[sharp lynx]

good, this will determine the actions I take

[twin atlas]

aceles

they be freakin cute

[sharp lynx]

press ` then type Kill

[fallen vector]

i live in new mexico so i see too many stucco houses 😆

[twin atlas]

big ol chicken giraff lizars

[misty geyser]

What about white stucco on the outside, with wood paenling on the inside?

[fallen vector]

i don't think that's an option for that quest lol

[sharp lynx]

I will make it one

[hollow salmon]

lol

[fallen vector]

Go forth and mod 😛

[twin atlas]

TG coming in with the "you're done" option

[sharp lynx]

well you see, I still need to lock every single door

[fallen vector]

lol

[sharp lynx]

someone left a comment angry that I locked the office door required for the quest.....

so you know what I gotta do in the next mod

https://tenor.com/view/closing-lots-of-doors-cartoon-closing-door-gif-19042773

[twin atlas]

every door needs a key.

omg, imagine a door with a master lock and once u unlock it, it slides open to reveal another door that needs a key.

[sharp lynx]

tbf, everyone struggled with that quest, so I wont make one that hard ever again as a primary quest, only a side quest within that isn't marked so the keen-eyed player can have something to enjoy for their Int being 10

[fallen vector]

see how many doors oyu place in one spot and they all have to be lock picked open?

[sharp lynx]

In that mod... I literally locked 1 door

two if you count the vault but I dont consider key required as locked

[twin atlas]

people were like https://tenor.com/view/stanleyroberts-wtf-is-going-on-gif-12719054940226852173

[sharp lynx]

Oh

I mean... I was a bit vague I'll give the internet that

the mission log only specifically outlined where to look and the where to look highlighted what to look for

[twin atlas]

tbh, you could have said go to neon its in the astral lounge, and people would be like: really? and whose gas we using? why so far?

[sharp lynx]

or I could've said that and people still wouldn't have read the quest log and searched the whole place for hours then get mad at me for it.

for now and the foreseeable future, it will be markers and hand holding and if I do make a puzzle mod I will put a huge warning in the description that says "please read things when asked and pay attention to logs."

or I could easily put a quit button feature in the mod

Miss O is awesome ❤️

[safe sorrel]

And then people complain that quests aren’t hard enough

Ha I am?

[sharp lynx]

LOL

[twin atlas]

hidden button to end quest lol

[sharp lynx]

I put... the dataslate for homestead right in front of the door way so people wouldn't miss it

it was a bit hard tho I'll give it to them, I think... it isn't a comprehension issue I thinks its more or less a lack of anticipation, cause who tf is gonna go into a house mod expecting a full quest and dungeon with a few puzzles

[twin atlas]

im seeing that more than half of players skip dialogue.

[sharp lynx]

Now that my next home mod has none of that people are gonna be flipping every switch looking for the secret room XD

^ I think so

[spark spruce]

ran into a bug with the latest matilija aerospace: one of the flips of the cowling structural piece is glitched, so it disappears offscreen and detaches from your ship. has anyone else run into this, or is it just me?
see vid:

[limber current]

I recommend commenting under his latest YouTube video or on Nexus to let him know. I also have had this issue.

He said the next update will be more focused on bug fixes and performance issues

[spark spruce]

ah ok, so it's not just me then

i posted on nexus, but he hasn't responded

[pastel root]

Yippe food replacer

Now I can drink Kool aid pouches

Currently have 93 mods bookmarked

Do need Bethesda to fix the bookmark bug tho 😩

[twin atlas]

is trackers alliance free for everyone?

need to know for my mod

[pastel root]

Ye

[twin atlas]

cool

[pastel root]

Tho Bethesda did make a mod with a second mission for it

[twin atlas]

but the initial SBG003 is free?

[pastel root]

What's a SBG003

[twin atlas]

its the esm that added trackers alliance

the main quest

[pastel root]

Yes the main quest is free

[twin atlas]

k. my follower will be spawning inside so i was making sure everyone can use it.

[scenic shuttle]

Trackers Alliance: The Vulture is paid. Faction Story Expansion - Trackers Alliance is the free mod.

[shell pelican]

Is that any good?

The free add on

[cold slate]

Anyone having issues with Legendary Perk Recycler and Darkstar Manufacturing?

I have the perk recycling box in game and can use it. But when I craft I only see DS in the perk options and cannot use the ones I'm recovering from my gear.

[hollow salmon]

here is my new ship

The Wunderbar V

[next kindle]

Reloading...

[hollow salmon]

Does anyone know how I can find Adrostos for Tracker Alliance I been all over the city

[misty geyser]

Check outside the walls. He got out there somehow for me and the scanner can't see through walls.

[dapper galleon]

God how I'm yearning for the Spartan locke armor to come to creations. And my luck the author for it doesn't have permissions on or is even active. Such a bummer 😞

[torpid badger]

Does anyone else have an issue in ck where there are items that will not delete?

They have a D mark on them, I save and reload the especially, but the items are still there. I can't delete them I'm xedit either and the mod has the esl flag

[outer plover]

do any of you have in depth knowledge of pois/ the pcm and blockcreation lists?

[dapper galleon]

Omg I was in the middle of a ship build and my Xbox has to update wtf

[red briar]

For more than a month, this mod was always crashing when I opened it inside CK, so I couldn't port it. Today I tried opening and voila! No crashes at all 😮 I wonder maybe it was on my end, because I use AMD Software and it was making a performance profile for CK... so maybe that is why :/

In any case, mod is now on Creations for both PC and XBOX users, I know @strong oak adores this one! ❤️

[autumn idol]

None in here

[outer plover]

yea idk why i ever ask questions here

[mental timber]

hey! i know a thing or two.

[distant frigate]

Check use info and make sure it’s not referenced elsewhere

[distant frigate]

Nope no idea 🙂 but we are already talking lol

[outer plover]

yea lol

[torpid badger]

been through it several times, and couldnt find any reference

but i believe i sorted it out

in the details window, it may show d there, but if you ctrl del on a item, it makes it ignore status, then you can save your esp and reload and the items are gone

[safe sorrel]

Can you find them in “details” and delete them from there maybe?

Ha just looked down and was you did and it worked

[brisk flint]

I found a ReShade I just Love

[hollow salmon]

Good Morning everyone how are you this morning?

[thick plaza]

Hey man if Bethesda don’t release a banger update

We’ll be switching to Black ops 6

This new footage is insane

[dapper galleon]

Patience. Wait two more weeks.

[thick plaza]

I heard it’s dropping next month or at the end of this month. We’ll see

[dapper galleon]

Yep we'll see if odahfield is right

[carmine cave]

Challenge to the mod ding community, can anyone make a space Dog Meat, some kind of super predator companion fitted to survive in the Starfield galaxy. recognizable as something cooked up in the genetic vats but obviously descended from canines. also some kind of cat to keep the rodents that definitely came with us as cast aways, under control, might even help cut down the Terror Morph slugs in the larval stage.

[autumn idol]

apparently they initially was working on it

whole model ready to go but its unused

couldve been your robo dog that follows you across the galaxy

[carmine cave]

I had seen that before it could be used as a starting point, but I prefer my pets/best friends to be warm blooded and have a heart beat.

[hushed lagoon]

steal the dog assets from FO4?

[carmine cave]

If that was within my skill set I would.

[autumn idol]

you would need to retarget and so on

along with making new animations...

which we don't have support yet

[carmine cave]

As I said not in my skill set but I take your word those things would be needed.

I suppose copy and past dog meat strait over from FO4 is not an option.

[hushed lagoon]

I'd bet that would get you pretty far along in the process

[carmine cave]

I am actually quite surprised that no one has tried to do something like that already, given how popular Dog meat is.

[hushed lagoon]

someone would have to come up with a dog spacesuit next

[carmine cave]

Well there is plenty of canine body armour in FO4 mods to use as a starting point.

[mental timber]

terry the telepathic terrormorph >

dogmeat is a bit different than the average companion though

companion perks would be cool

non ship

[thick plaza]

Do verified creators get a different version of the CK?

[tacit tapir]

Don't know.

[hollow salmon]

My new ship i stole and and modify

Crimson Fleet Phantom

[next kindle]

Reloading...

[limber current]

Yes

[thick plaza]

A buggier version? Or polished

[limber current]

Im not to sure but I seen it on reddit

Not necessarily a different version but access to things not released yet

[wicked lotus]

I want this...obnoxious yes...but still...

[sharp lynx]

Boop

What are those rounds damn

[fierce ridge]

20mm Vulcan rounds 😂 for when you really really need to unalive a target

[mental timber]

.50 or .308 for sure lol

[fierce ridge]

.50 cal desert eagles in gold 👀 that’s what starfield needs

[dapper galleon]

Please make a ALIEN mod and Fallout

[thick plaza]

Working on it

[dapper galleon]

I have a idea

Make a derelict space station and put multiple Xenomorph enemies

Have a lore friendly story and at the end a special weapon

Make the space station dark with tons of fictional logs about face hugger and chest bursters and Xenomorphs

I hope one of you modders see this🙏

Starfield needs a Alien collaboration

[fierce ridge]

That actually sounds pretty cool ^ I love exploring abandoned space stations but I feel like there’s not many in the game

[fierce ridge]

Oooo 👀👀

[dapper galleon]

I know modders can make derelict space ships

I'd get Into the scene but I don't have a PC or know how code works

[fierce ridge]

If I knew how to make mods I’d make so many cool ones 😂 damn I’d make the titanic space ship outta doctor who just for a laugh

[twin atlas]

What is the obsession with Jango Fett? Im trying to build a Boba Fett follower and instead of assisting, its can you make a jango? Why? He’s literally nothing to the story. Jango isn’t boba with hair, he’s an entire different person. I cant even dialogue Boba without the community contradicting themselves. He’s not a talker yet should comment on everything? And the most asked is whats he wearing? IDK a thong? What is this a dating hotline?

[sharp lynx]

I think you should ask advice from people who have some semblance of how to make mods

[twin atlas]

Right? Im struggling with the dialogue tree. Theres no tutorial.

[sharp lynx]

it's also kinda a bit of a mess

it's done through phases now

and honestly the set up is really confusing when you first attempt it and not something you can drop and come back to months later either

[twin atlas]

literally where im at

[thick plaza]

Bro good luck

[twin atlas]

the only youtube vid i found, and the dude cant be serious for 30 sec

this is what it looks like in game, no basic dialogue

[thick plaza]

Also if you don’t set it up right, it won’t work when it’s a .esm

[twin atlas]

I swear if i figure out this [redacted] I’m going to create a template for future use lol. Im not having it. (Points at CK) you’re done!

