I like the simplicity of The Blackest Sea’s #SurvivalMode mechanics. So far, I haven’t been caught without food, beverages, fuel, and a safe place to sleep, so I’m not really sure what happens without them. But they seem to be the right number of extra things to manage without causing unwanted stress.

This is now turning into more of a “Gothos25” superplaythrough than a strict “The Blackest Sea” #SurvivalMode playthrough, but meh, can you really blame me?
Apotheosis 🤤 Desolation 🤤 Bedlam 🤤 The Great Unknown 🤤 and Ronin 🤤 Hell yeah.

Alas. “The Blackest Sea” does not appear to be compatible with “RYOS (Roll Your Own Start)”, so I actually need to start a new-new-new game.
Should be interesting. Been a while since I’ve done this.

Now that my Fallout 4 mod collection is published, I think it’s time for an all-new #Starfield #SurvivalMode playthrough built around “The Blackest Sea” paid creation. Been meaning to try it forever.
I’ll start small with the load-order. Explore all it has to offer before adding others.

The “real fun” of #StarbornArchives is building a deck using your favourites quickslots
Starting with the #FreeLanes update, I started using the quickslots exclusively for quantum essence and Starborn powers. I wanted to take advantage of the new vanilla features to get as close to the #Apotheosis mod as I could (all my superpowers at my fingertips with as few clicks as possible)
But since so many of the Starborn Archives cards can only be cast from a quickslot, I figured, “No, the right way to use this mod is to build and tweak a deck, just like I would with a TCG IRL.” And now I have access to some pretty cool lore-friendly Starborn powers that are more reminiscent of biotic abilities from the Mass Effect series.
Oh right, and I can also deploy Terrormorphs as xenoweapons. Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhhh
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #SpaceExploration #RPG #Gaming
Starship combat with #Manticore is also much more difficult than #ExtremeMode
Imagine, if you will, the total insanity of taking on a large incoming #Watchtower fleet with Manticore. I just splashed 26 ships in a mindbending 3D dogfight, with the hostiles using that extra dimension almost as well as I do, while being a lot tougher. I had to stay ahead of their fire and shake off missile lock immediately, looping in and through and around them to keep out of the crossfire, because (as I learned very early in trying Manticore) once shields are broken the ship is trashed after 1–3 hits.
It’s asymmetric warfare all the way, without any clear advantage to exploit but your own wits during daredevil maneuvers. You can’t adopt a brute force approach, because you can only have a max of 9 fleet ships so Watchtower will always have you outnumbered; since the Vanilla game only allows you to own 10 ships at a time, that’s where the mod caps it too (even with mods like #Darkstar installed that increase your owned fleet capacity IIRC).
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #SpaceExploration #RPG #Gaming
I never thought I’d say this, but...
Independently, #StarbornArchives, #Manticore, and #Watchtower are amazing #StarfieldCreations
But put them together (especially with #TerranArmada), and it’s all just too much.
If you thought Vanilla+ Starborn Ambushes were bad (or just plain irritating, most times), you should see the ambushes in the #StarbornArchives creation
They come out of the walls
They come out of the ground
They come out of thin air
You can’t escape them
No place is safe from them
They’re seeping out of the cracks and folds of the multiverse, lookin’ to rob you blind
I mean, that’s what competing for the Artifacts boils down to in the first place. It just feels a lot more petty when it’s for your trading card collection. Even if it is… cough cough… more relatable.
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #StarbornAmbush #SciFi #SpaceExploration #RPG #Gaming
#Manticore is a surprisingly good tactical combat overhaul #StarfieldCreation
I’m not going to sit here and say I love everything about it, but overall it does exactly what it says on the tin and provides “brutal, fast-paced combat encounters” far beyond Vanilla+ #ExtremeMode

RE: https://functional.cafe/@thephoeron/117019548990879758
It’s already turning into more of a #StarbornAmbush vs #Watchtower vs #TerranArmada #BattleRoyale but I guess we could all see that coming
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #Starborn #SciFi #RPG #SpaceExploration #Gaming
Say. You know what I haven’t tried yet?
#Watchtower vs #TerranArmada showdown! I wonder if they’ll immediately turn on each other, or band together as unlikely allies against me?
Either way it’ll be chaos. Muah-ah-ah-ah-ahhh

How did I ever play #Starfield without this mod?
It does exactly what it says on the tin, no unwelcome surprises—but the difference it makes to ambience of the game is shocking

I love my #EarthDomeHome (another great player home from DownfallNemesis)
And yes, I decided to keep the Earth Savior Award for myself in this universe and put it on display amongst the cherry blossoms. Heh.

