Are there mods for community made campaign missions?

I absolutely loved Stranded. High seas was also incredible because I had to innovate and create and explore. Even Airborne was fun, tho less so because it was quite a bit easier than the others, and focused so heavily on combat. But the space expansion was a huge let down. No incentive to explore and no limitations on blocks or power cores.

My question is: are there mods or community content that introduce limitations/incentives or missions to the space sector and or other maps?

as far as i know space wasn't a campaign?

making a map and objectives for it is difficult because it requires skills in those areas, plus knowing how to make a tm mod

I was working on a mod that focused on the player transporting goods around a custom snow map, whilst caring for the durability of the cargo and speed of delivery. But i kinda lost interest and moved on. But if there is big interest i might get back to it

did you use the existing snow prefabs for the snow surface or was it just a custom model

i wanna try making a low poly terrain model as a guide and then using prefabs to do the actual terrain but ive never gotten around to it

That is exactly the kind of thing I'm going for. I would LOVE more cargo missions. One of my favorite parts of my first playthrough of stranded is that I DIDNT discover the tractor beam till very late in the campaign, so I had to engineer all sorts of grabbers, loaders, lifters, etc. The exploding salvage was the most infuriating and fun because it needed very delicate tools to lift it.

Right now I've set a personal challenge to create a vehicle that can retrieve/transport FIVE salvage from High Seas at the same time. Having a REASON to build a big semi, or a cargo plane, or a heavy lift helicopter, that excites me.

that part about the electromagnet in stranded in space is actually real

Please continue this project. I am always wishing there was a search& rescue or cargo haul mode/mod for the game.

hey so as the other guy said, please continue this. i wanna give some tips for UX. don't tell players what to do, show them. establish how to play the game in-world and not in-your-face. you can maybe have some arrows especially with the newer yellow/blue arrow prefabs we got recently in a mini-tutorial area, but then from there you have to first find something on your own to get, and then itll point you in a general direction, and maybe a low-flying arrow pointing at the deliver point. if you really want, make some bumpy offroad trails on some difficult missions

i really wanna see some more campaigns in this game, especially ones that arent just "shoot enemy. pickup BIRD. return BIRD. repeat." or "have the entire game available to you to pickup these regular bits of salvage". limit the player by either making the trails small enough, or detonating blocks that arent allowed and displaying a subtle message saying "you can't use __ block! remove them from your vehicle."

i wanna truly and purely pick up a box, and take a genuinely difficult offroad trail in a damn functional truck, and then be rewarded for it. a lot of games really dont feel difficult and if they are it usually doesn't pay off too well.

hell you could probably even make a system to "buy" blocks by not detonating them on spawn