[safe sorrel]

One thing I’ve learned over the years when it comes to creative projects, whenever you do/are doing one thing people start asking for another

It’s one of the reasons I stopped asking people what they would like, there’s always a surge of people asking for things outside the scope of what you’re trying to accomplish and it can get frustrating and demoralizing after a while

[thick plaza]

Please do!

I was going to make video on it but it’s too much for me tbh

[twin atlas]

Yeah, i stopped asking people. I just wanted help doing dialogue, the process id ridiculous.

[twin atlas]

Those who did make followers wont answer messages. They leave on read. Like ok gatekeeper.

[thick plaza]

I said that weeks ago, there are gatekeepersd

Tons of em

[nimble atlas]

It looks like from where you are you need to add the actors, you should be able to right click in the white are to do that. Top should be the NPC, you need them set up as a quest alias already but if the dialogue is for multiple actors based on conditions you can leave the alias empty and tick "Force Primary Actor" up top. Then add the "Player Default" actor

[safe sorrel]

I saw the post, and felt secondhand frustration on your behalf

[twin atlas]

Thank you! I see that option.

[nimble atlas]

Once you have the actors in, you'll need to add a second phase, that should be similar to adding the actors. The first phase is where you'll want to put in player dialogue if it starts with the player. You can do that by right-clicking in the player actor area under the first phase and adding New Action - Dialogue for a basic option. You'll do the sale to the NPC up top but under phase 2 for their response

There's more to it than I understand to be honest but hopefully I can get you in the right direction

[twin atlas]

Add help is good help tbh at this point.

[nimble atlas]

Make sure you tick the "Player Dialogue" and "Top Level" up top if it's a regular option, and "Top Level Topics On End" will return you to the starting options afterward

There's ways to do more complicated branching and whatnot, I'm not there yet, I have been doing separate scenes for things. But you can call scenes easily from other dialogues

[sharp lynx]

@twin atlas I've made dialogue I can walk you trough it

[limber current]

I can't wait for this. This is gonna be a good one ☝️

[safe sorrel]

While I’m really happy with how my Argos Extractors mod is coming along, the things that keep causing problems are so weird, like I spent most of this afternoon trying to figure out why none of the furniture in one was accessible despite being in a wide open space. It was some track lighting that wasn’t anywhere near the blocked items

I’m starting to think the creation kit has it out for me

[twin atlas]

Random mod idea. Space trailer park.

[round dawn]

Trying to figure out CK, 3D models, NIFs, etc. Maybe I've just become dumb, but I'm hitting a lot of walls trying to get this done.
Wanted to do what I thought would be a simple task - take the model for an existing ship weapon module and change it to make some parts glow. I can navigate down to the part in CK (found the COBJ with some guessing, to the FLST to the GBFM, to the pack-in for the "interior" and then I kinda get stuck. First problem I am having is that when I click on "Edit in Render Window" CK will sometimes just CToD. When it doesn't, there doesn't seem to be anyway in CK to inspect/edit the NIF information. I think that textures/materials etc are what are used in the NIF file to control the appearance of the part for things like glowing, but I don't see anyway of getting at that in CK. Does one have to go use NifSkope to do that? If so, doesn't that mean that I have to go unpack piles of BA files to extract all the referenced meshes, materials, etc as NifSkope doesn't see to know about BA2 files?

EDIT - when I try to go into mods like AvonTech to see how they made their glowing parts, CK seems to consistently CToD now when I go into the render window. Not sure why as I was able to get into that window earlier...

[thick plaza]

You want to make some textures glow?

[round dawn]

I think it is textures/materials that have properties such as glowing. I think I have to change the materials referenced in the NIF to make the change, but that is all guess work on my part. Cannot seem to get into the NIF file in CK so I cannot tell what is happening in there - which is odd because when CK installs it sets itself up as the default app for NIF files...

[thick plaza]

@round dawn Extract all texture .nifs files some where

Sort through files your looking for by opening them in nifskope

Find the .mat its associated with

When you do that open material editor and you'll see all the texture files associated. you can change it around look for emissive

you can make certain things glow as well

[round dawn]

What do I use to open the materials data? I found a BA2 file but it seems to have a CDB file and I cannot find anything that works with that

But also - I am correct in that I have to leave CK, unpack all the BA2 files and then run NifSkope to inspect the NIF files?

[thick plaza]

you could do that yes

[round dawn]

I could do that? You mean I don't have to? How do I get into the NIF files other than NifSkpe?

[thick plaza]

@round dawn so what you could do is, extract everything to a separate folder

[hushed lagoon]

@round dawn this video largely helped me get started with nifskope/materials/meshes/textures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHG6JMi3qFg

[thick plaza]

or fk it extract em all

and just click through the files

[hushed lagoon]

hahaha, lol, didn't realize that's actually you 510deshawn

your video helped me out a ton. Thank you

[thick plaza]

haha yep no problem

@round dawn going from this to this, look up emissive map

[shell pelican]

Can someone turn this into a mod for immersion reasons if you take your helmet off on a planet with no atmosphere?

https://youtu.be/Z5TqD5xf0ic?si=NyurQoeRFNm-h8-N

Awesome movie btw but if you are squeamish don't watch that clip lol

[round dawn]

Some problem with nifscope and paths - it keeps telling me it cannot find mesh files that exist - but the path it is indicating makes no sense given the directory structure in the BA2 files...

[thick plaza]

@round dawn yea go here

Resources > Paths >> Auto Detect

Try that

[sharp lynx]

white or baige?

[round dawn]

ah - thanks - I manually set the path to the game install but that apparently was not what it was looking for.

[glacial cloak]

Can someone tell me where I would place inquisitors boss mods?

[tacit tapir]

You can try with B.A.E extractor

[round dawn]

In the video is indicates to go into the 'Tools' folder and unpack a file named 'ConstantResources' - where does that file come from? - ah wait - found it

[summer plank]

baige for a warmer feel..

[sharp lynx]

thank you fren

[tacit tapir]

blue, I like blue.

[twilit prism]

Why am I suddenly not able to connect to bgs servers...............

It's specifically isn't letting me restore my load order

Out of nowhere

[round dawn]

Thanks for the info - the settings in nifscope and the existance of the ContentResources.zip file unblocked me on the issues I was hitting - thanks!
you know, your video was the first and only reference I've seen to that ContentResources file ...

[thick plaza]

Right on, glad it worked out

[glacial cloak]

I would love to see a crimson fleet weapon skin mod

[west geode]

Are creations for starfield expected to do go on sale at some point? I remember fallout 4 had some sales on their creation club content, but I don't know if the same applies to Creation mods

[hollow salmon]

Hmmm I think I ran into an issue or a bug with the lodge and using the starborn power

[silver dagger]

The base game materials are included in loose format with the Creation Kit, in Tools/ContentResources.zip. You can also extract all materials with NifSkope, using "Spells/Material/Extract All...". The latter method "flattens" the materials, it merges all objects with their parents so that nothing is inherited from external .mat files.

[silver dagger]

It should not normally be necessary to unpack the BA2 files, and in some cases it may even lead to worse performance. For opening any of the vanilla NIF files, it is easiest to use the "File/Browse Game Folder..." option in NifSkope. You can also extract the textures and materials used by the currently opened NIF with "Spells/Extract Resource Files".

Note that geometry (.mesh) files are automatically merged into the NIF by default, allowing the data to be inspected and edited, but this can be disabled in "Options/Settings.../General/NIF" if necessary. There are also spells for converting between the two types of geometry (internal and external). When using .mesh files, extracting resources also works on those.

[random hound]

A console with text... exactly what i will work about next. do you have an .esp file with it? would you sent it to me, if i say pleaaaaaaaase? 🙂

[fallen vault]

if you do, i can make a video for other modders.

[twilit prism]

How would one perform a clearing of the reserved space on xcloud

[eager ether]

Couple questions

• where do I find the skill/perk tree stuff on creation kit

• how do I adjust spawn rates (example instead of one terrormorph spawns three in same instances )

• camera angle adjustments

[fathom vessel]

is there any mod to fix microgun to suck less

[eager ether]

In what sense suck less ? Details

[shell pelican]

I am curious to what you mean also? I enjoy the micro gun quite a bit. I guess it could be considered a niche type weapon so prob not for everyone.

But to answer your question darkstar manufacturing seems to be one of my favorite mods so far. Can turn pretty much every weapon into a beast lol

[distant frigate]

Perks/Skills are in the character tree. Almost all spawns unless quest driven are manually placed in the cells so you would need to add more. The quest driven you probably can just increase a counter but again depends on the quest/relevant cells

[solemn plinth]

Any chance that the Starqueen Mod might make it to the Xbox?

[slim sun]

Zero, unless the author makes a SFW version. Nothing with nudity is allowed on Creations.

[empty furnace]

I tried different companion mods that change the appearance of them. They all load up bald. What mod is conflicting? Cause it happens even with different mod authors. So I think it's got to be on my end.

[autumn idol]

Didn't export facegen

[stray cloak]

If you’re on Xbox you try to exit the game after downloading the mod or if you are in game save in the area, exit the game and go back in. After that appearance replacers will work. I have several mods by several different authors that do this and every time I add a new mod or change up my load order I have to do this. Don’t know why Xbox does this but for some reason doing these series of steps as well as occasionally resetting the Xbox will make those appearance mods bake in.

[torpid badger]

question for peeps:

with energy weapons, would you prefer a energy bolt or a beam?

also, is there a DOT (damage over time) option for weapons?

[distant frigate]

Ya there are several damage types and effects that are or can be dots. Personally I’d prefer bolts vs beams.

[round dawn]

Thanks - I did notice that nifscope can look into BA2 files to find the NIF resources. I did have to copy over the loose material files from ContentResources in order to get into the materials editor in CK

[hollow salmon]

Ok it is not letting me go any further on the main quest now I went to the temple and got starborn powers and when I get to the lodge to use it. It doesn't go further they keep ask me to show the power

is this a bug?

[rich remnant]

Has anyone encountered issues with the mod big trees and big rocks ?

[hollow salmon]

@rich remnant sorry do not have that mod in my game so do not know. I have PC platform the game it is different with Xbox

[inner sleet]

Hi, does anyone know of an Xbox mod to access Crew Inventory?

