📋 About This Mod
Reduced Launch Cost
4. 1 version is compatible with Cursed 5. 29
Removes or lowers the fuel cost for launching your ship from the ground.
Note 1 : Each ship type uses different fuel quantities when taking-off and playing in survival doubles fuel quantities !
Note 2 : Since a few game updates, you can use supercharged slots to improve fuel efficiency, get ingame technology modules reducing fuel quantity used per launch or even slowly recharging your fuel tank when landed !
Options for free cost (instead of 25% of energy per launch), 10% and 5% of total energy per launch

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

- Huge community trust (6,269 endorsements) — this is a go-to mod for launch cost tweaks
- Three flexible options (0%, 5%, 10%) let you balance challenge and convenience
- Simple drop-in installation — just pick a pak and copy it over
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with any other mod that edits NMS_REALITY_GCTECHNOLOGYTABLE.MBIN — you'll need to merge manually
- No in-game config — you must choose a variant before installing, and switching requires file replacement

For No Man's Sky players who find launch fuel costs tedious, especially in survival mode where costs double. Great for builders and explorers who want to hop between planets without constant fuel management. Skip if you prefer the vanilla survival challenge or use other mods that alter technology tables.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If the mod doesn't work, rename the pak file to start with 'XX' (e.g., XXReducedLaunchCost_0.pak) to ensure it loads last and avoids conflicts.
- Remember to delete the DISABLEMODS.txt file in PCBANKS if it exists, or the game will ignore all mods.
- For survival mode, note that fuel costs are doubled, so the 0% option is the only way to completely eliminate launch costs.
