📋 About This Mod

Zone79's Nomad Suit Mod contains a cool Nomad Settlement on Earth. The only issue is that there's nothing to do there. This mod changes earth so that POI will spawn in the desert regions of Earth including around the Nomad Settlement.

Description

This is a mod I created for myself and my current playthrough that I thought others might benefit from. I discovered the cool settlement that Zone79 created on Earth for the Nomads. I wanted to use that as the starting point for my Nomad playthrough, but I wanted the option to spend time there and do some scavenging and clear some POI so I created this mod. It's a simple mod that removes the non human habitation keyword from Earth, and changes a few flags on the desert biome to allow POI to spawn.  It's a very simple mod.

It requires Zone79's mod as it acts as a patch to enable POI while maintaining the changes Zone79 made to Earth to include the Nomad Settlement.

I believe this will only work if you haven't visited the tile with the Nomad Settlement as once you visit, the surrounding area is baked into your save. So I believe this will only work on a new playthrough if you've already visited the Nomad Settlement. If you haven't yet visited the settlement you can add this no-problem.

NOTE: Unfortunately, I don't have the skills to define what types of POI can spawn or not. So you may end up with bizarre POI that make no sense - like a CryoLab in the desert. My suggestion is to save in space or somewhere other than earth, install this mod, land at the Nomad Settlement, get out and user your scanner to see what POI are there. If they make sense, you're good... keep playing. If you're not happy with the POI that spawned, restore your previous save and land again, and repeat until you get a set of POI around the settlement that make sense to you.

Installation instructions

Install it after Zone 79's Nomad Suit mod in your load order.

Requirements

Other Recommended Mods

If you want to increase the density of POI and structures in the area, I suggest Planet POI and Creature Density Increased... before you land. But use this sparingly where it make sense... like before landing at a settlement as it makes sense for a lot of POI to be built around settlements. But don't keep this installed all the time. Install it before landing at a place you want dense POI, and then uninstall it.  It's perfectly safe to install and uninstall as it's just changing some settings.

If you want a scavenger style playthrough, I highly recommend Galactic Junk Recycler to turn loot into resources.

Shout outs

Of course a huge thanks to Zone79 for his epic mods!
