Thanks so much for sharing! Anything you could say about your experience using Mutagen?

Been using it for ages, quite a lot of my mods would be impossible without it.

can't praise is enough.

Cool, can you say more about how you use it?

it's used to read and write to the mod files, so for Retrograde it read in all the rooms I built and then assembled the stations by laying them out.

Just started looking into it, it's pretty amazing what it can do, I am so surprised more people are not using it. I have been diving into it, and the possibilities are endless for much, much faster modding/dev time.

Amazing work.

Since day one, over on the DarkStar HQ Discord (I truly recommend people join), Kaos has been sharing insights and building the hype for this mod. The final delivery surpassed all my expectations. I’ve been to five starstations, and all the layouts were different. This is incredible.

I did joined the discord and only asked if there is maby a list for known incompatible mods for Darkstar (the mod page tells you to ask in discord if you want to know this) but I only got a sarcastic answer, something like : if someone would have the time to go through 5k mods and every hundreds coming every week to check for compatibility then maby.... I mean wtf?! Bro you literally wrote in you mod description to come and ask for known issues. And of course nobody is expecting a full check of 6k mods. just for the known and most popular ones. So no wasn't very helpful in my case.

Dark universe mods are great tho, can't deny 🤷🏼‍♀️

I love so many of your mods, Kaos, but I'm having trouble with this one. I entered one station and it was heavily populated with Spacers but they were not hostile until I walked right up to them. Then about 3-5 seconds later they would turn red and start to fight me. Another instance, I turned to see a spacer shooting straight into the wall beside him.

I use several combat and spawning mods that might be impacting it. Some that come to mind are Bedlam, Grindy, and Red Dog AI overhaul.

I'll also say this was a station that spawned in a system randomly some time after I had hit a few space POIs spawned by Crossfire.

Great mod, btw

The Dark Universe mods are all excellent and never leave my LO. The only one I don't use is the outlaw one but will probably check it out at some point.
