See, as there are no official modding tools, things are prone to go south in different PC environments. Again, go through the documentation and choose exactly what you like, just as any self-respecting modder would do.įor as good NMS:Fantasy is I ran into a few problems while playing it. For example, you might not like the mining speed(greatly increased) or the basic jetpack duration(to infinity and beyond) that the merged version has. This will take you more time, sure, but this way you will change exactly what you want in the game. My advice, should you choose to try out the mod is not to go with its merged version, but download the one where every change is a separate mod, then go through the documentation. To be honest, it will be crazy to go through all of them here.

There are lots of other changes, from frigates having trading terminals by default to making the mechs giant, to improved character customization.

You can, for example pick a character and class to start the game with, which gives you a specific look, ship and tools. On the gameplay side of things you can find tons of adjustments and additions. Fantasy also comes with a number of graphical presets which can additionally modify the look of the game. There are a few graphical improvements I particularly liked such as increased draw distance and increased saturation. Now, as mentioned there are a lot more changes the overhaul introduces. They are now far more rich, lush and overall interesting to explore! This by far is the best thing in the mod and rekindled my desire to discover new worlds in No Man’s Sky. All of this, combined with greatly increased object and creature spawn rate make the planets look, well, more like real planets, actually. There are also new structures either pulled from unused assets of the original game or courtesy of the complimenting Constructs mod. Fantasy also mixes objects that could previously be found only on specific types of planet and adds them to other biomes as well. Now, I think the Beyond update improved upon that a great deal, but man, the environments have never looked so stunning! The variance in terrain generation is quite noticeable with very high mountains and deep ravines on some planets and endless plains and colorful pastures on others. The first feature that immediately pops out is the planet generation. Where most mods usually change only a few specific things in the game, NMS: Fantasy is going on the overhaul path, aiming to improve upon practically every aspect of the game. Still even with all the updates that are being poured in at a steady pace, there is always some room for improvement, right? Leave it to the modders to help with that! What we have today is not just a mod for NMS, it is quite possibly the most ambitious one out there. No Man’s Sky has gone a long way, from a total space wreck to an OK sandbox game, to one of the best games ever made(yeah, I said it).
