NomNom is the most complete savegame editor for No Man's Sky, and also shows contextual information around the data you are about to change. You can also easily look up each item individually to examine its attributes, independently of a save, or get other useful information that are not related to a specific save (but enhanced if one is loaded).
The features of NomNom can be divided into the different main parts you will see below. A detailed list can be found in the FEATURES file.
- Manager Manage your saves!
- Automatic backup and recovery (in case you screw something up).
- Save your save as human-readable JSON.
- Copy, move, and swap slots to another.
- Transfer your save to another platform you own the game on.
- Delete your save.
- Editor Edit your save for your needs!
- Ability to edit cross-save rewards from Expeditions, Twitch Drops, Titles and more.
- Ability to manage fleets, change data values like currencies and stats, and organize inventories.
- Ability to fast travel to any system you like and trigger space battles.
- Ability to customize appearances.
- Ability to edit your knowledge and recorded experiences.
- Ability to edit the raw JSON (for advanced users).
The images are from version 4.00.0.31-beta.1. More and maybe newer can be found here.
Each version of NomNom is built with the latest game version (at that time) in mind and the version number is reflecting that. Each one is also backwards compatible down to Beyond 2.11 and even saves before that can still be edited via the built-in JSON editor. If you use NomNom with a newer game version branch than the one it was build for (e.g. your NomNom version starts with 4.60 but your game is Adrift 4.72), things should work as usual in most cases but there can always be a breaking change.
Each game version is properly supported with its own set of available items and features so you do not have to worry about adding unavailable items.
NomNom is compatible with every platform No Man's Sky is available on (some work better than others though). You can select a specific account/folder with you saves or, for platforms on PC, one level above if you have multiple accounts.
A complete and always up-to-date overview with additional notes can be found here.
You need to install the .NET 6 Desktop Runtime and the WebView2 Runtime. That is it.
If you choose to download the setup, all requirements will be automatically installed if missing.
NomNom is signed with a (self-signed) certificate. As this is a free app, it is currently way to expensive to purchase one from an official source but if you install this one manually, it has the same effect: Getting rid of the Windows security warnings.
You can install it as follows:
- Download the
zencq.cerfile from here - Open the downloaded file
- Click Install Certificate
- Follow the wizard to install it. Use the suggested config below or adjust as you
like.
- Select Current User then Next
- Click Place all certificates in the following store then Browse
- Select Trusted People then OK
- Click Next, then Finish
- After downloading and extracting the zip file you'll find a few files. All
you need to care about is the executable (
NomNom.exe) but new folders may be created at runtime (e.g. for backups) that will become relevant to you. - You may want to create a shortcut to the executable for easier access.
- As the tool includes an automatic backup functionality you don't need to do it manually but if you want to be absolutely save, do it.
- At first start the tools locates your saves at the default location of each platform but if that fails, you have to select it manually.
- Select a slot.
- Start tinkering!
- Guide and Catalogue will work without loading a save.
The versioning is oriented on/a mix of the game version itself and SemVer:
- Major mirrors the games major version.
- Minor mirrors the games initial minor version of named updates (e.g. Synthesis 2.20 or Outlaws 3.85).
- Patch is for every release between two named updates and can include everything from new features, to bug fixes, and other updated stuff.
This is for stable releases but there can also be pre-releases with following suffix schema that indicates its maturity.
- Beta will increase the first digit and be resets the second one to 0 (e.g.
-pre.1.0) - Development will just increase the second digit of the previous release (e.g.
-pre.1.1)
The complete history can be found in the CHANGELOG file.
