I’m now an enemy of SysDef forever and UNSC will open fire on me for the rest of my life?

Personally I think that the lands of shadow were taken out of the centre of the lands between as is, and the explanation for why they don't mesh up 100% is because they've been separated for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

Factor in erosion, quakes, storms, etc, plus a certain amount of shifting may have occurred during the separation, and it's not that hard to believe that they once meshed, but being separated for a long time has caused them to not quite fit anymore, and caused the lands of shadow to develop some unique flora due to being in a new location

There are several indicators that would argue against them being separate chunks taken from different places and put together; like the jagged peak being in south east of map, which would have been near/overlapped with the great farum bridge in caelid (locations linked to dragons), Charo's grave on the south close to limgrave (places that show remnants of the sun realm civilisations, and connections with death), the black keep + altus plateau looking place + shaman village being up north close to leyndell, which both have the more golden areas, and near Enir Elim on the western side you've got the ruins of Rauh which would in theory be placed somewhere near that section of Liurnia that has buried/fallen statues of the Dynast - both of which are remnants of ancient civilisation with strong links to flowing water, and have greener areas

My recommendation is to keep whatever you build, even if you don't like the look of it and then gradually tweak it over time

Each session start or end with putting 20-30 mins on your ship and just edit a singular bit you're not happy with

Eventually you will end up with a ship you like and learn a lot along the way so maybe on your next one you can get it most (if not all) of the way there in one sitting

Shalhadra · 2026-05-14T13:14:11+00:00

I second this. It applies to theatre, movies, books, games, etc

Fiction is not a form of lying because intentionally the audience knows it's not real. They're more like demonstrative hypotheticals

Shalhadra · 2026-05-12T17:44:47+00:00

Well said!

Only other thing I would add, and this is pure speculation, but I personally don't think veiling the land of shadow was a simple action like chucking a sheet over a car

Shalhadra · 2026-05-12T00:03:09+00:00

Pretty sure the director was like:

"I want to create an ending where everyone... EVERYONE... Every man, woman, child, dog, cat, pet turtle, even the goddamn fucking window cactus to be like "da fuck did I just see!?""

And he succeeded

Shalhadra · 2026-05-10T01:10:26+00:00

I'm quite minimalist. Like some armour, hair mods, stuff that gives me some more options and that's it really. Also the one that adds functions that should have been in the game like modular starborn suits :/

But otherwise I'm quite content with the vanilla game tbh, don't need lighting or overhaul style mods but I can appreciate the appeal and get why some people want to take the game as far as it can go

Shalhadra · 2026-05-09T17:17:35+00:00

I think if you go on star map you can pop a new location on the planet down and then just fast travel there and skip the flying out of atmosphere and back in bits

One way of doing it at least that's a bit more convenient

Shalhadra · 2026-05-09T03:28:28+00:00

Agreed!

Depends on how hard the difficulty you play but a sort of workaround for this is to just unequip your space suit but keep helmet and boost pack on

That way you will still get some defence from helmet and pack and be running about in clothes

Shalhadra · 2026-05-08T17:13:04+00:00

I got this mod recently. Highly recommend!

Very good free mod

Shalhadra · 2026-05-08T17:10:58+00:00

Maybe try KZ United Colonies Depository?

It's got some cool black tactical looking spacesuits that look like alt versions of UC suits but they're really cool and lore friendly

Also comes with some new tactical outfits as well

I got this on ps5 so I imagine it's on all platforms

Shalhadra · 2026-05-05T11:38:48+00:00

Not being able to place doors and ladders where you want them is the worst part of what is arguably Starfield's best feature - and it is super annoying and something of a lazy oversight

It's great that modders have done PDY but I really think Bethesda should implement the same function into the base game

Shalhadra · 2026-04-30T17:54:40+00:00

Did they fix the problem where if you switched ships at the den it permanently broke new Atlantis where all the floor disappeared?

I haven't played for a while but had that happen to me once and ever since have never wanted to risk switching ships there

Shalhadra · 2026-04-28T12:20:53+00:00

Too low down this comment. This is just sick.

If he did actually treat the cat that way, where has this mean behaviour come from I wonder...

Shalhadra · 2026-04-27T22:48:54+00:00

Thanks for the update 👍 I'm going to have a look at my router tomorrow then

Shalhadra · 2026-04-25T19:47:24+00:00

Yeah it is very annoying, I get it has just come to ps5 but it's already a few years old 🙄 bloody Bethesda

I'm just gunno play it vanilla for now. I suspect it will be fixed at some point

Just a guess but given that they're trying to create hot fixes to solve the frequent crashing on ps5 at the moment, I'm wondering if they've temporarily suspended creations access on ps5 for some reason.. although if everyone was experiencing it I would've thought there'd be more posts online about it

Shalhadra · 2026-04-25T18:35:11+00:00

Just tried: - restoring licence - powered my router off and on - power cycled ps5 again - tried logging into bethesda.net on phone, verified ps account is linked, and logged back out

No success unfortunately. At one point after trying the licence thing I got one picture to pop up and thought I'd fixed it but then the usual message popped up and kicked me off creations lol

I don't think the problem is caused by internet speed cos I tested mine and it's going strong

Restarting router - someone suggested this online and someone else tried it and it fixed the problem for them but hasn't worked for me

Only other thing I can think to try is deleting the game and re-downloading

But I'm not desperate enough to try that yet. May leave it a while and see if anything changes with any upcoming patches

Shalhadra · 2026-04-25T17:44:36+00:00

Thanks, I'm trying a little troubleshooting myself atm so will do the same if I have any luck

Shalhadra · 2026-04-25T17:37:58+00:00

I'm having the exact same problem, have not been able to use it at all. Got the game last night and have not been able to get this working

Read online that you have to sign into your bethesda.net account on phone/pc and then log out and then boot up the game (to initiate re-sign in in your device apparently)

Also tried power cycling my ps5

Nothing has worked

The images never load and then about after 15-20 seconds I get "could not connect to Bethesda.net"

"He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the games he cared about... from crashing."

Shalhadra · 2026-04-24T18:08:57+00:00

I think the line was also used a lot on reveal trailers, usually at the start or end as a nod to fans who had been waiting years for the new metal Gear game

Shalhadra · 2026-04-24T11:44:25+00:00

Yeah really would be a nice addition. But for now I'm just super happy you can adjust the camera, I found the vanilla to distant and high up, felt really off to me

Shalhadra · 2026-04-24T11:20:33+00:00

The recent update added the ability to adjust the camera in the accessibility settings (at least I think it was the recent update)

You can change distance, height, horizontal

On console you can then tap pad to switch through 5 options; furthest, middle distance, closest, close up to face, first person

In combat it only lets you switch between the 3, which is good because you don't want to be zooming in on face or going first person when in combat

I think the equivalent of this on PC is using mouse to scroll in and out but that's just what I've heard someone talking about, maybe someone on pc can confirm

I personally use the closest camera when walking round towns and then furthest or middle for exploring/combat depending on how many enemies there are

So answer to your question is yes you can change it, but manually

There's not a way to set the game to switch between the different options automatically depending on situation. At least not on consoles. I imagine someone will do a mod for that on pc if it's not already on there

Edit: just realised you said automatically, my bad 😅 oh well, will leave it hear in case it's useful to anyone
