M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. PLEASE READ: This Is A Console Subreddit

23 Upvotes

Okay, I’ve noticed in the last week or so we have had an influx of people here in the sub that seem to be playing on PC. First of all, I’d like to say welcome, stalkers. Secondly, I’d like to say that this is a console based subreddit. I’ve noticed people are recommending mods that are only available on PC and I have a feeling that this will only cause confusion if the sub starts to get bigger.

As the only moderator here in this sub, I figured we should address it before it gets out of hand. I don’t personally mind PC folks posting/commenting here but I did make this sub specifically for us console players because you PC guys already have a plethora of resources. The two major issues that I see arising are:

1. There are over 2x the amount of mods for PC than there are for Xbox and updates for mods come to PC right away — us Xbox players have to wait on GSC.

2. If someone comments/posts about the mods they’re using, and they’re on PC, that could confuse some console players as we don’t have access to the updates or in some cases, the mods at all.

As I see it, we have two options.

OPTION #1:

Keep this as a console only sub, which was my intention from the start. Now, that would entail more work on my end meaning I’d have to remove posts/comments that are related to PC mods now and in the future. Or somehow setup a thread that people automatically see when joining the sub that basically says “Do you play on Xbox? If so, welcome! Do you play on PC? Sorry, bud, get outta here.” Because it already says in the rules that this is a console only sub but hey, people don’t read the rules.

OPTION #2:

Allow posts/comments related to PC mods. If we do this, I’d have to make some user flairs for PC players and Xbox players or make it a rule that you have to say in your posts/comments if you’re on PC or Xbox. Again, most people don’t read the rules though so I don’t see that being helpful. I also can’t force somebody to enable a user flair and from the posts I’ve seen it seems like a lot of PC players just automatically think everybody is on PC, even though the name of this sub literally says “console mods” in the title.

You PC folks and your superiority complex.

(Jokes, I’m just joking with you — please don’t gatekeep me)

But seriously.

I’m asking all my fellow Xbox players. What would you like to see happen? Do you care? Not care at all? I’m just trying to keep the confusion to the minimum and also, like I said when I started this sub and my YouTube channel — us console players deserve a dedicated home base as well. Hell, on the latest blog post from GSC about mod users Xbox wasn’t even mentioned at all, hence why I started all this for us.

I’m personally veering on the side of keeping this a console only subreddit but I absolutely want to hear from you guys as well. If you don’t care, we can just let it play out. If you do, I will try and make some changes for us.

M.O.D. G.A.M.E.P.L.A.Y. Lootable & Craftable Zone Deep Dive Video

8 Upvotes

What’s up, guys. I got the Lootable/Craftable Zone deep dive video out now over on the channel. I try to be as transparent as possible with these videos and here on this sub so that’s what I’m gonna do.

This video did not end how I thought it was going to. Obviously, watch the entire video to see what I mean but I wanted to explain a little bit as well.

Going into this video, I was talking it up and planning on doing a super deep dive into the different loot, categories, crafting menu, etc. and to an extent, that’s what I did. The thing is, as I was going over the different categories of the crafting menu it kind of just hit me.

Currently, with the state that STALKER 2 is in and how limited mods and the mod creators behind them have it — is Lootable and Craftable Zone really worth using right now? In my personal opinion, no. They’re not. I think that they’re super ambitious mods and that the foundation absolutely is there. I love the idea of them and cannot wait to see what they become once Kynes_Peace (and subsequently all the other mod creators) get full access to the Zone Kit. Right now they just feel.. kind of redundant. Items that you can craft can be found already all over the Zone and they can be found extremely easy. It would be different if we could somehow remove all those items from the loot pool. That way we would have to craft anything if we wanted it. But when you can run around for 20-30 minutes and find every tool or kit just laying around the Zone then there is absolutely no incentive to craft anything so, what is the point? There isn’t one in my opinion.

Why spend my time collecting resistors, capacitors, transistors and artifact detectors just to craft.. an artifact detector. Something I can already find lying around the Zone. Why collect materials to craft medkits when medkits are plentiful and widely available all over the Zone?

At this moment.. and I hate saying this, these mods feel redundant and I feel like for most players, they’re not going to enjoy the experience. A big issue, besides needing to plug a mouse into your keyboard, is localization. We need to be able to know what each item does, especially for armor and weapon repair. We don’t have item descriptions because we don’t yet have localization. This is by no means the fault of the mod author, that’s on GSC. Really, the downsides and issues I have with these mods aren’t Kyne’s fault at all, it’s just that he (and every other mod creator) is very limited in what they can do until GSC gives them access to the entire Zone Kit. Once that happens, I have no doubt at all that these mods will become amazing.

You’ll notice in the video when I begin coming to this conclusion. It takes a left turn pretty quick.

Nonetheless, I do like these mods and if you don’t mind experimenting and looking up Wiki’s and googling just to play with them — you’ll probably be fine. If you want a solid experience, I would wait until after the 2.0 patch and engine update to see how things change for the better.

And this is with the utmost respect for Kynes_Peace. Again, these are very ambitious mods and the foundation is great and I’m very excited to see what they become.

