Pod: a detachable or self-contained unit on an aircraft, spacecraft, vehicle, or vessel, having a particular function

Need a place to relax and just chat? Tired of the usual forum talk? Want to just have a friendly place to swap tales about the game or science fiction in general - and other unrelated things as well? Maybe you want to share some screenshots of your adventures? Or possibly tell a little story about your character. Then welcome to The Coffee Pod, a place to escape and just kick back!

If you're new to Starfield, or just having problems, and not sure where to begin ... Just ask. All are welcome! If you can deal with cramped quarters and a vacuum beyond yonder bulkhead, then you are in the right place.

This is just a place to hang, chat, ask questions, and get abused by forum regulars. Feel free to drop by ... We might not have all the answers, but we probably already know the people that do or who are working on it, and we will be happy to help.

Bashing, spamming, self promoting, advertising, and trolling will simply provide us with target practice and make you look really lame. Please leave politics and religion at the door as well.

Personal attacks against forum guests based on country, race, ethnicity, lifestyle preferences, and planet, system, or galaxy of origin will not be tolerated in any way ... Period, and we will be enforcing the moderators rules around here ... Period.

Keep it clean (mostly); while the game is listed as mature, a lot of the people aren't.
Keep it civil (always); arguing a little is fine, just keep it friendly.

Move over and make space - the airlock is cycling.

It's great that you are posting about Creations mods, Craigsters! I never look there, and otherwise, I would have no clue (and, I think, neither would many others).

It's time for me to see if my internet cooperates long enough for me to watch some tele shows! And with that, I'll say goodnight and hit the road!

That's weird that it is not included in the ship's decorating menu, but is in the base decorating menu for habs (with the weight bench being the other option there). I wonder if it was just overlooked? I imagine it shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows how to add it in as an option.

ND-5 Vasco Replacer (Star Wars) [www.nexusmods.com]

this comment from mod discussion board
Note: He also sits in REV-8 as a human passenger, not in back. sweet.

The problem is that mod was made prior to the CK release and has never been updated using the CK; as such, it should not be used. Using any mod made prior to the release of the CK which has not been updated is playing Russian Roulette with your game - it may work 5 out of 6 times, but that one time it doesn't will kill your game (and, frankly, I think the odds are worse than that when it comes to mods made not using the CK - especially those which modify ships or landscape).

Yup, those will be in my daily review - and I can say right now the Stable rounds mod seems interesting - never did like the idea of the annihilator effect for the mag.

shattered space video link is in this Bethesda Post on X this morning (Shattered Space +++) topic

Starfield Engine Fixes - SFSE [www.nexusmods.com] mod had a update this evening

[Ihateeverybody]

Hate getting 3/4ths through a decorating job and suddenly realizing its just not going to work. Left with to much space for supposedly 1 man ship

Maybe downsize to a 2x2 but I always have to add another Hab then as it messes up the ship Symmetry.

Could be worse - you could get 3/4 of the way through, and know that not only is it going to work, it's the best decorating job you've ever done - and then everything shuts down.

[craigsters]

I was thinking in my next ship build, use Tiger Shipyards Overhaul 3x3x2 hab as a huge garage/meeting room/show case garage overlook of the REV-8 buggy and the captains quarter's , but then I remember I'm awaiting a railing mod, the mod author of Better Buildable Walls and Doors mods said he'll consider adding railing's to his mod and that it fits in!..


you can disable the floors on the second floor of Tiger Shipyards Overhaul 3x3x2 hab, I accidentally done it disabling walls on that floor, you could create a balcony over look looking down at a garage REV-8 buggy trophy show room

you can make the Tiger Shipyards Overhaul 3x3x2 hab a tall room if you don't mind loosing stairs too, not sure they'll if Better Buildable Walls and Doors mods wall's can be built 2 story's stacked ontop of each other they'll

update

I've been using a mod authors work MrTrilB[next.nexusmods.com] that adds every single cargo bay hold container, and crate and yes whole shelves with containers built on them and the mod author even has them in a variety of color choices and even categorised his mods for the ship build mod menu, not the shipyard and the mod author also made a medical counter,'s end tables, lockers, trunks and tables in a variety of colors also categorised





Starizon - Categories and Assets [www.nexusmods.com] this is the categorised dependency mod to give the mod authors mods it's own category in the ship build menu

Starizon - Ships Furniture [www.nexusmods.com] this mod has every cockpit chair in a variety of colors, and foot lockers and lockers and the brig and captains quarters white desk that is h in shape or boomerang

