🧰 Share and Import Corvettes (Objects JSON)

Always back up/copy your save data before accessing/editing JSON files. Changing JSON data can break your save.

Tooling

• Use the lightweight Python utilities from nms-corvette-sharing to export and reinsert a ship-associated base Objects payload. See the repo for details and latest updates: Effex-D/nms-corvette-sharing.

High-level behavior of the tools:

• Exporter: find ship by Name → derive seed (HEX→DEC) → find PlayerShipBase by timestamp → write that base’s Objects to a JSON file.
• Inserter: find the same ship/base → replace only that base’s Objects with a payload you provide.

How to Share (Player 1)

1. Export your save to JSON (e.g., using NomNom’s editor).
2. Use the exporter to extract your ship’s base Objects:
   • Example: python nms_objects_exporter.py --input /path/to/save.json --ship "Exact Ship Name" --output ./objects.json --tolerance-seconds 60
3. Share the resulting objects.json via a paste/link service (e.g., Pastebin).

How to Import (Player 2)

1. In-game, create a corvette you plan to overwrite (any size/design).
2. Equip a different ship (not the one you plan to overwrite).
3. Save your game by entering/exiting the cockpit seat, then exit.
4. Open your save in a JSON editor.
5. Use the inserter to replace the target corvette’s base Objects field with Player 1’s payload:
   • Example: python nms_objects_inserter.py --save-in /path/to/save.json --ship "Exact Ship Name" --objects ./objects.json --save-out ./patched_save.json --tolerance-seconds 60
6. Load your patched save and verify the ship.

Reference discussion/guidance adapted from community posts: Nexus Mods – No Man’s Sky (mod 3791, Posts tab).

Notes:

• Increase --tolerance-seconds if the tool can’t match the base on the first try.
• These tools only modify the matched base’s Objects field.
