[sleek cliff]

Begs the question if there are space cannibals though.

[nimble latch]

The tps doesn't actually want to preserve earth

Hope yous know that lol

[sharp lynx]

Well as I said my sect is different

And that they, as an organization, are a bit all over the place

[nimble latch]

Well the people at the bottom may think they're doing some sort of good, but the whole thing's a scam

[sharp lynx]

But for me, I have high doubt there is only one or two branches and TPS being the only group

[sleek cliff]

I think TPS tends to have splinter cells.

[nimble latch]

I could, though, see constellation being interested in old relics and culture

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/not-scientifically-possible-professor-membrane-invader-zim-movie-enter-the-florpus-peace-day-gif-4334204081118740353

Constellation is a weird a faction in that aspect

[azure dragon]

They should be destroyed

[nimble latch]

Walking around the lodge sorta tells a different story, at least to me

They've all sorts of replicas of historical artifacts

[sleek cliff]

Eh, they’re just a bunch of try hards.

And in other universes? Ultimately forgettable

[sleek cliff]

C’mon, Buddy.

You want everyone out side the Kandyvic System to die.

[nimble latch]

I'm a big fan of constellation, always suiting everyone up in constellation themed gear courtesy of wulfy

[sleek cliff]

I only have this role cause I don’t know to remove it.

But frankly, I don’t side with any factions

[azure dragon]

As I should

[sleek cliff]

Fair enough, after traveling through the settled systems, as long as I’m left alone in my corner of the universe, I’d happily stay out of the crusade

[sharp lynx]

Constellation is actually interested in old relics

Mateo is actively artifact searching

If you hang out in the lodge you'll hear Walter and him speak about him looking for old earth artifacts

There's also the old earth artifact he tried to steal from Walter lol

[sleek cliff]

God, I don’t like Matteo.

Could just be the hat.

[sleek cliff]

I was just under the impression that they just drove around in their ship, LOOKING at stuff.

[sharp lynx]

Yea, they do activity look for archives and relic

Mateo tho specifically is a theologian and he himself actually has a personal mission to find stuff related to theology

[sleek cliff]

Then he backs out at the edge like a WUSS

[sharp lynx]

He's just there to be a counter narrative lol

[sleek cliff]

It’s why I shoot him every time I walk into the lodge.

[oak plinth]

I would be so jealous (maybe pissed) if I spent a bunch of time looking for relics and some miner shows up and finds a bunch, and not only that, gets powers.

[sharp lynx]

Oh for sure

[sleek cliff]

As far as it goes, there are three people in universe that have the Starborn imprint

Barrett, The MC and whoever sold Petrov his artifact

[sharp lynx]

I think the thing no one likes to talk about tho is a far worse under tone narrative when you find the duplicate you........ From their perspective, a wild random person from out of nowhere shows up and literally takes their destiny and lives the life they were meant to live all while looking exactly like them......

That's kinda nightmarish and no one really thinks about that

[sleek cliff]

That is legitimately one of my favorite topics.

[sharp lynx]

What if they wanted to marry x companions, or become starborn

[oak plinth]

Very true

[sleek cliff]

You basically steal the alt you’s adventures and paint a target on their back.

[sharp lynx]

You have to sit there and watch someone wearing your face do all the things you potentially wanted to do or didn't know you could, while being actually them at the same time taking a back seat to your own life and watching it third person third wheel

Nightmare

Or worse, they, us, make all the choice they absolutely wouldn't have wanted to make

[sleek cliff]

But it’s also heartbreaking for the other, you find out this you has a family you never had, parents, siblings.

[sharp lynx]

And they get blamed for all of them after we jump

[sharp lynx]

That depends, cause we can have parents too

[oak plinth]

I used to empty my ship before I jumped. Most of the crew had no idea anyway.

[sleek cliff]

True, but not the siblings.

[sharp lynx]

We might even have siblings as well in other iterations

If they have siblings then it impossible a version of us that jumped doesn't

[sharp lynx]

Heartbreaking

[sleek cliff]

But my thing is this, I hate that we can’t alter our appearance without them changing too, I wanted my character to be older and more seasoned and the alt us to see the future and potentially walk away from it

[sharp lynx]

Mod idea lol

[oak plinth]

I find it funny when doing Walter's mission in my Guardian Starship, and when the other Starborn shows up afterwards they act like they have never seen one before.

[sharp lynx]

LOL

[sleek cliff]

I’m surprised it hasn’t been done yet, it’s annoying when I want to be a grizzled old veteran but then alt me looks the same without having gone through it

[sharp lynx]

Currently standing in the same ship, "WOW what is that!"

[oak plinth]

Then you act like you have no idea, lol

[sleek cliff]

It gets annoying after a while.

[sharp lynx]

I'll pretend it's the player being extremely condescending

[oak plinth]

I spend some time building a new ship so when I fly in to town, I'm incognito. Helps with the roleplay.

[sharp lynx]

I think I might actually want to make a ship

But it would be a mod

[sleek cliff]

I got that mod that lets you choose the universe you wind up after the Unity, I always change my name and appearance so alt me doesn’t get caught up in my chaos

[oak plinth]

I spent way too much time ship building and outpost building before I even started the first mission. I thought the outposts at least would mean something.

[sharp lynx]

Yea same, except I've never built a ship

[oak plinth]

For sure, any new ship will be a mod. I'm about 80% done with one

[sleek cliff]

I mean, full disclosure, I usually just stay with the frontier

[sharp lynx]

Well that's what it will be kinda

I'm not about to deal with making parts and all that nonsense

[sleek cliff]

I’d love to see this ship as a mod.

[sharp lynx]

Too much out there, it'll be a nightmare trying to make them fit with everything else

[sleek cliff]

The Sleek Design is nice and futuristic

[oak plinth]

I get way too caught up with the flow, and is this a realistic use of the space. And also egress. Does this room, or hab, or whatever have egress. lol

And is this space ADA compliant

[sleek cliff]

Truthfully, I don’t care much about the look of my ship, if I could use a Starborn guardian as a regular human I absolutely would

The Guardian is peak design

[oak plinth]

I don't mind so much with the outside, but I do like the inside to feel like it would be functional. Enough beds/baths/food prep etc.. for the crew, etc... I treat my ship like a traveling home

The guardian is sweet, just with the inside made more sense.

[sleek cliff]

I love the bridge of it so much.

Legitimately speaking, it’s everything I’d need

[oak plinth]

If you keep your crew light, which I do a lot, yes, it works just fine. I've done entire playthroughs with just that ship.

[sharp lynx]

Just wait

LOL

[sleek cliff]

Eh, I prefer traveling solo in that ship.

[oak plinth]

I generally have at least one or two for the stats boost, but other than that, yeah, just me a lot. I rarely take anyone with me on missions.

[sleek cliff]

Wonder if there’s a mod to get it as a human

[oak plinth]

I feel like I stole one once, but couldn't keep it or something. Might have been a glitch.

[sleek cliff]

I like to think my character “appropriates” Starborn tech

Like, she’ll rip a Starborn out of their armor if she gets close enough to study it

[sleek cliff]

Because I do not want to go through the Unity.

[sharp lynx]

Starborn stuff is so cool we need more of it

[oak plinth]

I held off forever, but eventually did.

[sleek cliff]

They’re definitely saving the lore of that till the end.

[sleek cliff]

Eh, I seen all the universes

And I’ve built my armory

[oak plinth]

Yeah, I had so many outposts and they were all connected. I was XP farming like crazy, it was really hard to give that up.

[sharp lynx]

I try not to jump

I've currently had the same universe for about a year lol

[oak plinth]

I think it's been about that for me. I got on a kick though after my first jump where every weekend I would do a playthrough and go to the next one. It was actually really fun, but I'm settled in now.

[sleek cliff]

I recently made a new character, I like to have one consistent character

[oak plinth]

I wish I could move my game from the XBox to my PC. Now that I have ben playing around with CK, I rarely get on my XBox, and most of the time on my PC, I play to test, lol.

[sharp lynx]

You want a fresh start

[sharp lynx]

One day

[sleek cliff]

👀

I’ll keep that in mind.

But for now.

She’s beauty, she’s Grace, she will shoot you in the face.

[neat crow]

Upgraded another one of my early player homes to my current standard

[sleek cliff]

THAT SAID, I built a whole ass armory on Venus, I can’t lose that to become Spacedust

[sleek cliff]

Hey! I had this one.

[neat crow]

now it got fancy coffee machines and all too

[sleek cliff]

🙌

[neat crow]

And a little secret too

[sleek cliff]

Holy sweet Akatosh

Who needs a serpent when you have a Kitsune?

Speaking of which, I need to go through my LO and erase stuff I don’t use anymore

[neat crow]

also a big thank you to @idle bramble who provided the correct collision for the little Kitsune to work correctly

[sleek cliff]

Well, this is redownloaded, time to go sees it.

[neat crow]

I also made an actual functional bookcase for that one where you can store 98 books in each case

and they show up on display and all

[sleek cliff]

Man, I love bookcases

[sharp lynx]

LOL I feel personally attacked

I joke! 🤣

[neat crow]

I feel attacked from the CK!! Setting these up is such a pain!!

[sleek cliff]

🗣️

[oak plinth]

I really want magazine racks like in FO4 to display all the magazines I pick up.

[sleek cliff]

That was an underrated feature.

What else am I supposed to do with all these damn magazines I find

[oak plinth]

For real!

[sleek cliff]

And finally I can stop dropping books in a hole near where I live

[neat crow]

I can probably add something like that to my deco pack in an update

doesn't sound like its complicated at all

[oak plinth]

That would be awesome

[sleek cliff]

I concur, that would kick ASS.

[sleek cliff]

Hey, Nem, Small Ish, love the home, looks amazing, but for whatever reason, I can’t seem to leave.

The door swings open, but I don’t transition outside

But I can fast travel out at least

[neat crow]

that's for sure an odd issue lol

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, fast traveled to the empty nest, came back and still does it seems like, for both exits.

[neat crow]

hmmm

[sleek cliff]

Now I’m just looking for that shrine in doors

But I can fast travel out when I need to

[neat crow]

time to fix a door I guess

not sure how the door even broke, thank you CK I guess

[neat crow]

Button on desk

[sleek cliff]

And here I was looking around in the bathroom

[neat crow]

he the door is indeed broken on my end too

how is that even possible

[sleek cliff]

It’s funny how you can go in through both doors, but not out.

