📋 About This Mod
This mod basically allows you to fly.
Made the jetpack more powerful and much faster in upward and forward motion.
Jetpack should use almost no fuel while moving forward.
Also walk 2x, run and swim 3x faster & No Recoil whatsoever (multiple options).
Includes versions with Quick Wanted Level Timeout, with quick shield recharge delay,
Hazard Protection & Underwater modules increased to 1 Hour
and never being Preyed On by Predators and Fiends (Biological Horror or Monstrosities).
Plus "No Falling Damage" for all options and the upgrade's module the "Rocket Boost" has been boosted a bit.
As requested added increased speed in derelict freighters for all variations except for "JetpackOnly".
NooBzPoWaH has kindly been updating/expanding/improving the mod.
Since AMUMSS is now limiting the pak size to 55 characters i had to rename them as :
_1_SOS_JetpackOnly
_2_SOS_1xWalk3xSprint3xSwimNoRecoil
_3_SOS_2xWalk3xSprint3xSwimNoRecoil
_4_SOS_2xWalk3xSprintx3xSwimNoRecoilWantedLevel

3xperimental branch is not supported !
The Mod is provided as a patch/snippet (EXML)
so it should survive NMS updates for a bit longer
and shouldn't conflict with other Mods not modifying the same values
or the last one loaded wins.
( Thanks & Credits to JMZ for providing the templates files like )
New lua files modified accordingly to work with the latest
"AMUMSS" version (v5. 4. 1. 1W+).
********************************************************************************
Installation Instructions :
Place the "_x_SOS_...." folder of your choice
(pick one and only one folder inside the archive, .zip file)
in your InstallPath\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS folder.
and NOT in the old path No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS folder.
************************************************************************************
Merging/Updating Process :
To merge Mods with "AMUMSS" it's real easy !
First of all install/update your . NET to (at least) the latest 6. 0 Desktop :
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6. 0
(at the time i'm writing this it's ". NET Desktop Runtime 6. 0. 36")
As long as you're at it install/update . NET 8. 0, 9. 0 & 10. 0.
You would have to choose a lua file from the Mod you'd want to merge and one from SOS,
put them both in the "ModScript" AMUMSS' folder, run "BUILDMOD.bat",
answer whatever you want to the questions asked,
then get the folder in "CreatedMODS",
to use instead of the ones coming from our two Mods
(that can be renamed to whatever).

Superman On Steroids - SOS is a No Man's Sky gameplay mod that dramatically enhances the jetpack for near-flight capability, increases movement speeds, removes recoil, and offers multiple optional tweaks like quick wanted level timeout and no predator attacks.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,093 endorsements and 29,419 downloads — this mod is battle-tested.
- Eight different versions let you pick exactly how cheaty you want it, from jetpack-only to full god-mode.
- Actively maintained — last updated February 2026, with a collaborator helping to expand it.
⚠️ Cons
- The file names are a mess — you'll need to read the description carefully to pick the right version, and they're long and confusing.
- Only compatible with a specific game version (The Swarm v.6.44) — if you're on a different build, it may not work.
For No Man's Sky players who want to feel like a literal superhero, zipping across planets and ignoring survival mechanics. Perfect for sandbox-style playthroughs where you just want to explore without the grind. Skip if you want a balanced, vanilla-like experience — this mod is pure power fantasy.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick one of the numbered .pak files and drop it into your NMS MODS folder (usually in GAMEDATA\PCBANKS\MODS).
- If you're not sure which version to use, start with _1_SOS_JetpackOnly to get the flight feel without other changes.
- Since the mod modifies core gameplay files, make sure you're on the exact game version listed (The Swarm v.6.44) to avoid crashes.
