What's New

This is the official v3.2 release of the Step NoMansSky Guide. Below is a summary of the major changes this release brings:

Better Planet Generation

Better Planet Generation (BPG) has had some additional development from the author and new LUA scripts are provided by Babscoole. With these changes, Step has decided to retain the mod as an optional installation. The availability of LUA scripts heavily influenced this decision, since the scripts allow for flexibility. Users can decide whether or not they wish do install the mod or not; based upon the information given on with its detailed instructions.

Mod Evaluation

This Guide has only been maintained for some time now without any changes. However, enough time has passed that new mods are on the market and others have matured. As such, there are several new additions this release! Additionally, several of the mods have been reevaluated and moved to better fitting mod groups. Mods that greatly alter how the game generates the environments have been relocated to Foundation.

Mod Installation

The entire theme around mod installation instructions has been altered going forward. In an effort to reduce unnecessary noise on the Guide tables, the Mod Installation section of the Guide has been revamped to be more detailed. Them the individual mod instructions that were copies of these general instructions were removed from the mod instructions. The installation instructions are now provided in the Mod Installation section and the first time they are encountered within the mod tables during mod installation. Beyond this, they will no longer be present on every mod, which greatly cleans up the mod tables.