Also

God, this looks good, I’m onna build a shrine at my Venus Base for it.

[neat crow]

only cost me 10 bucks

[sleek cliff]

Damn Good 10$ spent.

Now this is something worth Worshipping.

Gonna build a shrine in my room at my Venus base.

[neat crow]

the guardian respawns too after a cell reset (168 UT hours)

so if you need more of them, just sleep a little

well that explains why the door is broken, no idea how you're able to get inside tho. Thank you CK!

[sleek cliff]

Hell yeah! Nice.

[sleek cliff]

Dumb Luck maybe?

[neat crow]

more like CK trolling me

okay so.. there isn't actually an exterior door in the CK LOL

https://tenor.com/view/nick-young-huh-what-confused-question-mark-gif-17888030

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/stumble-shake-shaky-drink-gif-16104354

Well, better it got caught now rather than later.

[neat crow]

so uh can you test going into any other interior in AC

[sleek cliff]

Sure, gimme a sec.

Went into Laredo, works fine there.

[neat crow]

got out too?

[sleek cliff]

Yes.

[neat crow]

okay because CK is telling me there is not a single door in AC lol

[sleek cliff]

Gonna try somewhere closer

Ok, The Rock seems to work fine too.

[neat crow]

Thank you!

[sleek cliff]

No problem.

[subtle jungle]

Oof.

[sleek cliff]

For safe measure, I broke into the house next to the manor, also worked going in and out and I burglarized it just to be safe.

[neat crow]

I think I found the issue so hopefully patch out soon

[sleek cliff]

Hell yeah, Nice.

[idle bramble]

Always happy to help where I can.

[neat crow]

Okay I think I got it now. Somehow, CK managed to delete all Akila exterior doors without me ever opening Akila City.

[idle bramble]

That type of thing is why In my headcannon, CK stands for consistently knackered.

[neat crow]

@sleek cliff Update out now, you may need to wait a day on Venus for the doors to work properly again

[slim sun]

It's a feature not a bug

Like when it occasionally adds a NAVI record when you haven't even opened a cell.

[neat crow]

I don't even know how this happens. Like how the heck does every single exterior load door of a worldspace I never opened get deleted and then the interiors doors get teleport linked to a packin cell?

Some VIGILANCE cosmetic stuff

[sleek cliff]

Hell yeah, Nice!

[sleek cliff]

God, That weapon and Armor look SLICK.

[lyric finch]

Can not wait

[warm bolt]

Question...i'm building a location, and want to place a few vanilla ships, ideally to steal. But static decoration would be ok too. But i'm at a loss how to do that. All the vids/tutorials are on adding to vendors.

[neat crow]

Place the GBFM of the ship into your location and link ref it to the landing pad

lemme look up the correct keyword real quick

[sleek cliff]

By the way, how goes the FO4 play through?

[neat crow]

paused for now the sluggish gunplay is really offputting lol

[neat crow]

SpaceshipEnabledLandingLink

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, can’t much argue that. Even the most ass gun in Starfield handles better than 99% of FO4 guns

[warm bolt]

Thanks!

[sleek cliff]

Reloading the FAT MAN launcher still cracks me up though.

[neat crow]

If this somehow does not work there is also the roue of doing it via a quest

[lyric finch]

How's the skins working? They different unique pieces or can you paint em

[true igloo]

Can't mix/match other than the helmet, body and boostpack since those are separate items

[lyric finch]

So they're unique sets then, nice

[true igloo]

Skins will all be craftable but also found on different variants

[lyric finch]

I see there's a black one 😍

Is there a reason we’re only allowed 6 mannequins at a base?

[junior imp]

Because 7 scare me

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[neat crow]

Most likely something related to performance or so because mannequins are NPCs too

[sleek cliff]

Well dang.

[neat crow]

iirc there are mods to increase the limit

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/emoji-upset-fade-away-thanos-gif-3502099563043560787

[sly ocean]

Is there a mod that shows the distance to quest markers greater than 100m out?
I've been playing with various new POI mods lately, and often they have me trek way out into the wilds, and I'd like to know if the objective is 101, 1,000, or 10,000 meters away without checking the surface map.

[jolly torrent]

I’m definitely counting the hours to when I can close my work laptop and hop on Starfield

[untold field]

I am so ready for this 😄

[jolly torrent]

530 can’t get here soon enough

[neat crow]

Yes, buuut.. I forgot its name

[sly ocean]

...let me know if you remember? lol
I couldn't seem to find anything, but maybe my search terms were inadequate.
I'd make it myself, but I don't see any obvious GameSettings and I don't want to dabble in custom HUDs.

[sleek cliff]

Same, I can’t wait to suit up in that armor.

And beat civilians to death like it’s the FALL OF REACH.

[lyric finch]

Insurgents... Gotta keep the reports right

[sleek cliff]

True true true

[neat crow]

I do remember it had a rather non obvious name and it's been a few months. If I come across it again, I'll let you know!

[sleek cliff]

@neat crow loving The Core SO much.

[neat crow]

Glad you like it!

[sleek cliff]

I’m absolute ass when it comes to decorating my homes.

So it’s a damn RELIEF to come back somewhere that looks lived in.

[woeful sigil]

The VA-MG is out tomorrow!

[sleek cliff]

🙌

[sleek cliff]

Another banger to add to my armory

[woeful sigil]

Been meaning to make an SMG for a while, glad it's finally coming out 🙂

[sleek cliff]

Looks great, love the battle worn look

[sharp lynx]

Great stuff Harra

[sleek cliff]

So many spacers are going to die to that bad boy.

[sleek cliff]

Is SMG short for Spacers Made Gone?

👀

[sly ocean]

In the meantime, since I couldn't find anything, I figured out where it's set and made a mod of my own to handle it 😁
https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/a67752f6-7d6c-41e9-8223-f27ae40883eb/Quest_Marker_Distance_9999

[neat crow]

Awesome!

[sly ocean]

Believe it or not, that is the first mod I've made for any BGS title that had external assets (71 mods for Skyrim, 41 mods for FO4, and 33 mods for Starfield), due to starting out on PS4/PS5 and striving to keep all my mods "no external assets"-compatible. Hopefully if we get Starfield for PS5, we'll get external assets allowed, or I'll have a single mod I can't publish for PS5 players 🙁

[untold field]

Lol I googled Harra and was confused why I dont find any weapon mods on their profile, was sure they already made weapons.

Anyone spot the error 😄

[jolly torrent]

@neat crow Thank you once again, Nem!!

[sleek cliff]

Ah, Skyrim.

Everyone’s favorite Ex

https://tenor.com/view/yoda-8ball-fortune-gif-3353722416505620491

[untold field]

I never liked Skyrim as much as Oblivion tbh. I still put a lot of time into it. But that is over a decade ago. From time to time I look at it like "I have to reinstall it" but when I look at the amount of mods available... I would need a month or two just to filter out what mods I want to use and then probably another month or two just to install everything 😄

I stick to Fallout 4, Starfield and to every Bethesda RPG that is coming in the future.

[torpid badger]

actually Starfield is my first BGS game

[untold field]

Everyone has to start somewhere 🙂

[sleek cliff]

That’s a lot of fans perspective yes, they dumbed down Skyrim from oblivion

[untold field]

They keep dumbing down every new game lets be real about that.

[sleek cliff]

Oh absolutely.

[untold field]

There are always improvements made, but every time I look at a feature in one of their games and be like "I hope they will improve that in the next part" its most likely rather dumbed down than upgraded 😄

[sleek cliff]

I don’t need you to dumb down my game, TODD, I already know I’m dumb, I don’t need to be reminded!

[dusk steeple]

Hopefully they won’t do the same mistake of limited dialogue like they did in FO4 in F05

[amber sparrow]

Nah they listened to the complaints about that, that's why 76 and starfield are unvoiced protags with tons of skill checks

[untold field]

Exactly

Its not all bad, otherwise we wouldnt be here 😄

[sharp lynx]

I'm so glad the voice protag was ended

[untold field]

Agreed, it doesnt fit the style of Bethesdas games

[sharp lynx]

I think people are just too critical nowadays and its amplified by dwindling attention spans and the always online always having access to information era we're in. The thing BGS has done and this is factually 100% for each game they've made so far, is making solo player games that live well past 20 years. Which is beyond unheard of and incomparable to just about anything else out there. So, yea, I kinda admire BGS

maybe not past 20 maybe 10

I dunno a ton of people still play fallout 3 XD

Mods tho, mods are the bees knees XD

Oh shoot this isn't even the right server XD

[sleek cliff]

BASED comment right here.

[sharp lynx]

Lol I mean every game is better with mods

without a doubt

[sleek cliff]

Oh absolutely, to continue your point, Skyrim would’ve died out AGES ago without mods

[sharp lynx]

Possibly

[sleek cliff]

Look at Avowed? Came, went, gone.

[sharp lynx]

I dunno tho, cause I never modded skyrim and still occasionally play it unmodded.

granted I def don't represent everyone XD

[untold field]

I feel its a mixed bag. For every game that people are critical about, they buy another total s***how of a game. We would not have all these garbage games filled with MTX, battlepasses, VIP memberships, seasons, diverse predatory gambling mechanics etc. etc. if people wouldn't buy it.

Personally, I am way less critical now than when I was younger. But I am not ignorant to what is going wrong. I am just tired of fighting it maybe? 😄

[sharp lynx]

I think it has its own merits to stand on but 100% for sure modding has extended its life force

[sleek cliff]

I mean, you got a team out here remaking a whole damn game in Skyrim’s engine

[sleek cliff]

Sure gave us a ton of memes.

https://tenor.com/view/skyrim-margin-awake-marginskyrim-gif-20155428

[sleek cliff]

It’s why I stay away from the first descendant, I don’t care HOW many outfits they add, they ain’t getting into MY wallet.

