Unfinished Business...and any other mods?

[Second Batch]

I'm using the Unfinished Business mod and tailored the settings to my liking. Are there any other "must have" mods...aside from dungeons...I mean like rules/gameplay mods?

Also, did Solasta mods leave Nexus in protest like a lot of the Battletech mods did? If so, where are they now?

UB is the only true mod for Solasta I am aware of. (Though admittedly, I havent looked in the past 6 or so months)

As far as I know, it's more like the few modders group up. I didn't play the game back then, but it seems in the past the situation was a bit like in any steam games, a few small independant mods. Then they starting grouping up and there was the community expansion mod 1 & 2, latest iteration being Unfinished Business.

Hmm I don't really think there was any big drama where modders left en masse, it's more like there isn't a lot of modders to begin with. From what I picked up on discord, more things would be possible in terms of mods but no one has the expertise required (or understandably takes too much time/effort). The game was a small scale project, a small single player rpg one shot of sorts, but it grew up with multiplayer and dungeon maker especially. Still, it wasn't especially made with mods in mind, so some parts are likely tricky to change. I believe the idea of grouping up also comes from that, to make it easier for a newcomer to mod a new subclass for instance without having to redo the groundwork. I also expect some passionate people to want to spend time on making or playing campaigns over mods.


Also a bit unrelated but should also be noted that it's likely the mod will break with the upcoming next DLC. As far as I know, (some) modders have access to a beta of it, and can do some prep work but still expect a migration phase to be needed.

There is a HUGE community of modders out there. And they can and do mod the Unity engine. But a game has to be designed from the ground up, with that in mind, in order to accommodate it. (Witness the Elder Scroll series, the independently done port of Daggerfall to Daggerfall Unity, and the plethora of mods available FOR DFU.) Modders are available a plenty. Solasta was not designed to readily accommodate modding from the get go, or they'd BE modding it. (Think about it...gamers LOVE tweaking their games.)

Most of us who were writing mods for Solasta add that content to UB1. So we never left we just consolidated resources.

Can someone tell me where to report UB bugs?

I’m holding off on playing anymore until the next DLC drops and UB updates (hopefully it updates.) I’m going to have to restart anyway. UB let me get past the level cap and so I won’t be able to use them anymore.

The last UB update notes say what order to do everything in for Palace of Ice.

'Unfinished Business'' mod no longer works, not because of the new Palace of Ice DLC but because it can no longer 'find the Solasta folder' which now seems to have changed it's anme to Slasta_COTM

They have a GitHub repo you can report bugs on?
Probably your best bet there.

Have you tried relinking the mod on your Unity Mod Manager app?(not saying this will fix it. Just asking so if this happens to me I know what I can skip testing)

It works for thousands of other people, including myself.

You may have to re-define what folder to look at. As of now, it works for me, but when I installed it, it was already the funny named folder.

Honestly, the Unfinished Business addon I was directed to didn't allow the changing of hair color without remaking the whole character again. That's what I'm trying to avoid. I just want to change hair color. I deleted the addon as it was useless to me.
