Post-Release Changes

Any changes made to the current version of the live guide.

What's New

This is the official v2.3.0 release of our No Man's Sky modding guide.

Asteroid Generation

Much of this release was focused on taming the asteroid fields. Many settings have been added and tweaked in towards that goal. Overall the fields will be more sparse, however, the asteroid orientation has been changed as well. Players will find smaller asteroids nearer orbital bodies with the larger asteroids starting to appear further out. Keep in mind that each system's generation will still be unique so some systems may have more or fewer asteroids than others.

Pirate Attacks

The probability of a few events causing pirates to appear have been lowered by half or more. After playing for some time, we came to the realization that the Outlaws updates caused pirates to appear more often. It seemed every few flights pirates would appear. Turns out one of the settings was set at 50%, which meant it was literally the flip of a coin for pirates to show during these events.

Ships

Several settings have been added aimed to smooth out and improve most ship docking/landing events. This has been done by editing various settings in the globals.

Additionally, all of the ships gun's and rocket's firing range have been increased with approximately one-third distance added. This was done due to the increase in loading distance to the asteroids and other elements. Since those increases the distance the vanilla weapons fired always felt shallow; therefore, they've finally been increased.