[sharp lynx]

Eh, historically, its just a shift in market trends, it's not much different than most other market trend shifts. It's a lot like youtubers making youtube carriers for the first era of it's life cycle, people would ridicule and tell them to get a real job and now its generated an entire new avenue of economy. Or for a better example, collecting toys, you pay to buy a toy, the game comparies are just doing the same thing but game form, without those types of econ systems in place games will just be how they as at launch and stay that way, in the end there really isn't an extra cost its more or less continuing the life cycle of whats there, and if that's good or bad is up to opinion.

I'm 100% not saying it doesn't come without its cheese for sure dont get me wrong

[untold field]

Idk I still think it got out of hand, we even have paid mods now, can you imagine? Giving modders money for stuff they should give me for free smh

[sharp lynx]

cause of course there are abusers of the system, but there's going to be abusers of any system that exists ever at all.

[sleek cliff]

Starfield is in its modding infancy right now, give it the same amount of time Skyrim has had? We’ll have a fallout planet, a nirn planet, god help us, a Night City Planet.

[untold field]

JK about the paid mods of course, but I still think gaming monetization has gotten out of hand. They should at the very least ban every gambling mechanic for real money.

[sharp lynx]

I figured fren ❤️

[sleek cliff]

EA about to learn the hard way thanks to the crown prince.

[sharp lynx]

I mean, there's always going to be abusers

no excusing it in the slightest, just saying.... markets have had them since the invention of an economic system.

fun fact, the whole reason there's marking on the side of coins, is to ensure the coin isn't clipped, back when we had gold coins people would clip parts of the coin.

[sleek cliff]

On that note, I have no idea how credits work, they seem clunky.

[sharp lynx]

I personally find having to subscribe to 30 different apps just to watch shows hyper annoying.

[sleek cliff]

Like, let me pull out 1000 of these lil guys

[sharp lynx]

BUT. if it means better shows and in higher volume, I can see the value

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/money-coins-gif-8869215

[sharp lynx]

I think credits are similar to a usb drive and a block chain and the represented model is meant to be singular, meaning all of our wealth is transferred onto the device and whatever amount is on it is what it's worth.

this is pure speculation on my part I have literally no idea

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, if anything the economy of it is so weird

[sharp lynx]

It's probably an advanced form of bitcoin

[sleek cliff]

I would’ve stayed with paper money.

[sleek cliff]

I don’t know what that is, literally no jokes being made, nor do I know what Crypyo Currency is, sounds haunted.

[untold field]

Damn its tuesday again. Only 15 and a half hours left until new creations drop. So we already know about one weapon mod for today. Curious to see what else we will get.
I also wonder when we will see Novas creation. Would be dope to still get that in October. But I guess rather not?

[sleek cliff]

Well, he definitely made it seem it may come out before December,

[sharp lynx]

I think what they're going to make will be outstanding.

[sleek cliff]

Vigilance is gonna go wild.

[untold field]

Would be really nice, my free time will be limited again from December on.

[sleek cliff]

I personally wouldn’t mind it coming out just before Christmas.

[sharp lynx]

I joke

tell them to make you a coffee too while you're at it

[untold field]

?

[sharp lynx]

Nah, I'm actually in the same boat

I hope it comes sooner rather than later

[sleek cliff]

Her Ai model must be malfunctioning.

QUICK! Start the hard reboot!

[sharp lynx]

I was joking cause it was like "dang it I'll be busy then make me the mod now!"

it was funnier in my head

[sleek cliff]

We all want the mod now, that’ll be what brings everyone together.

[untold field]

Happens

[sleek cliff]

Not Terran Armada.

[sharp lynx]

it's gonna be hype

[sleek cliff]

I mean, that armor goes ridiculously hard.

[untold field]

We are all sitting here waiting for a new Starfield update until they release Starfield 2: Terran Armada in 2055 lol

[sharp lynx]

by then the US will annex Canada and the vaults will be built

[sleek cliff]

I love how in past updates they said they had so much to share with us down the line and now we’re near the end of said line

[sleek cliff]

Hopefully a certain Las Vegas magnate gets his special item delivered on time before October 31st 2077

I do hope they deliver some preem QOL of updates.

[untold field]

I let you know that I have much to say about this but much like when someone says that they like the sequels and think they are actually good, I will just sit here in furious silence and save us from a rather pointless debate 😄

[sharp lynx]

LOL

[sleek cliff]

I know they said they was kidding, but Nate was DEFINITELY a war criminal.

[sharp lynx]

I too think the sequels are terrible

[untold field]

Facts

[sharp lynx]

I want you to know either way I totally value your opinion ❤️

[sleek cliff]

There was zero hesitation after getting unfrozen to cap someone.

[sharp lynx]

I think doing anything outside if finding shawn is stupid

Why are you doing this, go find your son

[untold field]

Now, back to a more related topic and on a positive note, I am not kidding when I say that the Deimos parts creation from last week probably is one of the best creations I have installed for Starfield so far.

[sleek cliff]

To be fair, that’s kind of the BGS formula, follow the main plot for a little while then get sidetracked

[sharp lynx]

But it makes sense everywhere but with nate and nora

[sleek cliff]

Because apparently being a one man construction company and door to door hit man is their full job

[sharp lynx]

I can see an 18 year old vault dweller derping around the wastland tying to find their father

a dang x infantry soldier and lawyer would absolutely not

[sleek cliff]

I know I glaze NV a lot, but that’s what I appreciate about the courier, brother isn’t looking for lost kin, he’s looking to put a BULLET in someone.

The LW makes sense too, they NEED to find James.

Nate/Nora “hey look, free real estate!”

[untold field]

We are so much in agreement tonight 😄
People are often criticizing Starfields main quest and I often hear "the Vanguard questline should be the main questline" but I couldn't disagree more. I LOVE how the main quest has no urgency at all. You are an explorer. You explore the galaxy at your own pace. You might stumble over things that require some urgency and you will mostly do these quests at that moment because they feel urgent and you know the main quest can wait.

It's beautiful. And it's a neat way to do the "explore the game at your own pace" formula.

Fallout 4 on the other hand... Why would you waste any moment without looking for your son? It does not make any sense. In my recent playthroughs, I always roleplay that my character actually doesnt get all the intel they need to find Shaun from the main questline, so they have to do sidequests and rebuilding and stuff to gather intel from the world. That would have been a nice game mechanic btw imo. Like an intel meter that you can fill up and that unlocks new main quests for every milestone. But that does not fit with the "do everything whenever you want" formula anymore. And thats why urgency in the main quest of a Bethesda game is not a good idea.

[sleek cliff]

The Vanguard questline was a waste of time in my eyes.

[torpid badger]

yeah i do like that part re the main quest at your own pace, that is a good concept

[sharp lynx]

that's how I felt most of fallout 4 "why am I doing this?" Why am I not looking for my kid."

those are fun ideas!

[untold field]

Also the world should react to how you behave imo. I always wished that NPCs would acknowledge if you waste time. Like one example in Fallout 4 - Paladin Danse tells you he will wait inside the Police Station for you. No matter if you follow him instantly or do 1000 hours of others quest before, he will always act like he left you outside just seconds ago.

And quests with urgency should change if you dont do them instantly. They should evolve. If there is a big evil and you dont hurry to fight them, they should become bigger, more powerful etc. If a story is about someone conquering the land they should actually conquer more regions if you waste time. Etc. etc.

[sleek cliff]

Then you find out your kid is a psychopath and you think “damn, this boy ain’t right”

[untold field]

Shouldn't have wasted 60 years or so to find them

[sharp lynx]

they can fix that by a timer to trip quest fail

[sleek cliff]

Funny thing is, I accidentally blew Shaun’s degenerate Brains out on my very first play through

[sharp lynx]

if I was setting that up I'd do a force autosave run then have the timer count down to 10 and fail the quest so people have less of a chance to permanently fail loop the main story.

[sleek cliff]

More key deaths would’ve been fun

[sharp lynx]

being able to remove some of the more annoying npcs would've been nice

Like bruh, I do not care about all the people Gravy brought with him

[sleek cliff]

For example, If you started Sysdef but ignored them they end up attacking and getting annihilated anyways

[jolly torrent]

I really, really wish Beth would fix the save bloat glitch and all of its annoying symptoms leading up to the save bloat glitch finally happening. An hour and a half worth of play time down the drain.

[jolly torrent]

Ehhhh….perspectives and roleplay. Lol.

Lol. Okay. First order of business after leaving the office tomorrow is getting a WiFi extension device with an Ethernet port to directly connect to my Xbox Series X since Beth games + Xbox Series X = crashing my WiFi card in my Xbox for some reason.

Here’s to another hour wasted trying to reestablish a connection to my home WiFi

[nimble latch]

I don't think people realise that you can't just walk for hundreds of miles killing everything in your path without eating or sleeping just because your son was kidnapped lol

It would likely take weeks to get from sanctuary to diamond city

[jolly torrent]

Dazra is so beautiful. And I may have to start a new game this weekend. Smh.

[jolly torrent]

Sweet!!!!

[ocean marten]

Anyone else have the same issue with Lost Colonies: Vesta Prime where you lose control and can’t move your character after you talk to the mayor?

[sly ocean]

It might be worth asking @hasty sky to look into it.

[dusk steeple]

Honestly should the UC military have a more rugged appearance or nah? And if so what would the lore reason be behind it?

[hasty sky]

I'm working on a fix, but the easy solution is to dismiss any companions beforehand, or bring Sarah along until you get past that scene

[ocean marten]

Dismissed my follower and it worked. Thank you for that!

[jolly torrent]

Honestly, I think they should be all uniform and have a detailed and specific look. As prior service myself, I don’t think the military will ever start looking rugged for anything, especially after that crazy behind speech they just got. Makes me so glad I’m not in the Army anymore.

Anyway, uniformity is a big thing in the military, so “going rogue” and creating your “own style” is heavily frowned upon and can lead people into serious trouble. It is sort of like a gang in a sense. You never see gang members wearing other colors.

[dusk steeple]

I mean rugged as in like BDUs that make them more utilitarian in appearance rather than the more sophisticated and fancy uniforms they have in game.

[jolly torrent]

DM me a pic or what your vision is and I’ll tell you if it’s ever going to go that route. Lol. The military generally never show up looking ate up.

[dusk steeple]

Okay. So you know how the uniforms of the UC are this:

[jolly torrent]

@dusk steeple I mean, at the end of the day, it’s your mod, but I’m just throwing that out there. Lol.

