NEW FACTION: Death Cults

Small spacer subfaction sometimes found in remote outposts. Basically, the isolation of space can make people go a bit funny sometimes. So sometimes you get cults. 

Talk about joining the moonies, am I right? 

...no? 

Okay.

The Clutter Box

All of your clutter needs in one box. Perfect for decorating. Can't remember where you saw that antique piggy bank but now you really need one? No problem with The Clutter Box. This box should contain every bit of clutter in the game that you can pick up. The box replenishes itself so if your setting a table for eight guests just keep hitting on the fork eight times. The box has an accompanying NPC corpse Brian, it would seem The Clutterbox was a bit too heavy for him and he's done himself a mischief. The slate he's carrying, that can also be found near the box, would appear to suggest that Cydonia Freight Services have not been too sympathetic to his untimely demise. When visiting Cydonia head to the right before walking down the ramp towards the main hub and ship services technician. You...

NEW FACTION: Crimson Insurgents

So here's the thing about a lot of sci fi games: They're all total dystopias. Corporations own everything, the private sector IS the state sector, and any notion of civil rights, constitutional law, legal personhood or due process is thrown out the window as industrialists influence literally everything. 

And I get it, corporations make video games, and they like to see themselves as the heroes of their own stories even if those stories have a genuinely horrifying subtext. For instance: You have to earn your citizenship through military service. Minors, people with disabilities, people who don't speak English very well, the elderly and just about anyone else who desperately needs a citizenship in order to safeguard a secure a dignified life are basically exempt... and let's n...

How Bethesda screwed up spaceship physics

So one thing I corrected in this mod is Bethesda's take on handling a spaceship. I will give them credit for researching, but the problem is that they researched the wrong thing. 

Namely, fighter jets. 

I can see the logic there. Maybe they used flight simulators to get some idea of how to make space flight work, maybe they did research by reading some abstract study, or talk to fighter pilots to get some idea of what a dogfight is like and how to actually control the space ship.

But there's one problem: Air. 

The handling mechanic that gives you a "sweet spot" for handling the spaceship is basically accounting for the nominal amount of air resistance for wings on a fighter jet. 

If you have too much acceleration then the...

Lore Thoughts: Xenos

So here's the thing about me: I love spooky stuff. Most of my passion projects are usually horror. I like paranormal videos, I enjoy cryptids, haunted houses, folklore and anything involving creepy crawlies. Whether it's Bigfoot, Lisks, Area 51, the Browndoor Incident, UFO footage, the Gorefield tapes, government conspiracies, the West Kentucky Meatman, LOAB, the Green Children from the hollow earth or the Billy Spiderhands murders. I enjoy anything where horror meets the real world. 

And xenos is a big opportunity there. Because we live in a vast universe governed by ambivalent laws of nature. Our own world, beautiful as it may be, is also the host to ancient and brutal viruses hidden deep below the melting polar ice caps waiting for the day when they get to visit us in our ...

How to make a patch for Useful Brigs

Brig Beds

You can use the existing furniture added by Useful Brigs. If one you need doesn't exist, you can create your own variant for Useful Brigs. Beds must have the following changes to be used by Useful Brigs, notably:

Useful Lawgiver

If you are anything like me, and were excited to play a bounty hunting spacecowboy when you first landed on Akila and set your eyes on the futurustic beauty  that is the Lawgiver, you were probably pretty disappointed that it wasn't really better than that Equinox you picked up on your trip with Sarah. I know I was.

It holds very few rounds, it fires slowly, so it should at least pack a punch, right? Nope. Not what the Bethesda cityfolk had in mind. All it's good for is looking good. I daresay that counts. But I am still of the mind that it should pack a punch. So that's what I did. I upped the damage a bit (slightly under 40% extra) and increased the effective range slightly. Now the space scoundrels oughta hide when you and your trusty widowmaker show up!...

