Best Mods if there are any ?

[Jayombi]

Just got this game, and wondered if there any mods out there that are a must.

Thanks.

Yeah all of the Mod Lists I find are like from 2013 or 2015, all of them are outdated and can't find them on FAF Mod Vault. Help would be appreciated.

[PhilipJFry]

any specific mod you're trying to find?

[CarolusMagnus]

Sorian AI to add up difficulty when playing singleplayer. Then move on to LOUD AI if you feel like Sorian is easy peasy.

Get those mods that give you more details on units. They're helpful.

I don't like straying from the original, so I can't recommend ones that add units. At most, I have a mod that makes t2 missiles track and another that enables the quantum gate to teeleport units to another quantum gate.

And as the guy above said, go to FAF.

I meant that most of the "Best Mod Lists" when you first look em up are all outdated and there's nothing helpful because FAF doesn't have them.

can you at least name a few?

EDIT: Yes I know it says they are on FAF but when going on the vaults I don't see them, dunno if i'm doing something wrong but can't find them, and most ModDB mods are broken, and incompatible with some mods..

steam page list

• BlackOps is in the FAF vault (current version is V14)
  
• never heard of advanced command unit mod but if you want OP ACUs you can just use TVG
  
• Diamond is a featured game mode in FAF but technically not up to date and redundant since FAF fixes bugs on its own anyway
  
• Supreme Shields is in the vault
  
• Sorian - integrated in FAF you don't even have to get a mod for it
  
• mo storage - in the vault
  
• storage rich - in the vault
  
• TVg - in the vault
  
• total veterancy - in the vault
  
• GAZ UI - integrated in FAF
  
• t3 engineer stations - in the vault
  
• turtle power - in the vault
  
• unit cap x4 - in the vault
  
• MassFabManager - in the vault but blacklisted in FAF due to performance issues -> you can just use the EcoManagerV11 to pause/unpause your massfabs
  
• fastbuild - didn't find it in the vault but there are alternatives for it like "only decreases needed build time"
  
• debughelper - seems completely useless since you can spawn stuff when debugging with cheats enabled anyway

reddit list

• Total Mayhem[forums.faforever.com] - in the forum (uveso even made it work for all game versions! so be sure to thank him
  
• Antares - mod vault

i'll just stop here cause the reddit list actually says already where to find that stuff
to find a mod in the FAF vault you need the FAF client - info about the mod vault is in the wiki[wiki.faforever.com]

Thanks all for coming by,

PhilipJFry - That mod Total Mayhem looks TOPS ! - now thats what I am on about. :)

I've been disappointed with the lacklustre selection of SC : FA mods. I really expected so much more. All I've found is a handful on ModDB - most of which are left unfinished, buggy or even worse just simply no longer downloadable. Why can't ModDB stop listing them if the files are no longer hosted? FA Forever is no better..... the list of mods seems reasonable at first, until you realise that most of them are the same mod, just different version numbers thereof! The only one I tried so far from FAF simply would not work. Those few that do work offer little in the way of new units / features etc. There is nothing like the huge selection of "complete conversions", 100's of mods and 1000's of new units/maps that Total Annihilation had!
Furthermore the mythical (did one ever even exist) scenario editor for SC : FA seems to have vanished from the face of the earth.
Even Total Annihilation : Kingdoms had a wider choice of mods that SC : FA!

All of the good mods are hidden away, or people just don't care to update it. I mean, after Gas Powered Games Forum was closed, all the mods went with it, sucks.

[PhilipJFry]

you guys sound incredibly ungrateful to be honest
if you name me a mod i can probably find it for you and tell you if it works for steam or not but just sitting here and crying that nobody makes a mod for you that fulfills your expectation is just disgusting
those are just some mods that i can list without even looking for
Nomads -> and entire new Faction
Blackops -> new units/ACU upgrades etc etc
BrewLan
TotalMayhem
Future Battlefield Pack
Xtreme Wars
Orbital Wars
Experimental Wars

I just said that most of the good mods were wiped away along with Gas Powered Games Forum. Wasn't ungrateful man.

[PhilipJFry]

Never said those mods got wiped.

Less argue - more mod suggestions XD

Personally it's the small clever mechanics mods that interest me. Things like UnitCapx4, Projectile Reflections, Terrain Deform, Corpse Decay, Cliff Hangar, Real Motion, Scalable Overcharge, Metal World, all available in FAF Mod Vault. Actually, I'm not sure if they're still there, it's been a while since I've played.

I will take this opportunity to suggest the FAForever custom missions ;) Not exactly mods, but well worth the play time.