[jolly torrent]

Yes….

[dusk steeple]

When I mean rugged looking, I mean like BDU with combat gear or tactical stuff. Something that screams in the field and ready.

[jolly torrent]

Which is why I have MonkeyChief’s UC Military mod installed because the vanilla UC military uniforms are absolute garbage.

[jolly torrent]

Okay. I get what you’re saying now. Lol

[dusk steeple]

Yeah. You know how colonial marines and the halo marines in the first and 3rd games are. Stuff like that

[jolly torrent]

I don’t know what I would do without MonkeyChief’s UC Military uniforms overhaul mods.

[jolly torrent]

Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. I’m with it.

[jolly torrent]

I’m actually very interested to see what you come up with.

[dusk steeple]

I guess I’m trying to figure out if the UC should have that more rugged style or not and if for either way, then why?

I have no modding experience unfortunately or the ability to do so. I’m more of a brainstormer and writer if anything. I was gathering opinions to see what folks thought of the idea.

As well as start working out some concepts if I can draw worth a darn

[jolly torrent]

If you can come up with a more combat ready version, than I would be forever grateful. I’m still trying to get a modder to buff up the UC outfits damage resistance.

Or at least allow the end user to do it via a spacesuit/industrial workbench.

[dusk steeple]

Eh. Who knows? Granted I doubt I can mod much since I have zero experience or the computer to do so. I might cause more damage than good knowing my luck lol

[jolly torrent]

That’s me. Lol

[jolly torrent]

So you’re in good company. I don’t think I’ve seen you around here, so welcome to the dark side.

[ocean marten]

I think the appearance of the UC is an intentional thing. The whole ruff and gruff angle is mainly reserved for the Freestar.

Outside of the whole cowboys vibe, Freestar is meant to be a more freeform “arm yourself” sort of large scale militia. Essentially a confederacy of multiple regional counties led by large communities mostly propped up by corporations. Compared to the UC the governments focus on dedicated routine policing, while actual “military” action is a whole different, more open culture.

While the UC is much more cleanly and organized, focused on standardized equipment and regulation across the board; they are the pencil pusher faction after all.

Wulffy’s UC and Freestar paid mods do a great job at portraying this. The Freestar space gear can be completely different models of spacesuits depending on the soldier’s branch, station, and rank, while the UC still have basically all their vanilla spacesuits, just much more customized with different camos and insignias for branches and divisions.

[ocean marten]

@hasty sky A few issues I’ve had with the Vesta creation so far:

1. The whole frozen issue which is easily avoided that was mentioned earlier
2. The NPC for Root Rot seems to have clipped through a wall. I’m not seeing any room to get to where they are after checking for around 20 minutes
3. At the ||mine where Ironhand is hiding|| enemies seem to spawn across a huge variety of levels. I was level 18 and noticed enemies at level 16, 28, 42, and 72, and even all the way to level 94. In fact the level 90 enemies were the most common.
4. Not so much a glitch but more a design choice, at the part in the vents for Dusted I have absolutely no clue how to progress. The chart on the wall is hard to tell what it means or what it wants to do, and just following the pattern seems to just always fail.

I love the creation just like the last Lost Colonies, but these issues are a bit more pronounced than the ones before. Certainly feels much bigger and more ambitious compared to the stuff at Tirawa.

[hasty sky]

Ben should be standing on a rock in the middle of the cave. If he isn't, then something went wrong and you'll need to reload a save. Not sure what would cause that. I'll look into it

Most enemies should be around level 25. But there are alot of factors that could affect that. Overhaul mods for example

Yeah that was meant to be a somewhat tricky puzzle by design. You can totally fail it and move on with the mod. The answer is actually on the panel labeled FANS. You just read it left to right

Happy you're enjoying it 🫶

[ocean marten]

Oh the issue wasn’t that guy, it was actually just the NPC right before you find him. Actually just found the NPC to get the quest going to find him right before you pinged, for some reason the quest marker wasn’t directly on her.

[hasty sky]

Yeah she can be tricky to track down. In my testing she never moves from her office way up top

[ocean marten]

Just got the vent thing done, finally understood what you meant by left to right. Also my fault since I kept assuming power instead of fans for some reason. Thank you though.

I don’t have any NPC level overhauls or combat overhauls though, so I do think the NPC levels might be a bit all over the place.

None of the other NPCs in this or the other Lost Colony mod had that issue, so it might just be that part.

[hasty sky]

Interesting. Never heard it reported before. I'll see what I can do for the next update 👌

[ocean marten]

They did use the gear from Zone’s Spacer overhaul though, so if anything were to effect Spacers it would effect them.

[hasty sky]

Ah, could be. They are an offshoot of the spacer faction

[ocean marten]

Haven’t had this issue with any other mod that reuses Spacers though. I’m looking through my LO and I don’t have anything I can think would be impacting it.

It didn’t have too much of a difference gameplay wise, enemies were just a bit more bullet spongey is all.

But it’s just Spacers so it isn’t much. Just felt like pointing it out.

[hasty sky]

Appreciate it. I'll take a look when I get a chance 🙏

[ocean marten]

Probably my favorite ending in a quest mod for Starfield yet.

[neat crow]

what mod is that?

[ocean marten]

Lost Colonies - Vesta

[neat crow]

[sleek cliff]

👀

Vesta eh?

Here I go buyin’ again.

[boreal osprey]

Well look at their culture as whole. Does New Atlatis/UC space look rugged? As I'm designing arsenal expansions. I keep in mind who they're for and what their style is.

[amber sparrow]

I like how down to earth the mod creator for Vesta is. I've played their other mods and it's nice that it's always simple but well told stories

[sleek cliff]

Agree

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/cbaa41da-25ce-4381-afcf-567c08bb5b08/UC_Military_Overhaul__All_In_One

I like to use this for My UC restyle whereas I think Wulfy's Freestar one hits the mark perfectly for the Freestar Collective

[dusk steeple]

Honesty I get what they were going for. I just wanna experiment and go for a more gritty world or experience somewhat like the aliens universe

[jolly torrent]

Yup. I use this as well. Love this mod.

[lyric finch]

I much prefer the division camo and patterns for the UC and then Wulfy has different silhouette armours so you can really clearly see who is what faction

Because if so, I got a question for them

[sleek cliff]

@crisp haven

[dusk steeple]

You didn't need to ping them lol

I can wait lol

[sleek cliff]

WHOOPS, well, can’t take it back now.

[dusk steeple]

RIP

if they get mad, it's on you lol

[lyric finch]

I'm sure they won't 🙂 they're a good'n

[sleek cliff]

Nah, I know wulfy, Hims is cool.

[crisp haven]

What's up

[dusk steeple]

Howdy. I was curious to know what inspired some of the outfits and designs for both your UC stuff and Freestar.

[crisp haven]

Someone wanted an NCR Ranger outfit, so I made one out of the outfit piece available. So I made that a Ranger outfit.

The UC stuff was pulled from in-game posters.

A lot of the kitbashes are made of what I find to work.

[lyric finch]

'someone'

🤣

[dusk steeple]

Do you have any plans in relation to kitbashes for UC outfits/apparel or any future concepts in mind? Also a silly and personal question from me but have you ever considered making retextures of the blue collar off work hat?

[sleek cliff]

👀

Damn suit looks cool as hell while I’m wiping out spacer nests

[crisp haven]

I will contine to add to all the Creations that fall under my SVSE Collection, mostly skins or some custom geometry here or there. I have a ton of kitbash suits as part of SVSE and I am doing a big round of updates this month to all those Creations. I am working on a larger Creation where I want to customize all the possible companions with unique outfits/Spacesuits/skins, some of which will be new others pulled from existing assets. Then I hjave a second Creation that adds in more spacesuit retextures, a lot more outfits, both retextures and kitbashes and also tweak smalle factions like SSO, Eclipse,Reliant Medical, Ryujin and so on. I am not quite sure at the moment how to organize so I am just making assets. I would prefer to make a single mod for everything but I do not want a single mod entangling itself too deep. FC/UC was originally going to be a single mod, but I split it when I realized some people don't care about one faction or another.

Substance Painter and Blender are the fun part. It starts becoming a job when I have to open the CK. For other authors, it is the other way around.

Do you have a picture of the blue collar work hat? I don't know what that is

[dusk steeple]

This hat

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/cancelada-parar-de-falar-não-quero-ver-para-chapéu-gif-17226605

[marsh grotto]

https://tenor.com/view/tapsi-sapka-gif-24514708

[dusk steeple]

What?

You could totally use it as a military utility cover. Don’t tell me it don’t remind y’all of this

[lyric finch]

Like the hat Captain Cutter wears

[dusk steeple]

Sergeant Johnson as well but yeah

Actually not cutters hat. That’s a bit different

This is more like Johnson’s

[sleek jetty]

Anyone know how to edit an NPCs weight in the creation kit? I want to make a fat NPC but I can’t seem to find where to edit in the NPC view.

[sleek cliff]

Too soon

https://tenor.com/view/halo-halo-johnson-what-the-ladies-like-i-know-what-the-ladies-like-gif-15782897

[dusk steeple]

But you see what I mean about the hat right?

[sleek cliff]

Oh, yeah, definitely

Johnson knew how to set the tone

[frank sparrow]

I think it's the first tab. Go all the way to the left and should be three scales in the top right.

[dusk steeple]

Is Starfield stable to edit an entire planet for a large mod or no?

[safe sorrel]

Currently I don’t believe so no

[dusk steeple]

Huh. So can’t make an entire city or cities and such on one?

[safe sorrel]

Oh yeah that kind of thing, I thought you meant make an entire planet from scratch

[crisp haven]

I dont recall ever seeing that hat before. Is it basegame? If it's in the basegame I can find it and play with it

[dusk steeple]

It’s in the base game

It’s full name is Blue Collar Offwork Hat

The ID is 00246B30

I wonder if edits can be made to it tho.

[icy bramble]

After testing for a while this mod, I must say its amazing! Thank you so much @mystic fox for this. Seeing more enemy face variety is refreshing! So, so, glad for this. I am aware that you will do the same for the Ecliptic too? It will be really nice if you could add this variety to the Syndicate npcs too. Amazing work!

