Introduction

This quick guide has the goal of quickly introducing fundamental aspects to modding No Man's Sky without going into many specifics. Primarily this focuses on accessing your game files and introducing some core tools involved with modding.

You will be using three tools for the time being:

  • NMS Modding Station
  • MBINCompiler
  • Any text editor of your choice (however, Notepad++ is recommended).

These tools will help you unpacking, decompiling and editing the game files (as well as the opposite process). While NMS Modding Station will allow you to do the initial unpacking of all the game assets, in the future you will also be able to pack/unpack single files by using PSArcTool. For the scope of this tutorial, though, we will only use the other tools. Template:NMSPageClose