I found this lovely little island just off the arctic coast on Bel II, just large enough for an outpost beacon and a Darkstar Omen LX200 X Ultra platform, a far enough swim to ensure the death of any mortal, and pose a serious health risk to Starborn
Now this is a slice of heaven
#Starfield #Darkstar #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming #SpaceExploration
There’s still only one thing I dislike about the #Watchtower #StarfieldCreation as a whole:
I hate the Piazzi system. I’ve always hated the Piazzi system. Ever since the first planetfall as part of the Main Quest in my first ever playthrough’s Prime Universe, which, let’s face it, feels like eons ago now, thus creating the subjective illusion that I’ve hated Piazzi for all time and eternity.
Yet I can’t for the life of me remember “why”
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Huh. Bug or feature?
Turns out #Watchtower absolutely will jump in and attack your United Colonies and Freestar Collective allies once a star system’s alert level is high enough
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
I’ve (already) lost track of the number of times I’ve faced off against #Watchtower and I have exactly two observations worth noting:
1. The ideal strategy for dealing with them is to simply allow them to be a persistent threat, much like Ecliptic, the Spacers, Crimson Fleet, and Va’ruun Zealots, stretching out the growth of your fleet as long as possible, to allow them enough time to become dangerous enough to be worth fighting in a direct conflict
2. It’s so disturbing to be called an “S-Category Deviant” that I feel compelled to exterminate them as fast as possible regardless of knowing the ideal strategy
Well played, Kinggath, well played
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
I would like the most absurdly overpowered weapon, please. One that’s just as likely to off me as it is my enemies.
Enter the “BombaTech Nuke Launcher: Achievement friendly tactical nuclear ordnance launcher.” (basically a redesigned import of the Fat Man launcher from the Fallout series to the Starfield universe, but more dangerous and with no power armor to protect you, but with full Boost Assault Training turns your humble character into a full-blown Starship Trooper)
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Phew. That was intense. But also a flawless execution of my end-run.
Keep on runnin’, #Watchtower
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Round Two versus #Watchtower, additional additional:
Built up a fleet of six starships—fully upgraded Mk. 10 #Darkstar fighters, destroyers, and battleships—all piloted by Elite Crew and decked out with Skydrops; I’ve dismantled their array network; and I’m pretty sure I’ve successfully unlocked all the little extra bonus goodies along the way
#HeimdallStation here I come
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
I suppose the weirdest thing so far with my #Darkstar + #Watchtower playthrough is winding up with 2.6B credits in my Galbank account by the time I completed Legacy’s End
Like what? I sided with SysDef
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #NexusMods #SciFi #Gaming
I happened to notice that #Watchtower fleets use an interesting but peculiar difficulty-scaling algorithm—the individual ships scale by level as normal, but the size of the fleets seem to keep growing as well. I haven’t quite mapped out the curve in my head but it seems to be polynomial.
In any case. It took me nearly 45 minutes last night just to loot all the damn ships from a large response fleet in orbit of Ka’Zaal.
PS: currently playing on #Darkstar #PunishMe difficulty, which compared to #Scarfield is disappointingly easy, however, works on both #PC and #Xbox which is not nothing
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #NexusMods #SciFi #Gaming
Holy hell the #PopcornTime score for “Legacy’s End” is not merely haunting, it elevates storming the Key starstation to the degree of most-glorious-holy-crusade
(Which is exactly how it should feel when you go in full-KryoZet-Mantis armed with one of 510deshawn’s Stellar Blades, speed-running the entire space-pirate-massacre entirely within Phased Time)