[marble otter]

Anyone know if that xbox mod will ever be back on xbox? I think I've seen electionis adding them but haven't seen new ones for a while

Finally, something that’s not Star Wars

[sharp lynx]

what you dont want 90 variations of the same clone armor?

by 10 different mod authors

[thick plaza]

😭💀

Add co-op into Starfield and that Minecraft mod will go crazy

[tacit tapir]

@mental timber suggested that he could have the items used as well.

[mental timber]

thats sick

sooo when can I build a flyable ender dragon

[hollow salmon]

@sharp lynx @thick plaza @fallen vector @mental timber Is there a way to fix the Into the unknown where you got to use the Anti Gravity Field in front everybody, I used and the quest does not progress after using it?

[thick plaza]

You’re supposed to do it at the lodge

If I remember correctly

[hollow salmon]

yes I been doing it at the lodge have everyone there

[fallen vector]

why did oyu tag me? lol

[hollow salmon]

Vlad keeps telling me to use it

To see if anyone knows

I looked on reddit and the internet and nothing is working

So I am guessing that is a no then that no ones knows about it

I even used the counsol command to skip and it didn't work

console I mean

[thick plaza]

I think your game is corrupted bro

[fallen vector]

when in doubt quit game go back to a pervious save

[thick plaza]

Seems like nothing but issues on your end

[hollow salmon]

I did that already also

Looks like I will have to start all over again damnit

what I read it was some kind of progression bug

[thick plaza]

Dude what’s your system specs😭

I’ve been playing since launch and I’ve never had any issues on PC

Only when I had it on my series s

whos willing to recreate this in SF

[hollow salmon]

@thick plaza is that what you mean?

[eager ether]

Gonna take some time to perfect but so far so good

[thick plaza]

Dude those specs are unreal

[thick plaza]

I thought Skyrim and fallout 4 already had that stuff

[autumn idol]

fallout 4 yes skyrim yes but very limited

fallout 4 was a mess getting working hence why they yeeted it for SF

[eager ether]

Fallout 4 has a better dismantling system then skyrim

[autumn idol]

dismantling?

[worldly furnace]

Much better. It’s actually procedural. You can cut arms and legs of almost any length

I think they yeeted it for Starfield more so because of tone reasons

[eager ether]

Yep go to bench push x on weapon dismantled

[autumn idol]

you ever tried creating dismemberment for fo4?

its HELL

[hollow salmon]

well what can I say I go all out building my own gaming PC

Also playing Battlefield games on it is totally awesome

Nvm it was mod that was the problem lol

[twin atlas]

Has anyone messed with terrain? I have mod plans, but trying to figure out whats possible this early in the modding community. Can we alter terrain, like build a waterfall, or stone pillars?

[west geode]

Darn! What kinds of mods will be able to be made with this now out?

[autumn idol]

currently making one now

[hoary lava]

Anyone else crashing when loading into creations in game? (PC obviously)

Any known causes? I run very little so this is odd.

[west geode]

Yeah it started happening out of nowhere for me. I pressed windows button + r and put in %appdata% , went to app data, local, Starfield and deleted ContentCatalog and that seems to work temporarily for me

But it starts happening again after a while, maybe someone here has a better solution

[hoary lava]

Weird, first time in like 400 or so hours. Thanks for the info!

[west geode]

yeah, no problem! Let me know if it helped

[hoary lava]

It worked, that's so weird. It's hangup with the plugin list apparently.

[round dawn]

Have you worked in CK to create new materials? I'm trying to create some new emissive materials and I cannot get the colors to work. I start by creating a derivative of '1LayerEffectEmissive' called "QG_TieredWeapons" , and then derivatives of that materials to have specific colors. But when I modify one of the NIF files to use of the derived materials the colors just come out as yellow. I think the problem is that I cannot make heads or tails of the "Layer 1 -> Material -> Color Tint" and "LayeredEmissivityComponent -> First Layer Tint" properties.
The help pop-up for the first says "the albedo override color to use for this layer" - albedo is a measure of how much light is reflected from a surface, so I cannot figure out what an "albedo color" would be.
The second one says "tint color will be multiplied with the color map" - how does one "multiple" colors?
Have you looked at these? Any clues as to how they work?
I've tried following the example of the Bethesda "1LayerEffectEmissive -> LaserSight_Amber -> LaserSight_red" scheme works, but I don't understand why there is a color material in the middle of that derivative path. And when I try to add a LaserSight_Orange material, even thouggh the FirstLayerTint shows as orange in the material editor, it comes out yellow in the Nifskope.

[thick plaza]

You know as much as I know unfortunately. Still experimenting with it

So I have been trying to play this game with mods for a while like I have before, but ever since they have added creation club to the game and I launch the game through sfse I get an endless loading screen when trying to load a save or start a new game. It has been like this the entire time since creation club and have found no fixes. while I still like the base game, I would like to play this game with mods. If anyone could help that would be great since I am all out of ideas. Thanks in advance

[dapper galleon]

Is your SFSE up to date?

[amber badge]

im like 80% positve it is but its been a while so let me check really quick

[dapper galleon]

And just to be safe I would verify your games files on steam

[amber badge]

it is up to date and i have verified my files many times through steam

[dapper galleon]

Hmm alright how many mods are you using?

[amber badge]

honestly only like 10 since I havent found any good mods at the time of the issue started

but I just tested launching sfse through the files instead of MO2 and it worked for some reason so now i gotta figure out how to get mo2 working i guess

[dapper galleon]

Strange. I'm using mo2 as well and mine works like a charm.

Are you on 2.5.2?

[amber badge]

if your talking about the version of mo2 than im on 2.5.1alpha1

idk how to update it

nvm just found out

[dapper galleon]

I don't know if updating will fix it but the plugin.txt enabler mod is moot now

[amber badge]

So i got it to work but I cant use mo2 and have to use vortex which sucks cause vortex is terrible in my opinion

Incase I start a new game for Starfield, are there any mods to rapidly gain tier skills instead of grinding for skill points?

Thank you

Good thing this is available for Xbox. Because I mainly play Starfield on Xbox rather than PC.

[plush elk]

Are there any mods that sort quest log based on what planet they are on?

[analog kraken]

I figured out the issue with suit protection.

Any suit+helmet+pack combination creates a 100hp shield against environment damage. Yes. 100hit points. Better suits DO NOT give you a bigger shield, they reduce the damage the shield takes up to 85%. Damage from extreme weather varies from 1.1-3.3dps. With 50% resistance, that's about 90 seconds of "suit protection" in the most extreme environments.

[twilit prism]

I'm trying to use the crimson cutter from the crimson x mod but it's damage stat literally disappears when I equip it

[pine quiver]

@twin atlas may be you have to create a pack-in logo and object for each obj?

[safe sorrel]

are they instanced statics? If so they should, if not that might be the answer

Sometimes I find that decals won’t load when I initially place an item, but will after I save and reload the game

There’s a lot of weird “quirkiness” with buildable objects it seems

[hollow salmon]

Good morning everyone how is everyone today?

[twilit prism]

When I go to play a save it just says "all creations downloaded" immediately and downloads nothing

[strong oak]

Are you on desktop or Xbox, etc ?

[twin atlas]

Anyone else getting overwhelmed with ideas for Starfield? I have so many notes on ideas and esps made to troubleshoot some of them and its crazy. 🤪 i dont see how some Authors are popping out mods left and right. 90% of these Authors should have bundled their mods instead of cheating the download numbers. But thats IMO. Some mods as singles make sense cause of choice but when they release 6 in a week and they’re are all the same settings, thats sus.

[round dawn]

Decided to take the plunge and climb that learning curve in order to build out a few mods that I have been thinking about for Starfield.
The piece that I am looking at now is altering aspects of ship weapon appearance. I figure out how to pull up the NIF file into Nifskope, edit the resource strings to reference different materials, etc and all that seems to be working fine. But of course, the default weapon NIFs cannot be painted in the ship builder because they do not use the Primary/Secondary/Tertiary materials. I noticed that the Ship Colorize mod actually created brand new NIFs with different materials and then used LMSW's to replace the non-paintable materials with the Pri/Sec/Ter materials.
My question is - if one is going to create their own NIF's, why not directly use the Pri/Sec/Ter materials in the NIF? Or, use the vanilla NIF with a collection of custom LMSW forms to swap in paintable materials?
Is there some problem with putting paint-able materials directly into the NIF, or creating custom LMSW forms?

[twin atlas]

I have so much to do. Im currently working on Emporium part 2, on the asset collection side, already have 200 new items. I have my guides to update, both the building guide and the Npc replacer guide. Im thinking of handing off some ideas to have others develop guides for my new projects.

[strong oak]

Well some were made starting back in Sept 2023. Made Mods through this day. Then Converted them when Creations came online. So it seems bigger. Yes. Many could combine into a DLC sized mod. DerreTech verison 2.0 has been worked on for many months. Its close to publishing. Some good mods take months. Its not like snap its done - well it depends of course. LOL

[twin atlas]

Trust me, i know mods take time. Im reffering to authors who are releasing say new build items, heres 20 new items and tomorrow release another separate one to add 20 more items. Imagine if i released my Emporium Aio with a separate pack, 900 items spread out. It takes up users mod slots. My mistake when starting out was no body took the time to explain i needed to start with a full master and not change it as i updated. Had a pro took time to explain, the Emporium AIO would have just been 1 mod from the start. But lesson learned, part two is a full master from the start.

[strong oak]

Still to combine like 100 mods after the fact. That would be daunting in itself. LOL 👀

The mods, Avontech, Aerospace and DerreTech have the Full Master worked out - I like it - lots of stuff to play with in them. Separately yep it would take a lot of slots.

[west geode]

Will the slot limit with mods in Starfield be fixed/altered somewhere down the line?

[twin atlas]

i havent played the TA quest line, just been modding since ck release. but im finding a lot of things in ck that says the version of esm is newer than ck and cannot be edited, yet ck was released at same time. This limits the things we can change and the assets we can use without altering the cells.

Is there any mods where you can send companions to live in your house

@sharp lynx in your latest creation the water is toxic is that suppose to happen

[lavish flax]

Just the planet type but there's a patch by someone else I think to fix ut

[torpid badger]

i managed to make beams!

but the damage only happens on the initial hit.

need to work out if i can make it continuous damage

[plush elk]

Beam weapons would be pretty cool! (also looks awesome!)

