How do I cope with the fact I’ve become more of a HopeTech enthusiast after being a Deimos fanboy for the longest time?

What are the best ship parts and POI mods?

>>568465279
None they will all bloat your load order and destroy stability and your saves

>>568465383
I thought Bethesda wanted me to buy creations

>>568466195
Just stay away from mods that add ship parts and outpost parts and you will be fine.

>>568466329
... So what does that leave? Fuckin skins?

>>568466329
Oh and as for POI mods, the 2 best ones are Forgotten Frontiers 1 & 2 from MadMonkey119
Two other quality POI mods that I like, from a different modder (caracal5), are Lost Light and Old Secrets

>>568466482
Quest mods like Watchtower which is a huge expansion-like mod
AlmightySE also has some good quest creations
Or quest mods made by TheMilkArtist too

>>568466482
I replied too fast, only ship parts and outpost parts mods will bloat your shit
POI mods are fine and pretty lightweight compared to those bloated ship and outposts messes

You don't actually have to completely forgo downloading those kinds of mods, but you definitely should limit your selection.

Not all of them
-Forgotten Frontiers has 60,000+ records
-Forgotten Frontiers 2 has 50,000+.
-Hopetech Hydroponic Habs has 40,000+ records
-Watchtower has nearly 400,000 records
-Tatooine worldspace has 7000+ (because it's a desert planet)
-Endor has 30,000+

It's not the POIs you have to worry about, it's all the custom assets and clutter that's thrown into them, as well as persistent references.

>>568472590
>500
Not him but unless you're only using lightweight mods, you could be running into issues a lot sooner than that depending on how many records are present in these mods. I'm sitting at 267 plugins right now and had to remove at least 20 mods because of the soft limit that can lead to certain locations (mostly Neon) or my ship crapping out on me. Starfield also has a second problem with how it handles BA2 archives as it has a 255 hard limit before you start crashing at the title screen, prompting you to remove or extract some of them. Then you have to worry about save bloat just from exploring and generating new locations on planets.

>>568479367
There are people who have the game shit itself sub-150 using only stuff from the club too even when controlling for updates and load orders
The game just isn't built well for what they were aiming for, and I'm nervous about TESVI as a result

>>568480207
I doubt you'd have to worry about TES6 unless it's also heavily procgen oriented. It's probably going to end up being 2 or 3 times the size of Skyrim instead of virtually having no limits or where you can explore unlike Starfield

>>568494248
There is no definitive amount of hours estimated to start having issues from save bloat, it just naturally occurs from generating new locations in Starfield and having tons of shit stored in places. You can probably expect to notice some performance degradation when your long running saves inflate to about 60-70mb, but it probably won't experience really bad bugs until they go somewhere over 100mb

>>568495949
>This wasn't a problem with fallout or Skyrim
Incorrect, these issues encompass all games using the gamebryo engine, and it's even worse in Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of Papyrus. It's just exacerbated in Starfield because a ton of more shit went into it.

>>568496971

>This wasn't a problem with fallout or Skyrim
It actually is a problem with the other games but usually by the time I personally got far enough into a save where it would start being to bloated I already explored all areas in the games, exhausted side content, and got tired of radiant quests that I just ended up starting a new playthrough. I've always tried to keep playthroughs with under 150 mods at most since Oblivion, some of you use like way too many mods the shitty game engine can't handle that much unfortunately which is a shame because Bethesda games got some of the biggest modding communities out there only rivalled by some other games.

>>568497775
You mean the Pointer Handles Limit (aka Reference Handle Limit), and this is also present in Fallout 4, as well as Skyrim to a lesser extent. Both Fallout 4 and Starfield keep it capped at around 2 million, while it's around 1 million in Skyrim

>I have discouraging "news" -- I know nothing about bethesda's real plans, but I can explain some stuff about this limitation, and what I know about it doesn't give me optimism that it'll be patched out any time soon.
>The limitation is from the pointer handles being stored in a 21-bit index, that's packed into a 32-bit bitfield. Other people have discovered and documented that it's basically:

>-1 bit for active/valid

>This choice has a lot going for it, and was probably the right one when it was made in like 2001 for Morrowind I'm guessing.

