Aylis Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Last Update 06. Oct. 2023 Content 1. Introduction 2. Modlist 3. Files 4. Screenshots ... Tips and Tricks (Game) This might move later on, so no number for it. ... Introduction Even with the Creation Kit not available yet, there are already quite a few mods i can recommend. They do improve the current gameplay and should be installed (for) now. Version 1.0 will come with the release of the 'Creation Kit'. With all the mods dropping constantly the number will rise fast anyway... ? Note There are a few mods out that use batches to modify the game. I'll not add those as they, afaik, can't be reverted once used and possibly mess up your savegame. Edited October 6, 2023 by Aylis 5

Aylis Posted September 16, 2023 Author Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Tips and Tricks (Game) Skills Spoiler Essential Those are imho essential for the game. Spoiler Ballistics You'll mostly get ballistic weapons and all will benefit from this. Boost Pack Training Without it you won't be able to use one. Commerce Will massively increase your funds and decrease the price of all things you buy (even ships and parts for them). Medicine Makes survival easier. Persuasion You'll talk a lot and persuading NPC will help in a lot of situations. ?Buying a 'Neurocom' in 'Neon City' will give a bonus to the skill. Piloting Needed to fly better ships. Security You won't get around to pick locks. So train this skill. Spacesuit Design Spacesuits are bulky and heavy. This will later help with that issue. Weight Lifting Now you can carry more. Its no fun to be overloaded... Exploration As exploration is not everyones cup of tea i'll keep it separate. Spoiler Botany Faster scanning of plants and makes them usable in an outpost. But get 'Zoology' first. Surveying Better range for the scanner helps a lot (especially with flying or aggressive creatures). Zoology Get this advanced skill asap (i recommend at least rank 2). Plants usually don't run away or try to eat you... Skill Ranking Spoiler Physical Spoiler Social Spoiler Combat Spoiler Science Spoiler Tech Mining To increase the speed of mining target the ore first. It will deplete the cutter faster but you'll get the ore faster too. Removing Traits Spoiler Alien DNA Spoiler Go to the clinic in 'Neon City'. The doctor there can remove the alien DNA from your genom. Wanted Spoiler Talk to the bounty hunter in 'Cydonia'. For a small fee she can renove the bounty on your head.

VenomousOuroboros Posted September 17, 2023 Posted September 17, 2023 I'll be watching this, for sure. It's going to be a mad mess, once the mod community "breaks the seal" and everyone starts churning out their own (nigh-indistinct) tweaks on the same aspect of the game. Reshades and outfit retextures abound! In your eyes, though, do you think there are going to be any substantive developments by this community before the CK gets released? Or are we largely in a holding pattern, picking at the surface-level stuff until then?

Or are we largely in a holding pattern, picking at the surface-level stuff until then? To work on the more complicated mods the modders will need access to the 'Creation Kit'. Atm we only get mods that scratch on the surface of the game (like textures and sound). I was honestly surprised to see that the first scripted mods appeared (and worked). The good thing is that, when the CC shows up, we should have all the texture replacers we need already in place.

Or are we largely in a holding pattern, picking at the surface-level stuff until then? I suspect that till CC is out the most interesting mods will be SFSE, as mods built on it mostly do not interact with the CC or official modding tools in any way. (However, they do require lots of painstaking work from the authors of SFSE to make it able to do more interesting things.)

Mindgames265 Posted September 19, 2023 Posted September 19, 2023 Might I suggest SFSE ASI Loader instead of Ultimate ASI Loader? Just keeps your main game file a touch cleaner. 1

wollboi Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 Just FYI, there's a beta version of MO2 available now only available on their Discord. It supports SF without using the plugin. It's working great for me. The link to the Discord is on the MO2 mod page. 3
