[sharp lynx]

Ahhh lol I bet you felt like you were literally making a quilt

[solid meadow]

I'm not finding anything on Xbox except for the Pathfinder Suit and some Weapon Renames. Could you please link the ones you're thinking about please. Or if there's a Mass Effect Starfield Modding discord you could direct me to please and Thank you.

[subtle jungle]

Dude. I am legitimately excited for this. I've been putting together a Vanguard playthrough mod list and well, honestly, I think I'm gonna hold off on it till you're done with this. I think it will be worth the wait, how ever long it takes, for sure. I can't wait to see what you do and where you go with this one. 🤘

[devout flame]

Thanks, I haven t been able to work on it as much as I'd like but its progressing.

[west flare]

People are uploading mods on Bethesda dot net more than on Nexus Mods....

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/64e5e01c-83d7-435c-9c26-889efc06b6a7/Halo_Patch_101 I don't know what this is. No description for it, no photos for it. Just a very vague title that includes "Halo Patch 101".

And it's on Xbox instead of PC. Who uploads mods on only Xbox instead of PC? Can't we just have both?

[timid temple]

That could be someone testing their own mod, or loading a WIP for their friends to test

you can't exactly drop esp/esm files onto an Xbox

[autumn idol]

I'd tried telling people this but they won't listen🤣

[west flare]

I bet it's because of Nexus Mods' policy that's causing people to upload mods on Bethesda . net more than the Nexus Mods website.

[autumn idol]

well thats one of em

[sharp lotus]

what was the policy again?

[west flare]

Something to do with making patch or mods that requires "Paid mods" or "Paid Creations". That they are forbidding people to upload mods on Nexus that requires a paid content with the exception of Bethesda made content.

https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13501488-publisher-approved-paid-modding-policy/

[manic drum]

Yeah, that definitely doesn’t help.

[west flare]

Exactly.

[autumn idol]

Patches for/Dependencies on Paid Mods: We allow patches that fix compatibility issues between your mod on Nexus Mods and a paid mod on an official provider as long as (1) the patch is included as part of your main mod file OR the patch is added as an "Optional file" on your mod page and (2) the paid mod is not a requirement of your mod to work. We do not allow patches for paid mods to be uploaded to "patch hub" mod pages or "standalone patch pages" on Nexus Mods. These should be uploaded to the paid modding provider's platform. For more information on this policy, please check this article.
the main issue: we can't do patch hubs for paid mods

you would need to go to each mod creator and give them the patch

which is the most stupid crap i've ever heard🤣

[west flare]

Ikr?

[autumn idol]

and instead of bringing people to your platform you making more people leaving

[sharp lynx]

Yea I will 100% never upload a mod to nexus again

nor will I update any of the mods I have on there

[autumn idol]

wait is it even possible to upload your big mod due to bethesda size limit?

[sharp lynx]

I'm going to have to partition the mod I believe, which will probably make people happy anyway since they be forced to have a farming sim with their superweapons

that's actually what I

I've been looking into

[green pumice]

Does that mean your large turrets and mech robots are coming to creations eventually? 😵

[sharp lynx]

they were always going to be there I just need to make them better ❤️

I just need to get out some preliminary ideas before I tackle the meat mods

[green pumice]

Omg I can't wait, I learned about them a few weeks ago but they're on nexus so I wasn't sure, I've been setting up a perimeter with your Luxury Homes mod just incase in the hopes it might come eventually

[sharp lynx]

Glad you like it ❤️ it def will

rn I'm working on the Pulse Rifle

[green pumice]

No rush, I'm just giddy to know it'll be there eventually, that's all I need to wait happily

[sharp lynx]

[misty geyser]

Not surprising with as young as Starfield modding still is. If people decide Nexus isn't worth the hassle, the in-game options are already acceptable enough to use instead.
Longer established communities for Skyrim and Fallout 4 will resist this more, but even those are starting to see the change happen.

[mental estuary]

I think there's been a bit of butting heads between the community and nexus. Without bad mouthing or going far into it

So I'm not surprised creation system has been getting alot of love

[sharp lynx]

I'd rather mod for the official company than some thrid part site anyway

say a lot considering I've been on nexus since 2012

It'll all balance out in the end I'm sure.

[autumn idol]

all we need is a better review system along with a proper comment section

[upbeat furnace]

I feel like the Nexus made a good decision to pump the brakes on paid mods. I do hope the rules concerning content with paid dependencies changes, but the site as it is today is really not equipped to organize content like that, not yet at least. I do hope the Nexus will eventually put resources into supporting such a thing.

[sharp lynx]

Ahoy scrivener ❤️

[west flare]

For Bethesda mods website at the least, yes. Nexus Mods included.

[misty geyser]

What sort of better review system? Anything involving more than the "likes" we already have (equivalent to endorsements on Nexus) would go too far IMO.
And comments would only be viable if we have the same level of control over them as we do on Nexus.

[autumn idol]

true...

could make it in which those that purchase VCs are allow to comment

and for free creations, simply those that download it

[sharp lynx]

honestly pretty happy they don't have comments so I don't have to teach every other commenter how to install mods weekly on every mod I publish

[autumn idol]

thats the only issue

[sharp lynx]

or get the same report 40 times

[autumn idol]

main issue is that people want to see if said VC is worth the price instead of cash grabs

[autumn idol]

they can't "test" it and its a 50/50 for somebody to review said content

[sharp lynx]

I think giving us more screenshots is a valid approach I'd like more than 12

[autumn idol]

at least you can refund creation points now

[west flare]

Bethesda mod pages actually used to have comment sections.

[upbeat furnace]

I did not know this, good to know

[autumn idol]

could make it in which mod creators:
A) make a custom video showcase
B) proper screenshosts

that way player can know whether its worth it

[misty geyser]

Yes, and they were a disaster of epic proportions. Which is why they no longer have them.

[autumn idol]

which sucks

[sharp lynx]

both of those things don't work

you can't see a video from the xbox / 12 isn't enough to convey scale

[misty geyser]

Even for something not necessarily large, 12 may not be enough to showcase everything.

[sharp lynx]

my recent mod had 29 jars with full biomes in them..... each jar could've had their own set of screenshots... what am I going to do with 12

this was the best I got

[autumn idol]

dammit!

[sharp lynx]

lol

I'd totally agree too

the current climate of comments is pretty volatile too.

[west flare]

The reason why I wish they would bring comment sections back for Bethesda mods pages is because I wanted to give feedback to Kingrath for their Doom mod for Starfield, and had to go through the effort of finding their discord server, joining their patreon and joining their discord. I wanted to directly say that the mod is awesome, but some of my small complaints are that the Doom shotgun doesn't have a unique reload animations, just the same animations as other shotguns in Starfield has. But then again, there's no animation tool kit for Starfield yet. Another complaint is the mod didn't have one of Doom monsters and wished they'd at least be at the last part of the Doom quest in Starfield.

[autumn idol]

we need animation tools for both

[west flare]

Yeah... I guess. 😢

[sharp lynx]

yea there's no animation tool kit like you said so your complaint would be pretty obnoxious

[autumn idol]

still its weird since bethesda themselves hired them for this

[west flare]

I said my complaints are small for the Doom mod. The rest of the mod is awesome and fun to play. I was being constructive.

[sharp lynx]

Oh totally

[autumn idol]

so it would make sense to give them something

[upbeat furnace]

Ye that mod was fun, great vibe. I only wish the combat sequence would have been longer.

[sharp lynx]

Who knows I'm sure one will come about eventually

[autumn idol]

since you literally advertised it🤣

[sharp lynx]

it probably isn't that simple

I preface this with "I have 0 idea"

[autumn idol]

true since you would need to give them the tools which have proprietary content

[sharp lynx]

The overall reality is tho, ignoring all the bs at the end of the day we just wanna make cool stuff

[thick plaza]

Just start making YouTube videos

[sharp lynx]

^

[thick plaza]

King gath team replied to my last video on their mod its better just making YouTube videos

[west flare]

I see.

[sharp lynx]

dont listen to Deshawn he puts pineapple on pizza

[thick plaza]

I do NOT condone pineapples on pizzas

[sharp lynx]

XD

[thick plaza]

Pepperoni gang

[west flare]

I'm more of a sausage on Pizza kinda guy.

[west flare]

By the way, which video? Link pls? I wanna see.

[thick plaza]

https://youtu.be/sgPVFRLqb6s?si=w3zlmmBhcVhcR_c3

[west flare]

Thanks.

Oh, that video's for Outfitters mod. You haven't made a Doom mod review for it yet? I like to see your input on this.

[thick plaza]

Ehhh I’ll skip it

[nocturne ibex]

So question is the ship builder categories not working? I didn't see any of the basic habs just all my special downloaded ones. Like every hab that's in base game is broke for me right now

[west flare]

Why not? I love to hear your input.

[jolly torrent]

Not pineapples on pizza!!! YECH!!!

[sour steppe]

#off-topic

[jolly torrent]

My bad. Lol

[sharp lynx]

Argonian unlocked

imagine if Argonians were in sf

[jolly torrent]

Just had to comment on @sharp lynx and @thick plaza liking pineapple on his pizza. Lol

[thick plaza]

I do not!!

😭

[jolly torrent]

lol

[sour steppe]

I understand. Now if it was about a mod that allows you to put pineapples on, or remove them from, your pizza, that would be one thing. As that is not the case. Let's move that to the #off-topic channel please.

[sharp lynx]

I think I'd like to make a pizza mod

[sour steppe]

Ah so this is your fault! 🤣

[sharp lynx]

[shy cloak]

make sure its an italian npc making them lol

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx I thought you were working on a pizza mod?!?!

[sharp lynx]

it has a wide variety of foods

to the point I had made stuff peppers

[jolly torrent]

Please, please release this! My game is ready!!

[jolly torrent]

Anchovies and pepperoni on pizza and call it Michelangelo pizza!!! Lol

[nocturne ibex]

Nvm i fixed it. It was the companion dialog fix and ship parts unlocked acting up

[young laurel]

Some sort of child pages would be nice too. As it is right now, every file has to be on its own page. Can't do something like having patches as extra files.

[oblique mantle]

https://youtu.be/56Vw6sQgPJM

[boreal osprey]

I noticed there's quite a number of people who make review videos of paid mods.

[jolly torrent]

Did Beth ever announce when they are adding animations to the CK? I was thinking adding a mod that gave the Starborn some of attributes of Liquid Cop from Terminator 2.

[oblique mantle]

If some verified creator want to make this, my wallet is ready https://youtu.be/SyvHxwiMui8?si=eJ1Jx_Zot7KVdJ9d

[jolly torrent]

Isn’t that on Nexus?

[oblique mantle]

Yes. But I'm Series S player and no mod about that, so if someone want to do their own version, there is market

[tawdry sluice]

The one I am looking forward the most is being able to extract everything from any planet. That is game changing. The cargo links can be so squirrely.

[sharp lynx]

well that's what you'll be getting

[tawdry sluice]

I'm ready...

By the way, the camping mod looks amazing in the autumn biome.

[sharp lynx]

KaoruSatou is great

makes great stuff

[tawdry sluice]

I also figured out how to populate the biomes with animals. You can sink the wired up animal husbandry habs into the biomes, shoot the animals outside, and then they appear in the biomes. I have dinosaurs in the jungle hab. Looks very Jurassic.

