Omega Update 3

Thank you for your patience!
Previously, Omega Update 2 - Fix critical bug that was affecting the slot numbering, if one of your changes was applied to the
wrong save, please restore backup on that save after getting the new
version (see help section, backups)
NOTE: There is still a bug for some (or maybe all) xbox/ms store users. Please watch this space, we are working on a fix.
NOTE: WinStore issue identified. Some people might not be able to save changes to their save game and it will become corrupted. There are instructions in app on what to do if this happens. This has been identified in NomNom.IO code, which is handled by a third party and if/when they release a fix, it will arrive in NMSC as well (see NomNom Save Game Editor). This issue only affects some users.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Lightweight app that lets you back up locations, bases, companions, star ships, bytebeat tracks, multitools, freighters, settlements, frigates and squadrons (along with custom thumbnail), share with others and import back into any save at any time! More to come...
Also - backup any JSON snippet from the save game. Also - backup entire saves along with mods, and swap them at any time!
Fully integrated with the fast-growing No Man's Sky Creative & Sharing Hub discord (with over 20,000 members, making it the second largest NMS discord!):
~~~~~~~~~~~
Does what it says on the tin: a simple GUI app that lets you quickly backup your companions or ships etc to a small 2kb file (or a few hundred kb if you save a thumbnail), that you can share (a discord is included). You can use the tool to import these into any slot on any save. You can do so even while the game is running (just save/load saves to reflect changes, doesn't apply to winstore, which must be restarted between edits)
Tool Philosophy:
This tool started with companions because of the following: I can imagine it was a tough question for the devs and there were many meetings, and ultimately it was decided, despite the cons, players would be allowed 6 companions at a time, total (it is now 18, but still). However, the cons are real:
Generally speaking, it leads to a dilemma of always wondering if one should risk growing attached to any one Companion, and that might lead to people either getting stuck with their first few Companions forever, or never getting attached and constantly cycling through them ad infinitum
So here's a tool that removes this dilemma! You can easily back up and restore your creatures on the fly, with nothing but a couple of clicks, you don't even need to restart the game! The app has a functional, helpful GUI that helps make things simple and clear.
Since then, this tool has expanded to allow you to do the same with ships, and much more!
Instructions:
There are two options:
NOTE: There is an optional version of the app that has a convenient in-app Updater. Click the Update icon in the app and follow the instructions to set that up, which will allow you to update the program in 3 clicks! The tool might need updating from time to time as it is prone to break like all mods, when there is a big game patch... The tool may add features and improvements as well. The offline versions here will be updated less frequently and quickly.
The tool is intuitive and full of useful instruction prompts, and you can click the ? icon to bring up more detailed instructions and picture guides at any time, as well as watch the official youtube video guide.
Notes:
NOTE: Use the tool at your own risk. The tool does back up your save files when updating them (up to 3 at a time, for each save, so don't use up all three at once before you are 100% sure you are happy with the changes you have made). Report any bugs here or on the discord or to [email protected] if urgent.
I will aim to maintain the mod, improve it, support it to the best of my ability, and update it whenever a game patch breaks it! A lot of work has gone into it to make it as high quality as possible. The tool is and always be free!

who provided code and advice towards the app, and WinderTP, Babscoole, Lowkie, JDM12983 for testing, and WhiteShark2020 for testing and the PS4 guide!!
Last but not least, a big thanks to zencq for providing the libraries that enabled reading and writing to WinStore/GoG/PS4!
Update History:
Recent changes:
-Companion/Ship/MultiTool/Freighter Load menus! Will list all your backup files with handy thumbnails, and filtering.
Backup & Restore Manager - an actual manager with automated restoring of backups at the click of a button, custom backup creation and more!
Ability to convert old save beacons and other placed items into bases! You can then teleport to them.
This can be used to find long lost planets, or even your accidentally "unclaimed" bases!
See help section under "Bases" for more info, or click "Add a base" on the bases tab to begin!
I have just re-uploaded this (again) with significant improvements and bug fixes, as well as updating the Help section with known bugs and things to watch out for.
ALSO: If you use the updater, update now, because there is a Backup & Restore Manager available there (see screenshot). This will arrive on the offline version eventually.
Base saving!
This feature lets you backup, restore and share your bases with others!
It works very similarly to Places, so please read the instructions on the Places tab.
The general workflow is as follows:
Note, for planetary bases, if the terrains don't match, then the base will be floating/sunken. You are given the option to adjust the height of the entire base when overwriting, and a bit of trial and error is all that should be required, but this tool is still best used on bases built on relatively flat terrain.
Places saving! Seriously, this is one fantastic feature and I hope it leads to some serious place sharing on the discord!

This patch:
Last update: shows names and locations for each save in the bar, and sorts

- there are quintillions of potential creatures out there, and how can a player be expected to know which ones they are never going to best, and dare to grow attached to...
- it's so easy to tame, that one ends up filling all their companion slots very quickly...
- if one wants to creature collect, one is completely out of options...
Generally speaking, it leads to a dilemma of always wondering if one should risk growing attached to any one Companion, and that might lead to people either getting stuck with their first few Companions forever, or never getting attached and constantly cycling through them ad infinitum
So here's a tool that removes this dilemma! You can easily back up and restore your creatures on the fly, with nothing but a couple of clicks, you don't even need to restart the game! The app has a functional, helpful GUI that helps make things simple and clear.

Instructions:
There are two options:
- Offline installer. Download and extract this, and run setup.exe. The program will be installed and available anytime from your start menu. Smartscreen might flag it, simply click "More info" and "Run anyway" to proceed.
- Portable exe, simply extract it and run the NMSC_Portable.exe anytime you want to run the application!
NOTE: There is an optional version of the app that has a convenient in-app Updater.

Base saving!
This feature lets you backup, restore and share your bases with others!
It works very similarly to Places, so please read the instructions on the Places tab.
The general workflow is as follows:
- Simply click the "Backup a base" button, and choose an in-game base to backup here.
- You can then click "Overwrite" on any backed up base, and then pick an in-game base to overwrite.
- So you will normally place a base computer on a new location, then go to the tool and pick one of your backed up bases, and overwrite the new base and reload last save.
- You can adjust the location/rotation of the base relative to the base computer before placing.
- This works with freighter bases too!
Note, for planetary bases, if the terrains don't match, then the base will be floating/sunken. You are given the option to adjust the height of the entire base when overwriting, and a bit of trial and error is all that should be required, but this tool is still best used on bases built on relatively flat terrain.
Places saving! Seriously, this is one fantastic feature and I hope it leads to some serious place sharing on the discord!
This is all I ever wanted out of nms, the ability to just find thousands of amazing planets and save them for quick travel anytime I want, with a screenshot and a name.
- Significantly larger and more detailed thumbnails across the board for a significantly SMALLER file size. You might want to redo all your thumbnails!

tags, and lets Patreon supporters create custom ones! - Also, added a Loadouts generator option on the Selector/Backup Browser

out the ship inventory information. Updated the ship stat ranges too,
