Mods Recommendations [decided]
Greetings!
I would like to try to somehow improve/diversify the game, but at the same time I don’t want to break the game in any way and introduce too simplifying elements. Of course, I devoted some time to familiarization with the materials in the workshop, but the variety is too large, and to check each individual mod is too much time.
I believe that among the players there are much more experienced MechWarriors who can recommend something for this case. If you have any mods to recommend, I'd love to hear about them and your thoughts on why you're recommending them. Just please use links, because sometimes different mods can use similar names.
Thank you and happy gaming everyone. :8bitheart:

It really all depends what you like/dislike about the game. I use a few QoL HUD mods and a few immersion improvements like breaking cockpit glass or Sounds of Succession War.

There are overhauls, like YAML or Mertech. I am sorta divided on these - they are great to increase your mech building options and add complexity, but you may not exactly want that.

Alot of this complexity is sorta just busy work without making it too much fun - Pilot Overhaul mod is a good example of it, I like all the work put in it but in all honesty it did not add enough to my game to make it fun.

Easy way to research mods is also look at the workshop, first couple pages contain almost mods people generally use. A few other are on nexus only, where you could also look up top endorsed.

In fact, it is precisely these types of answers that are useful, because you do not just answer with a dry list, but also make it clear why you use the items listed in it.)

Merctech is not up to date with the current version of the game and won't be a for a while.

In any case, I will be glad to any recommendations.)

Fair, I was just giving a range. YAML is a way to go these days IF you want all of this complexity

Sounds mod makes all the explosion, movements and everything in the game sound...cooler? I found it to be pretty good for extra immersion.

Cockpit glass Break mod makes cockpit get visible cracks when you are getting hit in the head. It could me annoying because it may be in a way of.your.aim, but I found it kinda cool, feel likes you are in an actual firefight.

Yup and I think there is cockpit glass break mod which is sort of an addition to cause cracks

I think I found what you are talking about.

At least, this is at least something of what this topic could help me find. Thx)

I recommend looking at front 2-3 pages of workshop and nexus, best mods usually are in front row. You can decide what else you'd like modded.

I've heard of this site, but I usually confine myself to the Steam Workshop. I think it makes sense to take some time to get to know this site.

yeah Steam workshop is easier to manage. I only use one mod from nexus because I believe its not on steam - Coyota mission pack, which adds more types of missions.

Will have to remember. Thanks for the tip.)

YAML. Also, be sure to set the damage for the Tanks/VTOL/Turrets to 1.0 because that mod turns up the difficulty on tanks to being harder than mechs for some reason and will make you rage quit. Setting them back to 1.0 makes them the worthless bugs they should be in the world of big stompy mechs. Swat them aside and smile. Have a nice day.

I have seen quite a few mods with this name, but as far as I understand, they are all responsible for different things. Or I misunderstood something.
One of which was recommended to me was this one:

Are you talking about him(it)?
