Now that's a news headline I didn't have on my Bingo card.

Puggles are typically 1/2 Beagle. This is a movement I can get behind!

Distant Horizons recommendation for Xbox Series X

Can anyone recommend one of the Distant Horizons mods for me? I'm on Xbox so performance and stability are critical factors.

I'm going to start at 150m. I thought there was a 130m version but I can't find it.

Thanks

Emission Warning System Mod

I highly recommend this simple mod:

KAIMANOV & ACE: EMISSION WARNING SYSTEM

It really adds a level of intense emersion.

Only downside for me is that I can't hear the air raid sirens when I'm inside a shelter. Bug or dev limitation?

Abandoned cellar in the city centre of Klaipeda Lithuania

I was cycling in the city today in Klaipėda, Lithuania. I needed to stop but there were no public restrooms, so I had to relieve myself and look for a tree. I stopped and saw an abandoned cellar. There were clothes and beer—pants and a big pile of trash. A large dog or cat went inside. The walls in the picture were stained with a reddish-brown substance, and the smell was horrible. I took a photo and left immediately. There seemed to be a tunnel leading into another room; I wouldn’t go in there. There is litter next to it. Also if you zoom in you may see clothes etc. How can such place exist downtown.

NoEnemyMarkers Mod

Curious if anyone is using this mod on Xbox.

I'm playing with it today. I love the fact that I can keep the compass and the red "something dangerous is nearby" red bar, but not have the cheesy red triangle 🔺 "magic radar". In my opinion this should be a native option in the game.

I'm wondering if this mod is affecting my game in a negative way: I went to a new area today northeast of Slag Heap (The Commissary). The area is riddled with hostile Bandits but I'm also running into Bandits that appear to be friendly.

Without any spoilers, is this a bug or is this part of the gameplay?

Hi all. Anyone know if this mod works on Xbox as of version 1.9?

I like the compass but hate not being able to disable those red triangles.

Anyone used it before?

First time (seriously) playing with mods. Dabbled a bit back before the mod browser was available in-game.

I just loaded a few popular/recommended mods on my Xbox Series X. Saw the warning in the screenshot.

I can't back out. Only option is to "continue anyway".

Is this a generic warning I should be expecting to see every time I play with 2+ mods installed or is this a legitimate warning?

Can you spot any obvious potential problems?

I'm on S2 version 1.9. I have 400 hours into my main saved game. Playing very slow and exploring every inch of the map.

This handle is 5 years old. The most used door handle in the entire house. Connects kitchen to garage. It doesn't have a lock. It appears it lost a small screw. Any idea on the size or type?

Sure I could find a replacement from a big box store or Amazon but I'd like to try and repair it.

Door still works but the handle is so janky I can tell it's on its last leg if I don't fix it soon.

I bought (2) AP7s 1 year ago. One of them recently was found to be blinking red. I power cycled it and it went to a blue blinking sequence for nearly 10 minutes, then dropped back to blinking red again. Tried rebooting it twice. No luck. The core switch shows blinking link status from the AP7 to its port.

Do I need to wipe it/re-add it to my network?

My router is a Firewalla Gold Plus. The router confirms the AP7 is not reachable, and can't be located.

I received my book and cards today. I have more cards coming soon to (hopefully) complete the collection. I can't read Ukraine, so I'm translating via an app. So excited to have native Ukraine merchandise.

Question: how do I place the cards into the book without treating the pages or bending the cards? The book and cards are well made, but the slots look a bit fragile.

My zone has been empty for months (since 1.8 I think). Not exaggerating.

I havent seen a single dog, boar or flesh in months. The only AI I run into (human animal or mutant) is in scripted sequences, or in certain lairs and faction bases. Even certain lairs like the Bloodsucker cave under the Old Mill is now completely empty.

The only mutants I run into are wandering Bloodsuckers and Burers (in packs of 3-15 - known bugs)

Is it just me?

I'm on Xbox Series X.