>The problem is that the 32 bit is assuredly baked super deep into the engine, and touches everything. EVERYTHING. All the data structures, serialization, save files, every internal API. It would touch virtually every aspect of the engine including whatever sections of code are like a haunted house that no one touches anymore because no one understands how it works. All the little optimizations that secretly depend on it being 32 bits would break. Every mod would need to be updated, every save file would be invalid. Just the migration path for all that would be a beast of a huge project.

LOL RIP

>>568501560
A standard Unity jump is likely out of the question, but there are ways to work around having to start the entire game over cold turkey at least. Bethesda would simply need to prepare a built in transfer tool to migrate player state data towards a new game. Those who have yet to become a Starborn will just be sent back to the very beginning of the game, while those who did become Starborn starts off in their Starborn Guardian as usual.

At least you can mostly reset all of this by jumping into the next NG+ cycle
Not the most optimal solution of course but there is a way out

>>568503261
>>568503414
>just lose everything that happened in the game
>meanwhile the whole selling point of Bethesda games was the persistent world
That's just restarting the game with extra steps anon. We used to do that with their old games, it was called making a new character. As a bonus you could try out a new build and traits as well.

desu old elder scrolls like Oblivion had a similar non-technical problem that would require you to restart, which is that leveled enemies would become bloated with HP and un-fun. But I think restarting is more interesting than continuing with the same character. If they hadn't designed around NG+ the skills/research grind would also be tighter

So what you're saying is, creation engine is shit.
As I have said.

>>568522351
The bigger takeaway is that the problem isn't going to be fixed for Starfield, so it will forever be a broken mess that self destructs your save file if you use any mods more complex than simple tweaks of existing gameplay functions.

You don't need more than 30 mods maximum

>>568533058
whats that going to be? the dlc that came out was super underwhelming. It doesn't hold a candle to like dawnguard or far harbor from their past games

>>568533408
I did like Far Harbor if the base game was more like Far Harbor I might have enjoyed FO4 more than I did, I do agree both Shattered Space and Terran Armada were underwhelming compared to DLCs from the last 2 games.

>>568533240
Bethesda isn't the 100 person team it was back when they made Skyrim. They have over 600 people. Having small 40-50 people teams on stuff like Fallout 76, or Starfield, doesn't meaningfully take away from development on TES6.

>>568533408
>whats that going to be?
It is generally assumed the DLC will be focused on the Starborn, and the artifacts, temples, Unity builders. Starborn got trademarked as a DLC some time ago, and in one of the trailers for the Free Lanes update/Terran Armada DLC they got Keith David(Captain Anderson from Mass Effect) to talk about it. Most people think he will play Sebastien Banks, the founder of Constellation, and the guy who found the first artifact that led Barrett to starting his search for the artifacts.

Beyond that there's a lot of people who think Bethesda could also do a Outpost/Colony DLC. Since that would be the last major aspect/faction of the game that needs expansion on now that we got the Tracker's Alliance bounties, House Va'Ruun, a Colony War follow up, and presumably a Starborn DLC.
>the dlc that came out was super underwhelming. It doesn't hold a candle to like dawnguard or far harbor from their past games
I'd legit rather play Shattered Space over Nuka World, or Dawnguard. Terran Armada is a far better DLC than something like Automatron.

>>568533850
yeah automatron is mid but people don't really consider that the major fallout 4 dlcs. It's nuka world and far harbor, like Skyrim's is dawnguard and dragonborn

>>568533970
I did like the robot building feature Automatron brought to the table though that I wish Starfield had by default, there is a robotics skill in this game but it is practically useless in most cases unless you are fighting robots and some rare skill choices.