[sharp lynx]

See that's the clever stuff I love seeing!

[jolly torrent]

Gotcha. Just wanted to know if that needed to just be ported over.

[boreal osprey]

They never announce anything. They lock everything up like fort knox lol

[jolly torrent]

Is there a mod or an upcoming one that treats heatleeches as more of a threat? I have the Heatleech infestation mod, but I was wondering if one is out there or being worked on to have them attack in droves/more aggressive towards the player?

[warm bolt]

@sharp lynx love love love the new biomes mod! Only thing i wished was if the glass could be toggled to normal and sonething else, maybe the stary night glass from your galactic colonies biome? To prevent the dislocation of being in 1 biome but looking out to something totally different. But regardless, loving it.

[sharp lynx]

Glad ya like it!

I'm always curious what folks pick for their fav

[warm bolt]

Once i get around to fully fleshing the inside decor out (thankfully I have the next 2 weeks off) I'll decide. Hard to pick, they are all great

[sharp lynx]

Sweet! Lol that mod was one of the more difficult to make mods I've done

The fun part was making each as detailed as one another

[warm bolt]

It definitely shows.

[sharp lynx]

Question tho, Im debating on doing versions that don't have the glass at all but it would double the count clearly

I'm also going to add more biomes to the mod as well

I don't think I can set up a toggle glass feature sadly

@tawdry sluice I'll ask you too on this

[tawdry sluice]

I actually don't mind the glass. How I am ending up using them (my head canon) is to put animals in there that either tend to kill my colonists, like foxbats, or animals that don't live in the biome I put my outpost in. Also, I used it on a barren planet like a terraforming idea. My favorite is the Autumn one, the second one. The first and 2nd one and the one with the snow and the house take the animals really well.

[dapper galleon]

Does the Biomes creation take you to mini worlds?

[sharp lynx]

Boy howdy you're going to love my next mod lol

[sharp lynx]

Pretty much I put mini worlds in glass jars as the description says they're all one set open to the overworld

Just like you'd have a vanilla hab these are the inverse of that lol where you have a biome inside instead

[tawdry sluice]

Oh, I was pretty into your colony mod from Nexus for a long time. I love world building and decorating.

[sharp lynx]

Examples

[sharp lynx]

Yea I enjoyed seeing the stuff you made. Without spoiling details the next one is going to be huge in the same vein with game changing details

[tawdry sluice]

Haha, that one coconut tree that crossed over the middle was giving me fits. That is why I ended up buying the cozy camping mod. The tree was going through Miss O's apartment.

[sharp lynx]

Something is getting a huge and much needed overhual

LOL

It's funny I had to take the base games buko tree and twist it

I think in the next update I wanna make the savannahs grass yellow

[tawdry sluice]

You know it is strange to see which animals work in the jars. Some do and some don't. It is like the certain animal effects the behavior of the animal husbandry building itself. To work, you almost need to see a bit of the ceiling coming up out of the floor, even if it is just the seam in the roof.

The horses on Magnar would not work. The building just sinks to the ground.

[dapper galleon]

Are there any ship or home pet mods available?

[sharp lynx]

Interesting.. I wonder if I can make some edits to fix that

The humble horsamander

[sharp lynx]

I think so I'm not sure tho

[tawdry sluice]

That is what is strange though, same biome, same planet, this animal works, but the horse one doesn't.

[sharp lynx]

That's just the way this game is

Like that one guy on the X not able to get the mod to work

Got no idea

[tawdry sluice]

You couldn't guess it. I going to keep experimenting. I am definitely a person who pushes to see what is possible.

Haha, when I tried the bat/birds on Jemison, a bunch of wild bat/birds attacked Barrett. Kind of funny.

[sharp lynx]

Hahah!

[tawdry sluice]

Here is a dinosaur in the Autumn biome.

[sharp lynx]

I think if I add a marker layer within the actor zone it might snap them into it

[dapper galleon]

What mods let you use your spaceship as a home?

[sharp lynx]

I think you can do that in general

[tawdry sluice]

Really you don't need a mod at all. There are empty habs in the vanilla game. I like Item displays Enhanced, Bookshelf Displays enhanced, Graf's Habs are pretty good, Stroud Premium Edition habs, STEM empty habs, and Miss O's Furnish Your Fleet and Better Buildable Walls and Doors

Invisible craft stations is pretty great too. You can make any desk an industrial craft station for example.

[dapper galleon]

Any of the hab mods for collecting treasures?

[tawdry sluice]

This was a STEM empty 3x1. I broke it up with Miss O's buildable walls and lots of the Enhanced Displays. I collect a lot of things.

The Intrinity Armory and Brig is also Recommended. HUGE amount of display for weapons and armor.

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/483ae36e-54ef-438e-83e2-3f1f1bd90199/Intrinity_Aeroworks

[dapper galleon]

Thank you for suggestions.

[sick summit]

Rive is very good, I would like to see the interface on it

[normal steeple]

Right, phenomenal

[sick summit]

With recent updates, it has turned into some kind of independent full-fledged UI

Amazing

[high raft]

Why ain't there no mass effect mods? I see a vanilla ish normandy and thankfully pathfinder armor but that's it... I know legal issues and Bethesda with the paid mods but is there any hope? 🥺

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx I hate to bother you. Since you’re doing “Aliens” esque mods, or some rather, any chance of a mod that gives us a hab with cryotubes? Just for the aesthetic?

[jolly torrent]

Nah, I’m with you, Shay. Lol. 100%

[high raft]

I want a orbital cannon or airstrike or the hammer of dawn or something as well 🤔

[jolly torrent]

I’ve wanted an airstrike from the ship for so long. Nothing similar, but there is a mod that allows you to deploy turrets, bombardments, and the like during combat. I just need to get the name of it.

[high raft]

As long as it's on x box.

[jolly torrent]

Yes it is. “Avontech Deployables”. You can deploy rockets, turrets, and call on the UC (UC PARA VIVA!!!) to help you out in space combat.

[high raft]

🙂

[jolly torrent]

I like it the mod. It adds a bit of “Mass Effect” space Marines vibe that I’m playing the game as. If that makes sense.

[high raft]

Thx. I don't think my old saves are around tho. So I will sadly have to try a new one 😦

[jolly torrent]

That sucks. I’m actually in my fourth save now, never went through the Unity because at some point, the game will corrupt.

[high raft]

Never had that issue before

[jolly torrent]

Lol. Consider yourself lucky. It happens to me quite often. Lol

[high raft]

I have the lower weapon thing but it gliched the waking up thing so I had to start another one just now. :/ I'd rather sit between my parents in my dad's f150 and hit my dang head then listen to this dang dialog 1 more time

[jolly torrent]

🤣

[hoary lava]

Whoops.

[sharp lotus]

don't you hate when that happens

[hoary lava]

Messing with gradient and then I recognized it lol.

[jolly torrent]

Wait….does this mean we’re going to get Pop Tarts added to the game?

These kinda mods are my fav, ngl.

[fast owl]

Kool-aid jammers instead of capri-sun. Dissapoint

[jolly torrent]

😂 😂. I wish the original modder could add that in.

[jolly torrent]

That and Chef Boyardee.

But I’m a fan of brand name products in these games. I remember the one for Fallout 4. It was so dope.

[mental estuary]

https://tenor.com/view/ravs-can-roll-gif-13260887

as a follower ^^ Stonks as they say

[lavish flax]

@sly ocean hey boss, just installed your erase npcs mod, but it's not showing up in the lodge. Already restarted the game, and still nothing. Does it need to be higher up in the LO or is there something else?

[lilac latch]

@normal steeple Hi! Malloy! I have used A Staple Addition and love it so much. I have some questions about it. I want to know how the staple guns are generated. As you mentioned, you manually replaced 778 vanilla staple guns, and I'm wondering if the manual replacement is limited to major cities or includes all POIs. By the way, will the staple gun generate on enemies, as loot and from vendors?

[normal steeple]

Hey! That is great to hear! So as it stands, the original staple guns were all manually replaced, there was a selection of pack-ins that were used across a few POI's so that kind of covers them. I did add some more around the Key, government buildings etc... However I will be doing more placements in the future! Also expanding the variety + make them more formidable for combat

[normal steeple]

I didn't add them to any vendor listings or spawning on enemies because the idea was they're just a staple gun in the world and a chance find and hopefully players can decide based on the cosmetic/legendary effects whether they want to add it to their arsenal... Once the combat elements have been improved they'll be less under dog and possibly worth adding to enemies equip chance.

Have you found any banging cosmetic variations?

[lilac latch]

Thanks! It's very helpful for me.

Just found the The Flyboy staple gun for now.

One more question: if I picked up all vanilla staple guns in New Atlantis before installing A Staple Addition, will they reappear as new staple gun weapons after installing the mod?

[slim sun]

Capri-Sun was a very early texture mod in fact, but I'm not sure it ever made it to Creations: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/4188

I didn't end up releasing this, but I did the Japanese Coca-Cola slushies too: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/images/3512

[normal steeple]

In theory, yes!

[lilac latch]

Thanks! That's all I wanted to know. Really appreciate your impressive work.

[normal steeple]

Means a lot! Thank you!

[jolly torrent]

Nope. It never made it to Creations. I would be very happy if it did.

[random hound]

any suggestions for immersive travel mods? selected target location is kind of usefull, so a mod that removes the random screenshots as loading screens and replace it with a short animation film depending on the movement would be wonderfull.

that paid wormhole creation mod looks good. maybe it works together with "black loading screen mover" for super immersive space travel.

[tawdry sluice]

Haha, I think the Capri Suns show your age. Gen X? I enjoy the mods that bring in the brand names. Would love more mugs to collect.

[sharp lynx]

I did a nuka cola one

[tawdry sluice]

I already have that one.

Lol. I loved those.

[sharp lynx]

Tang

Tang is still sold in Asia

[hoary lava]

It was still sold here when I was a kid. Not sure now though.

[sharp lynx]

Sounds like SF needs come culture

[mental estuary]

Can't blame the blank slate universe for being a blank slate

[sharp lynx]

Nah it just needs some juice pouches

[tawdry sluice]

Tang would be amazing.

When I was a kid, my family was stationed in Germany. We lived right next to a Capri Sun plant. So, Capri Sun would be very nostalgic for me.

[upbeat furnace]

Cool! I had no idea is was a German company. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capri-Sun

I grew up drinking these.

[raw viper]

Hi yarrr'all 😊 just bought a pc and I'm was thinking about checking out this creation kit thing 😅
But I'm wondering.. what platform do you guys use to play starfield? Xbox ac thing on pc or steam or?

[tawdry sluice]

I don't know that it is. But, cherry growing is a big business nearby. They made cherry.

CK is on Steam.

[raw viper]

Yes but to try out stuff.. the main game

[tawdry sluice]

For every one person on PC, 4 are on Xbox, so I always make mods with Xbox in mind. But, personally, I play on PC.

My kids play on Xbox.

[raw viper]

I've been playing since the release on xbox x but I'm tired of the restrictions 😅

[tawdry sluice]

There are definitely mods on Nexus that I can't live without. I still use StarUI Inventory and Unlimited Ship Builder is just amazing.

[raw viper]

I'm downloading on my pc true my xbox ac, it might not matter where I download the game from?

