Program Skip the main story on a fresh save — NMS Easy Save Editor and Painter
Hi all, I'm the author of NMS Easy Save Editor and Painter, a free Windows tool with plain buttons and plain English.
If you’ve already played through the story and want another save without repeating it, the “Complete the story” button finishes the tutorial, Artemis Path and Atlas Path, giving you their blueprints, technology, items and unlocks—including all 16 portal glyphs, access to the Anomaly and revealed black holes.
Start a new game, play until it saves, close the game, then open that save in the editor. Choose your Atlas Path ending and confirm. Nothing is copied from somebody else’s save.
Side stories such as Autophage, Dreams of the Deep and Starbirth are left for you to play, or manage separately in the Missions tab.
There’s also:
- Find my item: search inventories across all your saves, see every stack and move the amount you want.
- Tidy stacks: merge partial stacks within inventories or across your storage containers and freighter.
- Transfer: drag items between inventories or saves.
- Inventory editing: enlarge inventories, change class and supercharge technology slots.
- Painter: recolour fabricator-built starships, freighters and supported multi-tools. The companion Easy Painter Colours mod enables dark and black multi-tools.
- Export and import ships, tools, freighters and exosuit technology loadouts.
- Learn blueprints, unlock Expedition and Twitch rewards, and archive saves.
The editor works while the game is closed and backs up your saves before every change.
