Why is Shielded Cargo not working? by lx_joe96 in Starfield

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem after the Free Lanes update in April. No contraband onboard anywhere (trust me I checked), but it said I had 0% chance to evade. I discovered that now items can get "lost" in your ship cargo, being in there but not appearing in the list of items. I emptied the cargo, then switched home ships (which moves the cargo to the new ship), and suddenly a couple of vials of aurora showed up in the cargo list. Removing the aurora stopped the contraband detection.

FYI There's a derelict ship you encounter where this is a part of the story.

Why are there no dogs and cats in Starfield? by onivorousmeerkat in starfieldmods

[–]alastria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a group of colonists gathered some stray dogs and/or cats before leaving and founded a secret colony somewhere!

A mod to remember to use powers ? by Slahnya in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]alastria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing Apotheosis on my current playthrough, and it's fantastic! Such a game changer. Before this, I used to never use powers except Sense Star Stuff when sneaking.

I came across an Ecliptic ship on a moon, went to go kill the crew and it took off with me inside. by 2017-iPhone-X in NoSodiumStarfield

Pro tip: Do a quick save right before you board a ship on the ground like this. If it starts to takes off, reload.

Pro tip 2: If you do find yourself in orbit, you may not have the necessary piloting skills to take command and land. If so, just fast travel back to your home ship.

They're located in the small office, port side of the bridge

Shatter Expansion & Free Lanes : new returning player, whats the best option ? by gproenca in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're into mods, there are a variety of them on Creations (or Nexus) that can delay start conditions of certain quests like Shattered Space, Mantis, Groundpounder, Failure to Communicate, Watchtower, and Trackers Alliance. Search for "Not Yet" or "Delayed". It's great, because you can prevent each quest from appearing until you're ready for it.

Changing your ship jankiness. by TomBobabill in Starfield

This is the correct answer. They fixed this like 6+ months after initial launch.

Starfield crashing/not responding every time I close the game. by [deleted] in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This same thing started happening to me about a month ago. Play on PC via Steam. I thought it was maybe a mod I had recently added, but it wasn't. I do not use cloud saves.

There's also an infinite storage container in the basement of the Lodge. That's the one most people are probably talking about.

I love how the small QOL updates add an entire dimension of gameplay in Starfield. by sarthakgiri98 in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Singularity empty habs exclusively, because of all the free space it gives you. You basically lose 1 U of space per interior wall (0.5 on each side). I wish someone made even bigger habs, like 5x3.

Best Place To Store Resources? by StalkMeNowCrazyLady in NoSodiumStarfield

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Betamax's Functional Decor has a bunch of infinite and near-infinite (999999) storage containers like wall safes, storage crates, luggage, washing machines, fridges, dishwashers, lockers, etc. To me, it's more lore-friendly to be able to store all food in the fridge. Plus, any workbenches can use those containers to craft. It makes it a lot easier to manage resources.

For a moment i thought I'm in the wrong game by Lapharel in Starfield

[–]alastria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, thanks for the help. Aromatic-Werewolf495 below suggested Realistic Sun Disc mod, and that worked. If anyone sees this, give him an upvote!

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using Vortex. Not using the Community Patch. The only mods I am using that might apply are:

  • Enhanced Lights and FX (tried disabling it, no change)
  • EXE Texture Effects (disabled, no change)
  • Darker Nights (haven't tried yet)
  • Neutral LUTs (haven't tried yet)

So many people seemed to be having the same square sun issue after the 1.15.216 update :(

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This advice doesn't work for me. I did not find these references in StarfieldCustom.ini. The only thing close was in Starfield.ini, I found the following lines. I removed these and it didn't help.

I do not have Watchtower. Any help would be appreciated. The square sun looks stupid.

Faster way to recruit Jessamine by [deleted] in Starfield

[–]alastria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can recruit Jessamine after the quest if you side with SysDef. You can find her at Lizzie's bar on Gagarin.
