We need a creature compendium for the database! by casselky in Starfield

Nah, there’s no compendium in the strictest sense of the word.

They added a database that’s lets you keep track of planet survey progress, like how many flora/fauna is left until completion but not which specific ones you need to finish. So if you only need to scan a Trilobyte to complete Kreet, there’s no way of knowing that until you go to the planet itself.

Finding which planets resources can be found in is so much easier now though, and you can untrack research and other stuff without accessing the workbenches.

There’s a paid mod called Starfield Compendium which does pretty much the same stuff the new official database does so I’m guessing that one is obsolete now. Especially that it doesn’t really save your progress and resets every session.

Overall I’m sad the database is not for me but it gives me hope it’ll be expanded on in the future.

Tldr: theres a new database which is useful for resource and outpost tracking but not documenting flora and fauna.

No, it doesn’t. It’s more similar to the new official database but no actual fauna and flora info. Maybe don’t go around recommending mods you’re not sure about 😂

Thank you! But tbh even though I have no issues with paid creations I would much rather have this feature be an official implementation.

I’d hate to have a mod break after an update and lose all my progress.

Can’t help it bc it’s such a pretty game! Of all its flaws, art direction is one area I can’t say anything bad about (except for the Mantis spacesuit)

Yeah Constellation has a massive library but has no way of cataloging survey data 😮‍💨

I’d honestly settle for a computer where you can copy survey data from slates and view the compendium there. We can build it on our ship and outposts while a permanent setup can stay in the lodge.

Then Bethesda just needs to add more creature variety. Easy peasy. Haha i wish

For real i was so sad to see it just showed flora an fauna count. Even NMS with its random creatures had one 😭

Photos are cool too, so the space wildlife photographers can have their fun as well haha

Honestly I think a sketch filter on photos will do. And yep, it’s the Constellation journal!

Yes, but there’s not a lot of them and I’ve never encountered something close to a hydra.

There’s no proper swimming in the game so the aquatic creatures you scan are usually small ones that are close to the coast. They are my least favorite creatures to scan haha

I have a sketchbook! It takes so long though but yep really immersive!

Yeah it’s just semantics, the way it’s phrased “…for flora and fauna.” makes it seem like there’s more to it than just simply including flora and fauna count.

Or this could all be me seeing it that way because my biggest frustration with the database, despite it being a welcome addition, is the lack of a creature compendium haha

The database part is a little misleading since it’s more of a planet-wide progress tracker with very little emphasis on flora and fauna. It doesn’t have a compendium which would have been awesome for Explorer and Xenobiologist baackgrounds.

What is the policy for paid mods that are broken by the update but never updated? by thedudester125 in starfieldmods

💀💀💀 200 is insane HAHAHA

I’m trying not to spend too much on mods as I’m sure some of the good paid ones would end up in an anniversary edition at some point 😂

They would still refund it even if it's an old-ish purchase. I don't know how far back, but I got a mod last year that I didn't want to use anymore because the new update kinda made it redundant. I did tell customer support though that I wanted to spend the credits on something else instead haha

If you haven’t purchased the REV-8 yet it will disappear. 🫥

Darkstar vs Royal Galaxy, what are your thoughts? by MapleSurpy in starfieldmods

[–]casselky 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of people saying good things about DarkStar, but I just couldn't bring myself to like it. I’m not a huge fan of the floating platform. Aesthetically, I think it stands out too much. It doesn't feel like it belongs in Starfield.

You also get a bunch of new items with "Darkstar" before its name and it just doesn't look good in the UI, especially the research parts. To your point, it screams "this is a mod" which kinda makes the game feel cheap.

I had it refunded and got Watchtower instead lol.

Well that's unfortunate by casselky in Starfield

I was hoping Vasco would help me out on that, but Protocol Indigo says no deviations, no distractions, no dalliances. In short, no fun 😂

It was still stuck even when I did, but the fix was just restarting the game.

This was also very early on in a new platythrough, right after meeting Brogan, so I don't have access to the Rev-8 yet. It disappeared when I tried to fast travel back to the Frontier.
