📋 About This Mod
Overview:
Caleston Restored is a mod that aims to restore the long, lost planet of Caleston that was cut during development back in 2006. Therum replaced it and was barebones in comparison to what they originally planned. It was meant to be similar in length to Feros and Noveria and included its own story, characters, and consequences. The story, along with plot states have been fully datamined in the files and what has allowed the restoration to begin.
EVERY CHARACTER DOES NOT HAVE VOICED LINES YET AS OF VERSION 0. 80.
YOU MUST USE A SAVE THAT HASN'T STARTED THERUM YET FOR THE MOD TO WORK CORRECTLY. Due to the complexity of the content that needs to be restored, the mod has been split into content releases that will include items based on what phase the story is in. This first release will include the hub, characters, and a few key scenes while the refinery, bore, and additions to the conversations will be in the next update.
. As each update comes out, there will be new cutscenes, updates to existing content, and level changes if need be. While this is an "Alpha", it is fully playable from start to finish and is only like that due to all of the mod's content not being finished yet.
New Content as of v0. 7:
-
[]A new cutscene in the Seventh Moon/Caleston Bar
[
]All of the main NPCs are placed in Throw Down, alas with their entire dialogue.[]4 New Areas Available to Explore - Tunnels, Plaza, Bar, and Garage. The Refinery and Bore will be in the next update.
[]Basic conversations are available, the audio and facefx is not done for every line at this time.
[]A new system, Caleston Rift, is available after following the new Find Liara storyline.
Updates to Basegame Content:
[]The Therum/Caleston skybox has been updated to a new color
[]During the Armature drop scene, the Geth Troopers no longer hold invisible guns
[]The Geth dropship during the Armature drop scene has been updated to be an actual geth ship instead of a gun
[]The quest steps to find Liara T'Soni has been updated
[]Fixed an issue where you would get experience upon save reload in the mines
[]Fixed an issue where the elevator up to Liara was missing target strings
[]A new tunnel has been added to the beginning of current Therum to connect Throw Down and The Ring of Fire

✅ Pros
- Brings back a piece of cut content that lore fans will appreciate.

- Solid community interest with 299 endorsements and 10k+ downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Alpha stage means it may have bugs or incomplete features.
- No detailed description provided, so you're going in blind on what exactly is restored.
- Compatibility with other mods is unknown—could conflict with planet overhaul mods.
For Mass Effect 1 players who are lore-hungry and want to see cut content brought to life. If you're a completionist who's played the game to death, this is a fresh reason to revisit. Skip if you prefer stable, fully polished mods over experimental alpha builds.
