This mod aims to remove the hassle of doing introductory quest without affecting the rest of the main storyline (so you still have to do racial scans and defeat the Ruin). These are the features:

• Start with repaired ship right off the bat
  (you can travel to other systems immediately as long as you have fuel);
  
• Teleport directly to Outpost after booting up your ship;
  
• No longer need to collect 20 Core Fragments to repair the Ancient Gate;
  
• Shops in the Outpost (including mechs!) are unlocked right off the bat as if you have completed the Erchius Facility quest;
  
• No longer need to do the Outpost scanning, just talk right to Esther;
  
• Truly optional Erchius Mining Facility quest! Jump straight to artifacts collection quests.

The Erchius quest has been made as a side-quest,
which means you can progress through the main story without ever touching that quest!

.

If you install this mod after you boot your ship, your ship won't be upgraded.

LowClueHunt-20 - makes the scanning quest less tedious.


Optional Story - not compatible with this mod.


YES! Right off the bat!

This mod will not only makes the Erchius quest optional, but also make the Vinalisj introduction quest in FU (the one where you have to make crafting tables) COMPLETELY OPTIONAL!

You can tell that white alien guy to shut up and go straight to the cavern!

SORRY! FU update broke compatibility again. Please ask FU team to make it compatible as the issue is on their end.


.




Yes.


Yes. It's now a side-quest.

You also don't need to do Erchius quest to repair your ship, unlock mech, and scan for 3D printer.


Not anymore! Read the question just above.


Install this mod with NEW character. Because the ship is repaired when you boot your ship for the first time. Not by Penguin Pete.

There's a solution though: type "/admin" (without the double quote) in your chat to enable admin mode. Then type "/spawnitem shipT3". You'll get an item, use it. Type "/admin" again to disable admin mode.

Not caused by this mod. You might have another character in the save file that already completes all story mission.
