Mod Request - refining guide

[lee37683]

I have a request. if there is one out there I don't know. I looked but admitting not that hard.

 

Most players for No Man's Sky probably know about this by now. https://nomanssky.gamepedia.com/Refiner

I've only recently learned about mods for No Man's Sky, and only bought it a few months ago.

I was hoping one of the modding gods on here would be able to make an in game version of refining guide like the link I provided. So don't keep having to tab out of the game and scroll through the page to find what I'm looking for.

either by doing a guide or some thing else. Like when ever a item is needed you can hover over it and it gives a list of what makes it.

Hi lee37683,

 

I agree completely with your refiner recipe request and have the same frustration. Maybe the refiner recipes could be inserted as a base decoration, like posters on a wall that could be read in game without or with an activation command. I suspect a wall poster would be easier to create than an item for activation. I am going to email directly the user redmas with this suggestion. If you ask redmas also, maybe that user will be more likely to implement a refiner guide.

 

I am considering testing the mod Pictures to Base Building Decorations converter for NEXT

to see if several images such as jpgs of recipe lists can be used in the current Visions version instead of NEXT version. Perhaps you could try this method also to ease the use of refiners, at least at a base.

 

Also, I find that using condensed carbon as a fuel is illogical and frustrating because ion batteries are more logical as a power supply to refiners and that I am always running out of carbon, which is better used for construction. I often have a useless surplus of ion batteries that consume an inventory slot. Also it is irritating to have the condensed carbon return to carbon when retrieving a portable refiner with fuel in it. Both ion batteries and carbon could be options on the refuel panel list. I will also put this idea on the Forums as a mod request.

 

Thanks for your input. Feedback is welcome about any success with refiner improvements. I hope you can enjoy any images I have posted to NMS Nexus.
