(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Everyone knows that No Man's Sky was really over hyped and it let everyone down. So here are some mods that make the game just a little bit more exciting.


LOW FLIGHT MODE



One of the legitimate complaints about No Man’s Sky is the inability to fly close to the ground as depicted in all those early trailers. Instead, your ship automatically levels out when you get too close to the ground, which is the kind of safety precaution you might want to see in a real spaceship rather than in a video game.

But thanks to the good work of Hytek and his LowFlight mod, you can fly closer to the ground, you can even crash your ship. You can fly underwater too, though beware of occasionally getting your ship stuck in the underwater terrain.

NMS Location Manager



If you want to have an easier time revisiting previously discovered locations, then this one’s for you.

NMS Location Manager tracks your location in the universe each time you save, so you can set way points to find your way back there later, or instantly teleport back to locations you’ve already visited. Best of all, you can share the location of your save with others, letting friends set way points or teleport to your neck of the galaxy.

Deep Space



A graphics rework that aims to make space in No Man’s Sky look a lot more like 'space'. Deep Space makes the void of the cosmos much darker and less fluorescent, while nebulae become less in your face.

It makes changes on the ground too. The vivid rim lighting on flora and fauna has been toned down, making worlds appear more natural and atmospheric. Clouds are a little less opaque than in the game, and colors generally have been re balanced to make the whole thing look a little less over saturated.

Retro ’80s binoculars



For those of you who think Vice City is the best GTA game there is a mod called Retro ’80s Binoculars! These replace the default zoom with a fuzzy, scan lined filter, complete with an old Video cam date in the lower right corner. It’s a natural, campy fit for the retro-futuristic looks of No Man’s Sky.

Busier Space



One of the main things in No Man's Sky is that there is no interaction at all, since there is no multiplayer release. There are also barley any AI that fly around.

Busier Space increases traffic around planets, so there are three times more planet fly-by and trading spawns, and four times more space fly-by spawns. Pirates have been increased aswell, though you can switch this off if you’re looking for a more tranquil cosmic experience. You’ll also find ten times the traders aboard space the various space stations, and the scale of space battles has doubled.

Shutup



Shutup is an aptly named mod that allows you to disable individual sounds from your inventory and any or all of the warning messages from your exosuit that your shield, life support, cold resistance etc. is falling. You can even listen to a sample of the sound you’re disabling, just to verify that it is indeed as annoying as you remember it being while playing.
