Putting it to 600 just changes the max slider value. You have to then go into settings in-game and set it to your desired amount.

Gotcha. I was avoiding going into that menu because I was afraid it'd bug out from a higher than standard amount.

You don't need to worry about the game crashing from having too many things going on, it just slows down. It's very well programmed that way. Judging by how low the VRAM count is on the comparatively small number of mods I'm running right now I'm pretty sure I ran myself right out and then some in previous versions; still perfectly stable. In-person station fights don't go so great because the AI defending fleet by preference clusters behind the station instead of fighting, but that's about the start and end of problems with massive battles.

Has anyone seen bounties where there's *no* information on where to find them? As far as I'm concerned, this dude is a ghost. https://imgur.com/a/Uktp7W7 e:for some reason image linking isn't working but here's the url

That dude is a defense fleet somewhere in the system so nominally by ain inhabited planet of the faction, stable point with improvement like a nav buoy, or a jump point. Somewhere also helpfully includes being off the system grid on the map tab chasing a pirate fleet or whatever so have fun lol

Use the Neutrino Detector. It picks up fleets along with salvageables.

If the mission is still active, they're somewhere, but yeah those can be an amazing pain in the rear end. In settings.json, you can change the base sensor power to 50000 and the max detection culling range to same if you want to cheat.

Download the mod neutrino detector mk2. Also bounty fleets tend to do annoying things sometimes like chasing a remnant fleet far off the map. https://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=20066 One such example.

Is there a way to get the neutrino detector and ziggurat if you’re using the randomised core setting from nex? It gives you a Janus device but no neutrino detector and I haven’t seen any random gravity wells around for the zig

I'm still really new to this and busy exploring the vanilla game. But I slowly want to start adding mods and am especially interested in more ships. Which ship mods would you recommend to a newbie and where can I get the American Eagle one from the first post?

The 'Murica ship is a special bounty target included in Tiandong, which hasn't been updated yet, I'm afraid. As far as ship mods, you might wanna start off with more vanilla-adjacent mods instead of ones which add whole factions. Off the top of my head, the most major currently updated "vanilla extensions" are Vayras Ship Pack and Torchships and Deadly Armaments. There's also SWP, but that's still in the process of updating and will probably be a while.

 I think I've made my point to the Hegemony, the League, the Church, the Path, the pirates and the independents. Tri-Tach and Sindria get to stay because they didn't object to my AIs or the total murder of the rest of the sector. Pity there's no market for my goods anymore, but that seems like a decent cap to the campaign. Also there seems to be one independent station in Magec that can't be destroyed by any means. A bug, or some way of making sure that you can't completely depopulate the sector and make the game unwinnable for yourself? Daktar fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Apr 29, 2021 |

Also Shadowyards. Outer Rim Alliance is very fun, but you have to be careful with their loadouts or the AI won’t realize that they are meant for broadsides.

A few story-vital locations can't be destroyed until their role in the story is done. It's very likely that the flag saying "okay we're done with this place, you can blow it up now" doesn't get removed properly, there was a very similar bug with gates that were permanently unscannable due to ships in the way that weren't actually there any more that got fixed a patch or two ago.

So I finally got to the point where I could take on the Motherships this game. Halfway through the battle I realized I was missing a bunch of Ramparts. There were supposed to be about 10 of them, but I'd only blown up two or three. Then I hit Tab. https://i.imgur.com/ub5Yppc.png  Godspeed little Eagle. Godspeed. :edit: Spoilered just to be safe.

If yes There is a joke in the modding community that every faction gets their own reskin of the Onslaught. Reskinned Onslaughts are like a baby's first mod ship tradition or something. Someone made a Tesseract Onslaught, which is terrifying for obvious reasons if you know what Tesseracts are.

Can anyone recommend me a list of mods that don't veer wildly from the design ethos of base Starsector and that wont effect game balance? The one I've heard most about is Nex, but what else should I get? Been playing the game for years without mods and I think it's time I change that EDIT: While I'm asking questions: has anyone noticed that the game becomes a bit unstable around late game this patch?

I would probably say that most of the mods don't diverge too far from the game's art style but a lot of them do it in wildly different directions from each other. So while most mod content will fit with the game, it won't necessarily fit with all the other mods? Also it depends on what you think is the biggest divergence, shadowyards probably isn't that far diverged from high tech but everything is painted extremely green so it's probably one of the weirdest looking factions in that respect. But I don't think "paint" is domain restricted technology in the sector it's just most of the factions don't use it and a lot of mods do to give their ships a stronger theme. I would say most faction mods have a distinct theme and will lack the comparatively shared technology of the vanilla factions, but that's just part of them being faction mods. There's stuff like the ship and weapon pack that adds generic ships that aren't faction aligned, and there's stuff like tiandong and the roiders which are based around refitting/kitbashing existing designs. And there's stuff like Mayasura that stick very closely to a pre-established theme (midline) but honestly I would just install stuff and try a few quick start games with everything and see what you like?

Seeker - Unknown Contact and Tahlan shipworks are good and don't add new factions but have some nutso stuff in them.

Are there any QoL mods that improve inventory management? I'd like some way of selling/moving a bunch of stuff at once, like when I have a bunch of weapons in cargo and want to unload them. Or am I missing some obvious way to do this? Otherwise goddamn I love this game, such satisfying combat.

This does have problems on some installs. Apparently UI scaling screws it up badly because it’s pretty much an AutoHotKey script, so if you’re on a 4K monitor it may not work for you - it certainly has never worked on mine.

Still going through the newbie mistakes. Had my first colony, on a nice earth-like planet not far from the inner systems. Overextended myself and did not have enough resources for proper colony development, then took crummy jobs to finance all the stuff and ended up broke at the corner of the sector, with the return trip costing me most of my fleet. Time for a new campaign. Gotta respect the vast distances and hazards of space more, this time. This game is great. Hammerstein fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Apr 30, 2021 |
