We are looking for adventurous individuals to experiment on some of the more obscure aspects of what modding has revealed so far. If you are willing to assist in advancing research of the game's internal mechanics, please update this wiki with findings as well. Within that article are links to places you can contribute findings and find tools that you may help develop further. Listed within the current state of modding article is what can and can't be done, so far as we're presently aware. As such, experimentation is necessary to learn more about these unknown aspects and interactions of the game. Research work is paramount to the continued existence and improvement of mods as many aspects of No Man's Sky remain hidden away behind untested properties and attributes that cannot be understood without trial and error. Modding No Man's Sky is also an on-going research effort and, as such, many pages will change over time as Hello Games, creators of No Man's Sky, release new patches and as various mod and tool authors publish new ideas and techniques. This is a community effort to document the technical aspects of No Man's Sky's internal workings as well as acquaint aspiring modders with all of the possibilities of what you can do with the game!
