📋 About This Mod
Free Lanes/Terran Armada update compatible
What is it? (spoiler warning!)
Enables Starborn hunting the player without the main quest running in full story mode. For NG+1 onwards, the random space and ground Starborn encounters will continue, unless the story is re-started in conversation with Sarah on 'One Small Step', in which case they will resume at the usual point. These encounters can happen if you go exploring before visiting the Lodge for the first time.
Can I remove this mod safely mid-playthrough?
Possibly, but removing any mod without a unity jump or fresh game start is a dicey move. Best not to.
Any incompatibilities?
Anything else that changes the random Starborn encounter quests.
Load order position?
Below Bethesda content and any bug fix mods, above more substantial mods.