[dusk steeple]

But hey, if it can be edited and even modified or kitbashed, I’d love to see it in all the skin packs or even featured as more headgear options with possible additions like emblems, radio headsets or other things you could come up with.

[crisp haven]

Yea, I can add it during an update. I have just never seen that hat. I thought I had gone through them all. No worries

[dusk steeple]

It’s good.

[crisp haven]

If anyone wants to see how I make skins, now is the time! https://youtube.com/live/XK5ZPjQGKx4?feature=share

[icy bramble]

Love your skins — absolutely stunning work, Wulfy!
I especially loved the Freestar Collective and UC overhauls, particularly because the Freestar NPC guards now wear helmets, which really helps reduce the repetition of faces and adds more immersion.

[jolly torrent]

You know how to use Blender, bro?

[crisp haven]

enough to be dangerous

I must confess the SUbstabnce Painter stuff does look boring to watch

[icy bramble]

Nah, man. It's incredible

[jolly torrent]

Really???

[tender stump]

@vagrant trench please speak to Alana, this behavior is completely inappropriate

[mystic fox]

I am actually close to adding those new ecliptic faces I may add one or two to the syndicate but I don’t want to bloat the size of the mod too much

[vagrant trench]

She clearly just needed some alone time.

[dusk steeple]

Cool. Let me know if you come up with some good kitbashes or new styles with it. I would love to see it.

[last ledge]

@fickle plover Hey, not sure if this is the correct way to reach out - I think my DMs are open in case you want to shift it there, but I found a bug in your mod "Realistic Missiles & Enhanced Damage"
the challenge of the altered perk does not progress when dealing missile damage, making it impossible to get perk tier 2 and beyond

[ocean marten]

@crisp haven You mentioned you’d be updating your existing creations down the line. Are you possibly planning on standardizing the stats of the armor across each creation?

The UC and Freestar ones feel more balanced around ordinary suits of armor in game while the rest of the kitbash sets are much stronger and outclass most of the vanilla suits. It’s a little weird to see spacers consistently have better armor than the militaries.

[icy bramble]

Sounds perfect ❤️

[fickle plover]

@last ledge hey yeah I'd prefer DMs as it would just be easier to keep track of all the reports and not referring back to here and it just getting lost. I was informed a while back ago of issues with the perks not progressing I haven't had a chance to look into it I've been kind of overwhelmed with real life issues. Being a single parent of two and juggling it work and personal life on top of that doesn't leave much time for gaming anymore or fixing mods. If you could it would be a big help if you could tell me if you're just able to put perk points into the skill maybe I accidentally deleted perk progression but might still be able to put a perk point into the skill.

[marsh grotto]

Really Not liking the triangle, square part of your new mod, needs some adjustment please.

[crisp haven]

I am pretty sure all the kitbash suits use the Mark I as a stats base so that isn't surprising. The fact is, there is no way to please everyone. I have receieved complaints they are too weak and I have been told they are too strong. This was a big issue when Faction's and Encounters was released and the new factions were stomping some players based on how I had them geared. That being said, I can always give it all a look.

[vagrant trench]

Can't catch them in time? Are you using your suit booster? You can also use Starborn powers if you have them. Earth Bound and Phased Time should help. Staying close to Quinn between rounds I find makes it easier too.

[sharp lynx]

make them both too strong and too weak so you can make every equally unhappy

🎉

I joke

[boreal osprey]

You can. It's just not as a simple and dragging and dropping assets in

[sleek cliff]

[boreal osprey]

I can't quite tell because of the quality. But what do you import into SP? Is it just the mesh, colour map and normals?

[sleek cliff]

Whenever I think of something that ruins everybody’s day, I think of the Railroad.

[boreal osprey]

Is that from FO4 or something?

[sleek cliff]

yep, they’re easily in the top 5 worst factions.

[boreal osprey]

Haven't played it yet so I wouldn't know XD But I'll keep it in mind when I do

[sleek cliff]

Be prepared for JANK

[crisp haven]

Yes. Geometry needs to be converted from FBX to OBJ (I think SP can import FBX, but it didn't work for me) or if you pull it from the archives it needs to be converted from .mesh to OBJ. Maps need to be converted to JPEG/PNG and the normals need to have their blue amped to max to look right. You can 100% go without normals if you are doing things like adding decals. Decalas should be in PNG format for the alpha channel

My monitor is 5120x1440 and it exceeds the max bitrate of youtube of 3440x1440. In the future I can just make the window smaller.

[tender stump]

I run the same resolution, and I gave up on trying to make any streaming experience of fullscreen usable. I just run anything I'm streaming in 2560x1440 in the middle now.

[dire prawn]

I've been greatly enjoying Farseer so far, but I ran into a brick wall with the triangles and squares!!

[dire prawn]

@vagrant trench I managed to get past it by saving every few successful shapes. 😆

[mystic fox]

I'll post here when its updated with new faces should be sometime this week

[sleek cliff]

It’s so weird how mods that add to earth can break Unearthed

[tender stump]

"can" you mean there's one that didn't?

[marsh grotto]

I managed to get it with Phased Time starborn power

[last ledge]

Well, remembering how touchy some of Skyrims main quest scripting was, I am not at all surprised Earth is touchy in Starfield

[dire prawn]

Yeah I didn’t have that one and I couldn’t add via console command either. 😆 No worries though. Fun mod.

[untold field]

Ive seen Crimson struggle on this as well and I was very surprised. The moment I understood I don't have to leave the room and go for the shapes I passed on the way it was ok to do.

||Still wished the MA would have used Starborn stuff instead of pushing into the alien direction again||

[vagrant trench]

😄 Good on ya! Update is on the way to bump up the timeout a bit.

[crisp haven]

Okay, would a retextured Ranger spacesuit (No badge) be receieved amongst you all being found on NPC's and spacers you encounter

screw it imma do it

[untold field]

@vagrant trench just out of curiosity are all the POIs and stuff reused assets or is there some original stuff in it? I could imagine the asteroid being original?

[vagrant trench]

It’s mostly new textures on existing meshes, plus some unused assets from the base game. The asteroid was built with existing cave meshes.

[untold field]

Nice

Almost fooled me for the big POI but when I returned to the landing zone I recognised the layout 😅

Very cleverly used without the surrounding ice/water though, looks pretty impressive on the map

But there is one floating element left that has probably been overlooked in development.

[bright onyx]

I absolutely love the mod, but yea I also spent 25 solid minutes doing that puzzle because I didn't have enough quantum essence for phase times. 3 seconds felt too short to me, 5 seconds wouldve been much more manageable especially with the restarts. Still A++ overall.

[nimble latch]

Yeah need to stop alien stuff, they're not in starfield

[sleek cliff]

Hard agree.

It was fun at first

Now? I’d like things to be a little more grounded

[normal steeple]

Y'all just not liking the premise of Star Wars like bipedal intelligent aliens in SF? Terrormorphs and other 'alien' animal likes could exhibit high intelligence potential adversaries imo

[sleek cliff]

Maybe after 1 or 2 million years of evolution

[amber sparrow]

I'd be fine with aliens in the setting but the whole "secret society keeping aliens a secret" is a very overused trope in sci-fi stuff that it doesn't do much. Alien stuff would also be really hard for modders because any first contact would be massively big deal that'd be hard to hide

It'd have to be something Bethesda themselves would do

[dire prawn]

Wait, you can skip the shapes?

[dire prawn]

That would be great!

[dire prawn]

Then don't buy the mod.

[untold field]

Weird comment, I did not see a mention of alien stuff on any of the MAs creation pages 🤔

[sleek cliff]

If they ever come back.

[sleek cliff]

Man, I hate that I lost my Starfruit Farm.

[hoary lava]

I don't know what they are referencing, MA hasn't created anything Alien related to my knowledge... seems to be some confusion.

[warm bolt]

Terrain export question

Assuming i am using al vanilla assets but made a custom terrain landscape cut, once I export the terrain, I do not need to re-export it again just because I add structures to the worldspace or move the position slightly on the planet correct? or do you need to re-export and repack every time after saving?

[warm bolt]

I would guess, and could be completely wrong, that they are referring to AlmightySE's The Veil and Beyond the Veil ancient civilization plot lines.

[neat crow]

Landscape export is literally only landscape, aka the terrain and terrain textures. Everything else is not related!

[warm bolt]

thanks, i was hoping that! but 'easy' is usaully not the right answer in ck it seems so i was questioning myself

[untold field]

As far as I remember at least four of their questlines have alien stuff.

Starfield humans are BARELY intelligent as it is

[nimble latch]

Animals are fine and can be super smart, just look at chimps or octopus. It's the 'aliens' that are just humans with a different head that's unrealistic

[nimble latch]

Lol

Also, you're replying to me?

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/dio-jojo-youre-approaching-me-jojos-bizarre-adventure-gif-14705619

[untold field]

Noted, thx

[dire prawn]

I think there is some sort of misunderstanding here. If you want to clear it up, I'm open to it. If not, fine by me.

[untold field]

AlmightySE does not clarify on their creation pages that the quest is about alien stuff. How is someone who doesn't want it in their game supposed to know that the quest is not for them then?

So telling someone the solution is to "not buy it" is very weird when they cannot know that it is not for them without buying. Especially with quest mods many people want to go in blindly to not ruin any of the experience.

[dire prawn]

Are mod authors supposed to add tags for every element that some people don't like? Aliens, whatever? Maybe ask somewhere like https://www.reddit.com/r/StarfieldModFeedback/comments/1o0pfpg/farseer/ and then see what people say?

[kindred ferry]

Reminder for everyone to be respectful of each other as mentioned in #rules

[untold field]

Full of spoilers. And then you have to decide if you risk reading spoilers to eventually find the information you are looking for.

[lyric finch]

Meh I can see both sides for this argument

One hand you wouldn't wanna post what the quest/mod is about because spoilers but same time would be nice to have an idea so you can decide if it's what you want or not

[dire prawn]

So drop a question in r/starfieldmods and ask your question? Expecting devs to anticipate all the issues someone might have with their mod is unreasonable. That's why we have reviews. Just my opinion.