Round two versus #Watchtower, additional:
This time I’ve been hijacking Watchtower Battleships for my fleet instead of Starborn Guardians, renaming them Battlestars. It may be slightly out-of-universe, and by no means thematically-correct, but somehow… it still fits
To say nothing of decking out every ship in my fleet with a terrifying array of skydrop modules now—orbital precision strikes, wide-area bombardment, inferno bombs, and smoke screens, to be precise. I still need to add EMPs to wipe out all the mechs, turrets, and bots with a first strike though.
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Wait. What’s this “Large Watchtower Fleet Incoming” warning??
#Starfield #Watchtower #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Round two versus #Watchtower
This universe I’m taking the time to comb through every nook and cranny, and pace myself dismantling the array network
Also: during the initial ambush I managed to take out two of the three Watchtower ships before they disabled my vessel, and the entire first-wave boarding party before they disabled me. Next time around I’m hoping to take out the whole ambush party (assuming that possibility has even been scripted, fingers crossed)
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Never mind my previous post. Sacking #HeimdallStation was fun. Full-stop.
#Starfield #Watchtower #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
I can’t believe how quickly I was able to dismantle (read: destroy) the entire #Watchtower array network by building a decent little fleet of #StarbornGuardian ships and targetting the array hubs
I really should have gone after the terminal arrays, to draw out the campaign a little, as well as for the extra loot. The whole chain-reaction thing is deeply unsatisfying, from a gameplay perspective.
#Starfield #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SciFi #Gaming
Huh. It’s a bit weird to say, I know, but Kinggath Creations’ #Watchtower may be a community mod yet it feels canonical while still providing a wholly unique gameplay experience from the base game.
Not to mention the orbital strikes, fleet mechanics, mech warfare, and random Londinion-style terrormorph outbreaks. Hell yeah.
So yes, as Torin put it, with my NG+10 character this shadowy cabal absolutely has a point.

At long last, an up-to-date alternative #AutoLoot #StarfieldMod : #LazyPanda
It’s based on Aurie’s #LazyScav and works in much the same way on the player-facing side, but internally it has much improved performance and full DLC support. It also includes support for untagged miscellany, which appears to include unrecognized custom tagged items such as a variety of other mod-added content that Lazy Scav would ignore or glitch-out over. Lazy Panda don’t care, he loots and pillages EVERYTHING.
One funny twist: if you loot something by hand that Lazy Panda already set his sights on, he’ll grab it right back out of your inventory. Not even kidding.

Hate to admit it, but I haven’t really been enjoying the new #NASAPUNK2330 after coming straight out of #Scarfield
So I’m reminding myself how good it is by tormenting myself resuming my original #VanillaStarfield playthrough on #Xbox — and I have to wonder, how did I even make it to Level 211 and through ten universes without any mods in the first place?
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #ShatteredSpace #Bethesda #SciFi #Gaming #XboxGaming #XboxSeriesX #XboxGamePass #XboxCloudGaming
Holy shittttttttttttttttttt there’s a new release of #NASAPUNK2330 !!!!!
Literally. Today. At 5AM.

Aimlessly wandering the wilds outside Dazra and in the process managed to adopt a pet #VortexGroat
Yes you read that correctly
#Starfield #ShatteredSpace #StarfieldGame #StarfieldCreations #Bethesda #SteamGaming #Gaming #SciFi
There’s a few new strange bugs in the #Starfield base-game, that only appear after completing all of #ShatteredSpace’s main and side quests
So I restored my last hard save immediately before discovering The Oracle and am playing through Shattered Space again. Honestly it’s way more fun than the base-game main questline anyway.
#StarfieldGame #Bethesda #StarfieldCreations #SteamGaming #Gaming #SciFi
I never thought I’d say this, not in a million years…
But #ShatteredSpace is irrefutable proof that there’s such a thing as too much looting, and at this point I might medically need an autoloot mod or will have to give up on the game entirely
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldCreations #Bethesda #SteamGaming #Gaming #SciFi
Unbelievable. After installing the update along with #ShatteredSpace now #Starfield won’t launch at all
Me: *verifying file integrity* and then *scoffing in further disbelief at how long validation is taking*