[tawdry sluice]

I think that if you want to do CK, you have to do Steam. Google it.

[raw viper]

Thx

[tawdry sluice]

CK is really great. You can make a mod and right away log into the game and see how it works. I love it.

[raw viper]

Can't wait to try it out, I haven't done stuff like this since C&C red alert 🤣
Yeah.. I'm that old 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[lethal veldt]

any documentation about creating or editing an effect sequence on the creation kit ?

[normal steeple]

Send me a DM, I did a bunch for the Staple Gun mod with the guidance from NovaFinch

[safe sorrel]

I am having so much fun taking on the settled systems with my staple gun looking for more staple guns to loot

It’s made the lower level systems fun to explore again

So thank you @normal steeple Malloy for making this loot goblin dream a reality

[shy cloak]

nice
Is there also modifications to the staple gun as well?
or is it just a standalone gun?

eitehr way, looks dope
might save that for a youtube playthrough one day

[safe sorrel]

Currently you can change the color of the grips but that’s it for the time being for customization I think

If there’s on on Vectera it’s going to bee my next starter weapon

[shy cloak]

good enough for me
Staple gun run soon(ish)

[normal steeple]

Aha! A pleasure! Argos Extractors world expansion 🤝

[normal steeple]

Combat expansion is coming next!

[shy cloak]

[nova notch]

Is there a way to get the lock level of a terminal menu item?

[autumn idol]

have you check Cassieopia Script Extender?

[safe sorrel]

I did pick up an Argos stapler, but can’t remember if it was before or after the game crashed for me (too many saves) so not sure if I still have it (I hope I do)

[normal steeple]

I know the feeling

[safe sorrel]

I’ve found so many though now. At first I was tripping myself up looking for something yellow as per conditioning, but I’ve since gotten better at scanning for the correct outline instead of the color

[normal steeple]

That's awesome! What's it like? Do you compare? Think about keeping one over another or hoard?

Was hoping to evoke that kind of response

And personally I like the clear plastic + Crimson Fleet stickers with red grip combo

[safe sorrel]

That’s the kind of combo I’ve been looking for, so far only found 2 opaque scuffed Crimson Fleet ones, though I do like the scuffed effect for a fleet staple gun

[normal steeple]

Fingers crossed soon! 🤞 let me know!

[safe sorrel]

I will do!

[safe sorrel]

I hoard them all because they are great for decor, I’ve been using the ones that best match my outfit, and looking for ones with insignia and color-ways that best match my outpost builds as well, they look good on the little weapon racks and on all my desks

[random hound]

Is the guy who made: "More Jobs: Cook" here?

@dire cloud Hi bought your mod, have feedback if you like.

[jolly torrent]

@normal steeple What’s in store for the combat expansion?

I am so excited for all of these mods that launched today, ngl.

[lethal veldt]

does anyone have any idea on how to add a custom material to the ones that are allowed to change colors, like the ones used on ships and vehicles ? I've been searching everywhere for this

[warm bolt]

@normal steeple you don't choose 1 vs another to hoard if you hoard, you hoard everything 🙂 this just makes me need to get out and re-explore as my dragon treasure is now incomplete.

[timid temple]

you mean like how to get it to also change colours? or how to stick it in the colour picker?

[tawdry sluice]

@sharp lynx for a while I was only finding the Dark Nuka Cola. I found one of the Forgotten POIs and there were Nuka Colas all over the place and a big variety of them. I'm picking up all these great legendaries but giddy over finding a quantum nuka cola. 😅 I found the green one too, but can't remember what that one is called.

[normal steeple]

Hey!

Legendary Effects, some crazy multiple projectile attachments. New projectile types based on mods etc... I don't want to spoil too much but that's the minimum ballpark.

[normal steeple]

I hear that, interesting you mention dragons

[jolly torrent]

Thank you, @normal steeple that sounds dope af.

[oblique mantle]

My feedback. As Sims player, I need more "More Jobs" series 🥲 to roleplay

[lethal veldt]

both, there something important that I'm missing, that might be related to the material settings, I learned that for it be possible to change colors I need to add layers on the material, which I did, and I think I need to somehow parent the material to the ones that change colors on the material editor

[timid temple]

for letting it change colours like other pieces, there's a keyword you need on the ship piece - ShipsAll_ColorSwaps01. In terms of naming your materials, your new material will need to exist with _Primary, _Secondary, and/or _Tertiary in the name, eg ShipsBluePaintedMetal03_Primary.mat. The primary vs secondary vs tertiary determines if it's changeable by Colour 1, Colour 2, or Colour 3, respectively.

As far as I know there isn't a way to add a custom material to the color picker options, but I might be wrong there. Never looked into it.

[lethal veldt]

oh I see you are right, the layers make sense that way, also I took apart a material made by another author to see how he did it and found this, opening the .mat file on visual studio code

it adds the material path first
"Filename" : MATERIALS\mymod\mat_test.mat
then
[
"Data\MATERIALS\Layered\ShaderModels\3LayerStandard.mat",
"Data\MATERIALS\Ships\Interior\Nova\ShipPlastic_Base01.mat"
],

this lines must be important to add it to the pool of materials that can change colors

[timid temple]

Not sure about that - when I did the custom shells for my Ashlander habs I just built the .mat in the CK Layered Material Editor (copying an existing one). When I found that I couldn't change the colours in-game, I worked out that those Primary/etc tags probably mattered, and in the data\materials folder I renamed the new mat(s) to have the appropriate tag piece. Then it worked

I think I also had to have them in the respective subfolder - Primary goes in \Primary etc

if you search in the folder structure for the tag ordinals you should be able to find the full paths

[lethal veldt]

I'm testing rn and think only the primary tags, etc are the ones that matter lol its working for me now

doesn't look very good tho because I think the main _color file has to be white or more bright

Are there source script files for Shattered Space? I couldn't find it

[misty abyss]

Probably not.

Likely using existing scripts, as far as I could tell they didn't do anything that base game hasn't done already.

Thank you, sorry I stepped on your toes . . . I did the same with Strucktured and someone else.

Im trying to turn this hobby into a hustle

[sharp lynx]

eh its fine, I'm not the orbiter of base building or anything

I'll probably make a bunch of stuff that's similar tho but it'll have functionality to it

cause that's all the stuff I had planned for the GCE update

[devout flame]

I wish I knew how, like you mentioned with the shooting range targets

[sharp lynx]

yep shooting range was in my update list

[devout flame]

I bet it'll be EPIC!

[sharp lynx]

which I did already make one

I might just stick to unusual stuff tho, if I go vanilla I'll probably get a bunch of flak

hard to do sf aesthetics without it looking samey

[devout flame]

lol you gotta keep getting wilder, more extreme. I wonder where I'll go from here. I wanna do a DLC mod, with strucktures and towers and stuff

[sharp lynx]

Yea, that's basically what GCE is going to be

[devout flame]

Varuun'Kai has some cool stuff

[sharp lynx]

Varuun stuff is great you don't see much of that

[devout flame]

I'll wait and fill in gaps then, was gonna do my usual habs and doubles and all that so it'll be basic in that part

Love your stuff, I think you're a Rockstar! Ive got a lot to do before I release, take care

[sharp lynx]

❤️ thank ya thank ya

I wont be getting to GCE anytime soon since I have a few major mods in the works atm

then I gotta convert some stuff

[devout flame]

I wont be getting to DLC soon either, life

[sharp lynx]

the less I have on nexus the better

by all means tho keep being creative and makin stuff it's great to see

are these all going towards a whole kit then?

[celest cliff]

I need help figuring out which mod is causing new characters to start at level 10 instead of 1. It takes awhile for my game to load, otherwise I'd just do the old routine of disabling mods one by one until I find the culprit...
Attaching my plugins.txt. If anyone can figure this out, it'd be a lifesaver!

[cursive warren]

so, nearly every single time i edit/expand my ship in the ship builder it causes the 'useful brigs' mod to malfunction and stop working entirely. dont know why that happens. sometimes in the useful brig terminal it will be completely blank. like a non-loaded browser. other times it will be loaded, but refuses to open/close doors and when i try to place someone in the brig it tells me "you have no room for anymore prisoners'. i read something about it being the doors that malfunction to the brig somehow. and i have no idea how to fix that.

[devout flame]

Making the big Camps connectable with everything!

[dapper galleon]

Hi does anyone know where to place the Recruit Anyone as Ship Crew mod in the load order? And does the The Gangs All Here mod conflict with it?

[autumn idol]

for the latter it shouldn't...

[dapper galleon]

@sly ocean hi sorry to randomly tag u but I use ur mod recruit anyone as ship crew, is there a specific area in the load order it should be placed? The mod was working and then stopped once my load order shuffled

[dapper galleon]

Facts I tested it out and they work together I think it's the load order placement from the recruit anyone mod but idk where to put it after my lo shuffled

[cursive warren]

does anyone else use the 'useful brigs' mod?

[dapper galleon]

I use it, it really expands the gameplay

[cursive warren]

so, nearly every single time i edit/expand my ship in the ship builder it causes the 'useful brigs' mod to malfunction and stop working entirely. dont know why that happens. sometimes in the useful brig terminal it will be completely blank. like a non-loaded browser. other times it will be loaded, but refuses to open/close doors and when i try to place someone in the brig it tells me "you have no room for anymore prisoners'. i read something about it being the doors that malfunction to the brig somehow. and i have no idea how to fix that.

[dapper galleon]

I havent had that issue before but i rarely edit my ship after finsihing the build because i decorate it and dont want to lose the interiors. But i have usefubrigs, non lethal frame work and the patch, at the very top of my load order one under each other and the only thing above them are big game overhauls like skinthetics

[regal wasp]

So a bit of a strange question for the ship hab modders, do we have to set the ship hab variants in increments of 10 or can we use the in-between numbers?

[timid temple]

no idea, I just went with what BGS did lol

[supple nova]

Anyone has the output file of the usual save funclist 1 command? I don't think my computer can do it timely

[radiant temple]

Is the Baka Achievement Enabler still working? I'm setting up a new playthrough, but noticed there are many recent posts about the latest version of the mod not working

[drifting maple]

From what I read, you can, but you should see what everyone else is using.

Apparently it goes up to 16 million or something though. Should be a lot of open slots

I think bethesda probably just incremented by 10 to allow for variants

[regal wasp]

fair enough,

[heady lily]

@sharp lynx can you decorate inside the Jar Biomes?

[autumn idol]

it works

[river cobalt]

What does this mod when you add starfield to vortex?

[dapper galleon]

Hi, I have to disable my creations and then close the game, reload the game - enable my creations every time I go back into the game or my sound is gone, does anyone know why or how to fix? Thanks 🙏🏼

[dapper galleon]

This is on Xbox

[wanton echo]

You’ve been doing the right thing! There’s quite literally no way to fix the no audio bug at all

Except what you’re doing

You have to do the Disable-Close-Reopen-Enable-Load

[dapper galleon]

Ok thanks, so it’s a Bethesda thing not a mod issue? Had so many issues modding fallout and Skyrim I was hoping this wouldn’t be the same 😂⚰️

[dapper galleon]

Hi does anyone here use the Recruit Anyone as Ship Crew mod? & if so where did you place it in your load order?

