📋 About This Mod
We Are Murderers
This mod adds 9 data chips to the game, one in each of the alien structures, and one additional. As the PDA progresses in its understanding of this lost language, you can decipher more of what really happened all those years ago, when a mysterious alien race landed on 4546B.
Gathering more data chips will improve the PDA's language model, translating more of each entry. The logs are written in a certain order, but they don't have to be gathered in the same order. However, only with all data chips collected the PDA will gather enough information to fully translate each entry.
This mod aims to provide a simple but captivating side story to your quest of survival on the aquatic planet. If you follow the directions the logs give you, you will be able to explore all of the alien bases and sanctuaries and learn about their stories.
Information
- The mod should be compatible with all mods that do not alter the structure of any alien bases. Which, as far as I know, is all of them.
- While the data in the entries is based on information from Subnautica and Subnautica: Below Zero, all of the extra information is not canonical. All text is written by me.
- If you find any bugs, please let me know and I will try my best to resolve them as quickly as possible!
- I'd love feedback and mod ideas similar to this! This was my first deep dive into modding Subnautica, and I'd love to know if people like story-based mods like this.
- All text and models are created by me. Assets are reused from the game at runtime. Voicelines are created with a PDA-trained TTS model or my own voice.
- An amazing thanks to Lyonic for babysitting me through the final touches of this mod. Couldn't have done it without them. Check their stuff out at their Nexus page.
- Thanks to many of the more experienced modders in the Subnautica Modding discord server, answering plenty of my stupid questions.
- Thanks to Ipsalo for betareading the original text drafts for the entries! Who needs grammarly when you have cool people.
- I made a reference to the fanfiction 'In Charge' by Coincidencless. If you enjoy reading, you might like it! Check it out here.
- Finally, shoutout to John Pork.
- Source code is found on github.
Installation
- I recommend using the Vortex Mod Manager, makes life a lot easier.
- If you really want to manually install it, download the zip and extract its contents to the BepInEx plugins folder.
- This, of course requires you to have installed BepInEx. The mod requires Nautilus as well.
- I cannot promise this mod functioning well on existing worlds. I think it should all work, but I haven't tested it extensively.
- This mod has its content spread
