Introduction[edit | edit source]

Each mod is created for a specific version of a game. Obviously the current one when the mod was released, but there's some probability it will not so much be the current one a few months later.
So to be sure a mod is working, we have to check what is the current game version.
The matter is : No Man's Sky is updated quite often. In fact, some times very often.
ANd there's the public branch and the experimental branch and both could have different versions.
And more annoyous : There's no game version displayed anywhere in the game!

Steam Build ID[edit | edit source]

To palliate to this issue, it was eventualy noticed that Steam was giving unique IDs to each and every game release, either for Public and Experimental branches.
So since quite some times now, modders are refering to game version by their Build ID. To know what's the Build ID of your game, you just need to right-click on it in Steam and choose Properties. Them select the Local Files tab and look at the bottom of the panel and you will find the Build ID.

Steam DB[edit | edit source]

Another way to get this information is to check the No Man's Sky Steam DB depots page.

SteamDB not only displays current Public Build ID, but also the Experimental one, and even the internal (reserved for developpers).

On the capture below, we can see that all the version are in synch, but that's not always the case.