[untold field]

Imo, including alien stuff is quite big of a thing. Of course we do not have confirmation of that yet but everything points to the fact that Bethesda created a world without sentient aliens. The most intelligent creatures probably being the terrormorphs. I think its fine if yoh make mods that add aliens but if they are paid creations there should be a hint of that in the description. Just my 2 cents. You don't need to agree.

Also nobody talks about "all the issues" but this is not the first time this has come up with their mods so don't act as if not a lot of people already criticised it.

[dire prawn]

I try to keep up with SF, but apologies if I'm not paying attention to the latest "aliens in mods" drama. 😆

[untold field]

Also we dont have reviews. We have a user made review subreddit. That has less than 1000 followers if I saw correctly. Reddit is not as widely used as you seem to think.

[graceful sinew]

I watched part of a playthrough and some voices seemed AI generated 🤷‍♂️

Robotic

[untold field]

I see now what Random Show was talking about though. I am not going to go further with this pointless discussion as your are clearly NOT actually willing to see any reason.

[uncut cedar]

let's leave it at this.

[dire prawn]

I noticed that too, which is weird because @vagrant trench names the voice actors in the teaser video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlkDhZek12s

[untold field]

Yeah the main characters voice was super monotonous, I also recognised that. At first I wondered if that was going to be a story point but I guess it's just not the best voice acting.

[graceful sinew]

Yeah, it’s done in a way which it would be hard for a human to talk like… it’s either aliens or AI 🙂

[lyric finch]

Did make me wonder if it might be worth having a opt in tag and channel to volunteer as a voice actor so mod authors can have the option to deliver the best version of their mod idea

[untold field]

The voice audio is mostly fine though so that is already more than with several other paid quest mods.

It's a topic I am very critical about. We have free mods with excellent voice acting and voice audio quality so I am not going to give paid creations a pass when the quality is not at least on par with vanilla.

On that note, if you haven't yet, you should definitely try Legacy's End Wild Card for your next SysDef/CrimsonFleet playthrough

[icy bramble]

Talking about excelent voice acting... The Legacy of Mantis, the voice acting is incredible

[untold field]

Thanks for the reminder this is still on my to do list 😅

[icy bramble]

It’s definitely something else. Really. It’s one of those examples of how tiny things, when well made and down to earth, can be essential.

[untold field]

I am planning to do a combined stream of Legacy of the Mantis, Mantle of the Mantis and Bubs Crossbow. Feel like that could turn out nice.

[icy bramble]

Woooow

[warm bolt]

True. Its small, but afaik the ony all paid creations review option (so its the worst option, except for all the others (oh wait..) /s.

[lyric finch]

Hmm

[lyric finch]

What you cooking up here??

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/hunger-games-katniss-everdeen-jennifer-lawrence-volunteer-tribute-gif-4254905

[sleek cliff]

The Legacy…. of The Legacy?

👀

[sharp lynx]

Late to the party but, if you go to the movies, you buy a ticket right? You think the person there at the front desk is going to tell you the whole premise of the film? Or do you think the producer is going to do that?

If you didn't like the film, that's just how it is

I don't think a mod author should lay out the entire plot of their mod in their description if they're aiming to craft an experience and narrative they want people to, ya know, experience.

[sleek cliff]

I’d be mad if someone told me the plot to a movie.

[neat crow]

Hi TG!

[sleek cliff]

Thats Wikipedia’s job damn it.

[nimble latch]

Disagree

[sleek cliff]

About Wikipedia?

[nimble latch]

It breaks the lore heavily, should be included in the description since you're paying for it

[untold field]

If I buy a ticket to a Star Wars movie I know there wont be Star Trek in it. If Star Trek is in my Star Wars movie I will be pissed.

[neat crow]

Does it have a Lore Friendly tag? No

Don't expect it to be Lore Friendly then

[nimble latch]

Shouldn't be sold by bethesda if it's against the lore

[neat crow]

That's why we have tags

[sleek cliff]

Maybe I’m just dumb? But what is the issue?

[neat crow]

Mods don't have to be lore friendly nor are they cannon in any form

[neat crow]

Aliens, basically. Some people don't like that, which is fine in itself.

[sleek cliff]

I mean, aliens in Starfield ain’t my cup of tea, but if someone else wants that, they should go for it.

[nimble latch]

Mods are free, if Bethesda is selling it then it's dlc, so it should comply with the standards of the game

[neat crow]

Oh no, it's not a DLC

[sleek cliff]

Can’t hear you over TG’s Celestial Forge.

[nimble latch]

It's downloadable content sold by bethesda

[ocean marten]

Everbright does the whole alien thing a little better since it’s more ambiguous.

[subtle jungle]

Sort of yes, sort of no. This is actually what a lot of people think though and leads to issues. Unless it has the Gear symbol, it isn't content from Bethesda. It's content from a 3rd party, and sold in their store.

[ocean marten]

Like I can easily see them as being Starborn who are so full of themselves they forgot their own humanity and saw themselves as something more.

[sleek cliff]

I wish Everbright’s companion had pillow talk like the main companions

[nimble latch]

The original creations system had rules that were abided by, this new era is just anything goes

[neat crow]

I don't really understand the whole issue anyways, there's a Lore Friendly tag - if a mod doesn't has that tag, just don't expect it to be lore friendly in any way

[nimble latch]

Won't be paying for it anyway

[neat crow]

It's not that deep really imo

[untold field]

I think there is a difference between lore friendly, not lore friendly and "I'll add something that completely breaks the lore"

Just my opinion

[nimble latch]

Correct

[neat crow]

If it's not lore friendly it's not lore friendly, there aren't layers to it

[sleek cliff]

I’m out here running around in N7 armor and using a fallout gun, Canon went out the window for me a long time ago.

[untold field]

That is absolutely not true

[neat crow]

It either is or it is not

[ocean marten]

You know I’m surprised we have virtually no mods that didn’t, you know, actually add aliens yet.

[nimble latch]

Now that's not true

[ocean marten]

The only ones we’ve had are just stuff from other IPs.

[untold field]

The Star Wars mods do add aliens

[ocean marten]

Nobody has tried to make sentient aliens as things that are just casually and normally around that aren’t from some other franchise.

[sleek cliff]

I just want my Quarian’s

[sharp lynx]

I think people should have the creative liberty and freedom to express that creativeness and I don't think they should be hindered or subjected to anything different just because of that or just because a few people are extreme on their lore friendly purest views. You cannot make everyone happy.

[ocean marten]

You’re all thinking other franchises again. I’m just thinking original sentient aliens. Despite how divisive Seer’s stuff can be with that, they’re kind of the only one doing that.

[untold field]

Nobody says that, we just want to be warned before we spend our money

[nimble latch]

The original creation system was entirely lore friendly

[neat crow]

Yeah I'm not about to explain the entire plot of my mods in the description when I'm trying to tell a story.

[subtle jungle]

The issue is, some people want a little more information on products they are spending money on. I see both sides of the conversation. VCs are a market product, paid for. I'm not really sure myself what the perfect description recipe is because some folks are content just grabbing the Mac n Cheese. Other folks wanna know exactly what's in it. Tags don't exactly appease those customers.

[ocean marten]

I feel like Bethesda should try and have a more open refund system with how easy it is for people to be disappointed with community Creations.

[sharp lynx]

When your entire plot is x, and it's set as the entire premise of your plot, then telling people is spoiling your entire plot

[nimble latch]

There's 0 refunds it's crazy

[subtle jungle]

I don't think anyone is expect entire plots or major spoilers, but at the same time I say this, there is probably people who would like that.

[neat crow]

Contact BGS support and you get your credits back

[nimble latch]

Credits aren't real

Being offered a different product isn't a refund

[ocean marten]

Do it like Fortnite where you get a refund token every X months to use on a creation purchased in the last 30 days. The money is just put back into the credit system anyway, it’s not like it goes back to your bank account.

[sleek cliff]

Why can’t we all just be friends?

[neat crow]

You aren't getting your real money for any virtual currency back, that's just not how it works - not here, and not in other games

[ocean marten]

No I want to fight over my silly game!!!

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-emoji-dies-gif-21956120

[cold vault]

Is everyone being nice in here?

[sharp lynx]

Potato!

[sleek cliff]

I mean, I’m a minority and I’m in the minority, I think I’d prefer credits back honestly

[thick plaza]

Just consume and buy product. no questions.

[subtle jungle]

Honestly, I don't know. Tone gets lost through text, but it seems civil. Lol.

[sleek cliff]

Ish

[subtle jungle]

I'm offended.

[sleek cliff]

Hi offended, I’m scarlet.

[ocean marten]

I don’t need the money back, it’d just be nice to revoke ownership of 1 creation for the credit back maybe once or twice a year.

[nimble latch]

Disagreeing with people I actually really like over some fundamental issues

[sharp lynx]

That's the glory of opinion and free thinking

[ocean marten]

From what I’ve heard Bethesda is very lax and helpful with refunds and issues on customer support, but I’d like to not have to bother an employee over a paid creation being broken.

[sleek cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/rise-and-shine-its-time-to-save-democracy-democracy-save-it’s-time-gif-2314570077252610582

[sharp lynx]

I think this whole thing is a complete non issues cause if you are so concerned about x, the always online information sphere that is the Internet will 100% have a full review of whatever x product you are looking to buy.

[untold field]

If you make your whole plot about breaking the freaking lore then sorry its your own fault if you need to spoil some of it to prevent people from being angry.

You really want to tell me I should trust Bethesda QA that if they don't add the lore friendly tag I am good to go? The same Bethesda QA that let's mods through thag crash you game or dont work at all?

And the what about something like this: https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/379165ca-8f77-42b0-b908-70b74604a207/ArmaTech___M18S

It does not have the lore friendly tag, is it not lore friendly now? As far as I know its a modern weapon so it should exist in Starfield. It doesn't break with the lore.

Also by your logic if a quest mod does not have the lore friendly tag it would also be a spoiler then?

I feel like a tag that indicates the opposite of lore friendly would be a good solution. The absence of a lore friendly tag doesn't automatically mean lore breaking in my books.

[untold field]

Who says we are not friends just we have different opinions in a discussion lol.

[neat crow]

ehhh if a tag isn't there expect the opposite of it, at least that's my thinking.

[sleek cliff]

I was just joking.

