Crater 87

Crater 87 Main Features:

• A complete quest mod with entirely handcrafted locations to explore. The mod contains three story-related locations (a very large one than two small ones) and two POI locations that are independent of the quest (but loosely connected to the story) that appear randomly in the game world.
• (New in 1.3) A new (very small) POI ("Argos Signal Tower 56") This has a small scene that acts as an intro or epilogue to the events of Crater 87, depending on whether the player finds it before or after playing the Crater 87 main quest. I intentionally set the location to be revealed from the start so the player can make his own conclusions.
• (New in 1.2) A new POI ("Sandswept Crashed Spaceship")which can spawn in Sandy Desert, Rocky Desert and Canyon biomes. It is a rare POI.
• (New in 1.2) Option to de-slime and declutter Crater 87 after beating the main quest (please read the change log further below for details).
• (New in 1.1) A completely new dynamic POI (Sandswept Starfreight Warehouse) that can be found randomly and features a very detailed dungeon with a Galbank shipping container with hefty loot. The new POI can be found whether or not you have played the Crater 87 main quest. (It appears on any planet or moon that has fauna with a 4% chance)
• Lots of dialogue with a fully voiced npc with over 330 voice assets
• The NPC is tightly integrated with the environment in detailed dialogue scenes
• Dialogue choices take into account player background, traits, skills and previous choices made in the base game. And it carefully respects Starfield's lore.
• The player can unlock Crater 87 as a player home after beating the quest. (Please note: This mod was designed as a POI/dungeon with a large quest. Using it as a house is an addition because I wanted for players to have the option to engage with the location in a different way after the quest). So it's not a player home mod with a quest, it is a quest mod with a player home.

What is the mod about? Help the man from Argos uncover the mystery of the Jonesy, a mining shuttle that took off from the Crater 87 facility on Mars and never arrived on Cydonia. The quest is a mix of complex dialogue, lore, combat gameplay, exploration and light puzzle solving.

How to start the quest? Go to the lower level of Cydonia (next to the UC Marine Barracks) and approach the man in the red space suit.

How hard is the quest? The location is leveled for level 20 to 255 . However difficulty also depends on your gameplay difficulty settings.

Note: When starting the mod for the first time, please load in from a save outside of the Sol system. This is because it adds new orbital locations and these require to fly in from another system to load in properly. (it's ok if you visisted Sol before in that save).
