Third-Party Tools is a collection of links to external tools that can be used to enhance a user's experience in No Man's Sky.
Summary[ | ]
Third-Party Tools are tools in the form of an app, website, or software which aid or augment the No Man's Sky gameplay experience in some way. Not to be confused with Mods, these tools can be used by players on all platforms, and generally rely on user-entered information.
The most well-known example of a third party tool in the NMS community is Pilgrim Star Path by pahefu, the galactic-coordinate plotting app.

- NMS Lore Vault (redirect to NSFW page): Browser-based App - After signing up to be a Lore Author, you can create stories of any length, which may also include images and/or videos. Then, your story is automatically assigned a unique "Access Key," which can be posted on Communications Stations or Message Modules in-game, along with a short link to the website. Other players who locate the message in-game can use this "Access Key" to view your story. This allows you to leave information, lore, or other text on a planet while bypassing the Communications Station's relatively low character limit. By TheMarco (Reddit, Twitter).
