Original mod for Next was created by Ray Khouri/mrgamemafia but I have recompiled it for Beyond after reading a helpful post from waduk.
To install, simply drop the _MoreFreightersAndSpaceBattles.pak file into your game's mods folder at GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS (create the folder if it doesn't exist). Then just warp to another system and enjoy!
Please note that whenever a major update (e.g. Expeditions) is released, it's likely to either break or cause some in-game weirdness as it modifies two of the major MBIN game config files. This means it's also dependent on there being a current version of MBINCompiler for decompiling the files themselves. I will try to keep this up to date but it's also fairly easy to update it yourself using No Man's Sky Modding Station and MBINCompiler - the details of the changed values are in the description. Hope this helps.
This mod for No Man's Sky increases freighter spawn chance to 100% and removes cooldowns between space battles, making encounters nearly constant. It's a simple drop-in .pak file that modifies two game config files, but it's no longer maintained and may break with major updates.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Create the MODS folder at GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS if it doesn't exist, then drop the .pak file in.
