About this mod Machine translation

This mod changes the type of fuel required to recharge the Jump Drive (Pulsating Heart) and Hyper Drive (Singularity Cortex).

The Jump Drive (Pulsating Heart) now requires Liquid Sun, which is collected from terrain deposits using the Sun Ray attachment, instead of Silver and Gold. As a backup, you can also use Living Slime (the delicate stuff) to fuel your drive.

This mod also changes the ferrous metal requirements for Hyperdrives (Exotic Cortex). Now it requires collecting Shattered Qualia with the Animus Beam attachment from animals.

As a side note, when you select the Animus Beam on the Multi-Tool, if you use the Life Ship to shoot creatures on a planet, it will also collect fragmented Qualia instead of Meat and Iolite.

The other ingredients are unchanged since they use fuel that makes sense for an organic living ship.

This mod makes changes to the NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN file. I've included my Lua script for combining conflicting mods using AMUMSS.

How to use AMUMSS mod program to update mods and combine lua scripts in mods. It's much simpler than you think, and much better than you think

Ways to improve your game.

  • Download and install AMUMSS from. I installed mine in D:/AMUMSS.
  • Copy the LUA files in the mods to be merged into the ModScript folder of the AMUMSS directory.
  • Double-click the BUILDMOD.bat company file.
  • A command prompt window will appear, which will automatically check for updates and download the latest versions of MBINcompiler and libraries

(Updated after each game update is released)

  • It will then ask you a series of questions:

a? ? ? Do you want to create a combined pattern[Y] or a single pattern[N][Y,N]?

i. You want to select "Y" because you are combining multiple mod scripts

b? ? ? Do you want to use a composite mod name like [Y,N]?

i. I chose "N", but it just asks how you want to name your pak file.

c? ? ? Do you want to use numeric suffix [Y] or current datetime [N][Y,N]?

i. I chose "Y" to get a cleaner name in my file

d? ? ? Do you want to copy the created mod pak to the game folder and delete [disable ods.txt] yes no?

i. This program knows where your No Man's Sky MODS folder is and can put your compiled mods in your folder. Also, since disabled ods.txt must be deleted or renamed it will check if it does this for you. Select [Y]

e? ? ? Want to check NMS MODS for conflicts? Yes or no?

i. AMUMSS will check scripts and other mod pak files in the MODS folder to determine if two mods are changing the same game file. Usually this means one PAK file overwrites another, which is bad, but in the case of scripts, mods often edit the same file, just different lines, which is fine. Your choice but I wanted to know so I chose

  • After this, the magic happens, your customized mod-pak is created/updated for you and placed in your MODS folder.
  • When it completes it will report the number of errors and warnings... don't mind the warnings unless you edited the LUA script file yourself, but errors are bad. For help with errors, please contact the mod author. Otherwise, press any key to close the command prompt window and continue playing the newly modified game.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
