📋 About This Mod
Frigate LOD fix 1. 13
Description
The lowest-level frigate LOD model tends to pop-up when the freighter is parked in orbit above a planet. This mod fixes the issue.
Install
Unzip the mod and place the full folder into {NMS Install Folder}\GAMEDATA\MODS (not PCBANKS). Create MODS folder if necessary.
If the mod(s) still doesn't work, delete the mod settings file {NMS Install Folder}\Binaries\SETTINGS\GCMODSETTINGS. MXML and try again.
◈ The LUA isn't used by the game directly. It's an aid for merging with other mods, using AMUMSS, or modding yourself. If you don't do either, you can safely ignore it.