[tawdry sluice]

Quit working for me. But, the old version makes my game crash to desktop. I got the big fat C next to my saves now. Of course, I'd rather be able to test my mods anyway, so I just have to deal.

[tawdry sluice]

Sure can. I even posted on the No Sodium Starfield Reddit how to place animal husbandry habs in there to populate your biome with animals. The cozy camping mod works great in them too.

[jolly torrent]

I placed it in the middle and it works sometimes. Sometimes it doesn’t.

[slim sun]

SFAE still works fine, just switch to that.

[jolly torrent]

@sharp lynx Are Buffalo wings included in your food mod? Just curious.

[heady lily]

Thank you. My new start rollplay quest for galactic domination can proceed 🤪😜

[heady lily]

About the only way to pin down the cause is going to be disable a couple of mods at a time, restart game and try to load a game. Once sound comes back, re enable one of last two you disabled. Been through this a couple of times. I run about 28 gb of mods and just crossed the 1700 hr mark. You can do it. The force is on your side. 💯🫡

[dapper galleon]

Ah yeah I am gonna have to slog through is, I think a few mods need to be activated before closing the game and restarting for them to work properly, is there a list at all of some of the more common culprits? I have been silly and downloaded 100 or so mods straight away without testing 😔

[dapper galleon]

I got so lucky first half of my LO was fine, added two more mods and one of them caused it! Bard’s outpost crew command was the issue, shame it seems like an awesome mod

[narrow reef]

I've got a weird issue trying to install a mod from creations. I'm wondering if anyone might have some advice?

[green pumice]

Could I ask some advice on making mods? I'm looking at two PCs that seem to meet the spec requirements for Starfield, if I showed a couple screenshots could someone tell me which one is best?
Also what I might need to get started other than creation kit, I'd like to make spacesuits and outfits

[narrow reef]

So, I'm trying to use LGBSHI's "Auto-solve temples" on XBox Gamepass on PC, but every time I try to load a save with it installed, it puts me in this loop where Creations tells me that the mod needs to be downloaded. When I download it, creations tells me that it is downloaded, but then it tells me that it needs to be downloaded again.

I'm not sure what's going on with it to cause this issue. Anyone got any thoughts or do I just disable that mod when I'm trying to do something on PC?

[dapper galleon]

Okay good to know thank you

[green pumice]

Thank you DJ

[radiant temple]

Thought about that, but from the mod page I got the impression it’s installed outside of the mod manager. Is that safe if I have a bunch in the mod manager? And is it possible to switch mid-playthrough and have it work? I don’t fancy restarting 🙃

[random hound]

make sure you got 32 gig of ram. a 4060 is okay but since it uses only 8 lanes, it should have x16 lanespeed (on the mainboard). @green pumice

[heady lily]

Glad you found it early.

[dapper galleon]

Now I am crashing as soon as I load up the game 😔 is this a specific mod problem or is it likely a Bethesda thing? Thanks so much for replying 👊🏼

[slim sun]

Yes, you can switch mid playthrough. It's just a single file you place in your Starfield directory (where Starfield.exe is).

Make sure you remove Baka First.

[heady lily]

Have you done a hard console cache clear and reset. Hold the button in console until light blinks and goes out. Do t let off the button until you see fan fan slow down. That’s always my first step. The next few aren’t as easy but …

[jolly torrent]

This always works 9 times out of 10.

I’m not sure why it’s needed, as none of my other games require this, but I’m glad the fix is there.

[radiant temple]

Thanks!

[dapper galleon]

Yeah multiple times, I am reinstalling the game now

[random hound]

Have you delted the files in the documents/user folder? that worked for me to fix crashing, as they are not replaced by deinstall/reinstall

and delete the starfield folder manuelly so that all mods are gone.

[dusky escarp]

Whichever has 32GB of RAM. But take my tip - partition your SSD (or format a whole one) as a Windows 11 DevDrive otherwise the CK may load v-e-r-y-s-l-o-w-l-y. If you are making suits and outfits, you will probably need 3D modelling software and rendering software because these aren't included in the CK.

[jolly torrent]

Wassup dude!

[solemn cobalt]

I don't understand why I'm getting this crap now. I have deleted, and reinstalled the mod, and the game to try and fix it, but its not working for me.

Does anyone know if there’s a mod that puts randomly generated buildings structures etc on earth? Like the game does for other planets but doesn’t change the look of planet earth like the earth restored mod does

[signal coral]

I've run into this issue with other mods. Might want to check to see if the mod its asking for is an esp or esm. If its an esp but the dependancy was set to an esm you can download till you're blue in the face. it doesn't recognize it even though its installed.

[jolly torrent]

Thank you!

[solemn cobalt]

Is the computer one the esm. mod?

[signal coral]

So I've had instances when I get lazy and have CK convert my esp to esm and it ends up uploading the esp instead of the esm. This has happened to me while updating a mod and users reported this issue. Seen it myself in my mods and others that have had this happen. PC or Xbox. Easiest way to see for yourself is to see if this mod goes back to the end of your load order despite moving it. esp files go to the last in the load order no matter what. IF this is your issue the mod author will have to reupload the esm. Or you can just play with the esp assuming other mods are not dependant on it.

If your load order is rather strict in its order, using the esp may not be an option.

[solemn cobalt]

I just get past the load screen, and the game crashes.

What the hell is going on with mods today? I have three that gave me the error message of “This creation cannot be enabled since it depends on files that aren’t present”!!!!

Disregard. Hard reset/clearing my cache on Xbox Series X allowed me to reinstate the mods, activate, and reorder them in my load order. Very weird glitch there.

[dapper galleon]

Yeah I’ve followed the steps reinstalled the game now and I haven’t had any crashes when looking through creations for an hour (haven’t downloaded any yet hopefully the game stays standing)

[nova notch]

no no, this isnt the terminal/computer itself. it's those locked files within a terminal.
like here, Index 1 - Workspace has a Master level lock

setlocklevel can be used if it's an objectref but since this is a menu item, it wont work 😦

It’s started happening again after I had been downloading my load order (about 60 mods) game crashes on start up when I am still in the main menu (not trying to access creations or load a save and it still crashes) 😔

[cold vault]

It may be related to your mods then. It could possibly be that one or more need updates. Try taking off all mods, then if it works add them back one by one to see which one is causing the problem.

If you can't access the in game mod menu, you should be able to disable them from the website.

[cold slate]

Are creations loading super slow for everyone else today?
Like glacial speeds when I update the mods that keep needing an update every new launch of the game.

[slim sun]

when I update the mods that keep needing an update every new launch of the game
Those (mostly) aren't real updates anyway. Bethesda just hasn't fixed their update notifications, still.

[west flare]

It's always annoying that when I try to update my mods on Creations that I downloaded, then even after playing the game and eventually saved and quit the game, I open the game again and it still tells me the mods I try to update needs to update again. The only way to truly update it is uninstall or disable the plugin, load the game, make a save, update or reinstall the mods, then load the new save.

[cold slate]

I suspected as much. But I still load the game, then creations, update, then restore load order, back to game menu, let it load again, then finally load my saved game.

It's whatever.

[worn tendon]

Hello peeps, I'm looking for some mod help regarding Xbox mods' textures not loading correctly - More specifically; the current mod I want to use like really badly is the ATLAS Clothing mod, however the textures will at random go all glitchy and pixelated, like it's not loading the textures properly? Weird thing is that it happens for every mod that adds in new textures, they'll go all pixelated and buggy at completely random, and this has been happening since they released modding capabilities onto the Xbox - if it helps I play on the Series S 👀

[oblique mantle]

"Fallout 4 Settlers"

[jolly torrent]

What’s this??

[oblique mantle]

Followers, crew when they interact with crafting stations, they produce something for your cargo in ship

[sly ocean]

Thanks for letting me know; a handful of others have also reported this issue, but I haven't been able to reproduce it and the recent metrics for the mod imply that most people aren't experiencing it either. I'd recommend testing with no other mods installed (temporarily), and if that doesn't work, a new save with just a quick start mod and this mod (in case a conflicting mod has baked something into your save that could be causing the issue).

[sly ocean]

Hmm, I haven't had anyone else report any conflicts with this mod, but it's possible there is one with another mod in your load order. Generally if you're concerned with a conflict, place the mod that's stopped working at the bottom of your load order to test. It's not foolproof since there are still ways in which mods higher in your LO could break mods lower (and your save file could have effects from some mods baked in), but generally it will do the trick.

[lavish flax]

Appreciate this. Will give it a try and see what happens

@sly ocean yeah still having the issue. Have all mods but erase npcs and skk fast start disabled

[sly ocean]

Thanks for reporting back. I'll think on it and see if I can find a solution sooner or later.

[lavish flax]

Yeah np boss. Hopefully you have some luck haha. It's weird cause it used to work before for me

I have a normally huge LO so figured that might have been it initially

[sly ocean]

Yep, that's apparently the case for at least some of the other people experiencing the issue. Several reported that it worked for them until the (I believe) June Starfield update.

[lavish flax]

Oh dang

[sly ocean]

That would be fine, if it weren't for the fact that it still works fine for me even on new playthroughs, and according to mod stats, for a large number of others. At least if it broke for me I could figure out how to fix it, lol.

[lavish flax]

Yeah that's the painful part of trying to fix a mod is trying to narrow issues down, everyone's load order is so different and then if it's not a lo issue on a fresh save, then what? Haha

I wonder if uninstalling and reinstalling may fix? Maybe too many objects loaded in and that might reset it? I back up my load order frequently so nothing lost if I were to

[sly ocean]

I doubt it should require that, but if you try it, let me know what happens.
Also, what platform are you on? Just collecting data on those affected.

[lavish flax]

Yeah will do. And series x

Is there a chance it may have clipped into the wall for whatever reason? Could check with your walk through walls mod

[sly ocean]

Anything is possible. Or maybe they added an object that overlaps the box, but it's not showing up for some people due to other mods or something. I guess look at the screenshots for the mod and check that area for the box inside of another object or wall if you're feeling up to it.
Otherwise I'll dig around next time I'm tinkering with Starfield stuff.

[lavish flax]

Yeah that could be it. If so may just need a new location, but I'll go ahead and check now if it may be in the wall

Nope, not between the walls

[sly ocean]

@lavish flax Try deleting and redownloading the mod now. I uninstalled and reinstalled Starfield, and tested again, and was able to reproduce the problem of the box being missing. I then edited the mod, moving the box's reference by 1/100th of a distance unit (imperceptible to the player), and the box is now showing up for me again.

[lavish flax]

Lemme boot up my game and I'll let ya know

@sly ocean can confirm, working for me too!

[sly ocean]

Nice; thanks for confirming. I'll let the others that reported the issue know as well.

[lavish flax]

Yeah np, anytime

[dapper galleon]

Does this mod erase Cora? Or if I erase Sam will she disappear?

[sly ocean]

I believe people have used it to erase Cora, yes. I wouldn't advise erasing anyone who might be needed for a quest later.

That cat was so bad ass. That cat was extremely brave.

[drifting maple]

CTD typically seems to be the result of insufficient memory on load for SF CK, but related to unpacked files from Source.

I had it initially, and deleted source files in data, got the CK loading, then only unpacked what I needed.

