Does anyone know from experience, or have any idea if Some Assembly Required and Horizon will play nice with each other? Does Horizon do anything to power armour? I like the idea behind SAR, but if Horizon makes power armour a lot harder to use already then it doesn't seem worth it.

I tried Horizon + a bunch of mods suggested in the thread last night and wow it is like a different game. I came out of the vault into a blizzard and it was amazing. The audio reworks and added reverb are brilliant as well. I was sneaking through concord and there was a burst of lightning, the thunder made me nearly jump out of my seat. Suddenly I am very wary going everywhere, rushing to get back to Sanctuary at nightfall and spending a lot more time exploring the immediate area. I also went with Some Assembly Required and it made the first quest with Sturges and co very difficult. The starting armour spawns with a very damaged centerpiece and nothing else. I think I got very lucky because I found two pieces of raider power armour just lying around in the room that all the npc's sit in. It was just enough to get me through the fight with the raiders and Deathclaw. I brought the wrecked and powerless armour back to Sanctuary and for now it is just a statue. I know a lot of people said that power armour is a waste in Horizon because of the changes to carrying, but I was looking to it more being what you strap on when exploring a dangerous area for the first time or when you know a big fight is unavoidable, rather than something you wear all the time. I am struggling a little with an immediate goal beyond "Get to level 5 asap for the first VANS perk". How do most people start off in Horizon? I need to get to level 3 asap as well so I can grab survivalist, I think I made a mistake getting hunter first. One thing I haven't gotten working, is the Sim Settlements HUD Framework component with Def_UI, I installed the patch for Def_UI and HUD Framework, but there is also a Def_UI patch with Horizon and I wonder if they are fighting with each other? Has anyone made the two work?

Mr. Crow posted:It's a pretty big milestone early on, what's wrong with that as a goal? Ah fair enough, I thought that hitting level 5 was a lofty goal to put after something else! I like the changes to Sim Settlements. I was worried they would make it very easy to get a bunch of farms up and running but getting the fertiliser and rotten foodstuffs actually made it challenging. (I thought you could make fertiliser at a chem station?) The fallout ambiance tracks are quite spooky when you are crawling through the undergrowth praying not to run into some raiders. I forgot how eerie some of them sound. And the total silence during combat works really well too. I am struggling with defense for my settlements however, I don't have any rifle parts to build turrets and nowhere near enough settlers to run farms and guard posts.. I hope the negative defense thing doesn't bite me in the rear end and mean I get swarmed by a really high level raid.

I found some more raider power armour pieces when clearing out the comms room at the radar base near Sanctuary. Are these placed by Some Assembly Required or by Horizon? I never found pieces of power armour just lying around in the open next to a chest. Is the only way to heal infections taking medicine that you craft? I got infested but I can't craft anything to cure it because I need Medic one, it is a little annoying.

aniviron posted:That's from SAR. Because you don't find frames of whole power armor anywhere now, there are a lot of little handplaced sections, generally in areas where there used to be power armor, but sometimes just in high-risk or out-of-the-way dungeons; the mod page mentions the Museum of Witchcraft, for example. Ah OK, it's a nice thing to find. I think my main goal needs to be getting level 5 for VANS, and then getting a purified water filter up asap. I am assuming I can drink from it by interacting and get no rads even if I am not producing enough to make purified water bottles? The fact that there is only of each piece of X-01 in the Commonwealth is one of the things I really liked about SAR, making it a real quest to get that suit. My only problem is that one of the pieces Is on the Prydwind, in the quartermasters store area, and I really don't want to join the brotherhood... I only know about that piece and the Museum piece so far. Will leave looking for them until Much later!

There is a patch that adds functionality for the automatron and nuka world sets. All the legendary items still exist but are scattered, like the tesla set.

I think I am finally ready to go and hit up the auto plant in Horizon. It is crazy that I have spent more than an in game week scavenging before I am at a point where I think I can do one of the first quests in the game. I think I need to get it done now so I can unlock Preston as a companion, Cogsworth just doesn't do a lot of damage and gets in the way all the time. I am even planning my attack which is something I have never even though about in fallout, up through the sewers so I don't get caught in a big firefight up front or in that first big room. If you are thinking about playing again, Horizon with the True Weather and NAC is amazing. I still jump during thunderstorms sometimes because of how crazy it can sound. My only frustration with it is some of the crafting requirements are ridiculously specific. Antibiotics need Flint Corn, I cannot find this Flint Corn. I can make both medicinal and herbal antibiotics but both recipes require Flint Corn. I have corn, both bought and grown but it isn't the right type! No idea where to find it because it is a modded item. Phrosphor fucked around with this message at 00:46 on May 5, 2017 |