>>568533970
Terran Armada isn't a major DLC either, its a smaller $10 DLC like autonatron was. Starfields Far Harbor and Nuka World would be shattered Space and Starborn(or w/e they end up calling it)

>>568532975
Yes, they stated that another update is coming next month

>>568534268
I assumed terran armada was only 10 bucks because starfield is so unpopular

>>568534593
>because starfield is so unpopular
It really isn't though.
-It was Bethesda's biggest launch ever.
-It was the top selling game the month it came out.
-It was a top 10 selling game of 2023.
-It was the third most profitable game on Steam in 2023.
-Drove the single biggest increase in Gamepass subs ever, up to that point.
-Had more play time, and a higher completion rate, then BG3 did by the end of 2023, despite BG3 coming out a month earlier.
-Was the only single player game to make it into the top most played games of 2023.
-Stayed on Xbox's most played games list for over a year, not only above Bethesda's other games, but also competitors like CP2077, and BG3.
-By the end of 2023 had reach over 12 million player, by the end of 2024 it has over 15 million players.
-Based on total sales/gamepass numbers has around 20K+ playing it on PC alone to this day, putting it in the same realm as Fallout 4.
-Still in gamepass's 10 most played games even in 2026.
-Made it to the top pre-order spot on the PlayStation before its release.
-Was one of the best selling games in the timespan it came out on playstation.

>>568534736
are you not counting bg3 as a single player game because you can do co op? Because it really is still a single player RPG at its core
The PlayStation numbers are misleading because there was like no competition. analysts said it only sold like 140k first week which isn't as good as they'd hope

>>568534736
Compared to trending sales from Skyrim it did worse after initial release, and it failed to retain the same modding communities FNV, Skyrim, and FO4 have. I remember for several years Skyrim was still making big numbers with active players but Starfield pretty much fell out of most people's radar after a while. Most people I know were playing BG3 way more than Starfield in 2023.

>>568535193
Yeah co-op is just an added bonus, it isn't solely a co-op game you can benefit from just playing it single player.

>>568535193
>are you not counting bg3 as a single player game because you can do co op?
No. BG3 was counted in that playtime for 2023 examination. People just put more time into Saarfield than BG3. Also games weren't exlcuded based on single/multi/coop. It was just a list of the top 10 most played games of the year, and Starfield was the only single player only game to make the cut. Everything else was shit like Roblox, or Fortnite.

what's the source of starfield being the only single player game in top 10 most played?

>>568535651
Starfield would've never had the same modding community as Fallout or TES.
-Its a new IP(thus no established fanabse)
-Bethesda fans don't necessarily like the other games Bethesda makes(Many TES fans give zero shits about Fallout, vice versa with Fallout fans and TES)
-Starfield is a space scifi game, which have always been less popular than fantasy or more exaggurated scifi like Fallout
-Even among space scifi games, Starfield is a space simulator, a relatively niche title, compared to the far more popular space opera genre like Star Wars or Mass Effect.
Its a fairly niche kind of title. And it still maanged to be in like the top 10 most modded games on Nexus. Even ignoring that Starfield modding scene is far more shifted to the Creations platform since it launched alongside Starfield modding.

>>568536280
>Its a new IP(thus no established fanabse)
Well it hasn't even managed to make a decent fanbase, when all we got of note as figures in the "fandom" like Crimson Flyboy and the other guy I forget his name it is very bleak. There are several indie games with bigger fanbases than this.