If you unpacked all the mesh files from the ba2 it's pretty much guaranteed to CTD too

I've got 32GB RAM and 12GB video RAM and I still can't unpack all that and run it

Keep in mind that CK is generally a bit unstable anyway

[fickle fossil]

have any modders made an achievement friendly “places doors and/or ladders” mod yet?

[drifting maple]

Likely not. Mods like that typically land in free mods. There are a couple SF Verified creatons for structures/outpost stuff, but I couldn't say whether anything like that is included in any

[valid gulch]

Thank you for your post. I have 64 gig of RAM, i7 13th gen CPU, and 16 Gig VRAM on a 4080 RTX, so I should be good there. Here's the funny thing. I figured out a way to get it at least to open, but I have to delete all the CreationKit INI files in the Starfield root directory. I made a copy of the vanilla CreationKit.ini file and reuse it each time I launch the CK. It loads, will save a plugin, create new forms and save etc. However, whenever I try to view any object whether in Preview or the Render Window it insta CTD. I've seen some threads on Reddit and the Nexus about drivers and such, but all my drivers are freshly installed and I am not using any settings in the Nvidia app to control the CK. In fact, it's not even in my available games to run through the app. I'm stumped. Oh, and I don't have any bsa files unpacked.

[drifting maple]

You might want to try the Nvidia developer driver out. Could solve that

Technically, CK runs on the game exe as far as I know. That's why it's such a small install

Also, Nvidia has there new app out, and I found it is a little buggy at first, but works for me now at least

Is the mod author of Gore Framework in the house?

[honest wedge]

13 and 14th gen Intel had major issues couple months ago that degraded the cpus and caused issues, there was fix for them but if your cpu was already effected it does nothing.

[brave reef]

What's nasapunks mod requirement?

[jolly torrent]

Would a “Captain’s Log” type of mod be hard to implement? Showing where you’ve been on a laptop in the Captain’s Quarters? Which fauna and flora are on which planet the player HAS visited? Random emails from people you’ve met and spam emails every so often?

[jolly torrent]

Also, more random boss fights with scary aliens would be awesome. I thought we were going to get that prior to launch. Is it difficult to render some creatures??

Like sandworms from Beetlejuice

[jolly torrent]

Or Dune. Lol

[valid gulch]

Question with Gore updated as the weapon slots for the effect is removed. Should I keep the enhanced blood splatter enabled?

[jolly torrent]

That’s why I was asking if the mod author is lurkin in here. 😂.

[valid gulch]

Sorry I was chilling in the starfield chat lol

[jolly torrent]

Not a problem. You got my question out there.

[valid gulch]

Mod worked with it before the update with the external thing.

[valid gulch]

The author be WurbleBeep

[valid gulch]

So many fun headaches.

[jolly torrent]

Thank you!!

[valid gulch]

Doesn't look like he/she is not on this discord.

[jolly torrent]

Damn it

[valid gulch]

From the magical of bethesda site unable send a message unless making a report to Bethesda of the mod and not the author.

Until a patch for it comes out Gore can't be used.

[fickle fossil]

i know i already said it, but i wish there was a ln achievement friendly places door and or ladders

i still have yet to finish the game without disabling achievements

[valid gulch]

Don't use mods that disable achievements.

[jolly torrent]

I thought some legendary slots could be used for the “death effects”?

[valid gulch]

Those were removed from the update.

[jolly torrent]

Oh shucks. So yeah. The mod is pretty much broken if ya updated it.

[valid gulch]

Yep

[sharp lynx]

stuff like that is bound to break every update

[hoary lava]

Look at it this way, if you haven't broken your game... what are you even doing?

[sharp lynx]

exactly

[valid gulch]

I had the game crash with no god rays mod to "play nice"

[jolly torrent]

I’m SCARED to break my game. Ngl

[mental estuary]

dont worry, the game will break itself if you look at a polygon the wrong way :3 (im kidding)

but seriously, if you are scared back up your files. play then just put the backup in place

[green pumice]

Are there more pictures for The_Wulfy's settled system outfit variety? I'm looking at the mod on the website and it says it has over 100 different styles so I was hoping someone might be able to show some of them here?

[dapper galleon]

I found what was causing all my issues https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/10816 this small mannequins mod was causing crashes when in the main menu, everything ok now thanks for advice guys 🙏🏼

[jolly torrent]

Is that being ported over to Xbox???

[jolly torrent]

I’m on Xbox. Back up my files to what? Lol

[mental estuary]

The ssd or hdd via the setting menu id think

[autumn idol]

maybe...

[mental estuary]

Console is a bit easier since I'd expect the mods go through a certain level of oversight before going on the creations

[jolly torrent]

Lol. Don’t tease me like that, bro bro. I’m dying for more Mass Effect mods as opposed to 500k Star Wars ones.

[valid gulch]

Mass effect, star trek, stargate ancient drones OP hehehe. And Halo

https://tenor.com/view/stargate-drones-gif-21314378

[jolly torrent]

I’m just ready for another space themed franchise to have its time in the spotlight. I’m sorry, I didn’t follow Star Wars. My mom took me to the theater to see one of them when I was younger. I think it was the one where they were racing ships or something and I distinctly remember Liam Neeson in it. I would have thought someone would have built a decent Enterprise ship by now and ported it to Xbox at least. Or the Nostromo.

[valid gulch]

I never cared for star wars. Have not touched to number star war mods.

[supple nova]

In Starfield is it now possible to change/add Perks to NPCs at runtime?

[autumn idol]

RTFP exists for this...

[supple nova]

This? https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8324 Neat but damn I was hoping for a native implementation

Thanks though

[crisp haven]

Is there a simple way of adding an existing faction or a new faction to the spawn list of an existing POI? For instance, adding a new faction to spawn at some random existing POI like the "Deserted Colony War Barracks".

[valid gulch]

Any chance could anyone upgrade No God Ray's? Or something similar to that.

[autumn idol]

its possible

but will conflict with others that do the same...

[sharp lynx]

No wonder! 😆 While that mod looks amazing and great imagine those are whole armors scaled down really small

[brave reef]

Is it possible for the mech mod to be ported to console ?

[sharp lynx]

Mine ?

[jolly torrent]

There’s a mech mod???

[thick plaza]

Uploading a new update

[jolly torrent]

Very nice, bro bro!!!

[misty abyss]

A deep pain. 4 years to overhaul minecraft's textures. 3k downloads.

[sharp lynx]

@misty abyss but it looked fantastic tho

[sharp lynx]

I added mechs to my GCE mod but they were roaming outpost defense not pilot able

They were still crazy super weapon welding units tho

[misty abyss]

We're likely to see mechs come to life in a pending unannounced expansion.

[sharp lynx]

Imagine

[misty abyss]

Yeaap. much time will be spent in the mech builder, like the ship builder (if they take it that far)

[sharp lynx]

Well I have a bunch of mechs I made so if that ever comes to pass I'll outfit them for that right quick

[jolly torrent]

Any chance in that mod that we, the player character, have to fight mechs on foot?

Sorry, ever since Mehrunes Dagon in Oblivion, I’ve been absolutely terrified of vertically large enemies in games. I think Mass Effect 2 also fed into that fear.

[brave reef]

Someone made one on nexus that basically transforms the player character into a large mech model as a playable character until they "get out" and then it turns back into a stationary model

[high raft]

Someone made the normandy sr1 and released it but only on Pc. 😦

Is there any hope?

[valid gulch]

Normandy ship is in creations though SR2

Yea one on reddit said no

I'm tired of trying. I'm sorry

Anyone know if there's any armor mods that are like fantasy adventure style armors, inwas saying in the regular chat how it would be cool to hav soke kinda burning aura Affect on our character, and some god level anime power. So like a cool fantasy adventure armor would look cool too.

[oblique mantle]

Second Colony Wars 🥲

[worldly furnace]

is it possible to do LODs for the static objects in 3dsmax. If it is, is there a tutorial somewhere?

LODs that are not distant LODs but those that are in 5 cell radius

[earnest flower]

At least i'm trying to do something different by making a Stargate mod haha

[autumn idol]

you do LOD via CK

[worldly furnace]

If I understand this correctly that's distant lod you do in CK. But there is also 4 levels of LOD I see in nifskope

[autumn idol]

hmm

[jolly torrent]

And I appreciate that.

[steady willow]

Does anyone know what would cause your game to keep crashing when you try moving something at a outpost

[fickle fossil]

is there anyone who can make an achievement friendly place doors and/or ladders?

i don’t want to deal with the unpredictability of door and ladder placements on my ship on vanilla

[sharp lotus]

Depends if they are willing to make them a paid creation

[autumn idol]

pain mod is currently a bad taste

[sharp lotus]

Pain
Paid
Same thing

[fickle fossil]

i’ll pay 2000 points points for it

[random hound]

EDIT: since 7 people asked me: No it does not mean i i give money for individual for me tailored mods, it just means i have no problems to pay for paid mods, if they are good and a good gameplay or Quest mods. /// originals message: I am glad i bought minging conglamorate. I also liked the cook job mod. so i am willing to pay for gameplay and quest/companion mods, just not 3 bugs for plush animal tois or something.

[random hound]

Did you make the stargate portals? i think its a wonderfull way to make starfield more immersive and connecting locations and avoid menus. if every major human settelmen would have one that would be great. but please do what your artistic vision tells you, you like to do 🙂

[sharp lynx]

The Stargate portal was cool

[craggy wolf]

Had anyone made a mod to fast travel to outposts from a menu or as a favorite?

[solid meadow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/7236?tab=description

Would anyone be able to port this to Xbox please? Says you can.

[jolly torrent]

Yes!!! Please port that to Xbox ASAP!!!

[high raft]

I want the normandy. Not the vanilla version. 🥺

[sharp lynx]

honestly I'd like to see more "starfield" starfield mods

[subtle jungle]

So asking here before assuming anything. I'm using the STAG N-Forcer vehicle mod. Anyone else used it and if so did it seem like the boost on it was inefficient?
For me it feels heavier than the buggies and the boost/thrust certainly enforces that feel but I drove into a not deep ditch, just enough it couldn't drive out, just wedged and the thrust/boost wasn't efficient enough to get me out and it was stuck. No amount of effort forward/reverse, boost or thrust could free it. Not sure what other mod I'm running that could cause this but just wanna see if anyone else is having similar experience.

The thrusters seem incapable of lifting it even a foot off the ground to help dislodge me. lol

[drifting maple]

If you get out and return to your ship, when you take off it should collect it. Next landing it will respawn outside your ship

[drifting maple]

You may just be stuck on terrain somehow. Not sure what the thrusters are capable of, but it may be unrelated

[subtle jungle]

My issue isn't that it's stuck exactly. More so that it doesn't seem to be capable of unsticking itself should it happen. It seems "too heavy" for the thrusters to lift it even enough to dislodge it. Unlike the vanilla vehicles.

I'm trying to figure out if this is a me issue or an intended design choice for this particular vehicle.

[subtle jungle]

This is as high off the ground it goes. Tested this on Jemison to make sure this wasn't some weird gravity issue.

[sharp lynx]

Aay I can see my house from here

[subtle jungle]

LOL yeah. I stopped by my Outpost to test this.

[sharp lynx]

weird it's doing that I can ask the person who made that mod for ya

[subtle jungle]

You're a godsend.

I love the vehicle, think it kinda fits in Starfield. Loved it in Saint's Row. I definitely prefer it's look over the current vanilla vehicles so I hope this is a me issue I can resolve. Lol.

