📋 About This Mod

Changes the amount of fuel used on each take off of your ship. FOMOD installer, first choose what "Fuel Costs" difficulty setting you are playing with (Discounted, Standard, Expensive). Then choose from the options I provide of 0%, 1%, 5%,

This mod alters the amount of fuel used during each launch of your ship.

Things to note:

  • []No major updates. Just verifying the mod still works with the current major game version (6. 45 at time of writing) and reorganizing the files.[/]

    []The game has four different built-in options for fuel usage, but it effects more than just launch fuel costs, and the difference between "Standard" and "Expensive" is only 5% for vanilla values. I've made three different options for the game to go along with this, so choose the right one to have accurate fuel usage.[/]

  • []"Free" is always free no matter what, even with this mod.[/]

  • []When using the 100% option, you could run into a situation where you can't take off at all if you mix up which option you download from here with the in-game setting. If you set the game setting to "Standard" but use the "Expensive" option of this mod, then the fuel required to take off is higher than 100%, so you'll never be able to take off.[/]

  • []The math involved isn't exact, as the AMUMSS tool process (or something involved in what I was doing that I couldn't figure out), was limiting decimal points to only six places. If it could go longer then it would have been possible for exact values. However, the trailing decimals are essentially negligent, as you'll run out of fuel before they mattered.[/]

  • []I included the higher values of 50% and 100% just for fun, and because I figured there might be people that want higher values for a challenge.[/]

I'm not positive I've figured out how the game is calculating fuel usage. Rather I've at least determined (I hope) the math involved when the LUA script is being used.

  • []FuelCost = LaunchCost 0. 125[/]

Standard

  • []FuelCost = LaunchCost 0. 5[/]

Expensive

  • []FuelCost = LaunchCost 0. 6[/]

    If wanting to use the LUA script, make sure to read the README.txt file for what values I used for the various settings offered in my FOMOD options, or how the formulas work to determine what you want to use for your own custom value.

    Permission was received from Lo2k to re-upload this mod with my rework. Can be taken down in the future though if requested by the original creators.

        • []Choose the "Mod manager download" option[/]

          []Vortex will give the user a menu of options to choose from. Select an option and finish the install.[/]

          []To uninstall use the "Remove" option on the right in Vortex.[/]

          Manual Install/Uninstall:

          • []Use the "Manual download" option[/]

            []Unzip the files.[/]

            []Copy the folder of the option you want to use into your NMS installation mod folder: :\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\GAMEDATA\MODS

            If you have any conflicts or issues with the mod you most likely need to utilize the provided LUA file with AMUMSS. If you think its an actual issue/bug please let me know in the comments.
