GLOBAL Files

Reference Guides

Globals File List[edit | edit source]

These files are the "spinal column" of No Man's Sky. They include each and every setting for the game that is not related to meshes, textures, or game databases. With them users can modify things like wind speed, movement, ship controls, asteroid loot probability, and so much more.

This is the list of the GLOBAL files present directly at the root of the unpacked game files:

GCAISPACESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL - Settings for NPC ships, either pirates, traders for combat or landing operations

GCATLASGLOBALS.GLOBAL - Some Network Settings (is this still in use ?)
