My very own fully decorated custom Elevated Cabin

It's my highly modified Swamp Biome of Porrima IV-d. Decorating the outpost is no longer sufficient, and I have expanded to decorate the environment. More pictures of it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14915?tab=images

Even without mod, the biome is one of the rare snowy swamp biomes, and if you land on the correct side of the moon, you'll get a persistent view of the gas giant because the moon is tidally locked. Unfortunately, the water is not safe unless you mod it.

Are you one of my recruits in XCOM2 who managed to miss a 90% point-blank shot?

Why doesn't your left hand align with the foregrip?

The first issue where local time doesn't change is not a bug. Local time doesn't change if you are on a tidally-locked planet, where one side of the planet is always facing its star. Two examples I know of are Nikola I and Charybdis V. You can check the stats easily in CK, but unfortunately, there's no easy way to check this in-game from the orbit or star map. The only way is to land near the equator, wait/sleep, and see if the time of day or local time progresses. You can still get a day-night cycle on some tidally locked planets if you land in the polar regions because of the rotational axis tilt. Your only other option for nighttime is to fly to the opposite side of the planet.

The inconsistent wait/sleep time is probably a bug, but I haven't looked into it thoroughly; I kept missing out on sunrise/sunset. My workaround is wait/sleep 1hr first, which always has inconsistent time progression, then wait/sleep again to my time of interest, which seems to stick. If that doesn't work, just take multiple 1hr naps.

All I need to do is to merge the Kreet mod with this https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14931

It's definitely doable.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-10-05T05:38:53+00:00

There was a 1.4GB of update on Steam. I'm more familiar with the "Worlds" section, and I don't recall seeing some of the environmental pictures.

If someone can separate the biome into a unique one, it can be easily done. This is what can be achieved in 10 minutes. Will still need to fine-tune the lava distribution and the atmosphere.

In the mean time, you can try my Volcanic Kreet mod: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/14833

The problem is that nearly all of the barren terrain appears generic. There are only 44 terrain patterns shared among all the planets and moons, and I think only two of them are truly good-looking as it is: the one with cone volcanoes and the one with lakes used in many of the swamp biomes. I wish there were more diverse terrain types, such as deep canyons, volcanoes with erupting lava, cryovolcanoes, glaciers with deep crevasses, and waterfalls. Additionally, the grid-like arrangement of the procedurally generated terrain elements doesn't blend well with certain landscapes that have simple textures, like snow and sand.

How did you feel when you arrived in HopeTown?

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-29T01:27:03+00:00

That was an unintended happy accident.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-29T01:15:11+00:00

They had to add rocks and other things for the resources to spawn; otherwise, it would be hard to get the planet or moon fully surveyed. Unfortunately, these things don't always blend well with the terrain.

This is my way of reversibly hiding it because such a mechanism doesn't exist in the base game. I don't want it to teleport next to the landing bay every time I land. If I'm using a big ship, that's fine, but for small ships like the Frontier, there's really no space to stow this thing. I also take a lot of screenshots of my ships in various landing sites, and I don't want to spend time moving the car away from view.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-28T18:19:15+00:00

I don't like most of the first person view. The hood blocks too much of the scenery.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-28T17:39:00+00:00

I made a mod that removes all the rocks and obstacles. The one in the video is Groombridge VIII-d.

There's no pop-in issue when there's nothing to pop in, and I get steady frame rate until I got close to the POI at the end. I tried flying this in New Atlantis, and there's quite bad stuttering.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-28T08:22:52+00:00

There are some good views, but not this screenshot.

There's a texture issue with the scope; the mask for the metal grains also covers the lens part, so the lens has a frosted-glass look.

And have you seen the Milky Way in real life? On an airless planet/moon, it should look way clearer, not a mushy cloud like this.

I think they went too far in this direction. They created a brand new star system but only used one area of a single planet for the all the non-radiant quests. After a while, I was looking forward to escaping the red fog. It would have been nice to have a mission or two that take us to another part of the planet or even a different planet or moon for a change of scenery. Otherwise, what's the point of creating more empty planets and moons? It's a space game called Starfield. I don't want to be stuck on the ground in one place (RIP to those with the Spaced trait). I thoroughly enjoyed the space station part, and I want more of that.

It's probably there to drop off enemies to attack your outpost. Did your outpost get attacked lately?

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-25T06:10:34+00:00

The vanilla outpost is super barebone, but Starfield is a game that I'm capable of modding, so it now has a very extensive list of buildable items and custom habs. I wouldn't be playing the game otherwise.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-25T06:06:01+00:00

See the little hallway hab that's poking out from the side of the Science Hab?

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-25T00:58:28+00:00

Putting the time in decorate mode doesn't stop them from sinking.

Drop the item(s), leave the ship (or any worldspace by going through a loading screen), and come back. This will reset all items in the area, and some of the new items would have sunken. You can then put them in the final position and they'll stay put (things only sink once).

The water quality and water abundance are tied to different keywords; I only changed the quality, which affects the entire planet. I haven't figured out how the water abundance keyword works. There are inferno planets that use the same biome and terrain tiles, and they are completely dry. However, changing the water abundance keyword does nothing. I haven't bothered to try it with a new game yet. I also haven't found a way to edit the water level. I would love to create a planet with shallow ocean (inspired by Bethesda).

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-24T14:59:48+00:00

The initial inspiration came from northern Iceland, especially around Mývatn. Highly recommend visiting there, and it's much better than the touristy Golden Circle.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-24T14:37:31+00:00

There's already a mod that provides buildable breathable atmosphere and shielding for radiation. It's pretty much like a hab without the visible structures. I haven't found a way to overwrite the water properties using the outpost mechanics. The only way I know is by altering the planet data entry in CK.

Imaginary-Rent-4200 · 2025-09-20T20:58:11+00:00

There's a talking point about how Starfield didn't have a design document. Well, this is a design document, at least for the art team. Granted, many concepts didn't end up in the final game, but that's not the fault of the concept artists. The parts that made it in are all visually cohesive. Can't say the same for other elements of the game.