I tend to do that too much

[untold field]

You should have marked that. Where was your non serious tag?

< this is mine btw

[sharp lynx]

Lol that's the Orwellien future I wanna see

[subtle jungle]

Once again I don't think the entire plot needs to be spoiled, but I can see where something as simple as "This explores themes not currently explored in the Vanilla game." Now, as I type this I also realize that also won't be enough for folks or will be called "Too vague" or something.

[nimble latch]

Does watchtower have a lore friendly tag? I feel like it's not necessarily lore friendly but everything is done in such a way that I feel like it fits the game world

[sharp lynx]

I think that's understandable

[sleek cliff]

this is Mine

[neat crow]

Yeah, there is no perfect solution. Someone will always be unhappy with it, such are humans.

[sharp lynx]

Watchtower is 100% not lore friendly lol

[untold field]

Might be but I guess that would be the crowd who looks it up online? I feel for someone who doesn't want to look up stuff to go as blind as possible your suggestion would work fine.

[kindred ferry]

I didn't know the was named Mike but I will carry this knowledge with me forever.

[sharp lynx]

But then again, what is, in a game with direct examples of multiverses

[sleek cliff]

God, by no means.

[untold field]

But it has the lore friendly tag

[sleek cliff]

[cold vault]

^mike

[sharp lynx]

Everything can be hand waved as, this just isn't the I universe you're from

[untold field]

Are you saying that tag is worth nothing?

Because then you are contradicting yourself

[sharp lynx]

I personally don't care about tags at all lol

[untold field]

Its fine that you dont care but not everything is about you lol

[sharp lynx]

I said, look up a review of the mod if you're so worried, that's my point

[sleek cliff]

Nothing is real, Everything is permitted.

[untold field]

And we already talked about why that isn't the solution for the problem

[cold vault]

Okay okay, let's keep the conversation respectful please.

[sleek cliff]

Oh, there’s a solution all right.

[neat crow]

Well, there is no real solution as we established

[sleek cliff]

WAR, place your bets!

[cold vault]

I miss Mike.

[subtle jungle]

I think the point trying to be made is. Some folks said "Tags" and someone else is pointing out the tags are at the discretion of the maker. So some folks say something isn't lore friendly and it totally could be vanilla+ but also someone could say something is lore friendly and it's absolutely just crazy off the rails. Again I understand why someone paying money would like a little more of a heads up for something they are purchasing. VCs are a product.

[kindred ferry]

Don't worry, he's right here

[sleek cliff]

The Tank/Nem alliance would go hard.

[sharp lynx]

It's all ambiguous

[untold field]

I agree, there might not be a perfect solution but some are better than others.

Now our opinions are quite divided over what is better but it is like that sometimes 😅

[sleek cliff]

Like if the brotherhood teamed up with the NCR

[sharp lynx]

This is the most realistic, I like this

[subtle jungle]

I think the best solution is just stating something like "This will explore elements outside of the Vanilla experience." Or something along those lines.

[sleek cliff]

Or the NTR in this case.

[untold field]

Again, I agree with this take

[sleek cliff]

New Tank Republic

[sharp lynx]

The problem with that one tho spawn is 0 people read anything

[untold field]

Well that is on them then

[subtle jungle]

True, but that also just means it's more their issue and less the posters issue.

[sharp lynx]

But, honestly if it's there and you failed to read it it's on you

[subtle jungle]

Exactly.

[neat crow]

Nah that's not true, enough people read stuff - just the ones who don't are usually the ones being whiny about it online.

[subtle jungle]

As long as it's there is what matters.

[sleek cliff]

I wish I knew how to read.

[kindred ferry]

https://tenor.com/view/reading-sign-cant-stop-me-no-one-can-stop-me-gif-13921932

[untold field]

I worked in customer service for years and I was responsible for our communication with the costumers. One of the main points was "It is not important if the customer read the information, as long as it was there we can say it was there and dont take the blame. If it was not there its our fault no matter what"

[sharp lynx]

[subtle jungle]

The thing with it is. Yes. Some folks won't read, but others will. If information isn't there. You have twice as many people complaining. One simple line of text can cut down on a large amount of complaints.

[sharp lynx]

And the people who do are the real ones

[untold field]

[sleek cliff]

Yeah, nah, read that pretty quick.

[neat crow]

Well one could think that means we're all normal but I think that just means we're all crazy

[sleek cliff]

It’s possible, we’re Starfield fans.

[untold field]

I could read it instantly as well but not correctly

[sleek cliff]

Starfield fans can’t count to the letter Orange.

[subtle jungle]

If Kevin has 7 apples and gives Sandra a piece of chalk. How much purple does Bobby have?

[untold field]

Btw apart from the lore breaking Almightys mods are mostly really enjoyable and they also improve from creation to creation.

Some of the scenes in Farseer are truly stunning

Plus they included cutscenes in a Bethesda game without having the camera go bunkers. I remember some mods trying that in FO4 and it never turned out great 😅

[sharp lynx]

We all love this game tho ❤️

[untold field]

Friday!

Oh wow a couple of updates released today

[sleek cliff]

Man.

I love gambling.

[untold field]

The update for the EX Elite mod looks really interesting. I am a bit torn about that mod though because the added colors are really flashy.

[sleek cliff]

I love weapons that have other skins

[untold field]

You people might need to have a look at your mod pages idk if changing information there also requires QA but the changelogs on some are really screwed up. Judging by the fact I've seen it ony several of the updated creations that might be an automatic thing happening.

I see a lot of version 1.00 changelogs and a lot of changelogs with only the default text in it

[neat crow]

yeah that's the default values and most don't bother changing these unfortunately

[sharp lynx]

It's, kind of pointless, since there isn't versioning but also isn't cause it's nice to have a list of what's been changed

[neat crow]

Version is displayed ingame

If it always says 1.0.0 after 50 updates it's just meh

[sharp lynx]

Yea that's understandable lol

It defaults to the latest

[untold field]

Especially considering the update bug.

If you see the update again and again but have a proper version number in your load order, you know you are fine. If however the version number always stays the same, you have no indication if you are good to go or not.

[dusk steeple]

Hey. So some of the mech meshes in Watchtower are missing leaving floating parts for the mechs. Still can see them so not major issue but still kinda funky

[slim sun]

One problem is the "Describe this release" text counts as a valid description, so it doesn't flag an error. If Bethesda just removed that and forced people to write something in that box, at least that would be something.

Of course Bethesda themselves often don't fill this out on their own creations, so it would be nice if they led by example too...

[icy bramble]

Yes. This is me when a see that a Creation was updated and then I go to the changelogs...

"Describe this release"

[untold field]

probably best to report that on the KGC discord server

[dusk steeple]

The KGC server?

[subtle jungle]

Kinggath Creations. The makers of Watchtower.

[dusk steeple]

OK, I’ll take a look later. Thank you.

[dire prawn]

Wrong. I got a refund on a mod I didn't like.

[untold field]

I mean yes and no

[subtle jungle]

They were talking more cash back. You can get refunded, but in credits. No actual cash refunds.

[untold field]

There is no real refund feature so Bethesda support just gives you the credits back. You keep the creation though.

[subtle jungle]

Wait. I've missed this. You get to keep access to the creation after refund?

[sleek cliff]

Tank, I lost the farm

[neat crow]

can't point this out often enough but that's how pretty much virtual currencies in all games work.

[dire prawn]

I bought credits using fake points from playing on Xbox for PC, so it's not like they need to give me cash anyway. 😆

[untold field]

I already refunded three creations that way but also I think one should be careful not to abuse that system. I don't think Bethesda will let you refund stuff infinitely without consequences to your account.

[sharp lynx]

that's what happens when you uninstall a mod

[subtle jungle]

Sort of missing the point, but fair enough. Lol.

[sleek cliff]

Technically I disabled.

[untold field]

Yeah because its not a real refund system. They have not implemented that. Support just adds the amount of credits to your account that the creation costs.

[sleek cliff]

BUT! I don’t give up easy.

I’m gonna build better and bigger

[sharp lynx]

I dont know the exact cycle time, but, when a mod is disabled for the refresh, anything that was marked for disable will be nuked in the refresh cycle.

[subtle jungle]

That's a little wild to me. I didn't realize it was that way. Yeesh.

[sharp lynx]

I think it's 3 days time in game

[untold field]

Now you know so be careful with it.

[neat crow]

Refresh time? Disabled?

[sleek cliff]

Is what it is, but I’m gonna jump back into and build a better farm

Starfruit, Bananas and maybe even Strawberries

[sharp lynx]

there's a set cycle of time where the game will yeet FormIDs that aren't meant to be persistent

[dire prawn]

Yep. This is the one I got refunded. Creations says I still own it.

[subtle jungle]

I've never refunded. I also likely won't be spreading that bit myself. On one side people abusing it could get a proper system pushed forward but on the other hand it may not.

[sharp lynx]

this is also the same time cycle that will bring back flora that was orignially bulldozed LOL

[untold field]

Ah damn so the bulldozers added by bulldozer mods are also only temporal solutions?

[sharp lynx]

you get the vending machine!

[neat crow]

did the bot just cancel you

[subtle jungle]

Too many caps, Tank_girl444

[sleek cliff]

In Tank I Trust

[sharp lynx]

Depends, the planets proc gen, specifically placed biome markers will repopulate their listed keyword flora in there general area overtime

[untold field]

Oh I forgot we are not on the r/Starfield Discord. I deleted the gif myself to not be cancelled haha

[neat crow]

Is that separate from the reset time?

[sharp lynx]

this is something people have blamed me for LOL

I cannot control the vanilla flora

[sharp lynx]

I do not think so

[untold field]

nature will find a way eh haha

[sleek cliff]

The 1.2 update for Old Secrets was released last night.

[tame bobcat]

Thank you, Mod Creators, for not being lore friendly and telling your stories, adding new features and expanding our worlds.

[shadow fjord]

guys,Is there currently any method to add custom animations? For example, playing a specific animation when using a certain item. I heard the NAF animation framework might be capable of this, but it hasn’t been updated for quite some time...

[timid temple]

AFAIK nope

[shadow fjord]

fine...

😭

[jolly torrent]

That would be nice. I think if Beth released the animation kit, this server would melt down from all the excitement.

