I have released the first version of my first mod for Starfield.

https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/16696

This is my effort to add to Desolation and expand on the idea.

• Human presence will now only appear on planets and moons within the habitable zone of their stars this means planets marked as "cold" , "temperate" or "hot" generally meaning a temperature between -70c and +50c there will no longer be human POI's on scorched , inferno or freezing and deep freeze planets or moons.
• This removes the settled systems restriction in Desolation which means that you will see human POI's on planets without a breathable atmosphere outside of the settled systems as long as they are in the correct temp range.
• Due to the restriction on the temperature the airless bodies that fall within those constraints are often moons of planets with atmospheres in the habitable zones of their stars as planets with "Cold" , "Temperate" and "Hot" climates tend to be the ones with water and breathable atmospheres in Starfield.
• Human POI density will vary between settled space and unsettled space, In settled space you may see many Human POI's on planets while outside of settled space you will be lucky to find one and sometimes 2 human buildings on a landing cell sometimes you may not have any and only have natural POI's.
• This does not affect story locations making each unique location more unique especially when on a planet outside of the normal constraints.
• Crashed ships are not affected by this at all and can happen anywhere including extreme planets should you feel inclined to explore an inferno or deep freeze world.

Future plans are restricting some POI's to appear in certain biomes only like asteroid mines only appearing on the cratered biome and so on.

If anyone can help me find all the POI's and add them in xEdit for the next version help would be appreciated.

Hey all, played the game literally on launch, put 80ish hours in it (barely modded) and would love to try it again. I've been sitting on the game for a couple of years on steam, waiting for a big update and well.. here we are!

I'll admit, I have a ton of exp. modding fallout 4 and skyrim but I haven't really messed with this game since the first week it was out, the mods then were very barebones. I have't seen a solid wabbajack list so I figured I'd take the time to make a list myself.

I just wanted to get the communities opinions on the best, most enjoyable mods for someone who wants a more varied and content filled experience. I'm not really worried about graphical updates or changes unless it's some cool biome/planet thing.

I'm mostly interested in gameplay changes and more/new weapons. Maybe overhauls, weapon packs, new armors, etc. I don't care if it's lore friendly as long as it's cool and well made.

I've had my eye on Royal Galaxy and plan on including that but I'd love to add some new quests, either longer ones or fun radiant quests like bounty hunting, etc.

I'm not big into space combat but I'm open to ship stuff if it makes the game feel better.

I know about the Genesis mod pack but honestly that's not something I'm interested in at this time. I love star wars but it's not the thing I'm going for atm.

Also any mods that expand on romance or add new, fleshed out romance options (preferably female ones), would be welcome.

I am willing to get 1-3 paid creations IF they are actually worth the money and legitimately feel *premium*. I don't want to pay $5-$10 for some cosmetics or AI changes, It needs to be a large scale overhaul or a big weapon pack that feels really good and fun.

Sorry for the long post, just really lost in the sea of nexus and don't really want to spend hours upon hours testing things so I figured asking the experts was the best call.

Does anyone know how to do this mission while Watchtower is loaded, without first disbanding my fleet? Doing it solo would obviously be easier, but why is there no way to tell a fleet in a defensive posture at a far follow distance nor to attack the ship that I want to disable and board?

I have 5 rather OP ships, almost fully crewed. They are merciless; once the UC ship fires, it's lights out. Really want to avoid having to disband and re-crew

UPDATE: Thanks for the suggestions, I have 2 great options. Was pulling my hair out trying not to subject the the UC ship to the aggressive attention of my overzealous fleet.

To the person that suggested all EM weapons on all ships, you sir are absolutely hilarious and I will probably end up trying that, too. This made my day. Simple solution to an obnoxious problem due to the fact that Red Mile is right there.

UPDATE 2: Went all suppressor, took 1 jump and all of Watchtower showed up. This was worth the laugh. Somehow, despite only having a few EM weapons each, fleet survived. I may have to do this more often. Whelp, off the Red Mile to re-outfit the fleet.

