What are some good vanilla survival enhancement mods? I'm not looking for anything that radically alters the game, just stuff that would fit in with the standard survival mode. Right now all I'm using are some basic visual enhancers (shell rain, enhanced blood, pipboy light shadows), and a couple "nice to have" things like survival quick save enabler (mainly because gently caress losing an hour thanks to a crash. I'm fine with it being "hardcore" but even though FO4 is pretty stable I still don't trust it 100%). I also don't really care about stuff like ENB shaders and such because I think the game looks pretty enough already and I like being able to run at a decent framerate.

The only real oddity with the ad-libs is that the lip sync is based on the text as written so they say the extra bits with their mouth closed. It seems like the solution would be to just update the subtitles rather than crib the lines but what do I know.

Falken posted:I think what I would have liked is if the power armor and minigun at Concord were a "taste" of things to come later in the game. Once the deathclaw is killed, the minigun breaks beyond repair, and the power armors fusion core has a malfunction, fusing itself into the connection port and basically rendering that frame useless. The problem with the minigun is that the damage per hit is really low, so even a small amount of armour massively reduces the damage done. Add to that the fact that the accuracy goes to poo poo after firing for about half a second and you've got something that looks good on paper but is terrible in practice. In New Vegas they just made it so that 5mm ammo had a decent amount of armour piercing on it, so it would actually be effective against low/mid DT enemies. The damage/protection formula is weird in Fallout 4 though and I'm not sure adding AP to miniguns would really solve the fundamental issue.

sw0cb posted:FO4edit loads and exits immediately when I try this. Anyone have an idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Google is not being helpful. I can't really solve your problem since I don't know a lot about MO but I do know that it uses a weird folder structure to store more rather than putting them all in Data like NMM or manual installs. So that's probably why FO4Edit can't find them.

Zore posted:Not well. It rebalanced all the weapons to match its new environment so any standalones are going to stick out like sore thumbs. Do the modders have any sort of consistent algorithm for how they've decided to set the new damage values? Modding stats on a weapon is pretty trivial to do with FO4edit so you could probably roll your own compatibility patch if you knew what damage values would be consistent with Horizon's rebalancing.

Is he working on importing the assets from New Vegas into the FO4 engine or straight up rebuilding the world using the assets from FO4? Either one seems like it'd be a crazy amount of work but the latter is basically remaking the game the same way the New Vegas designers did.

turn off the TV posted:Pretty close, probably, but what I'm describing is more or less the system that Call of Chernobyl uses to determine what's going on in terms of off map combat and faction control. I remember thinking it would be neat in FO4 if factions could actually take over territory so rather than the same old raiders just respawning after you clear a place out, you might have super mutants or ghouls, move in or maybe even friendlies like the BoS or Minutemen. Or it might change hands based on factions that control adjacent areas making a move to grab territory - maybe you could even stumble on a battle in progress and steer the outcome (or just watch them shoot it out then take out the survivors). Hell maybe you could even have settlers from your own territory take over locations - you wouldn't be able to build in them but they'd act as a buffer against invaders, who would have to take over the surrounding territory before making a move on one of your settlements.

Basic Chunnel posted:Does anybody know if the Industrial junk yard from Sim Settlements is literally just the scavenger station from vanilla? I'm wondering if maybe it could be different and thus gotten around the design flaw of scavving doing absolutely nothing for you if you have something like 200 units of any junk material in storage There's another mod that removes that limit (as well as the limits on produced food and water) so they probably just took the same approach.

Are there any mods like the old goon made armoury for New Vegas? Like ones that are big compilations of real-world weapon mods that also balances them so you get consistent levels of damage from similar weapons rather than being all over the map because each individual mod author had their own idea of what weapon balance is?

Yeah, and then Bethesda just went and threw all that out for FO4  I mean yeah they took a bunch of ideas from popular mods but for some reason they ditched a bunch of the cool stuff from New Vegas itself. I liked different ammo types and DT.

turn off the TV posted:It was indeed designed as a power armor weapon. One thing I really wish you could do it store weapons/ammo in power armour itself. So if you were carting around a minigun/fat boy, you could just leave it locked in the armour's hands when you got out, allowing you to stay lightweight on foot while still making use of the big guns.

