📋 About This Mod
1. 1 Changes - Resource drops from asteroids have been significantly increased. This should now put the mod on a very similar level to the base game in terms of time spent vs. resources gained.
As requested a version which complete removes all asteroids has also been added.
------------
Some quick and simple edits to decrease the density of asteroids, as well as increasing their draw distances so they no longer appear to materialize out of the ether.
- Spacing between asteroids increased
- Draw distances of asteroids also drastically increased
- Minimum distance from planets pushed out to 50,000 units (was 10,000)
- Asteroids can now surround stations
- Resource drops from asteroids increased to compensate
Should hopefully feel more natural and less like the universe is one giant asteroid soup, although if you run out of fuel you may have to search for a bit longer now depending on your luck - beware!
Not compatible with any other mod which edits /GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS. GLOBAL. MBIN.
Made for NEXT v1. 52. 'Clean Space'/'No Space Dust' mods are used in the screenshots - highly recommended.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 457 endorsements and over 8,600 downloads.
- Solves the 'asteroid soup' problem, making space feel more natural and immersive.
- Resource drop boost means you won't be starved for fuel or materials despite fewer rocks.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not be compatible with current game versions beyond NEXT 1.52.
- Not compatible with any other mod that edits GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN, limiting your mod stack.
- If you run out of fuel, you might have to search longer for asteroids, which can be annoying.
For No Man's Sky players who find the default asteroid fields overwhelming and want a more realistic space feel without losing resource efficiency. Also for those who want a completely empty space option. Skip if you're on a newer game version or rely on mods that touch the same file.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're playing on a version newer than NEXT 1.52, test the mod in a save you don't mind losing, as it may cause issues.
- Check your mod folder for other mods that edit GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL.MBIN — they will conflict, so pick one.
- The 'Clean Space' and 'No Space Dust' mods used in screenshots are optional but recommended for the full effect.
