📋 About This Mod
Description :
This Mod makes Refiners Speed 10 times Faster or Instantly !
(Personal, Portable, Medium & Large ones)
Same goes for Food Processor !
*******************************************************************************************************************
Installation Instructions :
Manually :
Place the "Fast Refiners" or the "Instant Refiners" folder (inside the zip file) in your
InstallPath\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS folder.
Beware NOT in No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS folder anymore !!!
Via Vortex (Nexus new Mod Manager) :
Just click on the "Mod Manager Download" button.
****************************************************************************************************************
Compatibility :
Compatible with NMS "THE SWARM" v.6. 44
( Steam's Build 23583900 )
3xperimental branch is not supported !
Modified File :
METADATA\REALITY\TABLES\NMS_REALITY_GCRECIPETABLE. MBIN
Thanks to BladehawkeX it is now provided as a patch/snippet (EXML).
****************************************************************************************************************
Merging/Updating Process :
An .lua file is provided as well to be merged via "AMUMSS" with any other Mod
providing some lua file(s) and modifying 'NMS_REALITY_GCRECIPETABLE. MBIN'.
To merge Mods with the latest release of "AMUMSS" (v5. 4. 1. 1W+) it's real easy !
First of all install/update your . NET to (at least) the latest 6. 0 Desktop :
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6. 0
(at the time i'm writing this it's ". NET Desktop Runtime 6. 0. 36")
As long as you're at it install/update . NET 8. 0, 9. 0 & 10. 0.
You would have to choose an .lua file from the Mod you'd want to merge and the one from our Mod,
put them both in the "ModScript" "AMUMSS" folder, run "BUILDMOD.bat",
answer whatever you want to the questions asked,
let it do its thing and get the folder (that can be renamed to whatever)
from the "CreatedMODS" folder,
if you choose not to put it straight into your MODS folder,
then put it there and delete both of our old folders.
For more details or updated ones check out "How to use AMUMSS".
That merge needs to be done again every time a Mod is updating !
Updating the Mod (in case i'm not around to do so)
is the same process as above with only our .lua file instead of two or more.
****************************************************************************************************************
Uninstallation :
Such a sad and awful thing to do...
Delete the "Fast Refiners" or "Instant Refiners" folder from your
MODS folder, or Disable/Uninstall and Remove it via Vortex.
That's it. Bye Bye ! ;)
*******************************************************************************************************************
Disclaimer :
Since Nexus last move (Collections and deletion policy) wim95 has lost trust/faith in Nexus,
and i for sure can't blame him for it.
As a result he took all his Mods down and gave me permission to updload a new "Fast Refiners" Mod.
So Big Shout Out and Many Thanks to him for it in the name of the community !
Fast Refiners is a No Man's Sky tweak that makes Refiners and Food Processors operate 10 times faster or instantly, covering Personal, Portable, Medium, and Large variants. It includes both a manual install folder and a Vortex-compatible version, plus an AMUMSS patch for merging with other mods. Compatible with NMS 'The Swarm' v.6.44, but not the experimental branch.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge time-saver for crafting loops (1,883 endorsements)
- Two options: 10x speed or instant, so you pick your balance
- Includes AMUMSS merge support for modders
⚠️ Cons
- Not compatible with experimental branch — risky if you're on it
- Requires .NET 6.0+ and AMUMSS for merging, which is extra setup
- Only affects Refiners and Food Processors, not other crafting stations
For No Man's Sky players who grind resources and hate waiting on refiners. If you're a modder who wants to combine this with other recipe tweaks, the AMUMSS support is a plus. Skip if you're on the experimental branch or prefer vanilla pacing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're not merging mods, just drop the 'Fast Refiners' or 'Instant Refiners' folder into GAMEDATA\MODS — not PCBANKS\MODS.
- Use the 10x version first; instant can make resource gathering feel trivial.
- If you use Vortex, use the Mod Manager Download button to avoid manual placement errors.
