NMS Mod Builder

The NMS Mod Builder provides a domain-aware framework to model No Man's Sky mods. It captures mod scope, dependencies, target game version, and optional features to produce a validated plan and artifact set. Conceptually, users define the mod graph, resolve dependencies, and generate a manifest plus validation outputs that guide development and packaging. The tool emphasizes clear input- output contracts, version-aware checks, and a reusable planning artifact compatible with mod loaders and version pipelines. Benefits include early risk assessment, consistent documentation, and faster alignment between authors and build systems. Use cases span concept validation, cross-version compatibility planning, and collaboration across distributed teams. Its value rests on explicit domain rules, deterministic artifact generation, and a dependency-aware view that reduces rework during integration and testing. Unique differentiators include a structured dependency graph, semantic version-aware validation, and exportable planning metadata tailored for mod packaging and loader integration.
