Changes the loot received from the Atlas Pass V1 Red Barrels for early to mid game help.
Since this mod effects Rewardstable.mbin, I have decided to only release the LUA script for incorporation into current mods, using AMUMSS that change the REWARDSTABLE.MBIN file. There are several.
This script re-works the loot drop from the Red Barrels that require a V1 Atlas Pass. It changes the drop to the following:
5% Chance of receiving a Storage Augmentation token for your ship.
5% Chance of receiving a Multi-Tool Expansion Slot for your weapon.
20% Chance of receiving Antimatter
35% Chance of receiving 25 to 30 Deuterium
35% Chance of receiving 25 to 30 Tritium
The third screenshot shows the results of collecting loot from 100 Red Barrels placed on my freighter in game. Despite setting the percentage chance on the loot drops, you can see that the RNG still factors in.
I use this early to mid game to help expand the slots on my ship and multi-tools. Let’s me save my nanites for technology upgrades and Living Ship later.
You will need AMUMSS
How to use AMUMSS mod program to update your mods and combine lua scripts from mods. It is far simpler than you think and a much better
way to mod your game.
1) Download and install AMUMSS from Nexus. I installed mine in D:/AMUMSS.
2) Copy the LUA files from the mods you want to combine and use into the ModScript Folder of the AMUMSS directory.
3) Double click the BUILDMOD.bat file.
4) A command prompt window will appear, and it will automatically check for updates and download the latest version of the MBINcompiler and library (Updated after each game update release)
5) It will then ask you a series of questions:
a. ??? Do you want to create a COMBINED mod [Y] or INDIVIDUAL mod(s) [N] [Y,N]?
i. You want to select “Y” since you are combining more than one mod script
b. ??? Do you want to use a COMPOSITE combined MOD name just like that [Y,N]?
i. I select “N” but its just asking how you want to name your pak file.
c. ??? Do you want to use a Numeric suffix[Y] or the current DATE-TIME[N] [Y,N]?
i. I select “Y” in order to get a cleaner name on my file
d. ??? Would you like to COPY the created Mod PAKS to your game folder and DELETE [DISABLEMODS.txt] [Y,N]?
i. The program knows where your No Man’s Sky MODS folder is and can place your compiled mod in the folder for you. Also, since Disablemods.txt has to be deleted or renamed it will check if this is done for you. Select [Y]
e. ??? Would you like to check your NMS MODS for conflicts? [Y,N]?
i. AMUMSS will check the scripts and the other mod pak files in your MODS folder to determine if 2 mods are changing the same game file. Usually this means that one PAK file will overwrite the other which is not good, but in the case of scripts often mods are editing the same file, just different lines, which is fine. Your choice, but I like to know so I select [Y]
6) After this the magic stuff happens and your tailored mod pak is created/updated for you.
7) When it is done it will report the number of Errors and Warnings… don’t mind the warnings unless you edited the LUA script files yourself, but Errors are not good. Contact the mod authors for help with errors. Otherwise press any key to close the command prompt window and go play your newly modded game.