Still working on Dr. Rosie's update.  I've managed to get her name set correctly..her full name in 3rd person shows "Dr. Rosie Tannehill" and her inventory shows "Doc" Rosie.  Rosie has had a slight change made to her appearance...just to make her appear to be a bit younger by default.  I'm satisfied with that since I almost always end up customizing her appearance with SLM anyway.  I've also added a custom perk called "Field Medic" and am trying to get it working correctly.  I also had a look at her Medicine crew skill...surprise, surprise...it's literally BLANK from BGS.  It gives NOTHING AT ALL.  So, I'm trying different things to make that useful too.  My focus right now is trying to get her to heal in the field...or effectively do so.  I've got a few ideas of...

Best Practices with Loose Files

ALOHA

This article is intended for both complete newcomers who haven't even gotten their copy of Starfield setup for loose files yet and have no idea what "loose files" are, as well as more experienced modders who are setup for loose files but might still stand to learn some ways to improve their habits for better results modding Starfield.  Feel free to skip any section that only contains information you already know.

WHAT ARE LOOSE FILES?

So called "loose files" in the context of Starfield are defined to be any file or asset used by Starfield that is placed loosely within the Starfield installation rather than being read from BA2 archives.  Your loose files will take priority over Starfield's archived files, and hence they are a great way to create o...

Lore Thoughts: Unity

So I got a message from Univus about my thoughts on the Starborn, and they gave me an interesting reflection on it regarding the Starborn's experiences as a multiverse character being reborn into the same life over and over again. 

And it reminded me of an existential play I watched when I was younger. Namely, Waiting For Godot. It's an interesting spin on the Greek legend of Sisyphus, the man who was punished by the Gods and was forced to roll a boulder up a mountain each day, only to see it roll back to the foot of the mountain come nightfall. Forced to repeat the same thing over and over again. 

Waiting for Godot is a similar principle, except without the boulder and without the mountain. Rather you have two men trapped in a strange kind of limbo; A purgatorial...

Old Atlantis

New Atlantis hides a secret!

This is a short Scavenger Hunt which may leads to something bigger...

The first clue is in the lodge right next to your room. (Check the Gallery Picture)
There are NO Questmarkers!!!
You actually have to read the notes to find the next location!
They are not too hard, you may have to think a bit on one clue.
Some knowledge about the Starfield Locations may help aswell.

Quest Difficulty:Riddles: Easy - Medium
Combat: Hard - Extreme

This is my first Starfield Mod and also my first Beth mod which includes world building.
I tested some things with this mod and learned a lot.

Hope you have a bit fun with it.

Lore Thoughts: Starborn

So here's a funny thing about classical theatre: People like it more than they think. 

For example, take one of the latest horror hits, namely The Backrooms. Pretty original, right? WRONG. It's simply a fresh paintjob on the Greek mythos of the Minotaur. 

And I am by no means saying that as a bad thing, I just mean, Greek mythology and theatre was more than just a religion, its pantheon of deities inspired a great deal of art, poetry and literature, as well as epic stories of heroism and adventure. 

In other words: Polytheism was kind of like comic books before comic books. 

Not exclusively of course, but that was a big part of it. We even have a modern example of this, namely Hinduism. Obviously Hinduism is a lot more than just popular e...

Perk Up Released

Alrighty, the mod is released both here and on Creations. I have no included the Well Rested booster files as there are probably plenty of them out by now, and my only aim was to recreate/update the "More is More" section anyways....

Call Your Ship Add on

This add on contains an ESM and a script, that will allow the user to call their ship, once they have set up the original mod of Call your Ship.  Call Your Ship.   

Please note, if you have any concerns with how long the ship takes to get to you, how it has to leave the ground and then land, or really anything to do with the ship from the time you call it, to the time it lands, please direct those comments to Call Your Ship mod.

If you have been using the Call your ship mod, and then install this mod, you only have to go to any Industrial bench, and create the CYS Headphone Remote hat.  Once you have that, simply place the hat on your head, and it should spawn a menu, which you then choose how you wish to call your ship.   Simple as that....
