This guide will help you installing the Pathfinder Update on PC and then tell you how to install the mods for Pathfinder included in this pack.  You must follow all these steps:

--DELETING CURRENT VERSION OF THE GAME--:
You will now have to backup your old save file and remove it so it doesn't cause issues with Pathfinder.  Go to 'C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS', cut the most current folder in there, and put it into a safe location.  This is your most recent save so keep it safe.

Now you have to delete the current version of the game that you have before you can install Pathfinder.  Go to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky' and delete all the folders in it.  You have now deleted the current version of the game.  You are ready to install the Pathfinder Update.


--INSTALLING PATHFINDER UPDATE--:
Go into the TOOLS folder and open up the 'Console' shortcut.  This opens the Steam console.  Type this into the Steam console:  download_depot 275850 275851 3749359456608052294

The game will now be downloaded into 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_275850\depot_275851'.  Check the console to see if it is in another location.  This will be about a 4GB download so it may take a bit of time.

Once the game is downloaded, grab all the folders inside the depot folder and paste them into 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky'. This will install the Pathfinder Update.

If you want to start the game with an upgraded ship, you can install the old save I included and use that to start playing.  Go into the tools folder and follow the instructions in the 'OldSave' folder to do this.  You can also go into the tools folder and go to 'SaveEdit' to upgrade your ship or armor after you start a new game.  These steps are optional however.


--PLAYING WITH MODS--:
I recommend playing with all the mods in the MODS_MAIN folder since they create the best experience in my opinion.  The mods in MODS_XTRAS are decent but not needed.  Pick all the mods that you want and then paste them into 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS'.  You will have to create the MODS folder if it doesn't exist.  Also, you have to delete the text file "DISABLEMODS" in the PCBANKS folder or else the mods won't work.