OwlFancier posted:The obvious extension to that is integrated power armour weaponry, making the fat man part of the armour. Yeah power armour in FO4 is really more like a small mech suit than just a really good piece of equipment, so it would make sense to just go all the way with that. Although I don't know if I'd really want it to go as far as making certain weapons ONLY equippable via power armour. I mean the old fallout games classified strength in the upper range as basically superhuman, so it stands to reason that they'd still be able to use things that a normal person needs power armour to handle.

turn off the TV posted:Something at least kind of like this exists with the checkpoint system, where certain spots are set to spawn NPCs belonging to whichever factions. Expanding on that system would be really interesting. Yeah there's this one spot I noticed and I'm sure most other people have as well because it's right along the main path from Sanctuary into Diamond City, where for some reason it's this tiny little cafe or something that CONSTANTLY respawns with different factions every time. I've seen generic raiders there, I've seen Minutemen defending against a Children of Atom attack, Rust Devils fighting Mechanist robots, etc. It made me think that some kind of dynamic map-wide faction conquest thing would be cool, but the scripting needed to make it all work would probably be a crazy amount of effort.

Raygereio posted:The edited lists are stored in your save. Actually I think the engine handles missing references without crashing - generally if an object is referenced for a mod that is no longer installed the game just ignores it. Although I'm not sure how this would interact with leveled lists - what you may find happening is enemies or containers might be spawning with nothing in their inventory, because the list picked an item to spawn that was removed.

Honestly FO4 works pretty well out of the box such that any mods you get probably ARE going to be changes to core gameplay - all the old standbys from 3/NV like sprinting, grenade hotkeys, etc. are built into the main game now. Even UI mods aren't really necessary for a vanilla game.

TaintedBalance posted:The Rise of the Commonwealth appears to be working fine for me with the compatibility patch. Fair warning, if you start the city plan in Sanctuary for Sim Settlement, it will nuke all of the workstations, including the Power Armor rack (my power armor itself was fine), but this can be kind of annoying to deal with. It will actually do this in every settlement, but only when you first activate the automatic city building for that settlement. So to be safe, if you plan on using it for a settlement, don't build anything there, or if there's stuff already there you'd like to keep, drop it into storage first. After it sets up the initial base layout, you can build anything freely without worrying about it being scrapped.

So are there any real world/modern weapon mods out there that A) Seed themselves into levelled lists (so they'll be used by people other than me) and B) are balanced with/for Horizon? Collections with multiple weapons in them would be extra nice but I don't mind individual installs so long as all I don't have to do anything special to set them up and get them to play nice with each other.

Incoming Chinchilla posted:Has anyone playing with horizon done the quest where you hold up that drug deal with the barman from diamond city? The mayor's son dropped 1200 caps and the crates had a poo poo ton of drugs. It seemed a little odd and I'm wondering if I've broken something. There's a lot more emphasis on weak point hits in Horizon, so with something like the Gutsy it may be that it just has massive damage resistance on most of its body but will drop in a few shots with a hit on the right location (Where actually is the weak point on a Gutsy/Handy? The thruster?) With the quest, I'd imagine that those items aren't spawned from levelled lists but are instead set manually, so Horizon's changes wouldn't have affected them unless they specifically went in and changed those exact containers/NPCs.

khy posted:Also, regarding Survival. When I last played over a year ago, I loved the difficulty of the Survival mode but I hated how it only saved when I slept. Too often I'd run into a bug, or a crash, or other issues and I'd lose a ton of progress. I recall a mod that would autosave when entering/exiting a building AND at timed intervals while playing Survival, but I can't recall what it was named. Anyone know which one I may be thinking of? You're probably thinking of Survival Options. It allows you to tweak a bunch of survival difficulty related options, including enabling autosave on load screens and incremental autosaves. If you're using MCM it will add a menu to that, if not you can get a holotape from a chem crafting station with the same options available. Fences will snap together - I think they always did? Although it depends on the type of fence - they only snap on posts, so a fence like this =|= won't snap on the ends unless the fence piece you're trying to attach has a post on one of ITS ends. The vanilla options are still pretty limited but there are a ton of mods that add new snappable pieces - just search the Nexus for the word "snap".

It doesn't drop it in your inventory automatically for some reason - you have to pick it up from the Overseer's desk in Vault 111, which I imagine Another Life would conflict with in the sense that you may not actually be starting the game there anymore.

Radical 90s Wizard posted:So War Never Changes includes that mod to make ragdolls interact, which seems like it would be cool, but hoooooooooly gently caress does it make Dogmeat annoying Yeah I've been playing with a "solid ragdolls" mod and I have been considering disabling it for the same reason. It would be nice if there was some middle ground where ragdolls would interact with each other (so you'd get a pile of bodies rather than having them all just merge together) but not with active NPCs, but I imagine that's probably just not possible in the physics engine. Dogmeat has always had lovely pathing though, as evidenced by that gif that I thought was in this thread and apparently isn't, where he wanders through a hallway of laser tripwires and sets them all off (thankfully companions can't trigger traps anymore). The problem is because he always tries to get out in front of you, if you turn around it means that his desired position has just shifted a bunch so he runs over as quickly as possible, and then you turn around again, and so on, so he just frantically darts around all over the place unless you're walking in a straight line.

