No Health or Shield Regeneration

No Health or Shield Regeneration

INCREASES DIFFICULTY AND IMMERSION by removing the automatic health pip regen. Now you must seek out health restoratives! Optionally also changes the shield regen rate with 3 different options.

Do you find yourself wondering what those white boxes in the wild are for? You walk up to one and when you interact with it it says “Health already full” or something like that, and you wonder to yourself “Huh, so I have to worry about losing health, aye? BRING IT ON!”

Then as you are in your 1000th hour on the same save and you’re looking out this marvelous planetary vista while ridding your derpy air-fish, taking in the last glimmer of sunlight with your aging eyes, and suddenly you see *all the useless white boxes out there* and you think “damn, I never once had to use one of those; my life is incomplete!”

If you have ever had this experience or something similar, this mod is for you!

Introducing No Health and/or Shield Regen, a novel concept that takes the duty of restoring your precious lives out of the hands of automation and lets the player decide when and how they want to die… err, I mean live!

This is a revival of Wombi & minimix2’s “No Health Recharge” mod, working with the latest version: No Man’s Sky: Prisms, 3.51!

Available with 3 different variants:

No Health or Shield Regen: Player will be responsible for recharging both health and shield
No Health Recharge, Normal Shield Regen: Vanilla shield behavior where it recharges quickly a few seconds after taking damage
No Health Recharge, Some Shield Regen: Middle-of-the-road solution. Shield will regen, but it will take 6x longer for ship shields and 10x longer for exosuit shields to recharge fully after taking damage. It is my personal favorite!

Installation:

Remove or rename DISABLEMODS.TXT file from the “PCBANKS” folder (location: …\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man’s Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS)
If it does not already exist, create a “MODS” folder in the “PCBANKS” folder
Copy & paste the included .pak file into this “MODS” folder.
Launch NMS and enjoy!

Alternately, there is a .lua file included with each version for use with AMUMSS! Follow the instructions for that utility for mod installation. This script should help future-proof the mod. I highly recommend using this utility to merge your mods!

Compatibility:

This mod modifies the GCPLAYERGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN and GCSPACESHIPGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN files and will conflict with any other mods that also try to modify them. Use the included .lua files to safely combine with other .lua mods.
Recommended mods: Gumsk’s GDamage (for more punishing hostiles!), IMonk’s Baked Shield (to help recharge shield manually instead of waiting)

Versions:
3.51.1: Initial release for NMS: Prisms
