📋 About This Mod

'Shattered Stones' is a brilliant mod that adds earthquakes to Vvardenfell. Unfortunately, it only affects the Molag Amur region, rather than the Red Mountain itself. It was also a bit buggy -- earthquakes happened 10 times more often than intended, and the cell list excluded the y=0 row of cells entirely, which made earthquakes extend further north than intended, covering Tel Uvirith and nearly touching the Grazelands.

This mod updates 'Shattered Stones', allowing you to configure earthquakes to your own preference. I've included multiple options for how earthquakes apply to the Red Mountain (including or excluding Dagoth Ur), and with additional options for Molag Amur: a) using a fixed version of the default cell list, b) using my own 'minimal' cell list to limit earthquakes to the region east of Lake Nabia and south of the big lava pool, or c) limit earthquakes solely to the Red Mountain.

Finally, I've also included an esp replacer that fixes how often quakes occur.

Note that you must have already installed Shattered Stones to get this mod to work.

Installation

--------------

This is packaged as a BAIN installer to be used with (and replace) the equivalent files in 'Shattered Stones'. Pick only one from each number.

This folder includes the Readme, along with an image showing the affected cells and my notes defining exactly where the cells are covered.

01 danger (Red Mountain Only - Dagoth Ur)

01 danger (Red Mountain Only + Dagoth Ur)

The original mod came with a set of R0_qk_danger.cells that actually apply the earthquake mechanic. The original mod only affected the Molag Amur region. These files apply earthquakes exclusively to the Red Mountain Region, covering every exterior and interior cell within the Ghostfence. The first option makes an exception for Dagoth Ur (exterior and interior cells) and the first cell past the Ghostfence (which includes the Shrine of Pride). The second option includes both Dagoth Ur (everything except the Ahkulakan's Chamber) and the Shrine of Pride.

01 danger (RM - Dagoth + default Molag Amur)

01 danger (RM - Dagoth + minimal Molag Amur)

01 danger (RM + Dagoth + default Molag Amur)

01 danger (RM + Dagoth + minimal Molag Amur)

These files apply the earthquake mechanic to both Red Mountain and Molag Amur. The 'default Molag Amur' option uses the original mod coverage, applying earthquakes to the whole region around the lava pits, though I did make one fix mentioned above. The 'minimal Molag Amur' limits the earthquakes to the cells east of Lake Nabia and south of the big lava pit. (Reminder: pick only one '01' folder).