[sharp lynx]

Unless I'm blind there's no pilotable mech mod on nexus

[subtle jungle]

I'm not seeing it either.

[sharp lynx]

you'd figure everyone would mention such a mod

[lavish flax]

I swore someone was making one at one point

[sharp lynx]

I mean I know the folks who attempted to do it. they def don't have it published

[drifting maple]

I don't knoww about them, but if I were going to do it, I'd port power armor over first, then use that to build the mech control

[sharp lynx]

it isn't that simple

which is why we dont see mech mods atm

[drifting maple]

Use all the various A model parts to build the skeleton and mesh

[sharp lynx]

yea sure one could use a model A but it's a bit more complicated than just that

[drifting maple]

Well, it's basically an extension right. Power system, scripts would need some changes, a few modifications to the power armor frame to make it fit the mech pilot interface and give you a window, a new UI for the pilot, and maybe grab some stuff from the rover to help hook it up

[sharp lynx]

nope, it isn't as simple as that

[drifting maple]

Not saying it would be easy, but that's the route I'd take

[sharp lynx]

it's going to require a script extender if it is to be done where the game is at now

[drifting maple]

Better than starting from scratch and trying to figure out how to plug in something completely new

[sharp lynx]

that's essentially what you are left with tho and what I mean

you kinda have to build it from scratch the way sf works

[drifting maple]

I did check to see how much of the FO4 power armor stuff was still in SF CK. It's not much really

More than most stuff though

[sharp lynx]

it's just reference forms that about it

[drifting maple]

Pretty much

[sharp lynx]

I'll just at the first opertunity to get my mechs pilotable

[drifting maple]

Still waiting on the next CK update. Hopefully they put some focus on expanding functionality early next year...fingers crossed

Figured the Model A chassis is pretty near a match for the wrecked mechs though, with minimal changes

Nice

[sharp lynx]

eh, these were all pre-ck

maybe one day we'll get anim tools etc

@drifting maple you working on anything cool?

[dapper galleon]

Hello everyone, does anyone know how to make an .ESM file display multiple languages? For example, when you use English as the game language, the text will show in English; if you use Japanese, Chinese or other game languages, the text will display in the corresponding language.

[drifting maple]

I guess it depends how you define cool lol

Working on FO4 settlement mod for Abernathy Farm. Expanded build able area back to just past the trailer, and over to include Wicked Shipping Fleet Lock-up

Completely rebuilt the Abernathy house to almost match the original layout, with a 2nd floor over the living area and a kitchen and counter area, plenty of platforms and a usable roof

All the foundation has been replaced, and I used steel posts and I-beams for the main support structure, along with a lot of post and beam construction

A Boardwalk between Red Rocket and the outskirts of Abernathy, restored the trailer, moved the grave and made a proper cemetery, and restored Wicked Shipping

Couple other changes as well. Got quite involved lol

[drifting maple]

Editor picks from current work

Just finishing up navmeshing; Wicked Shipping was CTD with my original navmesh when I was trying to do precuts, so I started over and now I'm selectively cutting the precuts in first

Bit of nightmare; editors precuts are ugly and need to have the vertices merged to clean and optimize them 😄

[drifting maple]

Had to re-upload those. No idea what Discords image limits are

[jolly torrent]

Did Beth ever say anything about the release of animation tools for the CK?

[devout flame]

Walled Fortifications (standalone), Sandbag Walls, Fortified Walls, and a Brand NEW Mining Laser!

[safe sorrel]

The mining laser is really cool!

[crude valley]

Going to attempt to port some armors into starfield again, anyone have any favourites from dead space ?

[green pumice]

Has Security Suit been done? I'd jump on that

Speaking of ports, I'm surprised there haven't been any from Skyrim or Fallout as far as I can see? I wonder how difficult it would be to port and upscale (assuming it's a basic rip and upload)

[crude valley]

I haven't seen that done yet! Been playing through the remake and love the advanced soldier rig also

[green pumice]

Dead space would be so fitting for Starfield, a small horror quest similar to it would be so cool

[normal steeple]

1000%

[rancid basin]

I wouldn't mind seeing a large single cone engine (like the engines in The Expanse). Even if it's just cosmetic.

[normal steeple]

also more Homestead monster suit vibes

[oblique mantle]

🥲

[devout flame]

Thank you, so far in testing it operates just like a regular outpost turret. A lot of it's templated from the Ballistic III.

[random hound]

[cold slate]

Are mods platform dependent?

Just spent some serious cash on my first "gaming" PC and when I load SF, using the same account on both Xbox and PC-Xbox apps, my load order is not transferred to PC. Neither do my Creation Points.

[jolly torrent]

Clearly

Is it against Bethesda’s ToS for a modder to mod in the USCSS Nostromo T shirts with dog tags from Alien? Asking for a friend. Lol

Something like this. I didn’t want my crew walking around the ship with their formal wear on ALL the time.

[strong oak]

You got it right. The different platforms do not talk to each other. It will not read the save from the Xbox for example on your PC.

[stone birch]

Idk if a mod like this exists but if someone made this a paid mod take my money. Idea of mod; along the lines of enemies using more "communcations" during fights, like example going to a POI, fighting some Crimson Fleet members. There will be a chance for a something to trigger a NPC to either run to some sorts of coms to call in back up. With the backup that's up to the authors decision but cool things like either 1 or 2 (depending if you can make a difficulty slider to add more customization) ships landing down. Could also be vice versa, a bounty ship lands, you start fighting them and you notice one of the NPC is running back to its ship and could have a coms panel where the ladder is in the landing bay.

[sharp lynx]

lol you and that'

[sharp lynx]

I'd love that

[stone birch]

I would imagine something like that could be possible so i guess its only a matter of time, but definitely a cool mod idea

[sharp lynx]

yea times the big kicker, there's a lot of stuff I got planned and 0 time for most of it XD

[jolly torrent]

I mean, I just want to curate the game a certain way. My bad.

[sharp lynx]

I mean it's entertaining

you have your niche.

its a good thing

[jolly torrent]

I don’t know. It seems like a bad thing at this point, tbh.

[sharp lynx]

why is that?

it's what you like you shouldn't be ashamed of that

[jolly torrent]

I’m not trying to complain or whine or be a Negative Nelson, but I run my Starfield experience as a Space Marine sim and it’s kinda hard to do that because I’m BIG on immersion. There’s just not a ton of immersive mods for that kinda play style on the market right now, so I try to throw out ideas and it definitely seems like a bad thing.

I think MonkeyChief made the best mod with that UC Overhaul, which I’m EXTREMELY grateful for.

[sharp lynx]

it'll just take some time

as someone who's done a complete overhaul those aren't easy lol

[jolly torrent]

I mean, everyone has their own idea on what this game should be, right? So please don’t take my complaints as gospel. It’s just coming from me.

I mean, personally, I wish this game was far more gritty with moments of levity.

[mental estuary]

i just want my ship, my gun, my family dinners and a family

i have 3/4 of those now i just need a hearthfire dlc/mod

[sharp lynx]

That's exactly why I started modding so I can have what I want in my game

[jolly torrent]

It’s just….wow!!! All these Star Wars mods and nobody thought to implement any sort of immersion elements? Things to do in the ship while in space? Like a fire on the ship? Random power loss? An existential crisis happening to your character? Otero clogged one of the toilets?

[mental estuary]

i have a mod idea for a companion but unfortately i dont have the processing power to make it a reality

[jolly torrent]

So many possibilities…but yet, we have 300k Star Wars mods? Lol

[mental estuary]

star wars is a big fandom and honestly every bethesda game has star wars mods xD

lightsaber in particular

[jolly torrent]

Not trying to bring the community down at all, as I appreciate modders and my checkbook is ALWAYS open for some QUALITY DECENT mods as @thick plaza knows.

[jolly torrent]

Yes, I understand

[mental estuary]

personally i just want more slice of life stuff, sure being the protag going around the universe blasting stuff apart is cool but sometimes you just want to slow down yknow

[jolly torrent]

I am not a fan of Star Wars, but I understand the fandom. I’m just trying to understand where the fans of the military are? Lol. That’s all

[jolly torrent]

That’s all I want, too, dude.

“A Day in the Life” immersion style mods.

I also have to admit my biggest character flaw- PATIENCE

[mental estuary]

exactly, i saw one creator talk about a hearthfire mod they were making as apart of the verified creator stuff (posted months ago) and then poof no progress sad but i get it life happens

[jolly torrent]

Sorry to come across as an angry jerk. My bad

[mental estuary]

nah you're good its all passion

I believe this coming year could be a very big year for modders. the tools have been out for a while and maybe we'll see some more dlc from bethesda soon

[jolly torrent]

I also don’t have patience, which is why I can’t mod for anything.

[jolly torrent]

Do you believe we’re going to get more DLC? A part of me doesn’t believe that.

[mental estuary]

mmm i feel like atleast 1 more

[jolly torrent]

And there’s a TON of mods sitting on Nexus that will hopefully get ported over to the Xbox.

[mental estuary]

the "grain of salt" speaks of Starborn as a possible dlc

[jolly torrent]

I think I shot myself in the foot by buying this game on the Xbox Series X

[mental estuary]

nah, i've enjoyed starfield on xbox alot

it has a nice sized mod library

[jolly torrent]

I think that’ll be the next DLC, I’ll be surprised if there’s any more after that. I love this game, but I just don’t see any more DLCs after that. I see Elder Scrolls VI quickly going into production afterwards and an “All Hands on Deck” for it.

[mental estuary]

true

a hail mary then hands off

[jolly torrent]

It does, but very few immersion-like mods for it.

[mental estuary]

hm never thought of that

[jolly torrent]

Not like when “Skyrim: Special Edition” came barreling down the road to Xbox One/PS4 in late 2016.

That mod scene was EPIC af

[mental estuary]

i mean skyrim had been around 2 or 3 generations by then

[jolly torrent]

There were Castlevania mods, Legend of Zelda mods, etc.

[mental estuary]

i rememeber getting it on launch on ps3

[jolly torrent]

Yeah, it came out in 2011 originally. I get that. However, the speed and the fervor is what I’m focusing on.

I’m not sure how it is on PC, probably quicker, but the speed, and the creativeness with these mods on Skyrim: SE FAR, FAR outpaced Starfield by a huge margin

It’s wild. I think because all the tools were already released

[mental estuary]

exactly they had the kit in hand for years and so had all that time to learn it

sad but give it time, the hate did slow down the wheel a little but i know people will come around and see starfield for the potential it has

[jolly torrent]

I’m also trying to figure out the whole “hate” thing. Yeah, the game wasn’t AMAZING, by any stretch, but there’s some fun to be had. The modders (again, thank you guys) made the game worth it at this point, but it’s not awful

Redfall was AWFUL and a far worse game

I just hope they release that animation tool kit sooner rather than later

Sorry for my rant, btw. I know I just made some enemies on here

[mental estuary]

It's overhype that led to disappointment. Some of us tempered our expectations and had basic wants from the game

[jolly torrent]

True. My expectations were in place right from jump, but I agree, Beth kinda overhyped and oversold this game by not showing the gameplay loop. They should’ve done what they did in the Skyrim presentation here, tbh.

