Addressing Ad Nauseam Questions to preserve my Sanity and create Topical discussions

I wrote this so I don't have to play 20 questions with people and/or address the same 20 questions with every (biome) mod I make. Many thanks to people who provide detailed, constructive, informative feedback which helps me improve and make better stuff. <3

Translating the mod

UPDATING TO VERSION 4.5x - READ CAREFULLY

With the release of game version 4.50 (Omega update), HG changed the structure of the save data files used by the game. This conversion process has caused some serious issues with Project Apollo. As a result, all custom technology, items and mission data (and potentially other data from my mod) WILL GET RESET, effectively negating any kind of gameplay progress made by players in Project Apollo and putting them back to square one.

Let me be painfully clear: THERE IS NO WAY AROUND THIS. Hello Games can do what they want with their title, including shaking the foundations of many mods. It sucks for you as the mod user, it sucks for me as the mod author. I can not offer any proper fix for th...

Creating translations for other languages

Since version 4.48.1, the LUA script for the LANG module allows to generate custom localization files for other languages. To create a translation of Misc Text Fixes, follow these steps.



1. Prepare new text entries in target language

Replace the English text elements in variables listed in sections LOCALIZATION FILE ... of the LUA script with desired entries in your target language. Be aware of usage of various formatting tags, in-game variables and special characters such as line break or hard space. Example of modified entry from Loc File 1 section:





2. Assign target language

After replacing all the needed text entries, navigate the script down to the SCRIPT DATA AND FUNCTIONS section and change the valu...

CRAFT module
Warp Hypercore crafting tooltip

The in-game tooltip for crafting Warp Hypercores incorrectly ask players to use Antimatter and Antimatter Housing to create this product. A proper tooltip including Antimatter and Storm Crystals was not present in the game. This mods adds the missing tooltip property and changes the Product Table to reference this new tooltip.

Custom tooltip for Heart of the Sun

Players who find themselves completing the Artemis Path (main story line) might end up not knowing how to obtain the Heart of the Sun item for the Remembrance exosuit technology. The recipe for HotS is learned during the ending phase of the Atlas ...

Localization file 1
New save messages for Multiplayer and Nexus mission scenarios

The existing messages can be misleading, since the only thing that is properly saved is player's inventory state. These new messages specify what is saved, depending on the scenario.

New verbiage for Solar Panel Power

The stat in question that can be found on life support upgrades is confusing to many players.I opted to express its functionality in simplier terms: Daytime Efficiency. The new label still gives the general idea of the bonus provided and it allows to keep the + sign on numerical value of the stat.

FAQ

Where is the exotic blueprint for Infra Knife weapon system?

There isn't one. I had no idea what changes I could make to IK without making it even more overpowered or without unnecessarily nerfing it just for the sake of doing something about it. IK is a very good spot right now, so let's leave it like that.

Why aren't there any new modules dedicated to Living Ships?

Since I don't use one, I didn't know exactly what to add.

Why is it called Project Apollo? What does Apollo have to do with it?

Nothing, Project Apollo was the codename I used for this mod once it started to take a proper shape. You'd think with all the custom names and descriptions I did, I would come up with 1 more interesting name, right? Nope, I'm all out of creat...

Thanks to FriendlyFirePL for converting the article from Fallout 4 to No Man's Sky use.

It's an algorithm (method) for tracking down the exact crash culprit mod file. Here's a clear example on how to do it. Let's say you have 100 activated PAK files in total, and let's give all those Mods arbitrary names. (Mod1, Mod2, Mod3... all the way to Mod100).
Your goal is to disable half, only leave all Mods from Mod1 to Mod50 enabled. After that:


If the game crashes again, then you know the culprit is somewhere between Mod1 and Mod50. Now you disable half of those, so you only leave all Mods from Mod1 to Mod25 enabled and test again.


Each time you crash, disable half of the Mod range from which you deduced it mu...

Mod and Unmod'ed
The ExoCraft Cannon is vulnerable unto itself much like the Geology Cannon and Plasma Launcher unto your character.  This is a pic of an unmodded session. 

What I noticed yesterday was instant death in the Nomad fighting the Sentinels and didn't see them cast their shields up with apparently deflect the Cannon I have Superslotted.   So be careful with this as this appears to be the best way to ruin any game session especially PermaDeath.
