📋 About This Mod
Gagarin Landing is one of the most underdeveloped settlements in Starfield.
The central hub is nicely built, but everything around it feels rushed and incoherent:
- []How are containers actually moved to the spaceport?
- []How are they loaded into ships?
- []Who manages landings and departures?
- []Where do the corporate executives live, when all we see is a workers’ district?
- []... Why is it so empty ?
_______________________________________________
🟧 FEATURES :
- []Expanded spaceport activity: a new cargo exit with a loading machine, scattered goods and containers across the landing pads, plus fuel and supply vehicles.
- []Control tower: fully decorated and weathered, with peeling paint, dust, and heat damage reflecting Gagarin’s harsh climate.
- []Infrastructure upgrades: a massive water tower to supply the city and cool the factory, radars, defenses, and new control centers.
- []Corporate housing: proper residences for the executives that everyone keeps mentioning.
- []Environmental storytelling: small decorations and narrative details, all carefully weathered to look aged by climate and time.
- []Mission Board: conveniently placed directly on the main landing pad.
- []REV-8 Nova vehicles: added for immersion (and because you're not the only one to own a vehicle).
- []Panoramic screenshot markers: placed at select spots to capture cinematic views of the settlement.
- []Small hidden treasure: somewhere… can you find it
- []2 Technicians working at the landing pads.
- []2 Mechanics working in the hangar.
🔶 PERFORMANCE :
- []Uses only vanilla assets.
- []Designed to be performance-friendly (no new navmesh, no too much clutters, no heavy scripts).
- []Nothing is deleted : some elements are either moved outside the cell or simply disabled.
- []The central hub of Gagarin Landing remains untouched, ensuring that no vanilla quests or activities are broken.
