No Man's Sky Transcender Plugin
By Mjstral aka Meta-Idea

🪄 Transcender 🪄
The Ultimate Revolutionary No Man's Sky Plugin (PC ONLY)


The Transcender Plugin for No Man's Sky is a passionate fan project combining the most requested quality of life features and other innovative and carefully reflected additions never seen before. The plugin "transcends" the limits of what can be done in No Man's sky lifting several hardcoded limits regular mods are not able to.

This plugin comes as a single dll file mod you simply need to put to your games 'Binaries' folder, that's it !
It comes with a convenient launcher menu to enable just the features you want. This tool is the result of years of research on the games internal structure and it is the pinaccle of Mjstrals/MetaIdeas work. Some people call it black magic others call it the holy grail. To sum up this is a absolute must have and essential for every passionate No Man's Sky player.

Replay Expeditions

Replay every past expedition without time pressure conveniently selectable in the launcher menu. Transcender allows you to play every expedition fully online without compromise unlike other hacky solutions.




Launcher Menu with Expedition Selection. Untick the checkbox to play a official currently active expedition.




Galactic Map Extra Planetinfo Overlay

This shows extended and highly usefull info about all planets in a system you point on in the galactic map. It helps you to find your perfect dream planet quickly without wasting hundreds of hours of your lifetime. This is also the replacement for the NMS Meta Tool some readers might remember but fully reworked with planet colors, more infos and new much better layout. You can toggle the overlay with hotkey 'H'.

The following planet infos will be displayed: Planetname, Planettype, Biome and Subbiome, Terrain, Sentinel Level, Weather, Storm, Flora and Fauna Level, Water color, Primary and Secondary color for Gras, Plants and Leafs, Screenfilter, Resources, Atmosphere, Rings, Rainbow, Number of Creatures, Buildinglevel.






Live Ingame Ship Colorizer

Press the key below ESC or use the wave emote to open the colorizer menu. It allows you to colorize your ship and immediately see the results applied. Hereby transcender applies two special patches (Colorization Patches):

1. Disables the games auto color correction so absolutely every color can be applied and stays on your ship even after reloads. True pitch black is now also possible again.

2. Fixes the custom color removal the game does for sentinel ships when reloading so custom colors finally stick again.

So the transcender plugin is the only way to get a custom colored true black sentinel ship !
You can fine tune every single color of a ship individually even decal colors by selecting the palette group and color group.
This feature is also a partial replacement for the ship colorizer saveedit tool.
Note: Transcender uses the games default color override system of the ship assembler so colorizations get cleanly stored in your savefile and work even without transcender afterwards under the restrictions of the auto color corrections.










Multitool/Staff Colorizer

Let Transcender do it's magic and colorize your Multitool and Staff with colors that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.








Character Colorizer

For the highly individualistic players transcender also allows you to colorize your character with much more freedom than the limited 20 color palette the usual character customizer offers.




Higher Base Building Limits

The 16.000 parts per savegame limit has been highered to 100.000 so you can build 6 times more parts in all your bases combined. Additionally the base parts upload limit of 3.000 parts per base is highered to 10.000 parts allowing you to upload and share bases the size of a city.




Freestyle Base Building Mode

Optional checkbox in the Extra options menu (activate with key below ESC, TAB Extra) to build without any restrictions or warnings with extended base range and all limitations disabled. Glitch building techniques are a thing of the past thanks to freestyle mode. Freestyle mode removes the following limitations:

Out Of Base Range, Complexity Limit Reached, Collisions, Invalid Overlapping Settlement, Invalid Position, Invalid Snap, Must Place On Terrain, Invalid Max Bases Reached, Region Limit Reached, Base Limit Reached, Planet Limit Reached, Invalid Underwater, Invalid Above Water, Invalid Biome, Substance Only, Ship Inside.

So yes you can also build your base inside settlements now freely.

Voyagers Update: You can now also build your corvette with infinite build area radius.




Portal Travel Unlocked

Finally you can also select the galaxy when dialing the portal glyphs/runes so you are not limited to only travel within your current galaxy anymore. You can now travel freely to all 256 Galaxies of the game with a portal. Additionally you can now also travel to the hidden phantom and shadow stars without getting the portal calibration warning that resets your original destination to a standard one. To sum up you can now travel to every destination the game technically allows.






Discovery Menu Planet Teleport Option

Another top demanded quality of life feature so you can instantly teleport to any planet you visited before that shows in your discovery or wonders menu. Just hover above the planet and a new teleport option appears naturally integrated into the games vanilla UI. Once you teleport you will arrive at the portal of your choosen planet. It doesn't matter if the planet is in another galaxy. So no more need to fill up your save with pseudo bases to reach planets from your previous galaxies.




Space Walker Addon and Land Ship Anywhere

This special addon opens up a whole new layer of gameplay and exploration by allowing you to explore the space outside of your ship. Land near asteroids to walk on them and discover entire asteroid fields. You can even walk on freighters from outside. To allow this freedom several changes have been made: You can instantly stop-land your ship mid space via hotkey ',' (COMMA) and exit your ship anywhere among the stars. Next the automatic damage you usually receive when in space is turned off to allow you to freely float and walk around in space. But 'Land Ship Anywhere' does not only include mid space instant landing. It also includes rapid landing on planetary ground with hotkey '.' (DOT). This forces your ship to land 'no matter what' even if the normal landing mechanism would fail here and give a cannot land warning. The landing maneuver might be brutal in this case, enjoy.
