📋 About This Mod
If you want to buy more than one random map from the map seller (cartographer) in a space station, this will save both time and clicks. Keeps the dialog open after purchase, so you can buy multiple in the same session.
Made this for a request, probably two and a half years ago. Figured I'd share it with everyone now.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves time and clicks for players who buy multiple random maps from space station cartographers.
- Tiny file size and simple drop-in install—no mod manager needed.
- Includes a Lua script for AMUMSS users to merge with other mods, which is a nice touch for modders.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 79 endorsements—small community footprint, though downloads are decent.
- Last updated May 2026, but the mod is from a request two and a half years ago—may not be actively maintained.
- Only affects the cartographer dialog—if you rarely buy maps, this mod is pointless.
For No Man's Sky players who frequently buy random maps from cartographers and want to skip the repeated dialog reopening. Also useful for modders who want a simple example of editing dialog tables with AMUMSS. Skip if you rarely buy maps or prefer gameplay overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original NMS_DIALOG_GCALIENPUZZLETABLE.MBIN before replacing it, just in case.
- If you use other mods that modify the same file, use the included AMUMSS Lua script to merge them instead of overwriting.
- Make sure to place the extracted folder in GAMEDATA/MODS, not the main game directory.
