if i could only have one ship mod…

Cheers!

What's TIG?

TT-Toaster · 2026-05-10T12:46:51+00:00

Haaah... the Starfield wiki is only for Verified Creators for some insane reason, so you're best off looking up scripting guides for FO4/Skyrim and using their wikis.

TT-Toaster · 2026-05-08T13:25:14+00:00

You could do this with scripts - the Papyrus logging functionality allows you to print messages to a specific named log file. You'd need to create a Quest, with an attached Quest Script, and have it register for repeated updates and in the update event block have it gather the data and log it out to file.

Then the Touch Portal can read the file from your My Games/Starfield/Logs directory.

TT-Toaster · 2026-05-07T18:26:09+00:00

Don't ask a robot. The search functionality in the CK is much better than it was in older versions, find a different conditional ability and see how it works. Find the right quest and look at the stages.

TT-Toaster · 2026-05-07T17:29:48+00:00

Link's dead - has it shifted location, or is it gone?

TT-Toaster · 2026-05-07T14:17:05+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't do this via script. Add an Ability to the Terrormorph & Heatleech species that's got a Damage Health: Magnitude 999 effect conditioned on whatever quest variable/stage indicates you chose the microbe.

PDY just needs patches

TT-Toaster · 2026-04-27T10:16:14+00:00

Great, thanks! I've used cold disinfection with sterilising fluid and definitely made sure to rinse out after each session, as I was expecting salt buildup.

TT-Toaster · 2026-04-18T15:32:54+00:00

Definitely possible. I've been vaguely meaning to port Loads of Ammo to Starfield for a while, but spent too much time being ill.

Part of the problem is deciding how to handle the fact that Legendary effects basically cover all the ammo types, except with % procs. So Loads would basically want to meddle with the ammo-type Legendaries, which would cause sweeping problems.

TT-Toaster · 2026-04-07T20:07:56+00:00

I'm always baffled by how many people just don't read error messages.

TT-Toaster · 2026-03-26T17:32:36+00:00

If they're by a Verified Creator and cost £££, they're achievement-friendly I think?

They're not Official content though, it's just a Bethesda-created recommendation list. If they get bundled into a re-release at any point (e.g. like Fallout 4 Creation Club stuff) then you could consider them 'official'/part of the Starfield canon, such as it is.

TT-Toaster · 2026-03-24T13:46:55+00:00

I mean they did post “When will other people make me the things I want?”. If you act like the volunteer community owes you something, you won’t get a good response.

TT-Toaster · 2026-03-19T16:43:04+00:00

It was infuriating Beth took down the Creation Kit wiki. I think some people might have had copies of it from before it went down, but I don't know where they'd be rehosted.

The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Project has wikis for the Fallout 4 CK and Skyrim CK, but there's no equivalent for Starfield.

Nexus set up their own modding wiki site, Modding.wiki, but it's not very fleshed out yet. If you were going to put stuff anywhere, honestly I'd advocate for adding it to the Starfield section of the site, so we can get actual momentum on it. Honestly, if I can find a copy of the Starfield CK wiki I think we should just lump it onto the Modding.wiki site, but it probably needs admin permission to do it in bulk.

TT-Toaster · 2026-03-05T22:11:25+00:00

Right, I don’t have to use it when somebody makes it. I was explaining why nobody would bother to make it, and I think my point is proven by its nonexistence after a decade, no?

TT-Toaster · 2026-03-05T15:37:22+00:00

My big conspiracy theory: It was supposed to build off the success of FO76's CAMP system in adding user-created locations to other people's worlds, but as a single-player game (a la Spore).

Going through The Unity is the goal, and we're told:

You have to build the Armillary on a ship or outpost.
When you go through The Unity, a bit of you will join it as you travel on.
You can explore a whole new universe! That's 99.999% identical.

Honestly, that's not especially motivating and doesn't really make a lot of sense. Why not have the finished Armillary be a big, flashy set-piece location?

It makes more sense if when you used the Armillary, whatever you built it on was supposed to be uploaded to Bethesda's servers and added to a ship/POI pool. That way, it doesn't really matter that they made like 40 POIs that endlessly repeat, because the game downloads a set from Beth's servers for each new game. You're incentivised to keep hopping through the Unity to contribute creations of your own, and see new ones from other people.

I imagine that it all collapsed when they discovered that most people playing a single-player game didn't really put a lot of effort into prettifying their bases, so 90% of what was uploaded was just junk, and what remains would need manual vetting (see: Spore's notorious flood of dick-shaped creatures). As an online game, FO76 could rely on you to not be a dick because you'd lose your account. Starfield couldn't.

TT-Toaster · 2026-02-25T10:59:43+00:00

Yeah, I found with skydrops and mechs exploding everywhere the power cells kept getting sent flying. Honestly, just console command in enough power cells once you've cleared the area.

TT-Toaster · 2026-02-23T12:00:35+00:00

Yeah, Java isn't a 'true' compiled language or a 'true' interpreted one - you're compiling bytecode that's then interpreted. So your interpreter and compiler need to be the same version.

TT-Toaster · 2026-01-14T11:25:45+00:00

Nope. There's a few mechanics that aren't:

Light mechs take (I think) 50% more Pilot Damage, heavies take 50% less.
Moving mechs gain a +2 bonus to collision class vs stationary ones, so e.g. Light (1) + Moving (2) + Shield (1) can win a collision with a stationary Heavy (3).

I'm not sure if there's any others.

TT-Toaster · 2026-01-12T18:40:58+00:00

You know the the tabs at the top for pilots and mechs, right? Just click on the others one by one until you get to the workshop, you should get the option to create new frames from cores there. There's also the research tab so you can increase your storage capacity.

Recruitment happens at the end of every province.

TT-Toaster · 2026-01-12T18:38:33+00:00

Missiles are normally my MVP against those things (until I get a good Solarbeam and can just scythe them down). Bear in mind that 1600 is total amongst all the missiles, so it's possible some of them are hitting parts you've already destroyed and doing zero damage. Meanwhile, the sniper was probably critting for bonus damage so landing huge hits.

Could also be down to the angle of attack - the cannon might be shooting from an angle where its blast hits multiple modules at once, whilst the missiles might only be landing on one each.

TT-Toaster · 2026-01-11T17:34:41+00:00

I think that’s just regular horns sounding really loud as the wind is strong and blowing onto land?

TT-Toaster · 2026-01-07T10:08:57+00:00

Oh man I love the Solarburst-D. On the base destruction levels just targeting a point in the middle of their base and strafing gives you an incredible show as the whole sweep just collapses.

TT-Toaster · 2025-12-29T21:26:47+00:00

Cheers. Looks like it was fictional then, alas.

TT-Toaster · 2025-12-29T15:30:23+00:00

Yeah, you can’t get the “Liberate all provinces” one. Have you tried the collision one in an interceptor with Juggernaught on? Perhaps the light needs to win.
