What about Royalty DLC Renegade outpost?

Hey, just explored the asteroid it was a blast. 2 minor issues:

1) The fleshmass nucleus contained in one of the rooms was a bit bugged - encountering it didn't unlock the entry, and I couldn't access the containment options. After transferring it to a different platform and back again everything worked as normal. I suppose this is a pretty bona-fide encounter, as I don't think vanilla has any naturally-spawning "pre-contained entities".

2) Off in the corner I found the corrupted obelisk and, after killing its guardians, went to study it (with an occultist lvl20 intellectual pawn, if that's relevant). Instantly, I got all three of the "events" and was able to duplicate a colonist and/or deactivate the monolith . Maybe my pawn is just that cracked but according to the wiki I would think it should take longer.

These issues didn't impact my enjoyment, thank you for making this mod.

a huge city-like orbital platform full of starjacks would be awesome

I wanted to make a base like this for my guys but maybe taking over one would be better lol... thank you!

I love this - missed opportunity by Ludeon to not do something like this with Odyssey. Great mod, can't wait to try!

Idea for another finding a growth vat advancement satellite/Major Gene bank satellite as well.
scarcefalcon Aug 6 @ 3:00am 
Great idea

can you add physical noctoliths so we can turn off the darkness in the asteroids. otherwise this mod is pretty great

Отличный мод, мое уважение автору.

Had a hidden cloning obelisk go off from lack of study. Everyone who wasnt wearing a vac suit got mobbed by naked clones. Had a bunch of giant anacondamen clone too, so many people got eaten :c

oh man that tumor asteroid idea is gold.
Sumatris Jul 29 @ 12:58pm 
Finally got one of these bad boys and it did not disappoint. Captured myself five metal horrors for study (the first ones I ever took alive, weirdly enough), and killed some more for those sweet, sweet shards. Cool stuff!
Fixins Jul 28 @ 1:00pm 
I'd like to see some cosmic horror lairs, like a flesh mass asteroid, metal horror asteroid, colossal nociosphere you can enter, space monoliths etc

W mods

I really like these themed asteroid mods you're making. The base Odyssey ones are neat and all, but lack depth.
R41N Jul 24 @ 8:32pm 
I'm poking around your mod trying to replicate it to make my own space objects and learn the C# I need to do that, and I noticed the description when you find it in the scanner misspells panicked to paniced. Great mod btw!
ByteGirl Jul 24 @ 9:42am 
Noticing it'll give you Advanced anomalies even if you haven't attuned to the second stage of the Monolith yet. This was extremely helpful for getting a free Fleshmass Nucleus early into my gravship playthrough, but it felt kind of odd. Could you add a toggle for only getting anomalies of your current tier?
Sh2d0wm2n Jul 23 @ 2:14pm 
Absolute cinema (even if I didn't play it yet, the idea itself is amazing). Also, in case what we see is how every asteroid looks like... How about also adding a more "themed" anomaly asteroids? Like a fleshmass infested one, full of fleshbeasts and a dreadmeld/fleshmass heart at its core? A space platform full of hostile cultists worshipping the cube? A "distress signal" space station full of friendly people, all hypnotized by a revenant to find and destroy? So many cool ideas, it would be so fun to see it made.
condottiere Jul 23 @ 12:15pm 
YT creator Mr Samuel Streamer mentioned a neat space horror idea: an abandoned space station haunted by revenants. Or sight stealers standing in for Ridley Scott's xenomorph aliens. Station was conducting research into Things Man Was Not Meant to Know, etc. Regular space station loot spawns other than maybe one small centerpiece bit of Anomaly research material or item.

