📋 About This Mod
This mod is an update version of Degraaaff's Natural Nights as Degraaff now has less time to update his mods.
As we originaly discussed together about making this mod the new Darker Nights, we finally offered our 2 different versions of night mods.
But as time passed and I playtested Natural Nights, I finaly feel his mod is better and that's why I offered him to maintain this mod.
So here it is, enjoy darker nights, no overbright blue tint, no flashy night water foam and using your torch light again.
New : v3. 0 has been updated for 6. 01 game version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 946 endorsements and over 44k downloads
- Actively maintained by Lo2k, with a recent update for game version 6.01
- Fixes common night-time visual issues like blue tint and flashy water foam
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with any other mod that edits NIGHTSKYCOLOURS.MBIN, so you'll have to choose carefully
- Requires AMUMSS 5.0+ to install, which adds extra steps for non-technical users
- No explicit install instructions provided in the description, so you may need to figure out the AMUMSS process
For No Man's Sky players who want a more immersive, darker night experience without the ugly blue tint. If you're tired of the vanilla bright nights and want a reason to use your torch, this is for you. Skip if you prefer bright nights or don't want to deal with AMUMSS.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod uses a .lua script, you'll need to run AMUMSS to generate the mod file—make sure you have it installed and updated.
- Check if any of your other mods edit NIGHTSKYCOLOURS.MBIN; if they do, you'll need to merge them or choose one, as this mod can't coexist.
- After installing, test at night on a planet to see the darker nights and adjust your gamma settings if needed for better visibility.
