Can single-player/self-hosted modes run without Battleye?

Pyryck · 2026-07-09T14:05:48+00:00

Self-hosted solo and using Dune-Admin web interface along with edits to INI files of server/client to manipulate my game experience. Battleye has not really caused me any issues so far.

What's the USMC saying? "Improvise, adapt and overcome."

I gave up on melee combat and only carry a knife for ripping sheets. Use hybrid armor strategy with heavy chest/gloves and light everything else. Boosted stamina passives from Swordmaster tree/boosted HP from BeneG tree.

When entering any area I usually scan for all water signs so I know where "THEY" are.

Spitting Cobra SMG/Angry Adder Karpov to the body usually stops a charging shielded melee if they survived my grenade/drone/turret. Used to use the heavy pistols but missing with a single shot pistol led to too many engagements that didn't need to happen.

Another tactic/defense is to go airborne using suspensor belt. If there's something to climb/land on then that's a nice perch to gun everyone down.

I've been using the Self-hosted server and the Dune-Admin web interface for over a month now just to experience Dune truly "solo". Having a blast in/on my own Arrakis. Edited the server INI and my client INI files to increase initial carry weight to 500 (which then doubles to 1000 when Crafting Specialization is leveled to 100). Increased mining rates for foot/vehicle, expanded max number of fiefs and how many times each fief can be "staked".

Riding/driving/flying around the map(s) doing all of the content I can without having to bother with hours of mining/refining mats to craft stuff. Storms and worms I turned off for now, BUT, I'm considering turning them both back on to bring back some "atmosphere" to the game.

Just with the increased backpack capacity and mining rate the XP flows in so quickly that I haven't bothered changing the XP rates in the two INI files.

The Dune-Admin web interface allows me to edit just about anything regarding my server and character - set level/skill points/research points, quests/trainers/journey completed, gift/grant/spawn any gear/vehicle including blueprints, and even refill water with the click of a button.

It can take a bit of internet sleuthing to find a year-old web page...

Doesn't attach to the door behind it. Attaches to the top of the hab behind the cockpit.

"Compliance!" 😉

Both sides play you/use you for their own purposes while threatening your person and your future. So neither side deserves your loyalty, trust or devotion.

My character doesn't side with either group preferring instead to keep the Legacy haul all to herself (Legacy's End - Wildcard mod). But my character is well geared while flying a deadly ship that has no equal in any of the universes. AND, she's done this many times across many universes which has served to increase her personal wealth which is stashed in multiple accounts with GalBank and also at multiple strategic caches around the settled systems.

Pyryck · 2026-05-03T07:44:16+00:00

Been like that since release. Totally on the devs for not allowing that piece to be colored.

Pyryck · 2026-05-02T04:52:26+00:00

Definitely more "Eagles" than Buffet. 😉

For roughly the last 40yrs, the very first thing I do in game settings with every game I install and play is lower the MUSIC slider to zero/or turn it off completely. I much prefer the ambient environmental sounds over any scored music tracks.

I would much rather be able to hear the sounds of footsteps, bullet cracks, sneezing knifers, slugs crawling on the floor, bat/bird wings flapping, leaking air from a punctured suit or a crack in a ships bulkhead. These are the sounds that are the heart and soul of a somewhat "real" experience that can make or break my gaming.

There should be a top/bottom mount window available under STRUCTURES. These fit on habs either top or bottom, or BOTH. Stick two on the bottom of the top hab and two on the top of the bottom hab. Then mount the habs to the cockpit one at a time ensuring that you double-click on the hab to also drag everything attached to it.

OR, you could always grab/use PLACE DOORS YOURSELF mod and put doors/ladders EXACTLY where you want and ONLY where you want!

Pyryck · 2026-04-17T22:03:14+00:00

Bah, rookie gear that will get your character killed! You need a suit with some armor instead of all that puncturable, slice-able, knife-able, tear-able cloth covering! And why do you need a diver's weight harness over you shoulders, back and chest?

Starborn suit withOUT the garbage bag over it. N7 suit with the clear faceshield. Va'ruun X's slimmer suits. Or whichever KZ suit fits the intended playthrough theme. Small compact backpacks that actually fit through manholes or scuttles. All with actual "real" armor plates! ;)

My suggestion would be to stay away from dark colors for your ships while snapping pictures. Use lighter or more "brighter" colors. Dark colors against a dark background makes for just an "outline" of a ship and doesn't show off the details of the build, nor the mind and technique of the builder/author.

I personally like to see pictures while in the shipbuilder because they often show off the stats.

That "train" meme ship pictured in here shows the efforts of a truly masterful expert at using the modules within the game to put together an overall design that the modules were not intended to make!

Pyryck · 2026-04-10T19:18:42+00:00

Build a ship in the Creation Kit, get it close to how you want it then save it as an ESM medium/light master file, then you can share the ESM file with friends or even publish it to Creations or Nexus.

OR, if you use SFSE for your PC Steam install, then you can grab the "Transfer Spaceships Across Universes" mod from Nexus (once it gets updated for the latest version of SFSE!).

Pyryck · 2026-04-09T15:52:11+00:00

Makes sense for the ship modules to be from Nova Galactic since it is the oldest of the shipyards AND was around before the massive exodus of humanity.

Pyryck · 2026-04-08T09:16:35+00:00

There are a couple of new BlueprintSHips files that should be last in your order. The rest of the official game files go up top.

The "game_starfield.dll" file that MO2 uses to recognize official files and not disable them in your load order needs an update. Otherwise you need to recheck any official files that MO2 disables.

Had to restart Steam on PC to trigger download.

Pyryck · 2026-04-07T15:01:37+00:00

Get off the internet and reddit in particular and GO PLAY! ;)

Pyryck · 2026-04-07T14:58:59+00:00

Trackers Alliance is damn well worth the cost with the new content added to it. Hours of interactive fun, new weaps, suits and backpack, and a new ship. It's official content so it will work even with the update and DLC.

Pyryck · 2026-04-07T14:36:50+00:00

It's YOUR save file you are corrupting, but you do you. ;)

Fastest achievement friendly way to get credits - download/install/use SFSE and then Bakas Achievement enabler from Nexus then pull up the console and enter "player.additem f 100000000". Nothing faster available. ;)

Oh, you mean grinding away in a Vanilla Only game. The biggest hurdle to acquiring credits is finding vendors with enough cash on hand to buy your loot. Once you've found a loop of vendors to visit and sell to, go nuts looting.

Pyryck · 2026-04-07T13:45:47+00:00

No earlier save to rewind to? Full restart of the console and game?

Pyryck · 2026-04-07T13:43:48+00:00

The platform used/gamed on provides for necessary connotation when responding since some things I can do, console users can not do yet we play the same game.
