I Have 4 Extractors on my Freighter and ALL of them have larger storage and just make silver Craps Lod of silver and that's all they EVER make, Been to like 20 systems and all of them Silver just Silver!
heya, so i know im super late to this, but nexus never told me i had comments and my adhd ass only just remembered id even uploaded this -_-
from checking out what i did in the lua, the products were set to have any regular yellow system produce silver, red systems produce gold, green systems produce platinum and blue produce nanites. i'm in the process of seeing if i can update this again and get it working, but chances are if you were only getting silver, then you were only in a yellow system and not red/green/blue? will double check things if/when it compiles :)
Yeah this might be a vanilla bug as well. The mod you linked on the description page, if you scroll through the comments there, you'll see we've encountered a lot of problems since this systems inception. So don't beat yourself up too much :)
heya! thank you for pointing this out, i woulda had no idea otherwise XD so my adhd ass finally remembered to check this mod again (better late than never, right? :P) gonna fix this typo now, see if it compiles properly and then reupload :)
You have to empty them first, and visit the correct type of star before you see the updated product. If you change the LUA and recompile (to use different products) you have to repeat the process before you see the change. If, for example, you already have 100 chromatic metal in the yellow star slot, you'll see that continue to go up until you empty it, and then you'll see the updated silver get generated instead. Also, you'll continue to see the old products if they are empty until you visit the correct class of star for that slot.
I had mine update all 4 images while I'd only been in a yellow system, so I think it works for new extractors you build, but old ones will need some movement or something to update them
That is what worked for me. I tried waiting a few days--no change in products. Flew to a different star color--no change. Moved Stellar Extractor Room (Z, C, left-click [selects room], left-click [puts it right back]--now all products in the extractor are updated!
Thanks, that was just what I needed as guide to replace chromatic metal with tritium and up the storage capacity.
For those struggling: 1) AMUSS still needs .NET 5, which is out of support since March 2022 2) NMS PCBANKS Explorer.exe is only used to set directories 3) place the lua in AMUMSS\ModScript 4) make the desired edits 5) run BUILDMOD.bat 6) copy created pak from AMUMSS\CreatedModPAKs to No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS no need for the compiled pak from the download
Edit: EXTRACTOR_SPEED is misleading. AmountEmptyTimePeriod is how long it takes to fill a stack. For example to update only capacity while keeping vanilla speed both need to be adjusted: EXTRACTOR_STORAGE = 1050 EXTRACTOR_SPEED = -237600 -- calculation: -79200 * EXTRACTOR_STORAGE / 350
Thanks for this. I had did what you said yesterday and put the .LUA edited in the modscript folder and for some reason it didn't change right away. Now today, I open the game and it's what I set it too.
So, I just took myself a step up on modding and finally learned how to properly use AMUMSS. I want to change the substances that my stellar miners are grabbing. I edited the LUA, like mentioned, but I haven't had any luck on changing it.
Basically my question is: How do you properly edit a LUA, and where is it placed in the in the AMUMSS folder to register? Do I need to run the buildmod.bat after I finish as well? Is there something I need to do with the .pak as well?
If anyone has some tips for me that would be sickkkk.
edit: All figured out. Comment above helps for anyone else in my situation though!
Yeah building the paks yourself is the way to go. there's a section at the top of the lua that says something like PRODUCT_YELLOWSTAR ect. Change yellowstars product (ASTEROID1?) to the defaults that I added in the comments next to them :)

HG finally fixed the typo 'MaxCapactiy' => 'MaxCapacity'
so my adhd ass finally remembered to check this mod again (better late than never, right? :P) gonna fix this typo now, see if it compiles properly and then reupload :)
EDIT: Uploading now so should be available soon! it's version 1.31
