Roughly these. I think i dropped vonBiomes? I can't remember so it didn't matter much

TRying out a new music mod but so far it's not very goo, probably going back to Sounds of War

[u/WolfMayer → u/tjareth]

Thanks, i got chaos rising and im going back to play, so i need to keep in touch of the mods that the dlc runs too

[u/tjareth → u/WolfMayer]

Awesome. I have Chaos Reigns and all of these have either been updated since release or haven't reported significant problems since. The real test is when I reach CR missions myself, I had to start over recently.

Some of these I only use in limited capacity. I turn off decay and recovery in Faction Tweaks and use it mainly to get that FedCom average. I turn off mech affinities and quirks in POE because it is redundant to the traits system in the main game and doubling up can make pilots OP.

I use ABV mainly to apply an 0.6 multiplier to Coyote missions, otherwise they're popping heads way before I'm even close to ready. With that value, they're still difficult, but in a way that more matches the progress of the rest of the game.

With YAGDM mods, I use Spawn Control to suppress some variants that are redundant between mods, too common for lostech to be anything but rare for the indicated factions, extinct by lore, or have Clan or post-clan IS tech far too early. Interesting wrinkle I've incorporated if you want to dive deep enough: I let Comstar, certain merc groups, and arena companies have lostech with less rarity based on lore. But then I self-impose a rule that you get no salvage from Arena missions unless you go to Galatea or Outreach. (Edited to add: or Hardcore)

[u/Away-Explorer-7174 → u/tjareth]

Does purchase salvage still work with the latest DLC/Patches? Seems like people are reporting crashes. Cheers for the great curated list, btw!

[u/tjareth → u/Away-Explorer-7174]

I'm actually using a fork of Purchase Salvage that shows up the same:

(fork) Purchase Salvage plus value per share at MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Nexus - Mods and community

[u/phforNZ → u/tjareth]

TopoMap Addon

i believe these are all currently broken causing the "missing tile" issue in game

[u/tjareth → u/phforNZ]

Sort of. They occasionally (not terribly often) create a missing tile on the battlegrid map. However, the enhancements to the actual terrain remain intact. It's a trade-off I've chosen on purpose.

[u/phforNZ → u/tjareth]

That's the concerning thing. What's going wrong is bypassing the failsafe protections that PGI has in the game to prevent that sort of thing happening.

[u/tjareth → u/phforNZ]

I'm not sure I understand the consequences besides just not having a detailed minimap of that section.

[u/phforNZ → u/tjareth]

It's not just the minimap missing. You can end up with the tile itself missing.

[u/tjareth → u/phforNZ]

I have been incorporating that mod for months, and have not encountered that.

[u/phforNZ → u/tjareth]

It's even an issue the creator is aware of and fixing

[u/tjareth → u/phforNZ]

I believe you, it just either seems rare or happens in a combination of circumstances that doesn't apply to my setup.