[lyric finch]

I wouldn't melt.. I refuseee

[tender stump]

not with that attitude

[sleek cliff]

The day the anikit comes out, modders are gonna tear into like it’s CHRISTMAS

[nimble latch]

Everyone talking about the animation kit coming out

Has Bethesda ever said that they would? I wouldn't like to think everyone is being hopeful for something that isn't coming

[untold field]

Nope

I asked Kinggath in his latest stream about it and he said from what he has heard he assumes they will come some day but nothing has been confirmed by Bethesda.

Man I really wished we had dynamic body slots in the game. Why am I limited by slots

Does anyone know why the outfits always occupy the backpack slot?

[jolly torrent]

Exactly.

[jolly torrent]

Thank you for asking about it at least.

[untold field]

Always trying to get some news about the game

But even if KG knows something, he is of course not allowed to talk about it, so that's why he would not answer this properly. It was like "it would make no sense for them to not release it, it probably has not been released because of licensing issues or something like that"

[tender stump]

That's what held up lipsync, licensing issues had to be worked out, so we didn't all have to pay $900 for a license.

[worldly furnace]

Isn’t the animation system fully in house and it doesn’t require any third party license

Animations in SF no longer use havoc physics, so they may use something else third party for that

well havoc was third party too to begin with

[sleek cliff]

Think animation will be easier now?

[sharp lynx]

Fancy feast

Sneak peak at my ecliptic mod I’m working on

[jolly torrent]

Oh dammmm!!!

That’s 🔥

[boreal osprey]

Thought that was a UC outfit for a sec lol. Whats you're plan for Ecliptic?

[mystic fox]

That’s going to be the uniform for the low level ecliptic when they take off their spacesuits I’m working on some variants as well

The uc navy and ecliptic use very similar shades of navy blue

[sleek cliff]

Knee pads?

[mystic fox]

I originally wanted to remove the knee pads but I like the look of them with them

There will be a variant without knee pads if I can get that working

[dusk steeple]

That’s dope. Look forward to seeing more.

[lyric finch]

What about, one kneepad and not on the other knee?

[mystic fox]

I’d have to use different pants sadly because there is no texture or mesh beneath the knee pads

But I am using the first pants for the snipers and captains and maybe the officers and they have the one knee pad thing

First Calvary pant”

[boreal osprey]

When I was drafting up some weapon concepts, I stuck with white, silver, grey and black. Just for a little distinction between all the different groups if you don't want them to look the same.

[mystic fox]

I am trying to add some silver but it isn’t looking right but this isn’t the only uniform the captains and officers and snipers will be more visually different I really like the look of this one as is

[lyric finch]

So what's your thinking? Outfits for the uniform look great based on that one but what about the suits?

[mystic fox]

So it’s going to be my ecliptic outfitted mod so it won’t touch spacesuits I will likely come back once I’m done but at the moment I’m only making the npc’s take off their spacesuit in o2 rich places and giving them outfits for when they do that

[sharp lynx]

Fancy feast

[jolly torrent]

Can yol take a wild guess on what I’m pairing this with? Lol

[tender stump]

I'm guessing something pretentious

[sharp lynx]

Probably not pairings

[icy bramble]

Really nice

[icy bramble]

This will have the benefit of your faces variety mod.

[mystic fox]

Yes it will 👍

[icy bramble]

Essential work

[untold field]

After hours of body slot puzzling my outfits are finally done

Until I decide to play a female character lol

[crisp haven]

I have a mod that I need help with balance testing. If anyone is interested in playtesting, please DM me and I will give you the details

[lyric finch]

I have two questions/requests

1. how plausible is it to add or modify a slider to allow pointy elf like ears

2. possibly a thingy you can add to your favourite wheel to hide/show helmets

[sleek cliff]

How hard would it be to replace NA security outfits with 510’s ODST armor?

[neat crow]

Probably just changing the items in the LL the guards have for their outfit

[sleek cliff]

Ah, okay, so it wouldn’t be too terribly difficult then, man, I wish my PC wasn’t a potato.

🥔

That looks less like a potato and more like a STUFFED burrito

[lyric finch]

Eagerly awaiting Vigilance

Can't wait to storm hostiles in that gear

[sleek cliff]

Bruh, same, I think I’m more excited for that than I am anything official.

Terran Armada? Never heard of her.

[safe sorrel]

Now I want to make a Waffle House mod where it’s a friendly alternative to Chunks by day, and gets swarmed by angry spacers to fight by night

[sleek cliff]

Miss O, I would freakin’ PRE ORDER that.

[safe sorrel]

I’ll see what I can do! it could honestly be fun to put together, and I’ve been wanting something silly to work on along side my current big project and updates

[sleek cliff]

Having a Waffle House in Starfield would unironically be a dream come true.

[safe sorrel]

It would work well with a space trucker playthrough too

[sleek cliff]

Works for any occasion really, like just having got out of prison, for lunch, going there to tell your partner you want a divorce.

And most importantly, to celebrate after having wiped out the colony above ‘rima

[safe sorrel]

Ok sold! Now the big decisions are going to be “space station or planet side location?” and “Random POI which might make it easy to miss but fun to discover, or set location?”

I think I’m leaning towards set location, but unsure on the space station or planet side one.

[sleek cliff]

Honestly? Having a planetside one would be cool, but space station WH makes a LOT of sense.

[safe sorrel]

This is the dilemma. Maybe I’ll do both so I don’t have to choose. Because planet side is what my heart wants, but I feel like they would set up as space stations because it makes the most sense, and Chunks has the planet side market covered.

[lyric finch]

Space station above earth

[sleek cliff]

I mean, Some people are SCARED of space in game, so one planet side one would be cool.

[lyric finch]

Definitely need it in Cydonia at least too

[safe sorrel]

Waffle House isn’t for the weak!!

[sleek cliff]

Damn, you got me there, Miss O.

You’re absolutely right.

[sleek cliff]

I could absolutely see one on Mars.

Not IN Cydonia, but above ground like, as soon as you get out of your ship, THERE it is

Like real life.

[safe sorrel]

Yes! And I love Cydonia

[lyric finch]

The landing zone is massive too so plenty of space to add a new structure to have it

[sleek cliff]

I do like Cydonia, just wish it wasn’t so DEPRESSING down there.

[lyric finch]

Deffo think as well it could be in the random POI list as well as having a static spawn on Earth itself (because they hoped it would draw attention being in an original location)

Err red mile could benefit from a Waffle house

[sleek cliff]

You know what? True.

After you LOSE it all in there, Waffle House there to greet you.

[safe sorrel]

I’m so sold on this! And can already see it’s going to be another “this should be a nice small project” that’s going to turn into a behemoth, but the galaxy needs it!

[sleek cliff]

Akatosh help me, it does.

[nocturne river]

Someone said hashbrowns scattered, smothered, covered, topped, diced, and chunked? Oh glorious day!

[sleek cliff]

You know what would be funny? A unique gun called “Wendy” and has a waffle skin.

Named after the ATHENA of Waffle House.

https://tenor.com/view/chair-parry-waffle-house-parry-gif-27308104

[nocturne river]

Damn, Will beat me to it

She's so dreamy

[sleek cliff]

I would’ve left her a 50$ tip just because of how IMPRESSIVE that was.

[safe sorrel]

It’s like John Wick level fight choreography.

I could live a thousand lives and never come close to that level of cool

[sleek cliff]

She adapted to the situation quicker than ANYONE would.

[nocturne river]

Waffle House is the best gladiator school in history. And they have awesome food on top of it all. What's not to love and admire?

[safe sorrel]

Maybe more a Daniels movie fight choreography, but I stand by my S tier cool ranking

[sleek cliff]

It’s easily Tarantino style choreography

Only less swears

[safe sorrel]

Damnit now I want the Waffle House movie but that’s way outside my skill set

[sleek cliff]

Well, at the very least you can bring its majesty to the Settled Systems

[nocturne river]

I've been without a Waffle House for 15 years now, so i'd just be happy with a Waffle House. even one of those trucks.

[safe sorrel]

I’m excited to pull up in my Troublemaker and order some waffles with hash browns, eggs, orange juice, and mayhem

[sleek cliff]

Extra Mayhem with a Chicken Sandwich and a waffle for me please.

Would be funny to walk in and there are guns in the trashcan from people that left them there

Would technically be canon to IRL Waffle House

[lyric finch]

Three, maybe four, locations come to mind for planet side waffle houses

Cydonia landing zone, Red mile, Polvo Hopetech landing area and maybe New Atlantis

New game? First stop.. waffle house .. I mean The Lodge

[sleek cliff]

I think Akila would work better than Polvo.

[nocturne river]

I almost wish it could follow the Atlanta model where you have at least 5 in every city and 2 on every exit serving both directions

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1395251525252550666/1419286275344695347/gawf.mp4?ex=68eb92d9&is=68ea4159&hm=5dd9cc28404d94efc2d350b8cac64dea3a0aae11f9be7c3a27ad98f76a6e78b9&

[sleek cliff]

Don’t want to push Miss O’s generosity, one in Starfield would be more than enough for me.

[nocturne river]

Like in real life, i'd be happy with a mobile truck. I ain't picky 🙂

[sleek cliff]

Just being able to eat a waffle and shank someone in the parking lot is enough for me

[jolly torrent]

Yeah. I agree. Akila would be better.

[lyric finch]

Polvo sells the ships space truckers gonna go and buy

[jolly torrent]

I see NA not having an Awful House. They seem to be more “posh” and “cosmopolitan”. I see them having a J. Christopher’s and one iHop.

[lyric finch]

Nah you gotta have one in NA, maybe the well

UC the type to encourage their.. less economic people's.. to somewhere out of sight

[safe sorrel]

In NA they exchange harsh words.

Polvo has some pent up aggression, they would melt the planet down

[lyric finch]

If you put one on Polvo.. you could have a 'private note' in Hopes office stating he's planning to shut down the local waffle house because profits...

Make the people hate em even moreeee

[sleek cliff]

Polvo people probably actively look for a reason to smash someone’s ship window

[safe sorrel]

Is that even possible!?

[lyric finch]

There's always a way to make the dastardly more.. dastardous??

[safe sorrel]

This is true
