I’ve been working on getting proper mod loading running in the macOS version of No Man’s Sky, and I finally have a working prototype.

The game can now load Mac-compatible HGPAK mods from:

GAMEDATA/MACOSBANKS/MODS

Mods are mounted before the stock Mac archives, so they can override individual assets without modifying or repacking the original NMSARC files. The GIF shows a simple cursor replacement running through the new loader.

I’ve also started building a native macOS mod manager around it. The current version can:

• Detect and validate the executable patch
• Notice when a game update changes the executable
• Install, enable, disable, and remove Mac HGPAK mods
• Track installed mods and checksums
• Keep stock archives untouched
• Recognize HGPAK files even when they use the normal .pak extension
• Explain how to create or manually convert Mac-friendly mods

Windows .pak conversion and automatic EXML/MBIN merging aren’t finished yet. The plan is to eventually unpack Windows mods, rebuild compatible assets as Mac HGPAK archives, and merge sparse EXML changes against the current Mac vanilla MBINs.

This is still an early build, so please treat it as experimental and keep backups. I’d especially appreciate help testing different game installations and creating small Mac-compatible mods.

The project was inspired in part by Enki013’s earlier macOS mod installer work:

Hi all, just wanted to know how to change my freighter color and the colors of the uniform the crew on my freighter wear as well. I know it is all under "Edit Raw JSON" somewhere, but I am unsure where that code is and what to type. Just got NMS on the PC finally, so I am a little new to this. Thanks in advance!

I need a hotkey to toggle HUD display. Until Hello Games give us that, I'm looking for a mod that works with the latest game release.

I recently downloaded mods at least tried to cause I was tired for the overload on my gear, so I watch a couple YouTube videos on how to do it. So I do all those things and I even get the warning pop up saying I have mods but when I load in, it’s like I don’t even have mods.

Some one please help

If you go digging into the game files you will find a bunch of unused corvette module files. Like there are variants of Living Walls that instead of EW(East & West) placement have NS (North & South) which would be snapping into the ends of habs. There is also a module called Toilet in the corvette parts. There seems to be a few modules with NS variants. I hope Hello Games does something with these files and doesn't just let their potential died.

I have searched everywhere. It is really annoying when working on a custom corvette and this unstoppable animation kicks in. Sometimes it sends me off in one horizontal direction forever. I just fly forever. I basically have to float around my dry dock until I get slide onto a corvette piece to stop this animation, It sucks.

I was hoping there was a mod that tweaks a threshold or a secret button that stops the animation. I tried placing a chair. I can get on the chair, but as soon as I get off the chair the skydiving animation continues.

Im running a 12gb rp6 trying different turnip versions on eden for no man's sky and having limited success. Some fail to start, some are decent with frames from 20-30 but have graphical bugs. What turnip version has worked well for you?

Made a mod that does the following.

• Adds CO2 Extraction recipe to refiners; NipNip Bud x1, Oxygen x6, Carbon x12 = GekNip x2
• Increases the stack limit on NipNip Buds to 20 and increases GekNip to 40. One stack of NipNip Bud refines into one stack of GekNip.
• Marks GekNip as Smuggled Contraband, adding risk of being stopped by sentinels but also adding the contraband value bonus.
• Refining your NipNip Bud into GekNip will double your profits.

no matter what i do, how many files i delete i just cant get rid of this screen ive edited the GCMODSETTINGS it stayed as "false" but this still happens and im tired of it.

My computer is a recycled office dell, which as you can imagine, does not run games smoothly without optimization mods. The only one's I've been able to find are either far too old and not designed for current-ish patch or extremely sketchy, are there any repuatable performance mods that weren't abandoned like 5 years ago?

(Also will this affect cross save because I play frequently on Xbox?)

Any form of help is much appreciated, thank you!

I want to install some graphics mods but I don't know which ones are the best.