[plush elk]

This looks epic!!!!

[sharp lynx]

Beans

[karmic slate]

@torpid badger what if you set the item to fire full auto via script so even though you have firing in "semi-auto" the game is reading it and doing damage as though it's in full auto. Doing it that way if possible should avoid issues with excessive recoil as well. 🤔

[torpid badger]

thanks for that 🙂
will have to learn how to do that though 🙂

saying that, will need to reduce the animation time of the beam as when the weapon is reloading, the beam is still firing

[dapper galleon]

What's that?

[rich remnant]

Howdy all I'm wondering for those who play on Xbox if yall encountered missing an issue where with mods you load a new save and city seems to have missing areas like example when I load a new game and make it thru Atlantis I see missing area where npc fall thru

I dont have any mods that edits cities either just npc enhance mods and armor mods with house mods and some weapons

I do have the big rocks and bigger tree mod and some density and Poi mods nothing that should edit them cities

[scenic shuttle]

how many mods installed?

[safe sorrel]

There’s a mod that changes the water on Hyla II to be safe, and that will make it no longer toxic

[twin atlas]

Is it possible to add container functions to packins?

[safe sorrel]

These are buildable, furnished habs for outposts, and the last photo is the empty version of the hab in the other photos. The mod is a modular Argos themed outpost you can build anywhere

[safe sorrel]

Yes as long as they’re not static, so no cool extra colors sadly

[twin atlas]

Do we add a keyword?

[rich remnant]

I got 5gigs

[scenic shuttle]

xbox starts running into issues when your mod count is over 100 mods. cells wont load properly, there are build issues, ship's can disappear. hopefully Bethesda will fix these issues in a future update.

[rich remnant]

I see I definitely have at least over 100 mods how can I see the count?

[obtuse blaze]

Thanks 😊

[safe sorrel]

Are you looking to make a custom container that looks different to the current options, or create an instanced static pack in that contains a working container?

[twin atlas]

I made lockers with opening doors and wanted to add the functionality of using it as a container.

[safe sorrel]

What I would do here is basically make an invisible container, to put in the locker. To do that duplicate and rename a container that currently exists, then edit the base object as follows…

If you want the whole front of the locker to be to be the trigger, change the nif to a static flat locker door like the Akila ones, and set it from “shows on local map” to “is marker” this will make the object invisible in the game, but the container trigger will still work

Then put the working visible locker door over the top

Then in game when someone opens the locker door, the trigger will be revealed and should pull up the same as normal

[strong beacon]

New player home just got released it is NICE! https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/953e8944-49d8-4255-a58c-9b74b8436653/The_Midas_Manor_Player_Home

[safe sorrel]

Oooo looks fancy

[limber current]

All i gotta say is wow. This is the most decorated compact player home I've ever seen. Besides tank girls mansion. This mod is amazing.

[safe sorrel]

Is all the clutter is pre-populated, and not cases you fill yourself?

[random hound]

"Starfield Together" coop mode would be great. The Skyrim Together people opened the source code https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/18dkxwu/starfield_together_will_no_longer_be_developed_by/

[limber current]

Pre populated. But it also has a lot of unique stuff that I believe is handcrafted. It adds 200 build able decorations and objects that are unique and that you can place inside your own outpost. The left picture is from a secret locker inside the place and the second one is a few things you can build I haven't built everything but there is a lot

Id definitely say to try it out and play with it. I was expecting just a player home but I wasn't expecting 200 buildable objects that we can place inside our own outpost/ships 😅

[peak light]

Can someone point me in the direction of getting help installing the Starfield CK so I can try to make some mods?

This is just a small mod to make any piece of furniture a work bench, so people can create custom workbenches at they’re own outposts like the ones I’ve been adding to my player homes and upcoming hab mods

Also add some crew station mats so you can add crew anywhere in an outpost without having to add furniture that might not fit your decor

Hey Tank Girl, mind helping me with something? Got a quest, working with actors. But not with activators (wall screen). What is the difference between the two to make a dialogue work? Pressing the activator and run a script works, dialogue does not apear.

[sharp lynx]

I'd need to understand what you are trying to do and where you are putting the pyrus functions

off the top of my head "it's better to run scripts off set stage" then dialogue initiated.

for me it seemed spotty when compiling from the dialogue tree

[random hound]

got the pyrus script in the activator. pretty nooby here.

[sharp lynx]

activators are usually the best way to go lol

if you do dialogue initiated I recommend having a set stage condition in the specific dialogue line and then put the script function in the set stage area

example: have the line set the quest stage to 10
then in the quest stage tab put the pyrus function there in papyrus fragment

rather than in the conversation tree

"scenes"

[random hound]

no papyrus in scenes. papyrus in activator, set the stage to 10. dialogue does initiatlize if i attached it to an actor and have condition actor .... = 1. but n ot with alias activator and condition activator ==1, if that makes sense? (currently watching a tutorial vidd)

adding a script to activated with a quest variable and not using the drop-down menu to choose the questname might be the problem?

myquest.setactive() instead of .start() might be another issue.

"on start game enable" should not be clicked according to vid

will go thought everything tomorrow and see if it works. https://youtu.be/HlZB8brE9oY

[safe sorrel]

Y’all once again I’m asking for help with another weird issue. The furniture in my current habs sometimes work fine, other times is giving me the “cannot use furniture is obstructed” error.

It’s sometimes having another hab linked to it opening a door will cause it, sometimes it’s fine then decides it’s not without anything changing.

Don’t suppose anyone has any idea what could be causing this to happen? It happens even if it it’s in a wide open space with zero obstructions.

[strong oak]

I tried to download the above Midas home mod and Nexus died - like error paged. 😂 I think it is popular but likely too many downloads across Nexus at one time.

[strong oak]

Not a mod maker - but players know this happens - when under the structure - the creations is applying object under your mod. Like if near ocean it decides it want s larger coral, on land boulders and trees, etc.

[safe sorrel]

Wouldn’t that also affect regular habs?

[strong oak]

Yes

Tank_Girl444 must have a solution.

[safe sorrel]

I have been wondering if it was from outside, but different habs of the same shape and size don’t have the issue in the same spot

Had tried building on a barren moon and still have to issue. So it’s definitely a possibility, but also happening in situations without obstructions that could spawn

Maybe it’s something to do with the enclosed structure keyword not being applied properly somehow

[strong oak]

So the classic example has been. Seen on Vids. You go to land someplace and your ship lands far off spot. Examining the Vids. The Creation had not created the landing pad first as you approach so it locates where you ship can land and puts you there - then the pad is generated. Its the same principle. I put a Hab down. Like a week later a tree is gowning through the floor. Same Principle of creations/Starfield engine at play.

[safe sorrel]

I’ve had that happen, but even with a tree growing through the hab, furniture still works

That could very well be a part of it, but there still seems to be something unique to the custom habs that would be mKing them more sensitive somehow

[strong oak]

I would agree to that. So Tank_Girl444 must know what is missing. Its probably a single programming line someplace. LOL If it was mod overwrite - you would not find it to place the thing/object. Too many objects and you get mesh flickering - I have seen that plenty times.

[safe sorrel]

My initial thinking was too much complexity in the hab causing issues, kinda like how the blueprints in FO76 can almost never be placed because it struggles to load things in in the right order

But then it was happening with just an empty hab, which has little complexity (still not writing that theory off yet though I think it’s part of it maybe)

[safe sorrel]

Ha accurate!

[strong oak]

Oh Inquisitor tried to get his Watch of the Stars mod to convert for Creations. No idea of course how many times. But others just converted with minor changes. Then like last week, or so, it just Processed and is now on Creations. Your image is appropriate for this mod. 🤣

[torpid badger]

im trying different animation nif art files for the beam animation.

would anyone know why the beams are going everywhere? (i like the look of this one best but its behaving weird)

[hushed lagoon]

does it have something to do with weapon accuracy?

...probably not since the impact point seems to be dead center...

[torpid badger]

the impact points are ok, other art nifs seem to be fine, just this particular one

[jovial nymph]

Hi, new to the channel and the Creation Kit, I have for the past couple of days (unsuccessfully) been trying to create a very small modification, I want a Solid Storage Building that only holds one type of Solid (in this cast, testing with Iron). I have tried duplicating the current smallsolid storage building, and trying to duplicate all theo ther things that seem to be needed for an "object" to exist, changed the filter variables, created a new keyword (no idea what that even does since there doesnt seem to be any code behind the keywords), but when I go back into my game, no new option is available in the build menue for my outpost. Has anyone done anything like this that would be happy to share how or what steps they took. I want to try to fix one of my biggest gripes with storage (no, not to just keep making them hold more), and that is the uneven consumption and following log jam problem when linked storage gets filled with less used resources. That or how could I add a selector interface to a storage unit, like we have on the production buildings so that you could choose what the storage (gas, solid, or liquid) would hold. thanks for any help.

[strong oak]

That Midas Manor is so detailed. I noticed it had two full sets of Workstations. Even has a Christmas tree setup in one locker. The Terminal to look up bounty tasks - had everything I needed and then some. The description matched what I experienced. So far no issues. I wonder what else the author will come up with. I also had never ever noticed the elevators to the right before, but there they are.

[marble otter]

Are there things you can't automate with the food and med manufacturing mods? Not seeing some of the supplies needed for some things

[strong oak]

The supplies need to be collected. What are you mentioning this about ?

[marble otter]

Well if i wanted to make pancea automatically with the manufacturing mod, id have to create some of the stuff. At that point, the mod becomes useless to me. Might as well just use the bench anyways

[strong oak]

Ah - In order to use them at workbench you need to research them or they won't show in Workbench. SO yes it is work.

[marble otter]

I see them at the bench, just not the manufacturing machine the mod puts in.

[strong oak]

Explain

[sharp lynx]

meat bag

[marble otter]

Ok. I have a mod to create more med supplies at the bench. There's another mod though that adds machines to the outpost Manufacturing mechanics. Food and medical machines. Some things for things you want it to produce can't be produced by the machines. I can make the lesser stuff at the bench. But it makes the Manufacturing machines less useful

[strong oak]

You are running into overlapping mods. One mod to affect the Manufacturing machine. adding more in the category can cause issues. you are describing.

[marble otter]

So if i take off the one to make stuff at the bench, the machines will have more options?

