What's New
This is the official v2.6 release of our No Man's Sky modding guide. Below is a summary of the major changes this release brings:
Fully AMUMSS
The largest change with this release is the decision to drop Mod Organizer and simply use AMUMSS. Mod Organizer was only used to install mods without conflicts; however, this leaves it entirely on the user to determine further conflicts between any additional mods installed. This isn't ideal as can lead to issues and user frustration. Another result is the Guide isn't as flexible as it could be. Since AMUMSS will call attention to conflicts between all mods it handles and is already in use in the Guide, the best decision was to simply shift to using AMUMSS, fully.
Recommended Game Mode
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.

10-Gameplay-General

- Sensible Planetary Charts | The mod no longer provides a LUA and instructs users to a LUA database. However after searching for an extended period of time, users will find the only one available is outdated. Therefore, a custom LUA will be included with the Resource Files that accomplishes the same thing as this mod, but it will not add Portals to the charts as the original mod does.

- Dropped
- LightFix | replaced with Exosolar's Lumen.
Resource Files (aka, 20-Patches)
Changes happened within the following Resource Files:
Solar Generation Globals
- reduced the spread of all asteroids
Spaceship Globals
- adjusted several settings to slightly slow down the ship speeds
- corrected a typo that allowed fighters to accelerate far faster than intended
- removed several of the settings around ship controls because the changes weren't making much of a difference
Vehicle Globals
- added and doubled the range for the local pulse scan
- removed the 'scan recharge time' settings since they can be adjusted via the Custom game mode