>>568536521

>>568536254
>I find that hard to believe because if you look at steam player charts, bg3 numbers is about 6x the concurrent players daily
You forget that Starfield is a Gamepass game first and foremost, with an estimated like 70-80% of Starfield players being on Gamepass.
>what's the source of starfield being the only single player game in top 10 most played?
IIRC, it was Newzoo's yearly report for 2023 on the most played games. It was reported by a number of sites in early 2024

>>568536731
I mean there might be something to that, there are things I like about this game I can't find in other space games and I'm over 30 but I don't think this game is very popular by any real measure. I wouldn't call it a failure least on initial sales but it didn't have the impact previous Bethesda titles did.

his argument is all the extra players are on gamepass but I don't believe it.
Xbox is a dying platform as shown by Xbox series S/X declining sales, and there's no way they there's so many people on gamepass that can compete with steam

no, there are tons of gameplay alteration mods that are lightweight. like that new spaceships+ mod that overhauls ship damage. it adds spacewalking to fix your ship, potential heatleech infestations, hull breechs that vent the atmosphere in your ship and make it zero G, etc. all of that with i think only 14 base game records impacted. it is only certain mods that really bloat your game off the hop

PC gamers are the smallest whenever we get leaks about how each game is doing on each platform.

>>568568226
not true, you picked one game, GTA online, which has always dedicated to consoles first
PC has a bigger playerbase than all of consoles combined because it's just far more accessible. you don't need a beast of a PC to play bg3.

>>568568856
PC having the biggest gaming playerbase might not mean all that much if many people on this platform have different consumption habits, or can't run every game due to playing on low end hardware. Don't let the big numbers skew reality.

The fact that Bethesda haven't released proper player numbers shows they don't want us to know for sure how badly the game is doing. Steam player count is all you really need and it's abysmal.

Thanks, it didn't go through any changes since 2024. I intended it to be a sleeker version of the Frontier.

>>568523592
Raising the pointer handle limit isn't likely going to be something that Bethesda will do with this game for a few years down the road, but in the mean time they can try to mitigate the engine instability by fixing some memory leak issues. The issue with assets disappearing can be caused by save bloat that comes about from the game failing to purge persistent references from inactive cells. Mods that include a ton of persistent references can also largely contribute to this problem.

Can the pointy handler crumpet be mitigated by patching something over top? Like, putting in a process similar to the save game cleaner but for this problem? Something that routinely clears out a bunch of data?

Looks like I can confirm that the pointer handle bug might be an inevitable save bloat problem on long running saves, and not just with installing a ton of mods. Now the NG+ is starting to make more sense, Bethesda probably knew this was an issue from the start.

>>568538150
My theory is that the Artifacts and their Temples are surviving remnants of the previous universe, and the “creators” no longer exist. All these fancy toys that all the Starborn play with and kill each other over can magically adapt to the exact needs of their user. The Starborn will be reborn with a suit and be inside of a spaceship, to enable survival in the vacuum of space, and said spaceship already comes with grav jump capabilities.

Like… imagine if the Babylonians conquered the entire globe, then the Earth blew to smithereens, and it reformed again into a planet and now cavemen suddenly skipped a millennia in civilization development, and some of them are fighting each other in secret with ballistic missiles and orbital lasers.

>>568627209
you put more thought into it than bethesda

I'm surprised only two romanceable companions have been added as mods
I would have thought people would try to milk that aspect through creation club, but I guess not

after surviving the shipwreck, escaping the hydro plant and constructing a distress beacon to call a rescue ship, i was dropped off on cydonia and got a job in the mines. the ship tech has a cheap junker that he only wants 70k credits for, and i am only 10k away from that number. it lacks grav drive capabilities but it will allow me to take jobs off-world so i can start building some real capital. i will need a boat with some real legs if i am to escape the sol system

I object to the shipping containers facing inwards, which would make loading/unloading difficult.

But then the game doesn't really simulate that or bulk freight so, eh... One of the things I like about Star Citizen is that cargo is a physical object, given how fascinated Bethesda is with it's object physics and sandwiches, it's weird that crates of cargo or even full shipping containers attaching to the sides of the ship didn't become a feature.

>>568676006
i don't understand why we can't put the containers facing downwards. thinking about how they are unloaded.

