[]Make Free Play great again: This mod aims to improve on the Stalker 2 sandbox experience via providing a way to progress through the Player ranks from Newbie to Master, meanwhile being connected to my other mod, Relation System Overhaul[/]
[]New laboratories quest line: Boozer in Slag Heap is looking for data related to Beta Psi experiments. Your job is to find underground complexes where this data is stored, and safely secure the data drives.[/]
[]A way to progress from Newbie to Master in Free Play
Quest can be picked up and completed with every faction - and has dialogs, journal entries, map markers and rewards.
Three simple tasks, each one of them promoting the player to the next rank
Newbie -> Experienced | X3 in Cordon | Available from game start at Slag Heap (Boozer)
Experienced -> Veteran | Vent Undergrounds in Zaton | Available from Neutral (0) relation with Diggers
Veteran -> Master | X5 (Agroprom) in Yantar | Available from Friendly (401) relation with Diggers[/]
[]Without Relation Overhaul
If you are using only New Game Start mod, you can finish the complete chain from the start, since the vanilla relations are providing Friendly relations with Diggers by default. Please be aware, this mod only makes sense if your player rank is lower than Master; in this case you have a way to move upwards. If you are already Master, you only get the rest of the rewards. See known issues though.[/]
[*]With Relation System Overhaul (the intended way)
You need to setup your game (when installing NGS) to Newbie rank.
The first promotion quest is available by default, but you need to work for the rest.
Since RSO 1. 4 you are getting reputation with Diggers for every repeatable task you do in the Zone, no matter for who (reputation in Slag Heap is more like "fame"). If you are using RSO, you are starting on Disaffected (-200) relation level with Diggers.
You are getting +100 reputation for the X-lab quests, but you still need +100 to reach Neutral for the next one.
