📋 About This Mod
These textures are an improvement over the original textures, while still staying true to the art style of NMS. The textures are up-ressed from the original resolution (512), to 2x the size (1024). I haven't seen any noticeable performance degradations, however, keep in mind that I am using a GTX 970.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 549 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
- Simple texture upgrade that keeps the game's look intact.
- Author reports no performance hit on a GTX 970, so mid-range cards should handle it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with current game versions.
- Only affects crystals, so the visual impact is limited to those specific objects.
For No Man's Sky players who want sharper crystal textures without changing the game's aesthetic. If you're a modder or enjoy tweaking visuals, this is a lightweight addition. Skip if you're looking for broader graphical overhauls or gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original game files before replacing textures, though this mod is a simple drop-in.
- If you're using a mod manager, check if it supports No Man's Sky to avoid manual installation.
- Since the mod is from 2016, test it on a save you don't care about to ensure it works with your current game version.