Edit: This is basically same as Sahksampo's idea below. +1 to their comment!
Crazy Dog Jul 23 @ 11:57am 
Dead space will come. Find the Marker. Bring it home.
Mirko Jul 23 @ 10:51am 
Good we need more anomaly content.
Voltaire Jul 23 @ 7:03am 
Should be vanilla, thank you!
愉悦哥 Jul 23 @ 4:00am 
Could you add a "toggle" in the Mod settings panel that allows users to enable or disable the "dark" effect? QAQ
Silex Jul 23 @ 3:59am 
Sähksampo -- Love that idea!
thetakyuu Jul 23 @ 2:19am 
Big Deadspace vibes.
Sähksampo Jul 22 @ 9:51pm 
A nice idea would be "an abandoned" space station or a ship that has been taken over by the anomaly. Like a space ship that was used to contain one but it broke free and took over. Kind of like in dead space.
norrag89 Jul 22 @ 4:40pm 
Anomaly space station next? Maybe a Spaceship graveyard
Sentinel Jul 22 @ 2:56pm 
Absolute anomaly.
theDehumanized Jul 22 @ 2:12pm 
Any chance to activate this in ongoing save?
PoieczeQ Jul 22 @ 1:09pm 
custom asteroids? fucking sick man
Delta Prime Jul 22 @ 9:38am 
For those asking for dead space mods I think a few Armor/plasma cutter mods exist. Still sounds and looks great for exploration. Can't wait to give this one a go. :stress:
Swimmy Jul 22 @ 8:22am 
Omg please someone make a deadspace mod for odyssey, also for the modauthor this is really cool.
Rime_Low Jul 22 @ 5:44am 
Is that a Dead Space reference?
theDehumanized Jul 22 @ 3:17am 
Do we need to open 'ambient' setting for the Anomaly or 'monolith' setting works too...?
Rabblerouser Jul 22 @ 2:59am 
I was hoping someone was going to make a mod about eldritch beings IN SPACE! <3 It's such fertile ground for a spooky time!
Tirith Amar Jul 22 @ 2:26am 
Another idea is a massive Archean asteroid, full high fertility soil everywhere, massive archean trees that are capable of producing enough oxygen, to counteract the vacuum and heat it significantly (like 13-27°C). No other resources though. If you enter with a ship you destroy the site, even if grav anchors are present.
Quilava Jul 21 @ 10:23pm 
I wonder if Anomaly can survive in vacuum space or not?
TurtleShroom Jul 21 @ 8:01pm 
@OHNO

Holy BASED, someone read the lore primer.
GetUrAssToMars Jul 21 @ 9:08am 
oh hell yes. Love cross mod content like this!
IdleKnife Jul 20 @ 7:45pm 
would be cool to have a sort of "pirate hideout/bay" asteroid site, would be a caved out asteroid with smaller makeshift/low quality gravships parked in it in a hangar and long winding corridors and various facilities, would probably be a more endgame site to raid since i imagine raiders with gravships (despite being smaller and more used gravships) would be heavily armed
free kill Jul 20 @ 12:24pm 
heres some I came up with for new sites

- trader ship who's mechinoid personal have gone haywire and are attacking any lifeforms onboard.

- cargo cult tribal raiders who found a mostly intact ship and are going around raiding with their "metal sky god."

- abandoned asteroid mining base left to rot after the life support system broke down. only leaving mine ore, barley functional defenses and bodies of those too unfortunate to escape.

- old space pirate berried treasure deep in a Asteroid, could have an ambush with another group looking to steal it for themselves.
Tirith Amar Jul 20 @ 12:07pm 
Any chance we could get tree overtaken asteroids?

Like an anima theme asteroid, with a massive psychic drone, ready to kill any sensitive colony.

Empire orbital stations, massive loot but all cataphract or similar.

A massive hostile gauraleen tree, Lots and lots of gauraleen.

A harbinger tree that has slow tendrils reaching for the ship that try to break in like the fleshmass does, the ship has 0% chance for accident, 0 cooldown, you run in steal amazing loot, and get out before your ship gets disabled.
Donward Jul 20 @ 11:34am 
sabotage the pleasure yacht: could be a quest lline, like you need to destroy some shild generator plattforms first to be able to land on the yacht. The aim could be to save a kidnaped colonist.
cucker Jul 19 @ 10:51pm 
I think imperial pleasure yacht is a great one, this guy below me is cooking. Give me a orbital platform full of nobles and highmates so I can sabotage it for the deserters
oh no Jul 19 @ 3:50pm 
Imperial Pleasure Yacht: A modest orbital platform designed house and entertain a small number of Imperial Nobles and their courtesans. Equipped with botanical and chemical facilities, stocked with gourmet meals and recreational substances. And quite possibly under attack by insane asteroid-dwelling raiders.
pug Jul 19 @ 3:36pm 
This is so cool!
C A T T O Jul 19 @ 2:06pm 
Maybe a imperial or a "Royal" space station with lots of troopers like cataphracts and royalty like count or dukes in there but also lots of Royalty gear and items.
RoboGerbil Jul 19 @ 2:04pm 
ah, now all i need is a good dead space crossover mod
Darian Stephens Jul 19 @ 10:44am 
Wow, I kinda love the idea of setting up an orbital research base around a monolith discovered deep inside an asteroid.
