📋 About This Mod

What is this Mod?

These mods change how often there is a Freighter under attack when you warp into a system.

There are four versions of the mod:

Guaranteed Freighter Battles cause space battles after every. single. warp.

Common Freighter Battles makes them occur roughly twice as often.

Rare Freighter Battles makes space battles occur much less often.

No Freighter Battles brings peace to the entire galaxy forever. You may get one battle right away if your save is already set to have the next one, but after that, never again.

Only use one of the included folders in your GAMEDATA\MODS folder at a time.

Philosophy

There are a variety of reasons this mod could be useful or necessary.

Known Side-Effects

Battles may fail to occur if the player warps into an abandoned or uncharted star system when the next battle should happen. The cycle will reset and require new warps and wait time despite the lack of a battle. This also happens in vanilla.

Modified Files

About Available Versions

MBINCompiler version used and NMS version will match the MOD version. Any older mod that is no longer compatible with the current version of No Man's Sky will be demoted to the "Old Files" subsection, but will remain available for download. If I have missed one, please tell me.

This means that any mod files which are not hidden or demoted to the "Old Files" area can be expected to work.

MBINCompiler versions exactly match the version of No Man's Sky that was current when the MBINCompiler was made. In other words, MBINCompiler version = NMS version. This fact can be used to figure out which Legacy mods work with which Legacy versions of No Man's Sky.

Installation

Extract ONLY ONE mod folder to GAMEDATA\MODS from the archive
