Development Tools[edit | edit source]

AMUMSS (Auto Mod-builder Updater with Mod Script System) by Mjjstral & Wbertro - NMS script based tool that can automate every step of nms modding via easy to create and use .lua scripts. Once translated into a script, mods could be regenerated again in a click. It can also merge mods together, extract .pak files, check any mod conflict and much more...
MBINCompiler by Monkeyman192 - The tool for decompiling and recompiling all the .MBIN files.
No Man's Audio suite by Monkeyman192 - WIP
NMSDK Blender Export Plugin by Monkeyman192 - A blender plugin which allows importing and exporting of models from the game.
NMS-MCDAMM by ronw71 - a little No Man's Sky Mod Conflict Detector and ModManager --- edit - compare - merge
NMS Modding Station by Tub0Crisco - This tool eases up the process of putting a mod together by cutting down most of hand made steps. Note: it has PSArcTool built-in!
NMS Model Viewer 0.89.4 for Desolation update by Gregkwaste - explore the game 3D models and arrangments ! Note: original source code is here, with notes on usage & keyboard shortcuts in the Wiki tab.
NMS Vulkan Shader Tool by eaqz - Allows compilation and decompilation of .spv shader files.
PSARCTool by Periander - Extracts and recreates the .PAK files.

Cheat Engine by Dark_Byte - a powerful tool for adjusting any game variable loaded in memory in real-time. Note that these changes only last the time of your current game session, and must either be saved & reloaded alongside Cheat Engine each time (via CheatTables) or copied over to related game files to create a mod (i.e. recompiled MBINS, packed into .pak files).
NMS PCBANKS Explorer-Unpacker This tool included with AMUMSS could search and extract desired files directly from .pak files and browse all the game file structures.
NMS Reward Allocator by GmrLeon - this tool allows one to add either preexisting rewards, or custom rewards, to every interaction of any set of existing interactions in the game.
NMS UI visualizer by Monkeyman192 - WIP
NMS Extracted Tables by Lo2k - Lists all the game products and substances extracted from NMS_REALITY_GCSUBSTANCETABLE and NMS_REALITY_GCPRODUCTTABLE files.

NMS Save editor by GoatFungus - Tweak your savegame values the easy way. Comes also with a raw edit mode.
NMS Model Viewer by Gregkwaste - Displays game 3D models
NMS Location Manager by Fuzzy - Allows to create galaxy position you can share or teleport back
No Man's Connect by jaszhix - Online Location Manager
NM Seeds by LuckDragon - A player feed seed database for ships, freighter, frigates, multi-tools and NPCs
NMS Translator by Lo2k - Converts all language files into easy to read and edit txt files and back to MBIN.
A little script by Ben Spencer that converts .wem audio files into .ogg files.
Divinity Sound Converter - Another script to convert .wem files into .ogg ones.

NMS Annotation Script Generator by GmrLeon - Note from the Author : DO NOT USE! This tool is outdated! It is currently being reworked. These two generators, one for products, tech, & substance tables, and the other for the various mission tables of the game, create scripts that when run annotate the tables with translations from the localization tables for their various localization ids. This makes reading over these different tables significantly easier than jumping back & forth between them and the localization tables.
NMSE (No Man's Sky Script Extender) by Gregkwaste - similar to script extenders in games like The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, new functionality can be added through NMSE via external scripting. [NOTE: This hasn't been updated since the 1.0x release of the game. If anyone would be interested in reviving this project, many people would be very appreciative!]
