What mods do you guys use?

[Ninjabiscuit90]

Do you guys have some suggestions? All I have is beyondeuropa I think its called, which basically expands on the vanilla stuff.

[Zothen]

For me Into the Abyss is a must-have, because BT became so underwhelmingly easy around a year ago.
Also stuff that adds on top of the vanilla experience is my poison: New Wrecks, ADV Beacons, More Level Content, Stations from beyond, stuff like that.
Dynamic Europa is great too.
Neurotrauma is epic for a larger group, but a big burden in small groups.

I only used Expanded Outposts and Stations from Beyond, or whatever those mods were called. Not sure if they're still up to date or indeed necessary with the game now it's had some content updates since the last time I played though.

I'm interested in stuff like that Abyss mod that adds a whole bunch of new content and much more hardcore experience, I think? Also Real Sonar which seems awesome.

I don't know much else about mods, so this thread should be interesting, would like to see some suggestions too, and hopefully reasons why they're good

I think the outposts are out of date.

Dynamiceuropa is the only mod that I picked up and a couple sub mods. I'm gonna look at the abyss one

I recently combined these two mods, which are just tweaks:

One will mess up your orientation while in water which is terrifying in itself, and the other allows Bone Threshers, Hammerheads, and Broodmothers into the ship if it ever gets filled with water.

This has given me a brand new experience in horror for this game, and concern for not messing up, because recovery is much more difficult. Cave Systems are also absolutely maddening with this and I had two of my crew vomit irl from trying it.

Yes, kinda. Once you have some skill in vanilla BT you quickly notice that ITA is actually the "real deal" hehe. Imo "more meat on the bones" than "more hardcore".

barotraumatic

All very interesting. How viable is it to play in solo? I'll possibly be able to convince my friends to play Barotrauma with me in vanilla for the new campaign and stuff, but I doubt they'll join for another trip using Into the Abyss

But do you think it's something you can handle alone? I'm very interested in that mod, have been for some time, actually.

ITA is still being updated?
Eh whatever I switch to Barotraumatic for quite a while now and if you feel like hurting yourself you can install Europa War too.

Back on topic if you are planing to play solo you better grab whatever mod that let you pick multiple talent tree, a good custom sub and dynamic europa is a very good one too.

ITA cranks up the vanilla gameplay, so thats hammering down on a solo run if you cant cushion the additional impact via multiple players. Doable and tough. Also theres a version without the changes to the fuel system, so bots arent useless in fuel-handling.

Original ITA isnt updated right now, but the revival version seems to work. Mostly.

I use the EK mods, but I have no idea if the creator is still working on them.

I'd advise against Into the Abyss for a while, it's not being maintained very well, and yeah I'm talking about the "revival".
The person who is currently maintaining it has some personal stuff come up and it's quite outdated currently.

Best QoL Mod is [Material IO] mod which Fixes all your Material storage needs, LUA for Barotrauma + Performance fix for well performance.

As for Content mods Currently I suggest:
DynamicEuropa - Big Map with Different types of outpost + Pirates
Combat Overhaul Redux[COR] - Weapon Mod that Makes death faster from Humans and Monsters
NEEDS - Hunger, Thirst, Sleep and Social needs. Chef Job along with the Things to cook.

These are the CORE Mods that I currently uses along with other mods that I haven't listed.