[strong oak]

Possibly, or change the load order, its an experimental thing.

[marble otter]

Ill give it a shot

Thanks

[safe sorrel]

Can this meat bag ask you a likely dumb question?

Having a problem with furniture on my custom habs becoming “obstructed” despite them being in wide open spaces, and it’s super inconsistent, one moment they work, the next they don’t

Is there something blindingly obvious I’m missing because nothing I do seems to help with them

[sharp lynx]

I'll need some more details. Is this.... general furniture or furniture within a pre-generated hab? is this for outposts or ships? where did you add the furniture is it in the instance static or the CO of that static? I assume these are for outposts

[safe sorrel]

Yes outposts, and its building furniture in them through the in game build menu, though items place in the CK have the same issue. Work one min not the other

And and the habs are altered versions of the vanilla ones to be different shapes etc. so primarily duplicate and edited

I’ll place say a chair, sometimes I can sit it sometimes I can’t sometimes nothing has changed apart from the obstruction

Or something likely unrelated like a snapping connection added to the hab but not near the chair (which may be coincidence)

[marble otter]

Nope, that wasn't the problem. Looked more at the mod details. Some items just aren't on the Manufacturing panel. Bit of a bummer. Least the bench works

[jovial nymph]

what is needed to add a new item to the outpost build list/menu in game?

[tacit tapir]

Categorize the object as Constructible and create a Decor form

[safe sorrel]

If you look at the top of the CK under gameplay you should see “recipe manager” if you take a look at some of the constructable objects in there you should see how things need to be filled out to work with the section you want to add your item to

[tacit tapir]

Navmesh may not exist. This is necessary to be able to build and use the objects.

[safe sorrel]

Tried adding that and still had the same issue

[sharp lynx]

I'll DM you the fix

back lol

[safe sorrel]

Ha thanks and sorry to bother you,

[sharp lynx]

you never bother me

[strong oak]

Bethesda needs to add a parameter to the Outpost Beacon. That tells the engine to not popuplate more objects in the radius of the Outpost Beacon. That would stop some of this need to shift things around or Trees growing through the Outpost habs and Ship Builders and such. Just a thought.

[sharp lynx]

Reddit bothers me

[safe sorrel]

Ha

Bother does seem to be its primary purpose

[torpid badger]

is there a way to previous sounds in CK?

or do you have to extract them and listen to them?

[sharp lynx]

misinform and generate negativity, but I digress LOL

[jovial nymph]

so it shows up in the list for outpost storage:

[safe sorrel]

Is it not showing up in the game still?

[jovial nymph]

no,

[strong oak]

Which mod is that Manufacturing machine ?

[jovial nymph]

so i have been basically trying to copy everything from the regular Outpost_Storage_Solid_01 but changing the storage filter to only allow Iron, but cant get the thing to even show up in the game when i open the outpost build

[strong oak]

ohh

[sharp lynx]

America

people be making a lot of player homes....

[strong oak]

You can make flat windows. Why cant flat windows be made for Spaceships ? Things I ponder. The only three I know of poke outwards.

[sharp lynx]

time to raise the anti lol

you can make flat windows for spaceships you just need to make a have that fits that

considering that ships show interior and exterior its hard to juggle that. my suggestion would be to make new habs as shells large enough to fit box habs without making box ships

[strong oak]

It would be good if you could get ahold of 0xDezzy he made a manufacturing device that imports raw material into them. Would sgtsplat be able to look inside that mod and figure out how OxDezzy handled that process ? just wondering

I am referring to: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/6212?tab=files

[summer plank]

i wonder if you can fuse the interior and exterior so that it just loads as one and no loading when exiting the ship? 🤔 removing the loading doors too you think itll work?

[plush elk]

Dose anyone use the mod "Crafting Vacuum Tape to Adhesive" it says you can use "skills" to improve crafting ratio. What skills are they refering to?

[sharp lynx]

that's totally doable

[torpid badger]

Im still having problems with this if anyone else has any ideas?

the impact point is correct, it is only effecting 1 nif, all others are ok - Effects\WeaponFX\ParticleFuseBeam01.nif

i had a look at the nif using nifskope, and i cant see where it cause it to go everywhere, it looks straight in the nif

[strong beacon]

Same about the elevators 😂 just walked on by em every time it's brilliant looking forward to more content from the author by far best player home

[frigid ether]

anybody know how to create custom terminals/consoles in creation kit?

[strong oak]

Its referring to research. The higher your research level the less tape it takes to adhere the adhesive. So no research is 5 tapes to 1 adhesive. But if you are topped out - it is 2 tapes to 1 adhesive. That's it.

Basically tape is useless in the game. This gives it some functionality <shrug> but nothing to use it on still.

[plush elk]

Oh I see! thank you.

[random hound]

I test it in the same directory as i create the mod, so i do not need a ba2 files until i export it to another pc, because some stuff worked even before creating ba2. i did create a ba2 file once, maybe updating it helps. another potential thing on the list of things to check/do

[fast magnet]

Looking for help, where can I find the setting that controls the number of digits for ship price? It is set to 6 digits and I want to change that to allow ship prices in the millions.

[zinc sand]

So, checking the search function real fast, it looks like the Papyrus reference for Starfield hasn't been made public yet? Or did I miss something?

[alpine gate]

The Vanguard skin also works on any UC Marine space helmet variants.

[lethal silo]

Are you talking about the wiki?

I made a spreadsheet of all of the functions from all of the available source scripts from CK

[zinc sand]

Yes, I am. I am trying to set up an injector script for ships into the leveled list and it is not quite working the way I expected.

Pretty sure I am just missing something.

[lethal silo]

I’ll try to upload my sheet today. May help though it’s not very verbose and doesn’t have examples for the functions but does have whatever code comments were available.

[zinc sand]

That would be awesome. I am looking through the source scripts as well but I still feel like I am missing something. Maybe looking at it a different way will shake something loose.

[torpid badger]

Could the issue in this video be related to the nif?

in the nif, the beam end is at 90deg different to the beam?

i had a look at other beams and they were all aligned.

to change the upright line, how do you align it with the yellow one?

[lethal silo]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-sBo0WbqtlqfqgGUhNO6HSnL9Pe8_zMSPlzmcHla08Y/edit?usp=sharing

lmk if you make any progress, interested in what you are working on.

[zinc sand]

Will do. Its an update to Starfield Fleet Expansion to hopefully conflict with others a bit less. Not many are trying to add ships spawns yet but its bound to happen.

[lethal silo]

Nice, I've been trying to figure out dynamic ship spawns that relate to character lvl and inputs from quest progression.

[zinc sand]

A number of the existing ship lander spawns include conditions based on location keyword, and I know I saw quest stage as one of the condition types. So it should be doable.

[lethal silo]

I'll keep this doc updated as DLCs come out and and the source scripts become available for CK. I won't be purchasing creation content though :p

[dapper galleon]

Well I'm off to bed but yea Can't play starfeild anymore

I went as far as deleting the games entire data so now I'll have to start from scratch again

If it ever gets to the start menu

[alpine gate]

I was wondering if any mod authors could create an artifact storage crate for all artifact pieces so no Starborns would track any of us down. Some reason, it could get annoying for any of us, and our ships and inventories couldn’t hold it anymore. This would become a pain.

And there has to be a way to break the transfer lock for the artifacts.

[cold vault]

I'm sorry to hear you are still having issues getting the game going. However, you will have better luck reaching out to the community in the proper channels. If you haven't posted in #1146517559340978276 yet you may want to try there.

[zinc sand]

Has anyone had any luck with the .addForm function on a LeveledSpaceshipBase? Even dumping everything else off the target list, nothing seems to add to the list and it just defaults to base Ramblers.

[trail dagger]

I have an idea for a mod to be made. (I would try to do it myself, but my laptop is a bit obsolete.)
Basically, it's to allow the various vending machines already in the vanilla game to be built at your outposts/player homes.
Thanks!

[safe sorrel]

I believe that mod already exists

[trail dagger]

Oh ok. Thanks again.

[lyric bear]

I've had this happen to me a lot the past couple days. In my case, it's the mods. Specifically, I had to delete the local reserved space and files on my xbox console for Starfield (did not have to delete the game). This allowed me to get back into the game, then I downloaded some mods back in, and it works now. I had some other issues with a questline and floors disappearing in Neon, but eventually worked that out.

[dapper galleon]

That didn't stop it, it still doing it

[outer plover]

@frosty basin a wip from earlier today but you get my meaning with what I’ll be going for in #starfield-lore

[frosty basin]

Well yes. I already said that I get it. Its just my opinion, and you did ask so ... 🙂

My bad I’m out of it

[frosty basin]

Not at all, I'm sure that plenty of folk would love it.

Magshot is just the Pipe Pistol in disguise, change my mind.

[amber sparrow]

I won't change your mind because that's honestly funnier

[hoary lava]

I'm hilarious, what can I say?

[round dawn]

I've started the plunge on creating a mod that is adding new ship parts as part of its feature set. Been banging my head, repeatedly, against various quirks in CK (emissives are just weird - they want to display as yellow unless one pushes the hue far away from yellow), but I've got the first round of changes working as far as I can tell.
The polishing touch is to get icons displayed for the modules in the ship builder and also a logo for my custom manufacturer. It looks like the vanilla Ship Builder UI associates PKIN forms to icons via files dropped into the Data\Textures\Interface\ShipBuilderIcons folder named <FormID>cl.dds (one can find them in the "Starfield - Generated Textures.ba2" file). Problem is I cannot figure out how to make that work for PKINs from a mod as the FormID changes depending on load order. Has anyone else looked into this? Any thoughts on an approach?
Also wanted to get a logo for my custom manufacturer displayed in the module info card, but it kinda looks like the mapping of manufacturer to logo is hard coded in the Logo-Manufacturer script found in the various spaceshipbuildermenu.swf files.

EDIT - finally found the manufacturer logos - and they are indeed baked into the SWF files. In the spaceshipeditormenu_assetlibrary2.swf file they are sprites 369 through 417 and the references to each logo are in fact hard coded into the Logo-Manufacturer script... Sigh... Boo, Bethesda! What a short-sited way to implement that...

