mods arent solutions

(so stop acting like telling people to get mods is helpful in any way its not)old title i made this after multiple people told me to stop whining about my game not starting and "just get mods" i think mods are great and useful but if someone is having a problem and brings it up to get it on the devs radar the constantly telling them that they shouldn't do that and just get mods will lead to the game being worse in the long run

It's still misleading. Were you possibly home-schooled?

Do you understand what nuance can be perceived when the headline of something reads "X aren't solutions"? The whole box of text lacks any formatting as well.
It can be summarised as:
"When I post about a problem with booting the game I get replies telling me to use mods for the issue and stop complaining. While I think mods are great the solutions I was offered hasn't helped me and I repost my problem to which I'm being told to stop repeating the same issue. (This means the developers will be unaware of my issue and as a result the game will become worse for it.)"

I had to paraphrase the last sentence in brackets because the written framing was difficult to parse.

Your mindset is currently: "If I don't repeat my issue the game will be worse off" and this is false, because if you create a ticket[support.stalker2.com] they will be aware of the issue as it is added to a spreadsheet in their database.

Instead of berating other users for trying to suggest solutions, which may or may not work, you should instead state: "Okay, so that mod didn't work. Are there any other solutions?" and perform a bit of key word searching on the internet. Maybe someone outside the forums have found a solution.

Edit: Fixed the URL.

I just run the a-life band aid 300 meter spawn mod, fixes them spawning right on top of you every five minutes.

Majority of the mods are putting a single file in a new folder name "~Mods" in a certain folder and it fixes issues right away.

This is why the game has a high score because people use mods to fix issues. It is a blast using mods.

During this time you can wait for the developers to release fixes and what not which they have been doing.

Mods are way to customize, improve or expand the game. Mods are not supposed to be fixing broken game, especially if it is newly released one. It is one thing to release community patches, which are basically mods made by people not affiliated with the game's developer, other thing is to expect people to use patches to play the game for a game released 2 weeks ago.

Why not? "Modders" brick their saves by messing with already unstable and frequently updated game and everyone else gets to laugh at them. And, in addition to this being hilarious, it is also educational so should be encouraged

I've used add-ons since they first started rolling out on NexusMods, I've only seen improvement to the overall playable state with no "issues caused by add-ons."

Jester farmer-level of baiting with this thread.

Edit: They may not be the solution, but rather a solution until much later patching.

Indeed, the OP should. It might improve their mood and not try to find entertainment outside of the game.

It's rare for mods to actually brick your save file.
Most mods people put in are just quality of life that changes some numbers around which will have no impact on stability at all.

For instance, being able to carry more, sell things for a higher price, bigger discount for repairs and so on.
All of those will not brick your save in any way.
