What's New[edit | edit source]

This is the official v3.0 release of our No Man's Sky modding guide. Below is a summary of the major changes this release brings:

Full AMUMSS Support[edit | edit source]

The largest change with this release is the decision to drop Mod Organizer and only use AMUMSS with manual mod installations. Mod Organizer was only used to install mods without conflicts; however, this left it entirely on the user to determine further conflicts between any additional mods installed. This isn't ideal as it can lead to issues and frustration. This also meant the Guide wasn't as flexible as it could be.

AMUMSS does call attention to conflicts between all mods that use it. It can also create patches for mods with conflicts. Since AMUMSS wass already in use in the Guide, the best decision was to simply shift to using AMUMSS, fully.

Recommended Game Mode[edit | edit source]

The recommended game mode for the Guide is now the "Custom" mode. The Custom Mode is new with game version 4.0, which is basically the result of Hello Games saying, "you know what...play the game the way you want to play it!" Step agrees and Custom Mode allows users to tailor the game to the experience they desire. Anything from pure sandbox and free costs to a survival death match with permadeath.

Step's goal has always been to lean toward the exploration side of the game, aspired by the original game versions. New elements that have been introduced since aren't removed but are rather reigned in. This prevents these newer elements, like expanded focus on combat, from distracting from more casual, exploration gameplay. Since many of the Guide's adjustments in this area are now available within Custom Mode, they have been removed going forward. As such, some basic recommendations for using Custom Mode are provided to gain back what was removed from the Guide. Users will find this new heading with recommendations at the end of the Guide.