He is a Bad Dog and his pathing is the loving worst, I'd never noticed before.

Regardless of their use (or not) as military weapons, shotguns are incredibly common as civilian weapons, so it makes perfect sense that they'd be all over the place in a post-apoc environment.

Clever Spambot posted:I mean yeah, i just think there are alternatives that both make logical sense and would make for interesting exploration. The thing is they kind of seem to want to have it both ways. The original Fallout games took place long after the bombs fell and were about the new societies building on the old one. This was also where Obsidian went with New Vegas. Bethesda meanwhile want to make games where you're scavenging for supplies from ruined grocery stores and the closet thing you have to new societies are shanty towns built with scrap. It would make a lot more sense to set that kind of game a few years after the bombs fell - the only reason to set it so far in the future is if you want to explore the way new civilizations are developing, which they don't actually seem to want to do. So why insist that it has to be that way?

I may be misremembering my Fallout lore but isn't Jet basically just Jenkem? I mean Jenkem itself is a hoax but the idea already exists in real life, so the fact that someone might have independently come up with the idea of sniffing poop gas in the Fallout universe before Myron isn't the craziest thing in the world. Although the fact that everyone calls it the same thing is a little weird.

Actually, pre-war pipe weapons I can sort of buy being a thing - if the country was under martial law, they probably would have suspended the 2nd amendment. People then might have started crudely putting together their own homemade weapons in response. I mean ultimately it's just one of those "we did this for gameplay reasons" things. Not a lot of how the world works really makes any sense in Fallout 4.

Doorknob Slobber posted:does horizon play nice with things like raider overhaul, AWKC and armor and weapon mods in general or is it the kind of thing you install by itself? Armor and weapon mods depend a lot on the specific mod - armor values I don't think change too much in Horizon so as long as the mod sticks to roughly vanilla numbers it should still work out okay. Weapon mods probably won't fit in well, though, since most weapon damage has been rebalanced to work on the principle of "damage per shot" and generally based on caliber, as opposed to DPS. Raider overhaul I would not think would play nice with Horizon, although Horizon itself does kind of do a lot of the same things (although not to the same level of detail) - it introduces new classes of raiders with unique loadouts. In general Horizon should probably be viewed as a "mostly standalone" mod. There are specific mods that it has compatibility patches for, but otherwise you should generally assume that it's not compatible unless it's a really small/minor change (like say, changing the pipboy light to a cone/flashlight) or is in an area that Horizon doesn't touch (like NAC or other weather/climate mods).

The Skeleton King posted:As much as I want to like horizon, I'm getting tired of the absurd variety or hard to find materials I need for literally everything. How am I supposed to get enough day tripper and other poo poo to make combat stimpaks in any useful quantities? Where the hell do I get Steel Alloy S1/S2 or Aluminum alloy S1/S2? How do I get a cargo bot? Where do all these super specific materials come from? I need them and I am tired of looking for them. For the alloy stuff you will be rolling in it with the fortune finder perk. Legendary enemies will also often drop special junk items that have alloy materials in them. You don't need Day Tripper specifically to make pharmaceuticals, there are like 6 different recipes that require different stuff (some of which require perks but most don't). With stuff like Cargo Bots and Turret Parts and other weird stuff, you need to build a Tech Lab - it's a new crafting station Horizon adds and has recipes for all sorts of weird miscellaneous utility stuff. If you see a requirement that you can't find anywhere in the world, it's probably crafted there. Poison was changed to last longer but deal less damage per second, so the overall damage dealt is the same but it takes longer to wear off naturally (and yeah it is annoying but you don't get poisoned THAT often - just save your antidotes until you clear out all the mole rats/whatever, because the damage won't add up to a lot).

toasterwarrior posted:Doesn't the mod warn you about removing plots and items that are part of the city plan? I don't want to poke at whatever voodoo is keeping that all together, it's unstable enough as it is. You can remove anything you want, but it may break AI pathing or you may end up with weird overlapping elements since the city plan doesn't care about conflicting objects when it places things. Once you hit city level 3 though, the plan is done and won't add any more stuff, so you can remodel more freely at that stage.

It seems to be a little bit unclear what actually causes the cities to upgrade. According to the documentation/video, it has a hard requirement of 100% scrap collected (which is fairly easy to meet), and then it also depends on happiness, with higher level upgrades requiring higher happiness (I think the level 0 -> 1 upgrade still requires a 70% minimum - I'm not sure the exact line), and apparently it also depends on the upgrade levels of the plots themselves. Even with all the requirements met, there's a random, relatively long delay in game time between upgrades (the video says that the 0 -> 1 upgrade can take around 10 game days, and higher level ones are longer), so you can end up sitting quite a while on a settlement level even with 100% scrap and happiness and all the plots at level 3.
