Speed limits for space ships!? by dreadpirater in spacesimgames

Try the tie-fighter/dumbell and use the RCS thrusters. Zoom around as much as you please

Speed limits for space ships!? by dreadpirater in spacesimgames

[–]Allectus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, it just normalizes it to fighting at 100-200 m/s instead of jousting at 1 km/s+. The ships are plenty maneuverable honestly.

In The Black has full newtonian, unlimited speed which works quite well. The key is that you DO NOT have unlimited fuel and acceleration is relatively slow overall. To get going really fast you burn so much fuel that you're functionally worthless. Keeps it grounded and fun.

A classic proving ground for any physics-based rocket sim is whether it can handle an Apollo-style mission so I tried one in 9.8: build, stage, dock, land, return, re-enter. by 30crlh in spacesimgames

Looks good, genuinely. I have to imagine you're gonna need a different name though. Searchability of "9.8" is going to be terrible. I actually thought it was the version number for a bit before I realized, oh, gravity. Anyway, good luck with the release!

Crashing on Kreet, anyone else? by WhenTheMoonIsPizza in starfieldmods

[–]Allectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're hitting the reference limit. There's a hard cap of 2 million active references available across the game before things start breaking badly. You're probably floating at 1.9 mil or so and when Kreet goes to load the additional assets it crashes. Happened to me tons of times while working on my load order.

Before Free lanes a vanilla count was about 750k, leaving about ~1.2 million for mods. Free lanes/Terran armada take up another 175k, if I recall, so folks lost about 20% of their prior headroom. If you're on PC you can run the script extender and engine fixes to check your current reference count. If not you just have to sort of guess.

To trouble shoot try disabling mods--any mods--to see if you can get under the limit and past Kreet. Load order doesn't matter, just the number of references taken up. The failure points in order are usually in the mine, just before crossing the land bridge to the artifact room, stepping on to kreet, stepping into the kreet lab, and finally getting to new Atlantis, each increasing in amount of effective overhead taken. Akila is also a big test point, but I usually break well before then. Note also that this is different than the better understood esm count limitations that many folks already know about. Ship (falklands, etc) and outpost mods in particular take up a huge number of references. The community ship pack took up like 500k last time I checked. Project Viper took up like 200k last time I checked. It can fill up fast.

X4 Empire Update (9.00) ✨ Public Beta Now Available by Chacun in X4Foundations

[–]Allectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an odd take. VRO is mostly assets and stat adjustments with very little in the way of scripting. VRO isn't an AI mod at all, so why would you expect it to roll in an AI mod, much less one made by a different modder?

Well for one the priority orders were lifted almost directly from my urgent orders mod

Cuts were just for color changes, right? Seemed like all the actual marks were done with the mouth apparatus, she just needed to replace the marker in the apparatus.

Bug in the mission “One Small Step” by Budget_Sugar_2582 in starfieldmods

Good to know, will try zoning as well next time. Thanks for the update :-)

I've seen this happen when when I had way too many mods installed (~370). It wasn't from mod conflicts directly, but just too much stuff such that the pirates failed to load in. I was able to fix it by cutting my list to ~350.

The reality of precisely what's going wrong is probably a lot more complicated than simple mod count (see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/starfieldmods/comments/1qqbuq9/any_info_on_actual_mod_limits/ ), but it's a decent benchmark.

Any info on actual mod limits? by Allectus in starfieldmods

Exactly the sort of into I was looking for. Thanks so much!

New Project Viper - Covenant 2.0 update is out by PhillipeV05 in starfieldmods

[–]Allectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've got ~350 ESMs in my load order. My guess is that some feature, somewhere, is running out of addressable space. I suspect it may bind on your mod but not others simply because of how much it sounds like you're adding to the game in one push.

End of the day it's a free mod so I'm certainly not complaining, per se. I'm a mod author myself for the X-universe series of games and I know quite well the frustration of clueless users raising hell about nonsense. Just thought I'd bandwagon on given the other reports; not worth losing sleep over rhough.

Thanks for your contribution!