Flubby posted:Yeah, I keep restarting Horizon and I get caught in a bad resources loop that wears me down. I lived with infection and parasites for what felt like forever until I could afford a doctor. Being able to craft things to help you out is hard enough when it comes to finding the scarce and very specific resources, but on top of that you have those gated behind perks, that are gated behind levels. So you just live with it. I have to quit and come back to it sometimes when I lose an hour or so of progress that sends me all the way back to when I woke up that morning. I want to get over this hump, scavenge stuff further out, actually be able to sneak and take out raiders silently with a crossbow. Right now I can't seem to get out of this sickness simulator. It's rough. Yeah I gave up after being infested for 3 days and just booked it to Covenant, slept the night there and then used the doctor in the morning. Cost me about 400 caps to clear my infections + clear up my rads and I made most of the money by selling books and cigs to the store there. I got excited when I saw them growing corn but it was just the boring non flint variety. I really like some of the crafting stuff, like actually using screwdrivers and hammers. But some of it is a little frustrating. I think I am mostly over the resource hump, the first 5 levels are very rough. You really need Hunter 1, Survivalist 1, Medic 1, Gun Nut 1 before you can do anything. Once you can craft ammo you can actually prepare a little better. Oh and water is a bitch. You need purified water for so much crafting and I didn't realise. You should at least be able to use sanitised water because purified water is at least a midgame item. (Can you fill clean bottles with purified water from the filtered pump or is the only way to get it to wait for it to appear in the settlement inventory?) Another big issue at the moment is carry space. You need Robiticist 1 to craft the cargo droids for the wristwatch thing and in order to not die I am wearing full raider armour and a stolen railroad jacket I found that is really heavy but has great protection.

Chronojam posted:Are you guys keeping updated? Horizon updates fairly often. Maybe I'm the one behind, but I have made and found antiseptic pretty reliably. Moving up from bandages to medicated bandages was a huge leap and very accomplishing. I have found tons of Antisceptic and always carry a couple of medicated and unmedicated bandages, it's the antidote recipe for infections that I can't craft. I will check for an update tonight though. the fact that drinking dirty water can give you a disease is really nasty.

I killed a raider in power armour, and after looting the pieces off his corpse he blew up like a fusion car. Is this a horizon thing? It knocked me back about two hours of progress with no warning. I was on the roof of a building in Lexington and after I came out of the loot menu he had the icon of a car explosion icon pointing at him, before I could really react he blew up.

Eraflure posted:So I'm trying out Horizon and I don't have any of the ammo trouble I hear everyone talking about. Between the vault 111 freebies, the 50 fusion cells Garvey gives and every raider giving me ammo, I'm pretty much set for the next levels. I don't have any other overhaul/loot modification installed, am I just missing something here? I'm just not feeling the super hardcore vibe. It's a shame because the mod looks promising. Did you switch your game to survival difficulty after starting? I am still struggling for ammo even after reaching Diamond City, and I only did that because I was so desperate for a companion who could carry things and shoot. I previously tried to take corvega and ran out of ammo not even half way through. You should be looting mostly damaged rounds from dead bodies and containers, not real bullets. If you are seeing lots of bullets something is wrong.

Lokee posted:Starting a 2nd playthrough with all the DLC, looking to do a power suit build. Any suggestions for some non invasive mods that might improve my quality of life out there? If you want to make getting a good suit of involve some effort then Some Assembly Required is interesting. It makes Power Armour a lot rarer, and a lot of dungeon end rooms have a couple of pieces scattered around the steamer trunk. There is only one whole suit of X-01 in the whole commonwealth and it's pieces are scattered all over the place. The only way to get t-60 is to join the brotherhood, and you need to get on the Prydwind somehow to get one of the X-01 pieces as well. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12050/ http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17859/ (This is a patch to re-add a lot of the legendary power armour pieces added in the later dlc, like the Automatron Tesla pieces) I would recommend Sim Settlements too if you are going to do some settlement stuff. It takes so much hassle out of setting things up and there is a nice progression watching your guys upgrade their houses and farms automatically. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/21872/ I would definitely recommend Raider Overhaul as well. It adds some nice variety to one of the most common enemy types in the game. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9103/ Oh and if nobody has seen it yet True Grass is really really good. Instead of one type of grass repeated across the ground it a wide variety of types, from dying rusty coloured bushes and shrubs to patches of more verdent grass and a mix of weeds. Just make sure you can handle a decent draw distance. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/23469/

