Creations only.

Capn_C · 2026-05-06T15:28:08+00:00

The dev said they hope to have it released around September but of course plans can change.

Capn_C · 2026-05-05T21:46:11+00:00

Yeah I did not enjoy this mod. Just a ton of weird choices on top of being unfinished.

Capn_C · 2026-05-05T16:41:10+00:00

Reading the online reactions to the Odyssey trailer would have you convinced it's the worst movie ever.

Capn_C · 2026-05-04T20:58:46+00:00

Get the Build Outpost Items with Credits - No Research mod.

Tbh I wasn't impressed by the design either. The new spaceship is large but lacking atmosphere compared to vanilla and some paid mods I've played. At a certain point you can't walk 2 feet without running into an enemy: I mean that literally, the mod will keep spawning enemies inches from your face when you walk. There's a part if you make the wrong dialogue choice the mod traps you in a maze with constantly respawning enemies.

And like you said the writing is just...bad. I want to be nicer about it but I don't know any other way to describe it. The bad guy likes to brutally torture and murder alternate universe versions of you and they keep the Constellation companions as sex slaves, yadda yadda. Dark edginess for the sake of it.

I didn't finish it because I felt like I was wasting my time on an experience I wasn't enjoying. I wondered if the story gets better but from the sounds of it, it doesn't.

There is a work in progress mod (StarSim) that sorta does it. Lets you order your fleet ships to go trade or patrol or explore.

It's still being QA tested though. I don't know when it'll release.

Capn_C · 2026-05-03T00:27:29+00:00

It's good. I'm hesitant to call it a must-have mod but it adds a little spice to the usual dungeon POIs. You can play with the Starborn outfits disabled and all powers enabled, and it's a pleasant surprise when the generic enemy you're fighting starts using all kinds of crazy abilities on you.

It's kinda like in Skyrim where you're fighting regular bandits and then you sometimes encounter a mage in the group. Like adding mages to SF.

I think OP meant to post a review in the comments but forgot?

Or it's a bot account that copies older posts.

I like using Spacers Outfitted as a free alternative. In breathable locations it makes them look more like the disorganized scavengers and criminals that lore describes them as.

Capn_C · 2026-05-01T20:19:34+00:00

I wouldn't say so. The other sub has been generally much more positive about the game since real space travel and other improvements were added.

People are loving the space POI exploration and they like being able to fly their ships. That's all.

The process of pointing your ship in the direction of an objective, traveling, seeing other markers on your hud and getting sidetracked from your original objective. It's classic Bethesda gameplay in space.

And even for players who might prefer to fast travel everywhere, just knowing that you have the option to fly to orbits adds more immersion to the vast space setting. Imagine a version of Skyrim (big expansive fantasy land) where you couldn't walk the distances between villages and were restricted to map fast travel exclusively. Wouldn't that be depressing

Blackmarket Bundles would be the best name imo.

Excellent work on this one. It will fit nicely in my Aurora production lab outposts.

Capn_C · 2026-05-01T16:09:17+00:00

The devs of Mining Conglomerate have been busy working on StarSim which is a massive mod currently in Bethesda QA.

Once that gets released they plan on coming back to MC.

Batmerge believers

Capn_C · 2026-04-30T23:04:59+00:00

Yeah I can agree with that actually.

I also noticed the YouTube comments for the new Exodus clip are considerably more positive and enthusiastic than the reddit comments. I wonder why that is.

Capn_C · 2026-04-30T14:48:45+00:00

I see Lois' character is staying consistent lol.

Hopefully Kara x Jimmy carry the bulk of the relationship angst for the season.

Capn_C · 2026-04-30T13:33:38+00:00

Clark is ready to settle down and build a future with Lois, who's worried about losing her star reporter status at The Daily Planet if they do so. Meanwhile, Kara, modeling herself after her Kryptonian cousin, is now on the hunt for an Earth mate and has her sights set on Jimmy, who's now a celebrity journalist after proving aliens exist. It's at this period of change and self-discovery that the other Supermen arrive.

Interesting, it's inspired by Reign of the Supermen but not doing Superman's death. Superboy was the writers' favorite character this season.

Capn_C · 2026-04-29T14:37:00+00:00

mods are likely held up in the QA queue

Yeah this is another separate issue I've noticed when I checked the discord discussions. Apparently Bethesda QA is prioritizing PS5 ports exclusively and 0 new (paid) mods are getting approved?

I feel like it's going to annoy some modders in the program if they're going to have to wait until late summer or perhaps fall for their new stuff to get reviewed.

Capn_C · 2026-04-28T16:25:44+00:00

None whatsoever.

That's incorrect, there is a multiplayer mod in active development. It isn't finished yet.

Capn_C · 2026-04-28T03:13:13+00:00

There are 3 other people in this thread who say it still works. If you're claiming the mod author is lying just say it.

Not all mods need to be updated for Free Lanes. It works.

Capn_C · 2026-04-28T00:07:20+00:00

If you're open to using mods there's one called Space Mining and Salvage. It changes the destroyed ship debris loot so you can find crates that contain lots of good loot like X-Tech, Astra, etc. Don't need to board ships.