[safe sorrel]

Sorry to hear that, hope you’re doing ok, and able to leave soon

[jovial nymph]

Eureka!!!! i did it, I have figured out how to make an outpost storage container resource specific. This is going to change completely how I build my base for automated manufacturing. While most of the "increase storage size" mods are not what I am looking for, I am going to mess with the transfer unit to make it's storage a little bigger. This wont fix resource unbalance for common stuff, but will be great for one stop drop and sort of the multitude of random resources you find out exploring.

what would be better, but probably much harder, would be to add the selection functionality you have with the builders to the storage buildings so you could just build one type of solid storage, then set the resource filter like you do when manufacturing

because with my brute force method, i am going to have to make a varient storage container for each resource, ugh

[twin atlas]

How do we move entire packins in CK, without individually repositioning all 54 items? I pressed W and tried the stupid click hold, yet the thing wont stand straight.

There's a mod missing from creations long range dockers

[torpid badger]

would anyone know why the beams are going everywhere?

the impact points are right, the beams are going in random directions.

when using other arf files (nif) in the projectile, they work as expected, just this one particular one does not work.

any ideas?

So some reason my creation kit isn’t picking up an esp or esm files as in shows that there isn’t any ?

Any ideas or help?

[glacial cloak]

If I wanted to change up my L.O would I do it before stepping into the unity or stepping out of the unity?

[stray cloak]

Not 100% certain but I want to say after stepping out of the unity. In my personal experience some of my mods worked better after I took the plunge into a new universe. It’s almost like starting a new game where you have a chance to try things anew where much of the game has been cleared and reset which should make it less problematic to change things around in your own LO. I would try to read all the mod descriptions to see if the authors put any caveats to their mods because I don’t know if it might affect perk overhauls and whatnot so it might slightly depend on what mods you have.

[mortal tundra]

@glacial cloak @stray cloak I would respectfully disagree, that you'd do it the other way around.

Right before you step through make two saves -- your "dirty save" is all mods you use

your "clean save" is all mods disabled/removed
THEN step through unity

Notable exceptions would be things that have an effect -- Take Items Through Unity, Choose your Variant Universe, SKK Fast Start -- these three would only really function "as you pass through"

Then once you've established what you want for this universe, make another new, clean (ish) save, and then start adding mods back in, and tweaking load order.

Load order however is pretty darn safe to change mid-save -- it's the presence or absence of the mod that affects the save, rather than the order.

[lyric finch]

Heyo people, can someone see if it's possible to add a mandalorian Westar 34 blaster pistol as a standalone weapon via mod on Xbox? Not looking for replaces just adding it as a new weapon if possible

[mortal tundra]

My load order is :
Beth/Paid Mods
Community Patch
Housing mods
Texture mods -- clothing, weapons etc
ShipMods

Then I start in on my "VIP Mods"
For me Darkstar suite goes here

Then I start on things that have known or likely overrides
Things like hide empty habs, or improved follower behavior, or changes to skills

Then finally I load things that I KNOW are overrides, and WANT them to be the "winners" of any conflict
All the ZeeOgre mods

Remember that the "last load wins" always

[dapper galleon]

I'm thinking of getting a base cooling fan fory series x

[strong beacon]

How do you group buildables together in the CK so you cycle through variants?

[safe sorrel]

If you put the items you want to make in a list, and link the constructable object in the build menu to the list, then check the “contains variants” box next to the field where you input the list, that should do it

If that makes any sense at all

[strong beacon]

It does have the check mark in it but not working for some reason

anything else missing?

[safe sorrel]

Weird, that should do it

[strong beacon]

trying it now thank you btw for helping 🙂

Does having a priority number do anything?

[safe sorrel]

Maybe but I don’t normally have the mess with it

Let me boot up the CK and have a look…

[strong beacon]

Thank you

[safe sorrel]

If anything has the same name, that might mess it up, I’ve done that a few times if I was duplicating and editing things

[strong beacon]

similiar same name? Or like shelf 1 and shelf 2 is fine?

[safe sorrel]

That should be fine, it’s only perfectly identical ones that should be jerks

[strong beacon]

Gotcha no identical names everything is in the buildable menu list I just cant get them to work as variants

[safe sorrel]

All my variants have the same resources to make, but I don’t think that should matter

[strong beacon]

be able to send me a snap of your options so I can compare?

[safe sorrel]

Sure but I’ll warn you it’s probably gonna be a crappy phone photo

[strong beacon]

all good haha XD

[safe sorrel]

So this is one of my current lists

[strong beacon]

Testing now Thank you will be back if it helps 😄

[safe sorrel]

Fingers crossed!

[strong beacon]

Still not working sadly objects still appearing in the list of buildables seperately

[strong beacon]

Followed same steps as you but they still seperate I think I am cursed haha

[safe sorrel]

For real I believe there is a ghost that haunts the CK because it’s weird what will and won’t work

[strong beacon]

Its working I am an idiot haha XD I accidentally made a copy of my ESP was loading up wrong mod like a numpty

[safe sorrel]

You might be able to sort them in the recipe manager

[strong beacon]

Deffo a ghost in there though

[strong beacon]

Thanks for your help Miss 😄 Got it

[safe sorrel]

You did!? Sweet!

[dapper galleon]

So am I going crazy or are these supposed to attach. Alot of matlija stuff is showing red when connecting

[limber current]

They are supposed to. If I'm not mistaken he has explained how to in a video from 2 months ago https://youtube.com/@matilija?si=jcW7fnc6FXtjpzrp that's his channel if you want to check it out i dont remember when he said it but i do know he did and i believe he also mentioned a mod to download that helps with attaching stuff

[strong oak]

That cargo lift - it opens Downward to the landing pad. It can attach on its side. or to the bottom of a hab. The red looks correct as you have it.

like drive a cart onto it and it lifts up that into the hab. upon landing it drops to the landing pad.

A good way to invite heatleeches to be honest.

[limber ridge]

Idk how to start this, so here it is plainly,
I got an idea for a mod, however I have no idea where to start.
For anyone who's played outriders, I wanted to put the auto looting machinc/function into star feild. I can't tell tou how many tomes i go back into a faciltiy or building after cleaning the place out, just to find more things right after comming back.

Awesome! Thank you!

That's pretty sweet!

[sharp lynx]

That's just one

[dry coral]

Nice! I can't wait lol

[limber current]

I've been seeing your work on reddit and you have inspired me to start outpost building again. I really love how you connected the landing pad with the crate building kit. It's very unique. I hope you keep sharing your progress 🔥

[dry coral]

Thank you! I owe it all to BetaMax76, his kit made it pretty easy.

Miss_o's internal wall kit also make building my armory and power plant security barrier unique as well

This is the flythough of my operations center

[sharp lynx]

What kinda buildings would you want if you could pick any

[dry coral]

I love ultra-modern like the dream home myself

[limber current]

So beautiful man and. I agree miss_o's walls are definitely such a good thing to have. I also use TG's luxury homes mod because it has a tree with a lantern and it also has a gazebo that's nice for viewing sunset's/sunrises

[torpid badger]

yeah i like the dream home / vlads pad type

as to me feels in universe

[sharp lynx]

It also has the dream home and vlads villa

V II will have Wagner Farms house

I think I'll include the barn too

[dry coral]

Very nice!

[limber current]

That's how I was able to take these pics. I forget what planet it is. But I used your Vlads villa and it came out so nicely

[sharp lynx]

There's a few surprises in this one

I love it! Always happy to see what people do with stuff

[eager ether]

Like the idea

I don’t know either how ever as a suggestion

Maybe look into command prompts cause you need to use a prompt to pick something up so In theory

Could apply to a wide area with bit of tweaking

[limber ridge]

I was thinking something simuler to shade imersive looting, press a separate imput that would loot the item your looking at and everything lootable in I'd say 20 or 50 meter radius indoors, and maybe something 100 or 200 outdoors. I'm not familiar with distance in starfeild as much as I should so those numbers probably sound ridicules

[torpid badger]

Woooooooooooot

I finally got the beam working 😄

I just need to fix the muzzle flash, why it is not showing in the dropdown list i dont know...

[safe sorrel]

Pew pew!!

[limber ridge]

[pseudo comet]

@surreal storm hey I bought your mod Pocket Dimension in creations. It’s really awesome. I don’t know why after I leave the pocket dimension why I still shimmer every 20 seconds…is this a bug? I tried restarting the game and everything but it always makes my character start shimmering with like that stary effect. Is there a fix for this?

[teal wedge]

Another day hospitalized. Almost at two week but I’m hanging in there

[surreal storm]

It happens if you leave the playable area inside the dimension or enter/leave too often. I have a fix ready, but it's going to be a while until Bethesda approves it. Thanks for playing and letting me know! Oh, and it stops shimmering after a while you just have to wait

[pseudo comet]

@surreal storm Ok thanks so much! lol if you build more pocket dimensions I’ll def buy lol they are so cool I feel sorta like a Starborn God lol. 🙏🏾😭

[surreal storm]

I am planning to add a second one for free, but first I'll need to finish that to do list on the creation page

[red briar]

Just wow! 🥰😁😊😊

[west geode]

Maybe some Grecian style stuff or a Japanese style home

[west geode]

Nice!

[sharp lynx]

Edo/Imperial style Japanese buildings are on my list, it just required some research first lol

I'll be making custom assets for that pack too

[thick plaza]

Mod authors please update the crosshair for your weapons before you export your mod to a .esm. I bought 3 weapon mods without a crosshair. It's a easy fix.

[dry coral]

One of my biggest QoL improvment wishes for outpost building? More parts that snap together.

I spend a lot of (frustrating) time aligning parts with a controller 😄

[dry coral]

Also: "your foundation is too tall" and collision boxes need a rework.

[limber current]

I agree. Hopefully we get a place everywhere mod just like in FO4

[dry coral]

I think I'm going to redo that barrier. I just experimented with aligning those parts another way and they blend together nicely. Getting them straight and the proper length will be the challenge lol

I wish the beams were the same height as the walls though

But I'm mixing hab and ship parts here

[subtle jungle]

So, maybe a loaded question-
Which is the preferred mod, for console, that expands on Outposts? Wanting to build a small town using Tankgirl's Luxury Homes, but finding the space to save for decorating and other various stuff is proving difficult without downsizing. Lol.

[dry coral]

I've been using EVANSY's Outpost limits increased for quite a while now.

[subtle jungle]

It's been fairly stable? It was the first one I considered, but I was reading somewhere that pushing the Outpost build radius beyond 250 was problematic. EVANSY's pushes it to 350 iirc.

[dry coral]

I've never had any issues with it. However, I'm not cramming every square inch with structures either lol.

