📋 About This Mod
Description
Delays the start of the first quest from the Terran Armada DLC.
How to Use
Choose ONE main file.
Player Level Version: In Settings > Gameplay Options > Terran Armada Options > Start at Player Level, select the player level that you wish to start the Terran Armada DLC. Choices are level 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50. The recommended level is 50.
Main Quest Progress Version: In Settings > Gameplay Options > Terran Armada Options > Start After, select the progress of the main quest line you wish to complete before starting the Terran Armada DLC.
Both Versions: You may also select Delay Indefinitely to delay it until you select another option. It is set to Delay Indefinitely by default. Once you reach the selected player level (or above) OR reach the selected main quest progress, the quest will start but it will not be added to your log until you listen to the SSNN Broadcast.
Important
Even if the quest is not yet present in your mission log but you've completed "One Small Step" before installing the mod, changing the setting will have no effect as the quest starts automatically after "One Small Step".
Optional Way to Start
For even more control try Terran Armada No Auto Start which allows you to start the DLC whenever you want by listening to an audio slate. It is not compatible with this mod however, so pick one or the other.
Console Ports
Player Level Version is on Creations
Terran Armada Delayed is a gameplay mod that lets you delay the Terran Armada's arrival based on your player level or main quest progress, with an option to delay it indefinitely. It's for players who want more control over when this major event triggers, offering flexible settings through Gameplay Options.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives you full control over when the Terran Armada shows up—no more being forced into endgame content before you're ready.
- Flexible triggers: pick between level-based or quest-progress-based delays, plus an infinite delay option for sandbox-style play.
- Community-trusted with 305 endorsements and over 30k downloads, so it's proven to work for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed instructions in the description—you'll need to figure out the exact settings on your own.
- Only affects the Terran Armada timing; if you wanted other gameplay tweaks, this won't help.
- Last updated in April 2026—if the game has had patches since then, compatibility could be an issue.
For players who want to pace their playthrough and avoid the Terran Armada event until they're truly ready. Also great for sandbox-style gamers who prefer to delay major events indefinitely. Skip if you're fine with the default timing or want broader gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your Gameplay Options after installing to set your preferred delay method—level or quest progress.
- If you're not sure which option to pick, start with a level-based delay to keep things straightforward.
- Since the mod only affects timing, it should be safe to add mid-playthrough, but test on a save you don't mind losing.
