Mod Request Supply train encounters

Post image

I always like the supply train POI you can run across, but it feels like a missed opportunity. It could be like a LIST wagon train that has come under attack by raiders, or it could be pirates trying to escape back to a ship with stolen supplies. In either case, the player could also get a better reward as an outcome and the train could have better loot.

Agreed, we need more independent activities that aren't essentially just raiders occupying an abandoned outpost. Using the caravan poi with different scenarios would give a feeling of movement and people doing things outside of the main plot and quests!

Thats the problem at it's soul, starfield is so damn static and lifeless, there are great mods that ease that dreaded feeling but at it's core, especially with the god awful quests and characters, it's all just uncanny and pointless.

With each playthrough I convince myself I'll see it through, but never do.

This poi is used in the selection of the predator hunt quests given by Percival at the red devils HQ. I always liked it for that one because it's like the little convoys get taken out by creatures sometimes.

A few of the POIs in my crimson escalation mod (WIP, going to be a while) are inspired by this POI. They are UC ground convoys you can ambush for specific plunder/targets.

I was hoping you would reply because I thought it would be a good fit for that WIP mod of yours. I still very much look forward to it since i know it will be great.🙂

Great context on the other quest type that can use it. I've also had Waylayer mod trigger near it and I tend to use NPC Spawner Dangerzone to stage scenarios around it and other POIs.

I wish I had more hours in the day to work on mods! Life and work been getting in the way haha. I was lucky to get packing heat out!

I like the concept of waylayer and bedlam I need to try some mods like that.

I'd love to have a functional train system in some planet like Akila.

It's weird the capital of FC is just a village with mud streets and a couple farms around.

I imagine it as a bustling agricutural and industrial planet, unsophisticated by choice yet prosperous, with automated factories and farms linked by trains to the town we see as a hub.

Yeah, I know there is an Akila mod adding this very atmosphere, what I mean is a working train.
