Modding the game.

[TS42119]

I'm just returning to the game. I love the game, it's still just as fun as I remember it. I thought modding it might be fun.

But... I don't think you can add much to this game without making it too easy. Not to mention it's all nexus mods, so it's a bit of a hassle.

Is the base game it's best form?

Yes, with Captain's Edition being the most customizable, although a lot of the changes add game-breaking balance issues.

Multiverse is as good as a sequel. It is not quite as well balanced as the original, but adds a vast amount of new content and ships, without the kitchen sink approach of CE.

That said I seriously recommend it. It's hundreds of hours of new content without even replaying much.

In my opinion the base game is by far its best form. All the major gameplay-changing mods ruin it for me.

However, that comes with the huge caveat that I am not a typical player, and also that what I enjoy about the game might be completely different from what you enjoy about it.

I don't agree that Multiverse is "as good as a sequel", simply because I cannot imagine Subset Games making anything like it. Its design philosophy is almost exactly opposed to theirs.

I think it would be more accurate to describe Multiverse as a fan-mad mod that drastically changes and expands the game. It has a huge amount of content and many players love it.

My preference is for cosmetic and quality-of-life mods, some of which I made or enhanced. Here are the mods I use: https://mikehopley.github.io/Mikes-FTL-mods/

I have never used Nexus Mods for any mods in FTL, I tend to use the official site instead when I want a mod.