[subtle jungle]

🤔

I think I'll give that one a try then.

[rapid cobalt]

Hi everyone. I‘m a newbie at modding and hope you guys can help me out. I‘ve already asked elsewhere but didn’t get a solution.

I created a mod containing new ship habs, the figurehead would be a 3x3x2 swimming pool hab. While making mistakes and learning from them is a daily thing for me there‘s one thing I am still unable to fix:
The water texture bugs out when in space. It seems like it changes from „cell bound“ to „player bound“ and follows the player movement as soon as you take off instead of simply staying in place.
It‘s not related to my mod since it does the same when placing water via console in a vanilla hab.
Is there any way to change that, tie it to a marker or anything?
Anyone here with an idea or workaround would make my day

[timid temple]

try tying it to the ShipModuleTrigger?

In Linked Ref tab, set it so that type is LinkShipModule with the reference pointer of ShipModuleTrigger

[rapid cobalt]

One of the first things I tried but unfortunately doesn‘t help

[timid temple]

oof, then I'm clean out of ideas. Someone else has done a pool hab I think, you could try DMing them?

[rapid cobalt]

Really? Thought I was the first one. I already had it released but took it down because of problems

[mortal tundra]

@subtle jungle call me biased, but ZeeOgre's sets it at the flycam limit of 250 😄

[dry coral]

@rapid cobalt Tank Girl has done pools.

[earnest tangle]

I can't seem to find the modder who made the awesome old earth weapons mod, I just had a suggestion for what they could add to it.
I was attempting the a similar thing but only with rifles. I wanna say it was bud or bub something

[rapid cobalt]

But not as a ship module or did I miss that?

[dry coral]

Ah, sorry. I missed that.

[rapid cobalt]

No problem, but that’s the thing. It‘s perfectly fine when landed. But as soon as you take off it bugs out.
I‘ve tried all I could imagine but I‘m still hoping there‘s a little thing I missed.
I even reported it to Bethesda Support and they requested a video. But haven‘t heard anything since I sent it

[sharp lynx]

A ship module wouldn't be any different

I guess you're having the water bug image space issue

@rapid cobalt

[subtle jungle]

LOL. Fair. Fair. 😂 yours was the alternative, actually. I was flipping between the ZeeOgre Tweaks and EVANSY's. The Evansy's description states increased build budget, but 350 radius. Your ZeeOgre that's available has that sweet 250 Radius, but description said budget wasn't working. The budget is what I'm currently after so I can decorate my small town. 😅 (Unless I misremembered about the budget increase from your mod. I'm not at the console atm.)

[sharp lynx]

[subtle jungle]

Ma'am. You are the root of my pains. Those sweet sweet Luxury Homes and my insatiable greed to use more than just a couple in one Outpost. 😎

Honestly. One of my favorites for Outpost population.

[sharp lynx]

Why thank you ❤️

[subtle jungle]

Population? Design? Whichever word works.

[sharp lynx]

Volume II is near complete

would you like a sneak peak

[subtle jungle]

👀👀

You have to ask? Lol

[sharp lynx]

I call this one "The American Dream."

[subtle jungle]

[limber current]

Woah that looks like something out of the sims 😅

[subtle jungle]

Absolutely fitting name.

[sharp lynx]

I'm up to 25 buildings so far

a mix of modern and 21st century post-modern

[subtle jungle]

Dude. You're not the hero we deserve, but definitely the one we need. I'm one of the few people who actually enjoyed settlement building in FO4, so I've been hungry for Outpost development/building.

[sharp lynx]

Oh 100%

[subtle jungle]

Wait, that comes across like an insult after reading it back...

[sharp lynx]

I love building!

[subtle jungle]

Same! I'm so invested in it.

[sharp lynx]

Sadly I can't with the snap system. it's way too bothersome and feel it's better to just give out whole buildings

[mortal tundra]

Evansy'

s MIGHT still work, but i released mine after they stopped allowing .ini file distribution with the mods from CK

so I can't shut it off on the Creations store, and if Evansy does an update, it will PROBABLY break it.

[subtle jungle]

Yeah, for "outposts" the snap system isn't too bad. If going for the science research vibe, but the whole buildings approach definitely works to satisfy settlement style Outpost builds for sure.

[mortal tundra]

been experimenting to come up with a workaround

I have a pretty good set of snap/builder overrides in my ini file, that, of course, I can't distribute any more because of June 8 😄

[subtle jungle]

I'm just in a hot spot where I've got this amazing settlement laid out, but I can't populate it with decor unless I sacrifice some buildings. So I've been patient in trying to figure out what the best Outpost Adjustment mod is because I have read that radius beyond 250 can make outposts janky or break them, but I'm hurting for that build budget. I may just have to downsize my town.

[mortal tundra]

so you CAN go out to whatever arbitrary limit you want.

BUT, unless you run something like my "denser outposts" you gonna have a real bad time with power -- heck even mine, you really want it still.

Generators have a 300 meter "power radiation" setting by defauly

[sharp lynx]

there's a script command mod that cuts the limit too

it's probably still on Nexus

[mortal tundra]

Oh yeah.. i've been trying to run it on entering the outpost -- target the beacon, setav 399 0

[sharp lynx]

yea that one

[mortal tundra]

but on xbox is nein goot...

[sharp lynx]

IDEA

make a switch activator that runs the command

[mortal tundra]

i'll try it

[sharp lynx]

use a quest and set the beacon as an alis

[mortal tundra]

my current thing i'm trying to do is just run it every time you enter the outpost

[sharp lynx]

or that

[mortal tundra]

with an onlocationchange hook 😄

[sharp lynx]

that's probably easier

[mortal tundra]

no muss no fuss 🙂

[subtle jungle]

Absolutely heroes. You guys.

[sharp lynx]

listen I like me switches

[mortal tundra]

and you use them well! 🙂

[sharp lynx]

❤️

I forget I can code

[mortal tundra]

OK.. but back to your question @subtle jungle aside from the flycam weirdness (which means like half of your physical area has to be 1st person placement ---ewwww), then if you're using vanilla generators, let's say you only put windmills on the north side -- everything on the south side gets no power, and you're there making rageface at why in the heck not!

so i tweaked all the generators to 5x power and 500 meter radius in mine...

[earnest tangle]

Thanks

[subtle jungle]

Yeah. I'm thinking what I can do is grab yours. Redo my settlement layout and try to simply rest another Outpost right on the first one's line. Technically two Outpost, but so close together they blend into one settlement. 🤔

[sharp lynx]

nuke it from orbit

[mortal tundra]

i've been distracted by another tool i'm building to get some modicum of at least semi-automated version control in place, and as soon as i'm done with that, I'll go back and finish NIFO and EasyButton, and then back onto OutpostTweaks, with both of them added in as well.

i have a LOT of work to do to make it work on xbox tho...

[sharp lynx]

you got this Z

[subtle jungle]

^

[mortal tundra]

NIFO is great on PC, but relies on a console command that can't run from stock papyrus

I'll get it :)... eventually :D... I got repair button after all!

[subtle jungle]

I'm in no rush, my dude. Plus, when Expansions and other free updates come out I know things will change. Plus + I know making things work properly on Xbox can be wonky. I helped do Xbox testing for Skyrim and FO4 groups back in the day when I had free time. Had a whole extra Xbox One just for mod testing. 😂

[mortal tundra]

niiiiice

[subtle jungle]

So no stress, man. You do this stuff in your free time. You take as long as you want or need. 🤘

[mortal tundra]

if i ever get into VC, maybe i'll make enough to buy a testing xbox and new copy of SF 😄

But looking at my DL counts... yeah... I might get a cup of coffee... if it's plain...
at mcdonalds...
and small...

[rapid cobalt]

Sorry but what is the water bug image space issue?

[subtle jungle]

Hey man, tbf verified mods get pushed to the top. For example, my "Latest" tab still prioritizes even older verified creator creations first. So that could still help you out. 🤘

[mortal tundra]

🙂

[hollow salmon]

@mortal tundra hey what's up? want to see my new ship I build?

[mortal tundra]

Always!.. but gotta go start up Dad's Taxi in a minute, so it'll be a little bit before I see it 🙂

[hollow salmon]

My new ship build

In English Black Falcon

Let me know what you think

This where the cockpit is

[mint heart]

can you install Starvivle mid save? i havent left the mining area yet or met barrett so i'm curious

[torpid badger]

yeah its damn annoying having to reset that all the time

if you seen in the beam test vid its not there, id better remember before i release it though

otherwise you can get a 12 inch rubber dildo and slap me across the back of the head with it...

Speaking of Crosshairs

What are peoples fav?

1. None
2. Dot
3. Pistol
4. Shotgun
5. Rifle
6. Laser
7. Cutter

I currently use the laser one, debating weather to change it or not?

[dry coral]

@limber current I decided to add one last piece of infrastructure to the base, a ship's office. I was lucky enough to have it attach to the pad flush with the surface.

[limber current]

Woah I forgot you could even do that with outpost pieces. That's pretty sick. By the time you are done with that outpost you are probably gonna have the most unique looking outpost on Xbox. A mod I recommend using if you want more decorations is the Midas Player Home it adds 210 buildable Objects to the decorations menu and it has allt of unique pieces that you won't find anywhere else @dry coral

[dry coral]

Nice! I was thinking of looking into that tomorrow to see what I can snag. I'm just waiting for TG's vol II to drop and then I can build my mansion on the hill as it were lol

[sharp lynx]

opinions needed

[subtle jungle]

🤔

[strong oak]

I use 5 for long distance only. I use modified weapons (there are a lot) by Inquisitor for everything else.

[torpid badger]

tnx for that

More space yacht stuff

i have an idea for a starfield mod, but I dunno hot to create it.
i hate the fact that u can use powers everywhere and no one notices it. i think it would be cool if sometimes people said something about it.

[scenic shuttle]

[lost grove]

Anyone else a bit let down by mods on Xbox? I did ten universes, got all the Starborn powers maxed, and said okay, I'm basically done with the base game, now I'm gonna hard save in Universe 10, download all the mods I've been bookmarking, jump to a new universe, activate said mods, and enjoy mods until Shattered Space comes out... and I get crashes, a lot of them don't work (so you gotta reload and disable, with the long load times it's kind of hard to diagnose which mods are straight up broken, which ones don't work, etc.). I think with most of the modding focus being on PC, it's always gonna be an uphill battle. I would hope that at least the verified, or at the very least the paid mods wouldn't have these issues, but I'm not confident they don't.