>>568662626
a grav drive, any grav drive. i want it to feel genuinely rewarding and liberating to finally get a ship with a working grav drive, and i'm only a few mining shifts away
>>568662943
i've actually whittled it down to the point where the biggest mods i have are four creation POI additions (forgotten frontiers 1 & 2, lost light and old secrets). no ship parts, no watchtower etc, it's mostly just those four + survival/realism mods.

>>568676006
there is a mod that makes your cargo bays realistically fill with crap as your ship inventory fills up

>>568676245
I wish we had better rotatable parts, so I could put sharkfins on my ship.

Bethesda should introduce killmoves into this game, then make the Vulcan Neck Pinch a sneak attack

Cargo habs should increase cargo space to justify installing them

An upgrade to an Amp farm. To make an O2 shot, you need to combine Amp with Snake Oil and metabolic agent. If you already have an amp farm, it’s already convenient because you already have metabolic agent for the Amp, Snake Oil, AND O2 shot, so all that’s left is securing a source of sedatives and chlorine to craft Snake Oil.

You have two choices:

>Freya III
the only planet with a domesticable plant that produces sedatives. You will need an auxiliary outpost to supply it with Helium-3, which will then send the sedative material and chlorine to your amp farm location, such as Jemison or Syrma VII-A.
>Schrodinger III
If you prefer, you can save space and only set up two planets rather than three. This planet has a domesticable fauna that can produce sedative, but it needs to be supplied with fiber, which you cannot domesticate on the planet. I have chosen Feynman IV as my fiber + chlorine farming planet, it also has Helium-3 to fuel your intersystem cargo links. You can also set up on Porrima III, but that planet requires planetary habitation rank 3 to even allow you to set up an outpost there.

Hello again anons of /stag/, after 100 hours of playing game this week. I came to the conclusion it's Bethesda best game, it mogs skyrim and fallout 4 in terms of writing and gameplay department. Game is woke but it's very comical in terms of execution of said wokeness, it's non-issue. Game is 7/10 for original Bethesda title even though I refunded back in 2023 after 3 hours. /v/ once again is wrong and over hypes failure. The game does have number of glaring problems but its not the end of the world.

Yeah, they just did a few things for the ESG score in 2023 when it was more relevant and didn't bother going too far with any of it. It is hardly the wokest game of the past 6 years at least.

Some steps to take that might help with stability issues and stuff disappearing in Starfield
1. Make full saves from time to time and load them after relaunching. Quick, Auto, and Exit Saves do not clear out scripts properly, and continuing to load from them can lead to oddities.
2. Limit the amount of ship parts and outpost mods you're using. Too many persistent references is one of the direct causes of this problem
3. Limit the amount of city mods you're using. Cities do not clean up or recycle persistent references over time, so too many assets in these locations can actually affect you everywhere
4. Clean up any clutter dropped in city cells for the same reason as step 3
5. Discard of any junk or an overabundance of items you have no need of that you have stored in places. This will help to reduce the impact on save bloating
6. Go to Venus and rest there for 24 hours, then make a full save and relaunch the game. This will help to reset temporary cells faster

>>568772235
is venus the designated "reset shit" planet?

>>568773120
Yes because 24 hours on Venus equates to hundreds of days on Earth

>>568773269
How long do you have to wait on Venus to reset things? I assume not the whole 24 local hours.

>>568774156
I think it's actually somewhere between 4-6 hours, but people usually wait either 24 or 72 hours

Behead Todd for Infinity LTD mission

>>568773269
honestly, what made them decide to implement time this way? it's so retarded it boggles the mind. why would it be easier to sleep for weeks because the planet you're on rotates slower? it makes survival mods incredibly dumb too.

I wonder if it broke all their radiant stuff too because the only place with that kind of npc scheduling is Cydonia, which has "normal" hours. I don't think anyone was willing to spend their meager brain power thinking about how human schedules would work on a long-day planet. except for a few stores saying "open 47 hours"