Starizon Science and Medical [www.nexusmods.com] this one has a lot of medical side tables, and long counter like tables and medical equipment in a variety of colors



Starizon - Cargo and Containers [www.nexusmods.com] this one I mentioned at the top of this post already

I highly recommend the mod authors work above it's very very useful in decorating your ship, been using the mods for over a week now


I think the mod authors mod also adds the Magnetic resonance imaging machine MRI machine you cant move in well in it

@Craigster - Since you are really good at creating elevators, perhaps you could change the stairs in the outpost security tower to a lift platform, same with the stairs on the landing pad w/ shipbuilder. I know me and Vlad would download those for sure. Just a suggestion.

I only used Matilija's Aerospace stairs in my ship, I tried Matilija's elevator in my ship briefly and they where to claustrophobic,, the hallway around the elevator hab of his that is, that wrapped around the elevator car/lift box, I use the 3 story and 4 story stairs and place them at the back meddle of the habs with the 3x3x2 habs from Tiger Shipyards Overhaul hab

Not going to be using DP Aerospace - Resurrected mod anymore , it has clipping issue's and it's habs are to big and the mod author tied decor to the hab structure, so I'm going back to using Tiger Shipyards Overhaul hab again instead, along side Matilija's Aerospace awesome stuff!..

I usually place two Tiger Shipyards Overhaul 3x3x2 habs and place a Matilija's Aerospace stairs at the back meddle of the hab near the engine in the Conquerer III once I make the ship big enough to allow it!..

if Matilija makes a elevator hab with a car in it that is not a train aisle width around the car, I'll use the elevator again, maybe a 2x1 or bigger hab for the elevator hab, not going to suggest it to him, he'll most likely ban me for asking!..

Good day, all! Time to whack the replicator and kick the internet! And while the latter is co-operating, let take a look at today's scratch sheet!

Morning Review

Small Akila Player Home by DownfallNemesis - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/11444
Another wonderful home mod by that master builder and architect DownfallNemesis. This is in Akila, and is a simple home for a simple spacefarer - but it is the simpleness of Zen design. This is a home in Akila I can definitely see myself using. :steamthumbs ups:

Close Encounters of the GRiNDTerra Kind by ItsmePaulieB - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/11429
By the author's own admission a bug filled mod that needs testing. So what else is new from this author? Supposedly will spawn humans near human buildings - NPCs of all sorts because, you know, even totally abandoned buildings on a dead planet will have people just wandering around for no reason. The hatch, HAL! Another for the depths of the Darkest Sea. :steamtumbsdown:

Particle Weapon Magazine Mod - Stable Rounds by isLazy - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/11447
This adds a craftable magazine for particle weapons that slightly reduces damage and removes the annihilator effect (an effect for that magazine type whether you use annihilator rounds or not). I always hated that effect being an inherent part of that magazine type, which is why I never select to use it.

Summoning StarPower by Qooestel - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/11449
Another person who got lost on the way from Oblivion to Skyrim and ended up in a non magic universe and wants magic - magic you learn from spell books so you can summon certain NPCs. Requires Expanded Powers Menu mod - but that's only if you decide to use this one in the first place. I'll just summon this mod right into the vacuum. Open the jettison hatch please, HAL.

Legacy's End - More Creds by Starborn38 - (not linked)
DO NOT USE - WRONG FILE FORMAT
Forgetting that 3 months after the intro of the CK, the mod author still doesn't know YOU CAN'T USE .ESP FILES, this still isn't worth bothering with. Doubles the reward for completing Legacy's End for the Crimson Fleet from 250K to a half a million. Because credits are so hard to come by in the game, and yes, pirates are so generous. NOT! Yup, HAL, another one.

SOL - Sensible Outpost Lighting by BosDragon - https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/11452
This certainly lights things up a bit! Fixes the exterior lighting from light posts so that the contrast from light to dark is not an instant transition, but a more natural and realistic fading, as well as reducing the brightness level a bit. Also removes shadows - the author states this is to eliminate "glitchiness" with the shadows that is present in the vanilla game. Well, I haven't really noticed that. Still, this mod might be worth a bit of your time to take a look at.

And that's it for today's mods!

Happy Independence Day for all our friends from Brazil. It was back in 1822 that Brazil declared its independence from Portugal with the declaration of it by Prince Dom Pedro - though a formal treaty recognizing the fact won't come for another three years.

[craigsters]

good morning my fella gamers, may your day be bright and happy and full of good fortunes