[mental estuary]

i think they'll keep to their word and support the game atleast until the later production point of es6

[jolly torrent]

I’m not buying the whole 10 year thing. Lol. I think until late 2026/early 2027.

[mental estuary]

i guess we'll have to see

[jolly torrent]

True

[sharp lynx]

I just play the game lol

[jolly torrent]

I mean, yes. That is true. Lol. Again, sorry for my rant.

[jolly torrent]

Did I do something wrong?

[jolly torrent]

Lol

I guess I did

[regal wasp]

The same was said of destiny's 10 year plan tbf

And they managed it ups and downs included

[jolly torrent]

I think the Destiny devs had a lot more love of their product, tbh. Not saying Bethesda doesn’t care, but, Baldur’s Gate 3 was shown a hell of a lot more love in a quicker fashion. I’m not trying to be negative, I’m just trying to be objective and look at all of the evidence here. Thank goodness for the modders for real.

[shy cloak]

I can see Bethesda now doing SF the same way they did with F76

For the most part, it seems likely that Bethesda will now focus on longterm development releases for their new titles, from this point on

As much as I would like to see games released like Skyrim and Fallout 4 again, it looks like the next titles will follow suit as Starfield's

[jolly torrent]

That’s what I see. A small team MAYBE working on Starfield stuff, while Elder Scrolls VI is in development, but I don’t think Starfield has the staying power like FO76 has, due to it being MP with an online component. Definitely not for a decade.

And again, I have a tremendous amount of respect for the modders because they made this game lovable, tbh.

[shy cloak]

Bethesda is betting on the fact that their games will be played regardless for years to come

So, it's safe to say that Bethesda is now focusing on making a game that can last a few years and also adjust their games according to feedback, rather than releasing a one off title that not many players liked, after the mixed reception with Fallout 4 a decade ago, I think it's clear, they would rather take their time with the development of their games

[shy cloak]

And they know modding is gonna happen anyway, so why not also build a game that the modding community can play around with, hence why Todd mentions that Starfield will be "a modder's paradise".... imo, they know enough what to make, it's now a matter of what else will they do

[jolly torrent]

Really? So why did FO 4 get a nice little roadmap and Starfield didn’t get such luxury? Everything is guesswork with Starfield. And they are extremely tight lipped about everything with it? I mean, that’s their right, but I just can’t shake the feeling of “flying by the seat of their pants” with Starfield. It just seems like a lot of the decisions with the game are “off the cuff”, so to speak.

[shy cloak]

after watching a few of the interviews and talks from former Bethesda devs
I think its clear the company got way too bloated and work got all over the place

not to mention, now that Microsoft is also making decisions for what goes in and out of the game, I think its clear theres a lot of back and forth with the game's development, to a point where Bethesda is trying their best to keep up with expectations from the players and their higher ups in the gaming industry

whatever work they did with Fallout 4 back then is definitely waaay different than how it is now

and with Microsoft as the head honcho now, whatever plans Bethesda had for their games... well, its not just them making the decisions now

all that said, Im all in on whatever Bethesda makes with their games, and i also know a few years after those games launch, the modding community will keep their games going for years beyond

its all a matter of waiting and seeing what Bethesda does next

Starfield has ... most likely 3-4 more years of content to be added plus yearly story expansions
after that, its all in on Creations while they move onto to releasing TES6

[jolly torrent]

I just don’t see it being 10 years. Maybe in 10 years you guys can hit me up saying “I told ya so”, but I see support ending around the time ES VI is ready for release

[shy cloak]

are we talking 10 years of development or 10 years of Creations?
Todd mentioned they plan to work on SF for years....but for how long? its hard to say

I doubt SF will reach 10 years of development, I'd say about 5 years after launch is about right, which includes the yearly-story expansions and updates and new features added into the base game.
After that, I'd say they are done and its all just new Creations from that point on.

[jolly torrent]

I believe it was “Blah, blah, blah. We’ll have ten more years of content for Starfield…” or something to that effect. I see 2027 being the sunset period.

Early 2027

[shy cloak]

heh, these days, I wouldnt believe that til we see it
imo, Todd's just a very good salesman, and to me its all just marketing talk

in the end, all i care about is seeing more content for SF from both Bethesda and the modding community

[jolly torrent]

Please. Don’t even get me started on Todd. But, I think it was Phil who said it.

[shy cloak]

and in that order too
imo, modding Bethesda games are great, after all the content from Bethesda is done (ingame content and story DLCs)

[jolly torrent]

And that’s the crux of my whole rant. I love the modders to death, but I think the modding community is in a bit of a hiatus right now. I love mods and mods GREATLY improved Starfield way beyond. Like way beyond. But even now, with the mods on Nexus that haven’t been ported over, are there enough modders out there to keep up with the demand?

[shy cloak]

haha, I dont share the internets hatred for our lord and savior Godd Howard
imo, he's just doing his job to keep his company alive

All I care about is seeing the next title he works on, its a shame now that Microsoft is added into the mix, we wont be seeing the same type of games they used to make

[jolly torrent]

I’ll reserve judgment.

[shy cloak]

well.... Id say the modding for Starfield is still in its infancy, it needs a few more years before it can get anywhere close to prev Bethesda titles modding

the people who scream that Skyrim's mods are way better is just ignorance, imo
the "best" mods ive experienced over the years with Skyrim was years after SKyrim (and SSE) is released

so, im not too worried with the modding for SF down the road
all i care about now is when will Bethesda officially end making story content for SF, which I guess we can all say is still years away from now

[jolly torrent]

I would think, and I’ll leave it at this, that the influx of modders who were 💯 percent down with Starfield and were modding and putting everything in place, would have been around in June, modding , and then it’d then get bigger from there because of interest and ideas. It seems to be a lull in interest and ideas. Everything seems to be the same as it was in June when the CK was released.

[shy cloak]

ive chatted with a few modders on here before, and they were all hyped up for modding SF. Many had ideas they wanted to do from the get go after its launch. They were just waiting on when the CK will get dropped coz modding without it is a hassle, so ive been told lol

then once it did, they went all in. So in the end, I'm not too worried about Starfield, I knew exactly what to expect on launch and I cant wait to see where things go from both sides

[green pumice]

Do mind some modders are also taking it personally with their effort, so they're adding extra hours into their work to be as good as it can be for when it releases. June was 6 months ago and I'm aware of Hjalmere who has been working on their Falkland mod for that long if not longer, so I think it's reasonable to understand that great mods will come, they just won't be built in a day unfortunately (I'd probably be able to pay modders bills if they did release great paid content every week)

[shy cloak]

I cant wait to see DLC-sized mods for Starfield
...or will they be called story expansion-sized mods now?

but those are still years away so im just gonna be patient and wait til then

[jolly torrent]

Some of them went “all in” on 300k Star Wars mods. Lol.

[shy cloak]

yep

[jolly torrent]

At this point, I’m all out of ideas and I won’t voice any criticisms anymore.

I’ll just wait and be patient like a good lil boy

[green pumice]

Speaking of waiting like a good boy, do we know if there will be new creations later today?

[jolly torrent]

Yeah, more Star Wars mods. I just told ya.

[shy cloak]

Ayo mods, animated showers in SF wen?

[oblique mantle]

🤔 I'm not sure they move on when we live in a "life service era". Trackers Alliance with the 2 missions, faction Home was developed with 10 developers. It's almost a "jam" and you can "always" have this kind of team to give more support

[oblique mantle]

Great mods? I already bought all

[shy cloak]

Oh, i have no doubt they will add more to Starfield well after they stopped making story expansions
and tbh, the Trackers alliance missions is gonna be...what i call Creations-based, so its still gonna be Creations focused which is gonna be their "live service era" for Starfield down the road

Creations is gonna be their main thing with Starfield in the long term
I just hope they do plan to add more stuff for free into the base game outside of creations

[oblique mantle]

Imo I'm not sure they are going to stop adding story expansions in the same way Elder Scrolls Online or F76 don't stop.

[shy cloak]

that said, I play on PC so I dont really need Creations lol
tho some Creations-exclusive stuff, ngl, i might buy one day lol
I still have the 1000 credits that they gave to us for buying premium

[oblique mantle]

I would say Far Harbor style official expansions are "cheap" to produce in terms of development and have more interest/revenue that official creations

[shy cloak]

ngl, i want to believe that is gonna happen
coz imo, I dont think they will ever make a Starfield 2

I mentioned in the other SF-chat channel that SF is Bethesda's NMS/Star Citizen and why i keep mentioned SF as a "long-term game"

Starfield will be the only space game from Bethesda we will be seeing for a long while

[shy cloak]

I agree, many people hate the direction they are taking with SF (and possibly also newer titles too)
but I think this is the approach they are gonna take now

tho, I wish we could go back to the days of Skyrim and Fallout 4 which were their one-off titles, but ever since F76, where they release a game with enough content in the beginning and then its just consistent additions of new content, and then look at feedback and adjust as they go, this is likely how they will continue with their next games onwards

Im sure a lot of folks aint too happy about it
but if that means we get to have more content down the road, Im not gonna complain

[sharp lynx]

sad prey noises

[sharp lynx]

man you be too negative I'm just here to make jokes, enjoy company and have a good time lol. dis is meant to lighten the mood.

[shy cloak]

Dont worry, I know you'll keep SF alive way past its sequel haha

[oblique mantle]

This. No Starfield 2. In fact we don’t need it: we can have "seassons" with Colony Wars, Expanding colonies with LIST, Corpo Wars,... the NG+ offers a lot of posibilities

[sharp lynx]

I'll always be here lol

[oblique mantle]

I didn’t like the F3/Skyrim/F4 support..., with few expansions, a lot less patching, free upgrades and abandoning the games. Only CC with few resources in 2017.

[shy cloak]

but with Modding.... Modding never changes

[oblique mantle]

🙃 keep calm,sure BGS will migrate to UE5 and 0 problems with mods

[shy cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yay-shaqoneal-excited-dance-gif-8818184967646032189

[oblique mantle]

🙃 UE5 with no persistent tracking of aurora&tomatoes is the future

[worldly furnace]

Todd Howard didn't like it as well. He said that if they knew how popular Skyrim was they would have supported it with DLCs for years

[shy cloak]

and dont forget AI
Handcrafted? pass
Ai-crafted?

[shy cloak]

Dont worry, we will have long-term Skyrim at home... aka TES6

[sharp lotus]

And the games will automatically be good

[worldly furnace]

someone's gonna recreate Skyrim in TES VI

People need to chill with the UE5 obsession. It's not the be all end all. 😂

[regal wasp]

its also not great for certain applications as well

[sharp lotus]

A lot of engines get designed to fit specific aspects so some do certain things better than others

In the sacrifice for ck’s modding Bethesda games won’t be automatically better on unreal

[boreal osprey]

A lot of people watch the tech demos and think it's the best thing since sliced bread lol. Even though most people can't run any of that stuff. Plus it's the most unoptimized engine

[shy cloak]

a lot of "game dev experts" out there lol

Howdy Kraken, hope you prepared some BBQ for the coming new Year

[uncut cedar]

always!

[young laurel]

Looks amazing as a whole, but I really just want that helmet to replace the current Ecliptic one.

[oblique mantle]

🙃 Never, I laugh when I see press asking to developers (Kingdome Come, Space Marine 2) Why do you use your own engine when UE5 exists?