Been meaning to try this #Starfield mod out for a while, and now that the Mod Index overflow issue has been resolved in the latest #StarfieldBeta I finally have the room in my load order to do so.
“Earth Restored” by AinsyMods, does exactly what it says on the tin: it completely breaks the canonical lore of the Starfield universe by restoring the great green hills of Earth to the paradise we know and love, transforming it into a whole new level of hell.
Earth is infested with terrormorphs and other hostile, predatory xenofauna. Enclaves of Va’ruun Zealots and Ecliptic mercenaries are running rampant, robbing the grave of human civilization’s origin to finance their campaigns of terror across the Settled Systems. Contingents of UC Marines containing the myriad threats belie the UC’s blatant propaganda about the environmental destruction of Earth that forced humanity into the stars, while military-grade scanner jammers give false readings to bolster the party line, prevent the collection of evidence, and keep the facts from being revealed to humanity at large.
My God. It is the best mod I’ve ever installed.
#StarfieldGame #SteamGaming #SteamBetas #StarfieldMods #StarfieldCreations #SciFi #Gaming
So much for “a true living nightmare”…
Running on the Ultra graphics preset to push my hardware to the limit. Over 260 #StarfieldCreations loaded. No clue what my Mod-Index count is at, since SFEF hasn’t been updated to work under the latest #StarfieldBeta yet. But no matter. Only one CTD so far. One!
This beta is the most stable #Starfield has ever been.
#StarfieldGame #Bethesda #SciFi #Gaming #SteamGaming #SteamBetas
Switching over to the latest #StarfieldBeta now
Aside: somehow by the end of the #VanguardFaction questline on my #Scarfield playthrough I managed to be so OP I was running around the wilds of Toliman II gun-bashing terrormorphs, other random xenos, and pirates to death, mostly one-hit kills—yes, even the two obnoxious avian-analogues. The Crimson Fleet I ran into at a POI were well above my player level, too, 3x on average, and oh sure they at least put up a fight and kept lighting me on fire, yet I barely took any damage. So clearly I need a new level of challenge, blowing up #Starfield itself over and over by testing mods on the beta release. This should prove to be a true living nightmare.
#StarfieldGame #StarfieldCreations #StarfieldMods #SteamGaming #SteamBetas #SciFi #Gaming
Reading through the September Beta update notes this week? Ran out of ways to escalate emphatic degree of repeated, screamed “Finally!”s to myself.
No really. I got all the way to self-memeing ERMAGHERD FERNERRY. This is the update all us mod-devs have been waiting for. In my own case, needed this fix to even bother publishing anything in the first place, because hey, what I’m building yeah I need at least 255 mod-slots to myself thank you very much.
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldMods #StarfieldCreations #SciFi #Gaming #SteamGaming #SteamBetas #StarfieldV11468
My #NASAPUNK2330 character is already so ridiculously OP I figured “meh I might as well build a Class M warship that can singlehandedly tale on both the entire Crimson Fleet AND UC SysDef at the same time like it’s swatting flies”
And god help me I’ve done just that
I think maybe, just maybe, it might be time to switch to #Scarfield
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldMods #StarfieldCreations #SciFi #Gaming
One week with #NASAPUNK2330 and I’m already at Level 227, tearing through my Prime universe and the Starborn like it’s the second Serpent’s Crusade
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldMods #StarfieldCreations #SciFi #Gaming
There are a lot of things I really, really love about #NASAPUNK2330
For one thing, how Ecliptic have been transformed from a bunch of lumbering oafs with expensive toys they don’t know how to use into full-on Space Nazis as well-read and strategic as they are evil? It’s not like the vanilla experience ever STOPPED me from hunting them for sport, BUT NOW it’s a moral imperative.
But then there’s this whacked-out shit with mannequins. Okay. I get it. The guy doesn’t want to accidentally allow for an OP playthrough, so messed with the mannequins to only allow spawning of broken armor on them. But now I can’t equip my own armor on my own mannequins in my own outposts and ships??? WTAF. How am I supposed to show off all my hunting trophies now?!
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldMods #StarfieldCreations #SciFi #Gaming
I know it’s been a few days since I started my new new new #NASAPUNK2330 playthrough, but even though I’ve already crossed the Level 100 line and reached max loyalty with both Sarah and Andreja, I still haven’t figured out even a half-decent way to have my #ManifestDestiny and eat it too
What’s really funny about this mess of a mixed metaphor is I’m actually talking about my preferential weapon-build, a long, amplified Va’ruun Inflictor particle rifle using annihilator rounds. Preferably legendary with the Elemental buff. Nothing to do with cake at all!
Well. It doessss make massacring Spacers, Pirates, Ecliptic mercenaries, and the freakiest xenofauna this side of the Pleiades better than chocolate… but…
#Starfield #StarfieldGame #StarfieldMods #StarfieldCreations #SciFi #Gaming
I bit the bullet and actually bought the Steam edition of #Starfield on Friday to support my own mod development, and I’m never looking back. BetterConsole? Trainwreck?? Real-Time Form Patcher and SFSE?! Are you kidding me?!? Not to mention full integration with the CK. I can now literally livehack the whole Settled Systems. The multiverse is mine to command!
By comparison, I kept hitting wall after wall of undiagnosable bugs and crashes with the GamePass edition, no matter how deep I dug through the WinDbg crash dumps. The way they partially stripped the binary of the GamePass edition is super weird and really doesn’t help.
Naturally, I also started a whole new game with a whole new character, for a clean playthrough to use as a sandbox—and for some reason I thought “meh it’ll be fiiiiiinnnneeee on total Extreme mode with maxed-out XP boosters”.
… Holy hell … holy goddamned hell …
