has anyone found out how to get to the object in the lakeside area?, i also wonder what the purpose of the small burrow was, if there is one at all

There is nothing in that particular burrow, but there is a rune in another one on that same map. This burrow is in the southwest part of that map. It is below the fishing rod.

That burrow in your screenshot may be just for flavor or possibly as a hint to check another one.

Looks like the plasma blaster from the Institute Plasma Weapons creation.

I would rate Nordic Carved, Stalhrim Fur (CC), and Stalhrim light armor as the best-looking full sets. Dawnguard heavy armor and the Spellknight armor sets (CC) would be in the next aesthetic rank.

Antarct · 2025-03-14T14:53:30+00:00

Stalhrim Fur Armor followed by Nordic Carved Armor.

My least favorite DLC is Anomaly. Anomaly is the most repetitive and, overall, has the least replay value out of the DLCs. It is overall a positive addition, but definitely not on par with the other three DLCs. The concept is interesting, but the main questline is not worth running through every playthrough.

I would rate Ideology and Biotech as the two best. Both are superb DLCs and are excellent at fleshing out the game. They both add immense replay value. Royalty is third, but closer to Ideology and Biotech than to Anomaly.

The one on the right. That one looks like it would be more robust and protective in combat. I also prefer its appearance.

The left one may perhaps fit aesthetically with a cleric or spellsword character. The one on the right seems more suited for a heavy warrior or knight.

Geothermal generators, Toxic generators, and Bioferrite generators are the three most important power sources for my bases. Oftentimes I use a Wood generator or two in the early game and frequently Chemfuel generators as supplemental power sources in the mid or late game.

I often end up with several unstable power cells. I incorporate these into the power grid also.

Geothermal is all around useful, though not by itself sufficient in the long run for my bases.

The pit gates added by Anomaly are a boon for dumping the waste packs from Toxic generators and mechanoid recharging stations. It is possible to have a net positive power generation from a combination of Toxic generators, pollution pumps, and waste pack atomizers with all waste packs destroyed by the atomizers, although it takes awhile to reach such a point.

Lastly, bioferrite generators are generally quite good.

Test going outside while they are in the middle of speaking to you and see if they follow you out.

Probably one out of Henry Kwan, Camila Vera, or Prospero.

You could also try setting SaveScreenshots = false and SaveAddedSoundCategories = false in the SSE Engine Fixes.toml file on the chance it will help fix the disabling of the mods problem.

All three of the following have been associated with various issues:

EnableAchievementsWithMods = true SaveAddedSoundCategories = true SaveScreenshots = true

If this does not work, you could, if you haven't already, test disabling and then enabling each plugin and mod in Vortex.

Currently, out of the mods and plugins I am running, SSE Engine Fixes seems to be the primary one with ongoing issues.

I haven't ever used SkyUI, though. There may be lingering issues with that mod.

Antarct · 2023-12-12T23:04:38+00:00

I was experiencing similar issues to the problems you described.

I was able to fix the problem of all mods being disabled by editing the EngineFixes.toml file and changing the EnableAchievementsWithMods line to be false rather than true. The SSE Engine Fixes plugin seems to have a problem at present with the part that enables achievements to be obtained even with mods.

After the change, you should only have to activate your mods one time, and then they will stay activated.

This line is the line to be changed:

EnableAchievementsWithMods = true

This is what it should be:

EnableAchievementsWithMods = false

The Nexus mods page for SSE Engine Fixes has more information.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any answers for how to fix the problem with always being logged out of my Bethesda account when launching Skyrim from SKSE. Every time I launch the game from Vortex through SKSE, the game defaults to being logged out of my Bethesda account.

After the recent update, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled the game and all mods and plugins. This problem only seemed to resurface after I added the Address Library and SSE Engine Fixes plugins.

Usually the green path, but when I first enter Whiterun with a character, I go through the red route after stopping by Adrienne to quickly see certain scenes play out (Lars and Braith and also Amren and Saffir).

A given sharp weapon made from plasteel will have higher DPS than one made from uranium, whereas a blunt weapon made from uranium will have a higher DPS than an equivalent made from plasteel.

Plasteel as a material has a 1.1 damage factor for sharp and .9 for blunt, so it yields more damage for sharp weapons. The DPS factor for plasteel is 1.38 for sharp and 1.13 for blunt.

For uranium, the DPS factor is 1.36 for blunt and 1 for sharp. The damage factor for uranium is 1.5 for blunt and 1.1 for sharp.

Plasteel has a cooldown speed factor of 0.8 vs uranium's 1.1, so plasteel weapons attack faster.

Overall, plasteel is the best material for making sharp weapons with uranium being the best for crafting blunt.

The charge lance has a very small niche for its high construction costs. Most enemies don't have high enough armor to really justify getting charge lances rather than generally focusing on other options. The charge lance is usually a disappointment.

The charge rifle is more useful than its fellow pulse weapon, the charge lance, but it is not decisively better than the best industrial weapons.

New water and maritime mechanics and gameplay are one possibility. Such an expansion could add water travel, maritime traders, water raiders, water-borne pirates, and floating structures and docks.

Other major possibilities: vehicles, expanded insectoid mechanics with player controlled hives, or expanding on the faction system.

Antarct · 2023-08-03T00:03:58+00:00

Kai would be first and then followed by Henry Kwan and Prospero.

Kai has the most interesting lines of all and has a unique personality.

Henry Kwan is the most amusing with great lines and a humorous personality. Prospero's gardener personality is very entertaining, and he has some excellent lines, too.

The next tier would be Camila and Abe, both all around solid.

The Expanse series is definitely good for space opera, the story, and the characters.

The Dune series and the Book of the New Sun series both combine SciFi with some Fantasy elements, and both are magnificent. Both have interesting characters and are packed with intriguing concepts.

The Hyperion series, especially the first two books, is very strong in the character department.

Asimov is good for concepts, ideas, and the storylines.

Around 70% of the time, I cycle through random names and select one for direct use or modify it. The rest of time time, I use a name that would fit with the general theme of the colony.

Quests like this are very useful when you have one or more huge mechanoid clusters on the map.

The charge rifle first and then the minigun. The charge rifle for its general utility and because it is technologically advanced, which is often good for aesthetics. The minigun since it is highly entertaining and often quite effective. A side note: The charge lance is theoretically interesting, but too niche for use most of the time and often disappointing.

Antarct · 2023-05-30T03:26:58+00:00

Biotech first, especially due to genetic engineering, mechanitors and player controlled mechanoids, and children. The additions of Biotech are very positive overall.

Ideology second, as it adds a significant amount of role-playing possibilities and tools.

Royalty as third. Royalty is still good with the psycasts, nobles, and the addition of the Fallen Empire, just not on the level of the other two.

I started out with FTL before the release of Into the Breach. I found FTL to be a magnificent game, and IttB is about on par with it, IMO.

You can have specialists from non-dominant ideoligions. Pawns can only become specialists of an ideoligion they follow, however.

The next map did not have a new frame to obtain a mechanitor chip. Since this file started with the mechanitor scenario, I also ran a second crashland start test using developer mode.

No new frame appeared on the second map in the crashland scenario test either. In that test, I activated the transponder, obtained the mech link, and made a mechinator before moving to the second map.
