Going forward, the Guide will utilize LUA scripts for merging mods with the Guides Resource Files, thus, AMUMSS will be used. This change is necessary to add flexibility in adding and maintaining mods to the Guide, as well as, helps in reducing the maintenance overhead for Curators. What this means for users is more work in setting up the Guide; per usual, we walk users through every step.

Post-Release Changes[edit | edit source]

None

What's New[edit | edit source]

This is the official v2.0.0 release of our No Man's Sky modding guide.

AMUMSS[edit | edit source]

Going forward, LUA scripts will be utilized for merging mods with the Guide's Resource Files; thus, AMUMSS will be used. This change is necessary to add flexibility in adding and maintaining mods to the Guide, as well as, helping to reduce maintenance overhead for Curators. What this means for users will have a bit more work to set up the Guide. Per usual, we walk users through every step. This also means users who are comfortable with the process can more easily add customization beyond what the Guide provides.

This is a major change in the method the Guide is using which facilitates the move to a major version according to Step's versioning scheme.

Step NoMansSky Resource Files[edit | edit source]

The Resource Files are now provided solely as LUA scripts for use with AMUMSS. Additionally, there are fewer scripts required with our new method since other mods no longer need to be merged.