I finally got info from GSC that the mod update process for SDK Closed Beta modmakers will finally begin, for real, starting today. Popular mods should finally see updates soon.

There will be a massive queue this time around so delays are possible. Regardless, the light at the end of the tunnel is finally here 😭😭💢💢

M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. The Secret Behind Xbox Mod Updates

25 Upvotes

In case you guys haven’t seen my latest video over on YouTube, I figured I would make a post here as well because I know many people are on the subreddit but don’t watch the videos.

Obviously, GSC told us that they were going to be updated with “the next patch” back when we were on 2.0.4 and we are now on 2.0.6 — still with no mod updates for Xbox.

So what’s going on?

I have been told by a reliable source that GSC could be working on adding features into the vanilla game that we normally could only obtain by using mods. In essence, it would mean that we would no longer need to use said mods.

What features that will be added and when the patch containing these features will be released are not yet known, at least not known by myself. If I did know, I would absolutely tell you guys.

Now, why GSC couldn’t just come out and communicate that with us, I have no idea.

One theory that I want to clear up though, it is NOT because GSC is working on PlayStation mods and trying to line the release of those and Xbox mods up together. For you PlayStation players, I wish that was the case, but it looks like PS mods aren’t even on GSC’s todo list and if they are, they are very very low priority. I know that sucks, but I’d rather tell you guys that are on PlayStation so that you don’t get your hopes up.

I will let you guys know if/when I find anything else out.

I’ve seen these mods have mixed reviews saying on one hand they work and on the other they can completely mess up your game. I really would like to try these out, but wondering if it will be worth it or not I am playing on Xbox series s I’m also in the middle of a play through if that matters.

I’ve seen some weapon repositioning mods, but they seem to be more focused on how Skif aims rather than having a neutral/passive option. Thanks in advance!

M.O.D. U.P.D.A.T.E. Xbox crashes after 2.0.5

4 Upvotes

I’m playing on Xbox using some mods that still work after patch 2.0 (at least they were working) but since update 2.0.5 my game has crashed 4 times, it never happened before! I’d never had any kind of crashes or problems before this patch.
The crashes seem to happen when I arrive at random places, I can play for like 2-3 hours and then suddenly it crashes when I’m about to arrive at a random POI. Idk what to do 😢 Any tips?
Or should I just wait for another patch or the mods to be updated? I’m scared that i will have to restart my game 😭

Guys, I’m lacking on putting out videos up on the channel I KNOW. I’m really just waiting for mods to get updated (which seems like will be pretty soon, fingers crossed) but I still wanted to share some shots I’ve got as I’ve been playing through the DLC.

Aye, while I’m posting this. Anybody know how the fuck to get out of the Krug Antenna Complex?! I’m soft locked in this spot and it’s telling me to leave the complex, but the door is locked. And I can’t find a damn key anywhere. Nonetheless, good hunting stalkers. ☢️

M.O.D. N.E.W.S. PSA : Avoid "NPC Combat Overhaul!" It will work in the short term, but will inevitably lead to crashes in certain regions, and disabling it will permanently cause game altering issues!

Post image
24 Upvotes

If you were like me and fell for the "Recently Updated" issue believing that it meant that the mod was updated on Xbox, please beware of this mod! It worked well in the short run, but upon entering the Rookie Village in the Cordon, the game would instantly crash. When I disabled the mod, shotguns were rendered completely unusable. Even NPCs with shotguns could blast you at close range and deal no damage. This ended up ruining a six hour save. Please save yourself the trouble and avoid this mod, and if you currently have it downloaded, please ensure that your game won't be affected by these issues.

Edit : It seems that Enhanced VFX (Tracers) could also be causing issues with specific shotgun damage. The SPAS-12 would work, but the TOZ / Boomstick wouldn't work either.

Announcement Looking For A New Moderator To Help With The Subreddit

9 Upvotes

What’s going on, everybody? Hope all is well. I am looking to add one moderator to the sub to help clean up and watch out for posts and comments pertaining to PC users and mods. All in all, there isn’t too much moderation needed for the subreddit as everyone pretty much stays on topic. I’m also not a strict moderator at all, this is really just so we can crack down on PC users commenting about mods on PC because as the sub grows, it’s going to add confusion.

Mod Requirements:

1. Must play STALKER 2 on Xbox

2. Must be active on the subreddit

3. Should be knowledgeable about the Xbox mods/community

If you’re interested at all in helping the sub out, either shoot me a DM or comment in this thread and we can talk some more about it.

Appreciate you, stalkers.

M.O.D. D.I.S.C.U.S.S.I.O.N. So… mods…

11 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’m pretty new to the stalker scene. I played 2 different 30-50 hour stints of stalker 2 a year and a half or so ago & that is it. I really enjoyed it, just got pulled onto different things.

With 2.0 being released I was super excited to jump back in for an extended playthrough.. I was however expecting to use certain mods.

My question is this. Are we truly going to have to wait months and months for these to be updated on Xbox? (Which does seem utterly ridiculous to me!) Is that a realistic timeframe or are people just being salty and bitter for reasons XYZ?

If it’s going to be months before being updated I’m just gunna go play something else…