I will say one that I have had luck with is the Darkstar stuff. Despite what they say, it is cheaty as hell though, because at my level (180), the guns I find in the Lodge basement are Vile (or some other Darkstar rating) so they're worth like 50k each. Universe 11 gave me a Big Bang and a Pacifier, both worth 50-60k, so with those plus the UC sign-on bonus of 25k, I can pretty much get set up with some great gear before leaving New Atlantis. Not knocking the mod, it definitely seems like it will take some time to grind out all the research. Honestly wish I had this one from the start (which was a week before public launch, long before we had mods). And the ship they give you is nice looking, but doesn't include crafting tables, for as big as it seems to be.

Unfortunately Praxis UI doesn't start at all. I wondered why StarUI wasn't one of the first mods ported to Xbox when the floodgates opened, now I see why. Xbox may not allow the change to the inventory system. Or maybe it conflicts with Darkstar somehow.

Also tried the ship framework mod (the 2-3 mods that work together, plus the fleet collection) but have yet to see any new ships (checked 2 vendors so far) so, not sure about that one.

[sharp lynx]

Sounds like you need to learn how to make mods

Then you could make all the mods that fit your niche

[fallen vector]

Inside of you are to animales:
One wants to make mods and the other is lazy

[sharp lynx]

I make mods for two reasons. So I can have what I want
So I can see others happy with what I make

Oh wait

[fallen vector]

i know what is required to make the mod i want but i'm so lazy 😭 and my ADHD isn't wanting to focus on it

[sharp lynx]

Opinion, would you want more post modern buildings or pre-war modern

[sand bloom]

there goes my herooo

[fallen vector]

if i understood what i've read, making hair mods requires nifskope

[sharp lynx]

It's such a mixed bag on one hand I see people run every mod with 0 issues on the other hand I see people run any mod with every issue lol

I guess we all just draw straws

[fallen vector]

yeah

[sharp lynx]

Hairskope

[sharp lynx]

What would that be maybe I'll make it one day

[fallen vector]

[sharp lynx]

Seems easy enough

I'm surprised zone hasn't included that already

[karmic slate]

@torpid badger You get your beam damage figured out? Thought of it after the fact but you could look at how the Cutter does it's continuous damage if you haven't yet.

[fallen vector]

there was a mod that i thought had versions of the hair styles but after i downlaoded it and looked, it didnn't have them

[sharp lynx]

Strange

[fallen vector]

Zone's Starfield Hair+Beards has a version of unlady lake but it has too much air in the front if that makes any sense lol

I know there's a mod for fallout 4 which adds fuzz to the unladylike which works for me but i have no clue how i would convert it

[torpid badger]

Most yes thanks. I have 2 weapons that are fully auto like the cutter 2 that are semi, but have been animations. And a sniper rifle.

All left is to work out what sounds to have for the fully auto ones

[shell pelican]

Go the anime direction and use the Kamehameha sound.

[karmic slate]

@torpid badger I take it my earlier suggestion worked out then?

[random hound]

@sharp lynx Feedback: My activator didn´t activate the quest, becaue i noob did not select the questproperty in the drop down menu to fill it with the right content. now my .start() make my quest run. making the wall console talk will be my text step. thank you!💐

[dry coral]

I'm only playing SF today because of the mods.

I had stopped playing altogether back in February.

[random hound]

I am playing with a few mods, and save story for later. with mods and dlc i hope to never run out of story content. what kind of mods do you like?

[sharp lynx]

I wanna make more story mods tbh

Also yes talking console

I'm surprised they didn't use any talking activators at all

[dry coral]

I'm really hoping for some small outpost habs. The vanilla ones are all too big for a landing pad workshop IMO. Love these tan 3d printed habs from the B.A.S.E mod

[scenic shuttle]

pre war modern

anyone think the next starfield update will drop on the 20th after gamescom?

[thick plaza]

Wait which rule did I break ? 😂😭

[distant stream]

There was some profanity bypass in it

[limber current]

I've played with that mod abit on my PC and it's really good. I do hope it comes to creations at some point because I like using my Xbox more

[twin atlas]

So I'm developing a new mod and already feel limited. I posted my vision for the mod in my discord, the census is people want loads of items at no cost. I feel like modding this game has become almost impossible. its either a "soft limit" on mods or a limit to new IDs. How do i possible develop a new mod that surpasses my Emporium mod, if people cant even use it without issue?

[thick plaza]

I feel ya, animations …. Quests…. Etc

[safe sorrel]

I definitely share your pain on this one, so many ideas, but also so many limitations it seems

[twin atlas]

I have a list of ideas as long as my leg, lol. My new Decor mod is going to include all of the Emporium and more, with items having functions, like opening doors and such.

[safe sorrel]

Nice! And I’m the same way, my “ideas” list is huge, but it’s proving a real slog to get things working well enough to start working through them

[twin atlas]

It sort of feels like Bethesda abandoned us mod Authors, the Ck is reporting that its outdated when accessing certain areas and theres been no update on patches for ID limit or mod capping.

[safe sorrel]

I’m taking a break from my Argos hab frustrations to revamp my walls one, which is currently tedious, but hopefully worth it

[safe sorrel]

Yeah, I’m not typically a doom and gloom person, but a little surprised it’s still are bare as it is, with no wiki and what have you

Hoping it’s just because everyone is tied up working on the DLC and buggy update

[twin atlas]

Same. This is the first game I've begun modding as an author, i had my Legion custom built to run Starfield and modding. And watched several hundred vids on youtube to learn modding in fallout and skyrim, just to find out Starfield isnt compatible with 90% of tutorials.

[safe sorrel]

Ha, that does seem to be the case quite often for sure

Like on the one hand I love puzzling things out, it’s why I went so hard trying to find all the little exploits that could be used to expand vanilla building

It’s fun every once in a while, but gets trying when it’s everything

[twin atlas]

I followed a tutorial on altering NPCs and it worked in the most part, but failed when it came to releasing the mod. The BA2 needed the BGS file, 4 dds files, and 12 un-named Mesh files placed in 12 separate un-named folders in the Geomotries folder.

[safe sorrel]

Yeah that stuff looked tricky, honestly buildable objects are painful enough, but my masochism levels don’t quite extend NPC edit far just yet

[twin atlas]

I've learned so much when it comes to build items, yet still have a lot to learn. Thats why I'm working on a new mod entirely, so i can use all the stuff I've learned and fix the issues as i go. The new one will have Menu icons, Prices distributed, functionality and hopefully a new menu of its own.

[safe sorrel]

Are you using the super convoluted method someone came up with a while ago for icons? I was wanting to add them to the Argos habs, but thinking about going through that convoluted workflow made my head hurt just thinking about it for my walls

[twin atlas]

I found a Reddit post and was going to give it a go. If it works im going to do a simple guide and release it.

[safe sorrel]

Nice

[twin atlas]

i need to update my current guides as well.

[safe sorrel]

It’s amazing how much gets learned so fast. Though lately as soon as I get one thing figured out, another “quirk” pops up

[twin atlas]

Agree. I feel as though id we Authors release guides, we can help newer modders learn the most simplest of basics and in turn, keep the modding community afloat. I've sent several messages on nexus, reaching out to well known Authors just for them to Gate keep information. I was begining to think VC stood for Very Callous. lol

[safe sorrel]

Ha

[twin atlas]

Then i met Tankgirl and im over it lol she da bomb

[valid gulch]

Could a mod be created to bypass ranger mission board start?

[safe sorrel]

Yes! She gave me hope! And helped fix at least part of my weird ghost problem I’m having with my new habs

Ugh I just found an issue with my new wall collision, I have the fix, just have to redo a bunch because my dumbass didn’t think about snapping for things like posters

At least I thought about it after only doing two sets

[twin atlas]

If you're referring to the mission mandating you to complete a board mission, i don't see why someone cant make a mod that Auto completes that request.

[valid gulch]

That should be fine. As battling of figuring out which mod causing missions to disappear is annoying as heck. Lol

[west geode]

For myself, I would say post modern😁 Although pre-war art deco-ish stuff is always cool

[valid gulch]

It's better than dealing with this

We would say... skip a step.

[twin atlas]

keep forgetting we cant talk about mods in the modding forum.

Nah, three hour drive. And as long as Sarah's interests align with mine and Barrett's, we good lol.

Another fun term for the "E" word is actually "Manipulation".

[valid gulch]

Atleast I keep Sarah alive by electric shock. Others want her dead.

[safe sorrel]

Ah, so a case of my dumbass brain taking things literally that shouldn’t be again

[cold vault]

I would have done the same. No worries 🙂

[twin atlas]

Anyone figure out how to send crew to player owned homes yet?

[safe sorrel]

Not yet

BTW Skully, your ability to make thousands of construct able packins without losing your mind never fails to impress me, I’m not even at the 100 mark for this revamp and my soul is trying to escape my body

[twin atlas]

My trick is to play music or movies while i work, it helps to have a distraction. Today i'll be marathoning the Alien franchise.

This is a good one to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAR6N9N8e6U

[safe sorrel]

I have a friend who’s never seen any of the Alien movies, so we are gonna marathon them with here, I can’t wait

[lost grove]

How do you make mods on Xbox? Or was that for someone else?

Would love to but I'm pretty sure the CK requires a Windows computer. Would be interesting to see exactly what it would cost me to get up and running, but I'm sure I couldn't justify the cost.

(Got two computers, but they don't run Windows, they don't have x86-64 CPUs, and games don't work well in Windows 11 for ARM anyway. So yeah, to even get started, I'd have to build a whole new rig... minus keyboard, mouse, and monitor.)

[twin atlas]

While this wasn't directed at me, Creation kit requires you to own Starfield on PC. I myself had a pc built to run Starfield and modding. I made sure to have the newest build possible. The cost of a custom build and the work ran me near 2k.

[sharp lynx]

it's always directed at you

[strong oak]

As per last response to you. If you can go I7-69xx or higher good idea, I would aim ssd disk space 2 TB or higher, If you have four slots for SSD do what you can, more SSD M2 slots seem to be on newer MB's. If you go Nvidea look at GeForce 4070 or higher. (4060 has known issues). (I have a 2 TB SSD C: and 4 TB ssd D: I had to purchase a 5 TB external SSD for my images and Saves. ).