[plain ember]

I need some help, the TG Environment Jars Mod isn't working for me. I got rid of all my other outpost structure mods and I still don't see it. Outpost skills are all at max too

[west flare]

Finally! More Halo mods coming to Starfield!

As I've stated before, Starfield needs more Halo mods. It's been getting too much Star Wars mods. Can't blame them for adding Star Wars mods though. But Starfield needs more Halo mods and more love for Halo.

[shy cloak]

give it time and more mods from other franchise apart from Star wars will happen
modding for Starfield is still in its infancy, the modding community is just going through a phase

[plain ember]

I feel like Starfield would really benefit from some 40k mods-

[jolly torrent]

That’s what I’m waiting on.

[solar cairn]

The Star wars mods are great and there is one that still needs to get done (for the new Xbox) and it's a "Star wars background music mod" the way they did the"game of thrones background music mod" for Skyrim. It makes an amazing difference in giving you the genuine feeling of being in that particular universe. Someone please make this happen for Starfield on Xbox. Msg me directly and I'm open to paying whichever modder does it 😉👍

[sharp lynx]

unreal is overrated

[random hound]

While i would like it, i also think it would it make quite likly, they get a copyright strike and current good stuff would be taken down, which would be unfortunat. While i like other sci-fi franchises, truly unique story quests/characters etc. would be great too.

[sharp lynx]

^ especially if you offer to pay for it

[shy cloak]

the mods that i mostly prefer to get are the ones that are either lore-friendly to the game's setting or it fits the game's aesthetic and tone.

not that mods that are based on other IPs are bad, I just like to have mods that fits the game overall

[sharp lynx]

you'll love what I'm currently working on then

SF needs more SF

[sharp lynx]

it requires decor level 3

it's stupid cause I totally deleted that requirement and it totally put itself back into being required

[plain ember]

I have the requirements, but I still don't see it. It's in structures right?

[sharp lynx]

only other suggestions would be to either raise it on your loadorder or lower it

I'd raise it first

[plain ember]

I've been doing that like crazy, what's weird is your luxury homes mods work fine, but the jars are weird

[sharp lynx]

Yea I don't know, someone else had this problem "the only other person to have it." and they just didn't have the research requirement

[plain ember]

Weird, I have decor level 3 already. I actually have ALL the research projects done

[sharp lynx]

and it's not at the very bottom of structures

did you try uninstalling and re-installing? what system are you using? clearly console which one

[plain ember]

Xbox Series X, the latest one

[normal steeple]

Same energy 🍻

[sharp lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/alien-3-fulltimejob-gif-1596256840930861981

[plain ember]

It's just so weird that your other mods work but this one's being iffy, I really want to use it too. I'm gonna be making a little hideout in the deserts on Va'ruun'kai

[sharp lynx]

yea they use the same template as the other ones. this is also a very uncommon issue as I haven't been flooded with people experiencing this, which usually when there's a consistent problem I 100% hear about it and it seems like half the planet lets me know.

not sure, I guess just try doing an uninstall, load the game, save the game, reinstall check the mod as active, check and see if it works then uncheck it as active then check it again.

[plain ember]

Yeah, I'm gonna do that and fiddle with the load order

I brought it all the way to the absolute top of my load order as well

[sharp lynx]

the console is a nightmare lol

I'd put at least like... 5th maybe I dunno I don't know how many mods you have or what mods you have XD

[plain ember]

I bet, I wish I had a PC tbh. If I could I'd try my hand at making mods. I feel like someone should make some Warhammer 40k mods for Starfield.

[sharp lynx]

I'm hoping it isn't an issue with the lvl 3 decor application

as in... since these are a later installment they might not be tracking the condition

which is why I dont add requirments!

if you make a new character and hit lvl 3 decor it might just magically fix the problem

lol

[plain ember]

Damn-

[slim sun]

Top of your load order means load first, bottom is load last. If you want to minimize the chances of another mod overwriting something in a mod you're testing, you'd want to load it last rather than first.

[sharp lynx]

I usually assume people know that

[plain ember]

Well, I think TG might be right about the requirement trigger

Luckily, I have a mod that can let me skip through all the way past the Unity

[sharp lynx]

if you do, do that, I highly recommend making split saves in the event that isn't the problem

[plain ember]

Yeah, I'll do that

[sharp lynx]

and if it ends up being the issue then fantastic as I'll know to make triple sure the darn conditions get nuked before I ship it.

I just find it odd that majority Series X players didn't run into this...... which is frustrating cause I prefer consistent problems those are easy to fix XD

[plain ember]

Lol, I definitely get that

Honestly I have a lot of respect for modders, I've worked with them a bunch trying to help with troubleshooting on console. Done it for Skyrim, Fallout, and Starfield

[sharp lynx]

console is general needs a troubleshoot

[plain ember]

Especially Fallout 4 now-

The load times are so painful-

[sharp lynx]

I miss fallout 4 lol

[plain ember]

I do too ;°^°;

Makes me sad that the next gen update totally ruined the game

And we were practically weeks away from getting Fallout: London

[lavish flax]

Huh. Was there no new paid mods today?

[dapper galleon]

Yeah exactly! How cute would that be 🙏🏼

[sharp lynx]

right but like..... the render cost lol

I take that back

they're probably perfect in small numbers

[subtle jungle]

Hey dude, hate to bother, but did you ever happen to get a reply? Cause if it's a me issue I think I'm gonna just nuke the save to avoid further issues.

[sharp lynx]

glad you mentioned I forgot to ask XD

I'll send that now

[sharp lynx]

they're working on a fix

❤️

[random hound]

I just realized i can use "voice attack" (voice commands) for more immersion in starfield. "Set course" (trigger e to select next quest marker in other system) and "Engage or Warp Me" to iniate traveling. i wonder how many menues i can work around that way happy

wow on nexus there is already a downloadable profile for skyrim for voice attack and other tools. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17840 i just need to buy voice attack - and its on discunt for 8 bugs right now 🙂

sometimes no need to bug the creators of a game to change something, just helping one selve does the trick

[twilit prism]

You guys should check out/like the suggestion I just put in.

I realize that sounded narcissistic lol

I just mean if it gets a lot of attention it's more likely to get noticed, and it's something everyone would love.

[random hound]

having a working load order is great. having someone find a working mix is great. good taht you promote it

[twilit prism]

Thank ye

[random hound]

i just reinstall starfield because mine causes crashes.

[silver sorrel]

I was wondering if anyone would be interested or could bring this mod over to Xbox. I was going to ask the mod creator who created the mod, but they had no way to contact them on nexus and only had a way to speak to them on patron, which I can't afford an account just to be able to ask them if they would bring it to Xbox. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/720

[subtle jungle]

You're wonderful. Thank you. So does this mean it isn't a me issue but an intended function of the mod?

[sharp lynx]

apparently so

[subtle jungle]

Well at least this means I don't have nuke the save. I was really thinking it was a me problem. 😂

Tell them I said thank you for the fix whenever they get around to it!

[green pumice]

I'm curious to know if a verified creator might available for a commission or if that's against the rules here?

[oblique mantle]

🚀Happy new year, road to Starfield year 2

[oblique mantle]

Nope, workers need to rest to support all the creations I'm going to buy during 2025

[stone birch]

As long as they are stable, makes my experience smooth then I'm here for it. I removed all my non verified creator mods because one of them was causing some questionable concerns so i just decided to stick with all achievement friendly mods, back to my vanilla save and i been enjoying Starfield again.

[brazen socket]

Creations menu item "updated" need urgent fix. Urgent.

[random hound]

Whats the current issue?

[brazen socket]

This menu item is a MESS. Instead of "Updated", this item should be named "NEW UPDATES" and present us just the most recent mods with new updates NOT old updated mods.
This makes no sense because if we update a mod, it's ok, the update should be removed in my Creations. But in fact the already updated mods goes back to the "updated" menu .
This creates a huge mess, with old updates together with new ones! Right now I have DOZENS of already updated mods together with new ones, and I don't know which is which anymore!

[plain ember]

@sharp lynx I think I figured out the problem, I have some kind of mod that's auto completing the research projects. That might be why the Environment Jars Mod isn't working for me

[brazen socket]

I asked Bethesda many times to fix this problem and so far no changes.

[jolly torrent]

Exactly. It’s bugged. I just lost track of what is already updated and what needs an update.

[brazen socket]

I have my game broken 2 times because of this mess. My theory is Bethesda's Creations is incapable to "read" our game and register which mod is already updated, then the app bring back old updated mods over and over.

In another words, Creations is dumb.

[random hound]

and i guess switching to a mod manager does not allow to use creations paid in creations? as they are only avilalbe there...

sounds like something that need fix really importantly.

[brazen socket]

Exactly.

[random hound]

have you sent it to bethesda in the homepage, or here in starfield suggestions or somewhere else?

[brazen socket]

I sent to suggestions 3 times, got few stars. I hope after Bethesda devs come back from new year vacation they fix it anyway. 😄

[jolly torrent]

It’s even worse on console, as we don’t have a lot of luxuries that PC users have, such as mod manager or console commands.

[plain ember]

@sharp lynx It worked!!!! IT WORKED!!!!

I FINALLY have the Environment Jars Mod working!!!

I'm gonna cry I'm so happy 😭

[jolly torrent]

I’m glad it worked out for ya!!

Do you know which mod was preventing it from working?

[plain ember]

Yeah it was a mod that messes with research so that there's no material requirements. As soon as I got rid of it and used a research bench to get decor 3, it worked!

Not only that, but other mods started working too!!!

[languid fable]

Version numbers for mods can get baked into your save game. The McClarence Outfitters for example I downloaded at version 1.0. It's been updated since, the new features in the update do work, but the Creations menu wants to re-download the mod every time I check for updates.

[jolly torrent]

I think I know that mod. I had an issue with it on game #2, I believe? I’m on my 4th playthrough. Never beat the game due to mods breaking my save. Lol

[jolly torrent]

That’s pretty much my case. The updates work and the mod DOES get updated, however, the mod will stay in the “Update” page, even though it was updated. So I just kinda stopped updating the mods, tbh.

[languid fable]

You may be able to work around the issue by disabling the mod, loading a save, save, quit, back into Creations menu and then update. Problem is you don't want to do this with mods like McClarence since you'll lose all your progress.

[jolly torrent]

That’s what I’m scared of. Lol. That or the save being borked because I disabled it and tried to play the game WITHOUT the mod.

[languid fable]

Yeah, any quest related mod or mod that adds objects to the game such as ship parts or outpost structures will probably cause problems such as game crashes. You could always make a manual save and test anyway. Mods such as outfit replacers or texture swaps should be fine to remove. You can usually get away with removing a mod that adds outpost items if you find and delete all of the new items that you've placed.

[glacial fjord]

Is there soneone here who could help me out with a custom outfit for starfield please🙏🏻? It's just a put together of a few parts from vanilla outfits in game and color change

[sharp lynx]

@plain ember wonderful glad we got that sorted out

I had a hunch lol

[jolly torrent]

Thank you. I am far too much of a coward to try this. I may have to check videos on YT on how to do it. I’m more of a visual learner, unfortunately.

[jolly torrent]

Hopefully, you’ve forgiven me on my rant the other night. Still patiently awaiting your food mod. Lol. I’ll be the first in line to download it.