Basic Chunnel posted:This is nuts, is it as cool as it looks? My experiences with it are that it is great. The guy making it is patching it weekly as well, he releases regular youtube videos about it. There are also several plugin mods already adding new houses to add the houses already in it. I have had some frustrations with getting settlers to auto pick a plot and build a house themselves recently, not sure if that is my game or not. The only think I would say is that it doesn't seem to like unique NPC's as much as generic settlers, and that I can't get HUD Framework and DEFui to work nicely with each other even with the patch. You can still use it without HUD Framework, but it makes things a Lot easier.

A random video popped up in my feed today with a guy discussing the Fallout 4 concept art and I was really impressed with it. Some of it is really great, Boston with way more clutter and people. Mama Murphy as an older lady on a customised Mr Handy mobility frame with her knitting hanging from a built in drip holder. A shanty city built into a ruined skyscraper. There was a great image of the the survivor with a bleeding fist stepping out of his cryo tube, the glass shattered from punching his way out. It is a shame so much of it didn't make it all the way. I don't really have high hopes for Fallout 5, not after what happened with Andromeda.

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Stupid question: on my current playthrough I'm finding a shitload of legendary items, but for slots I already have filled with other ones. Is there a mod out there that can change something from 'right leg' to 'left arm' or even 'left leg?' I have no idea what that would even be called so searching for it is a bit futile. I can't find it now, but there is a mod that lets your dismantle a legendary item to gain a special mod that you can then apply to another item and give it the same properties.

Oxhorn did a good video about the whole situation. Lot's of knee jerk reactions going on. They explicitly state that they are not stopping people from modding and that they are not going to allow any exisitng mods to be repackaged onto the Creator Club. If you want to make something for it you have to pitch it to Bethesda and they will start paying you to create it from the point of the pitch being accepted. It is actually kind of cool because content creators will be paid all the way through the process, not just when they release. It is also going to have localisation and q&a, with a guarantee of compatibility with existing mods and other Creator Club content if at all possible. If there is going to be any more story content for the game it will be through here as well. Think about it this way. If Bethesda want to release another dlc addon for the game, they need to sell it through steam, xboxlive marketplace and the ps store. If they use this in game system, then they don't need to give a cut to three 3rd parties to do it.

horse mans posted:Did Horizon become insanely easy between 1.0.7 and 1.1.1? I had a fairly lucky start with Alternate Start, but I'm level 4 with 200 rounds of .38 ammo, and I nearly took out a sentry bot mark IV with rockets on its back just by plinking at it with the laser musket from the Museum of Freedom. Come to think of it, the Deathclaw at the Museum went down suspiciously easily, too. Something feels really off. The only other things I did were to remove Arbitration, and the Synth, Super Mutant, Raider, and Minutemen overhauls. I am only saying this because it was a mistake I made without realising, did you change the difficulty to survival after starting the game?

Kingath released a trailer for the industrial update for sim settlements, which includes things like Building upgrade chains 300 new buildings New plot types (guard towers and recreational plots were shown in the trailer) "places to explore" - from the trailer it looked like one of the plots built a mine you could zone into Settlement newspapers that update as you progress through the story Hidden cool things in the new buildings Smog Better settler control so they look like they are working Looks like you can setup production lines. I am sure I am missing things.

I cannot get HUDFramework to play nice with Def_UI. I have manually patched the Hud .swf file but when I launch into the game I just get a message that HUD_Framework isn't required so the components are disabling. Has anyone else had any success? My theory is that it might be something to do with using Mod Organiser instead of NMM. It looks like MO keeps the mod files separate away from the fallout 4 folder, whereas NMM puts them in there. Because there are two separate hudswfs it gets confused?

I'm sorry if this has been answered, I looked through the last few pages and didn't see anything but I might have missed it. I, like a lot of people I am sure, are coming back to Fallout to do a run through because of the TV Show. I started downloading mods but it quickly got really overwhelming with lots of prerequisites piling up and I was getting worried about compatibility. Are there any maintained modpacks (that you can reccomend) out there that pack a bunch of stuff together that are an easier install and setup than trying to get a mod list together from scratch? I would love to throw more quests into the game, and I hear Sim Settlements 2 is worth playing around with, but I would also like some new armour and equipment if possible too.