During my playthroughs of previous Bethesda games since Morrowind (back when they were called 'plugins'), I have always been impressed by the work people put in to make these games rise even higher than their original release.

This is all thanks to curious, talented individuals learning how to use the creation kits, and sitting their over many hours troubleshooting until it works. Then, now more than ever, with constant updates in modern games, having to fix their own mods when the game gets overhauled. The rush of constant updates I've seen on nexus has been something to behold.

Though people mean well when they refer to a 'modding community', I think it's fitting to pay tribute to the individuals that have done just this. I hope they are aware how much some of us enjoy and appreciate what they have made.

I just spent the last weekend playing Skyrim with a large number of mods that made the game extremely immersive and fun to play. This game by all accounts plays and feels different from previous Bethesda games, especially taking into account the scale of the mechanics.

So I see that this game has a lot of Star Wars mods like characters and armors but it has none for mass effect, I would have at least thought it would have had an N7 one by now, is that something that's not popular to do or is Star Wars easier?

Hi, I bought the Alliance Tracker mod for 700 credits out of the 1000 I had with my premium version.

Which mod could I get for 300 credits that is compatible with the latest update?

Sometimes when I’m on the main menu in the game, I hear this cool background ship radio chatter. It’s unintelligible but sounds like ship to ship or ship to ground comms. It would add a lot of ambiance to flying around one of the settled systems.

I’m old school where forums (sorta like posts on Nexus) were the way you interacted with software devs and companies for support. But now everyone has moved to Discord. Maybe it’s because I’m old school, but Discord seems terrible. It’s just a glorified group chat tool. It use to be where you would go to connect with folks to party-up and use it for voice chat while playing multi-player games.

As a customer, it’s near impossible to find helpful info on Discord… so you have to ask a question that has likely been asked a hundred times before. There’s no way to comb through past discussions on various topics to learn on your own from what others have gone through as nothing is organized by topic. It’s 99% noise.

I imagine as a mod author, it’s painful because the self-help aspect is crap, and you’re constantly getting the same inquiries… over and over.

On top of all this, any useful knowledge shared on Discord is locked away, completely invisible to search engines and AI so anyone searching for an issue that was solved on Discord will never get an answer.

Discord seems to have no upsides. What am I missing?

Can we get a Titanfall 2 armored set like a grapple pilot or even sonar pilot possibly for Xbox if not whatever I just want it to exist for the community who could use some love

Downloaded derretech legacy redux on PS5. It instantly crashes when I try to go to the Habs tab. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm not talking about the enterprise add-on cockpit, but a ship. Had a nice red cozy look to it. I cannot remember as it was when I left for a bit. Huge windshield and seats all around all your followers would automatically would sit in.

Could have been a ship.

Thanks.

So I recently got back into Starfield, and I'm running into an issue where my game will crash any time I try to fast travel. I know it's one of my mods but I don't want to disable and reenable them one by one because I don't want to accidentally break my save, and I need help diagnosing the issue because I'm not very good at reading the Trainwreck crash logs. If anyone can take a look and narrow down the issue, I would greatly appreciate the help.

I haven't used LOOT in a hot minute so please let me know if there are any issues with my load order and what corrections I should make. Thank you!

I'm enjoying my first playthrough of Starfield, but I feel a lack of weapon and modification variety. Could I get a few recommendations? They would need to be compatible or updated for the recent patch and expansion. Also, primarily looking for things that would feel natural to both the game's setting and not be over powered.

Thanks so much!

Just curious about this—I’ve always thought StarUI was the go-to UI mod for Starfield. But I recently noticed that Astral UI actually has more downloads, and I’ve seen some people mention that StarUI can impact performance.

If you’ve moved away from StarUI, what made you switch? And what are you using instead? Why is it better?