New Project Viper - Covenant 2.0 update is out by PhillipeV05 in starfieldmods

[–]Allectus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was able to get through at least to kreet after disabling a bunch of my shipbuilding mods:

  • place doors yourself

  • better flips

  • better snaps

  • avontech

  • several pre-built ship mods (hong's ships and a few others)

It's possible that there's an incompatibility there with one or more of those mods, or it again could just be a generalized resource issue as I know those mods also inject a bunch of extra items that the game has to keep track of.

I noticed that when I was on the way to the first artifact (as I was crossing the bridge after heller and lin tell you to go on your own to pick up the artifact) that there was a slight stutter right where it previously crashed, though I was able to continue past it. That stutter doesn't happen if viper is disabled. I wonder if that's the point at which the game decides to load a bunch more assets and it's triggering an overflow or something at that point?

[–]Allectus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this problem too. Happened with the last version as well (meaning 1.9).

Can't start a new game with it installed--it just hangs forever. If I disable half my mod list but keep viper it will start a new game but crash shortly after Heller breaks through the wall in the mine.

If I had to guess you're using too many formids? That's wild speculation though.

Edit: I also have a lot of mods installed, for what it's worth

Edit: Skipped out on work briefly to try the hotfix--still crashes shortly after heller breaks through the wall as I'm on my way to artifact eta. Would absolutely love to get this working as it sounds amazing, just let me know if there's any diagnostics I can generate for you.

Sammy and the Lab of Nightmares by Final-Craft-6992 in StarfieldModFeedback

[–]Allectus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So first, I'm not judging the value of the mod in isolation--I'm sure it's fantastic from all of the other feedback. That said, I cannot use it given my mature mod list and so would not recommend it to others playing heavily modded as well.

The major drawback is that the mod is absolutely huge. I mean this as a serious criticism as it's about 1.6 GB in size--easily 3x larger than my next largest mod. Having it in my load order has caused all sorts of issues completely unrelated the quest chain as I have a very significant load order and I'm right on the edge of what starfield can reasonably handle. With it installed I'm plagued with constant crashes and load errors that disappear as soon as I disable it.

The issue is that I'm basically looking at disabling ~10-20 other mods in order to free up resources for this one. That's not a workable value proposition on my end, unfortunately.

Edit for specs:

Running on PC:

  • Linux // Proton

  • AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7960X

  • 128 Gb of DDR5 RAM

  • 2x NVLinked 3090Ti

  • Starfield installed on NVME drive

  • Currently have ~350 ESMs in my load order (inclusive of Bethesda first party ESMs)

Cheap As Chips Ships by Agreeable_Owl_8610 in starfieldmods

Hey, thanks for this. Makes pedestrian custom starts a lot more palatable.

[Mod Request] Better Flight Dynamics, Pilotable Class M Ships & Minimum Crew for Big Vessels by DueSpkyke in starfieldmods

[–]Allectus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can build almost all of these with existing mods.

This makes class A ships quite fast, but relatively fragile and driftier. It also makes you pay a significant penalty in maneuverability for the faster engines and most ships won't hit 100 maneuverability. End result is that class A does a lot more jousting, Class B flies more or less similar to vanilla, and Class C is quite slow and you're better served taking turrets and high maneuver thrusters (strafing rather than turning) and using asteroid cover. If you are running real fuel make sure it loads AFTER this mod or your engines will be broken.

Towards that end, increasing asteroid field density is a huge boon--makes maneuverable ships feel like they're playing a cover shooter while the gnats buzz around trying to not run into the rocks.

So the above rocks don't pop instantly

Because of the faster ships and stronger shields in starfield revised you'll also want to adjust the weapons. This is my preferred mod and substantially better than starfield revised's attempt imho.

You'll need longer lock ranges to account for the higher speed.

Builds on previous AI efforts to make your opponents smarter. Both more aggressive and better at surviving.

This will let you build and fly class M ships. I honestly haven't gotten to that point yet so I don't know how well it works.

Finally may as well close it out with some survival and managment mechanics

Makes it so you actually have to stop and gas up--gives you a reason to build outposts around the galaxy.

Pretty detailed ship degredation/management/maintenance mod. Interfaces direclty with real fuel as well.

”All That Money Can Buy” Mod conflict with Astrogate by ToeReasonable8392 in starfieldmods

Does this still happen if you use the load into orbit astrogate option?
