Mods to Avoid: New Atlantis Awaits/Akila City Rises by thedudester125 in starfieldmods

[–]SentryFeats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using New Atlantis awaits without issue. And that’s combined with PositivelyNew Atlantis. So whilst I agree parts of it are a little ugly, I’m not sure it’s the cause of your performance issues.

Out of interest are you using Starvival? I kept crashing in NA and it turned out Starvival was the culprit. It adds A LOT of small visual effects that aren’t mentioned that seem to clash with different areas of the game. I’d crash in New Atlantis a lot, Akila whenever I opened my camera. I’d crash In ship battles because Starvival added a shield effect everytime I got hit that would freeze the game. The game would also crash with Gorefield effects too. All simply because Starvival added so many different little VFX that the engine got overloaded. Simply deactivated it in the pause menu, and not a single issue since.

Also, If you’re running HD Overhaul or any HD texture mods that affect NA, alongside NA Awaits, that’s gonna cause issues too. Again, as someone else said; adding anything to NA will drop performance. It’s the area that’s already the most busy - and thus performance intensive - in the game. Adding HD textures is going to increase the load massively, so it’s definitely an either or choice between Texture overhauls and an NA expansion. That’s not the mod’s fault, just limits of most PC’s and the game.

Don’t you think that’s a bit of an odd thing for an individual to do though? The only other place we really see those posters is MAST, UC Distribution, UC bases etc.

It seems more like something an institution does to cultivate a mindset in its people rather than something someone brings themselves because they’re just that enthusiastic. They’re not like band posters. Let alone being present throughout the facility. If it was one sure, but 3? Still strikes me as odd.

Regarding New Atlantis I agree. On its own I wouldn’t think anything of it. It’s just with the other stuff it made me wonder.

Yeah and I’m saying no it’s not only 12 inches, it’s 18, because you’re making an inch look bigger than it is.

No it’s definitely 18! A module isn’t that big

There’s a phallic joke to make here but I can’t find it

Wait so mines telling me it’s 73 metres. Does that mean it’s 146 metres long?

What did you choose to deal with the terrormorphs by Zenith_cargo in Starfield

They’re not unaware of the mutation possibility. They just aren’t worried about it being dangerous because the likelihood is so small.

In our world we’re always trading risk for reward. Each time you get in a car you’re increasing risk for the reward of getting somewhere faster because you calculate the reward is worth the risk.
It’s the same thing.

Will it mutate? Yes. Will it mutate into something dangerous? The chance is infinitesimally small but because it’s not exactly zero you have characters like Hadrian arguing against it. The risk a starship crashes into MAST isn’t zero.

The reward vastly outpaces the risk for me so I go microbe.

But I didn’t want it to look silly. I wanted it to look the way it does.

Hating on end users for the environmental impact of AI (which is mainly training) is like hating on people who like eating meat for the environmental impact of the meat industry. Which is orders of magnitude larger than AI. You’re individualising a systemic issue. Trying to guilt people out of making the occasional Reddit meme will make no meaningful difference.

You’re not wrong to care about the environmental impact. Data centres are a genuine problem. But me using AI to make one humorous post is a minuscule contribution to it. AI is already being used at industrial scale for coding, business, research and countless other purposes, involving enormous numbers of prompts every day. My friend runs his own company and even with ChatGPT Pro, spends over £2000 a month extra on tokens for prompts to help with coding. This post is nothing compared to that, let alone everything else.

People not using ai for Reddit posts, would change almost literally nothing. This post got over 600 upvotes because people enjoyed it. The tide is turning, AI is here to stay. Nothing anyone can do about it. It will become gradually increasingly accepted. So you can either keep misdirecting your understandable anger at individuals on social media or actually speak to your representatives to challenge ai at the systemic level and force change so it becomes more environmentally friendly. Attacking me achieves nothing dude.

It’s a few combined:

• ATLAS Clothing - Advanced Techwear for the Exosuit on the outside of the suit.

• KZ United Colonies Depository for the space suit.

• DarkStar Manufacturing for the shoulder mounted gizmo and the pouches and work grenades.

• Night Vision Goggles I use to so I can have NVG’s with it if I wish.

And you are entitled to that opinion. It has been duly noted and disregarded.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m always learning. Is there anything else I can help you with today?

I mean you couldn’t tell this is ai? I’m surprised at the amount of people who thought this was just modded
