For people having the black screen issue - just wait. It takes at least a couple of minutes for me to load fully, on high-end gear.

Found an error. Using the Vortex Collection for latest version, and getting an error with "Wrath (13th Vers) VRO Patch". And found out that Wrath (13th Vers) VRO isn't in the 7.[x] Collection, it's in the 6.[X] mod set.

So either way, the required mod, or required patch, are in different versions and not in the same version listing/collection

@OmicronArkh That is most likely due to the mod "After the Fall", found at the bottom of the mod list.... have a look at it
You can unsubscribe from that and start a new game, then it should be fine

Hey so i downloaded this collection but when i starting a game in crativ there are xenon station in faction space like mars and warth why is that and how can i fix it?

Depends on how much you've waited after loading has finished..... it takes a while to load everything.... I would say wait for like a minute or so after loading. If the black screen persists after two minutes, then there might be some other error.... but (for me at least) the black screen after loading is normal

Hey so I downloaded the mod list on Steam and on Nexus. All Mods installed OK but when I launch a new game I just get a black screen after the loading screen. Any help with this?

Yes I know it's a lot.... I made a light version of this modlist if you're interested, I've noticed a bit of an improvement with that.... I've got like stable 40ish fps with the light version
But what really was a life saver for me is Lossless Scaling (not sponsored btw xD)
Might wanna have a look at that, it's a crazy software

Yes the build looks ultimates, but the frames per second is extremely unstable.

The Mod Support API does not fully work in its current version, but it works when you download the 1.88 from Github (important for Better Piracy, etc)
Lets wait for an update

I would first sub the Steam list, then the Nexus list
As for if you need ALL mods, no, but there are dependencies that mods rely on, especially weapon and sector mods....
The ships are all optional (except for the VRO + adjacent mods), but why have less when you can have more :D

Cheers man, one last question, do I need to download all the Nexus Mods then just subscribe to the Workshop Mods?

Thx mate!
I haven't played in a while, but when I last played (which was two months ago, so stil [6.20]) all the mods worked. With the new [7.0] update there might be some mods that don't work anymore, but I honestly can't tell which. The Nexus collection are all [7.0], so they should work, the rest of the list is still [6.20], but considering that [7.0] did not rebuild the game as drastically as [6.0] did, I would assume that most mods still work fine, even if they haven't been updated to [7.0]. [PART 1]

[PART 2]
As for the sectors, this is really tricky. There are mods that only add sectors and there are mods that add factions with ships and sectors. The ones that I can remember that overlap are XPaned Sectors with Ride of the Ossian Raiders and Farnhams Legend, but there are more. If you would remove sector mods, I would remove XPaned last, but they have a compatability list on their page, so check that out. On the other hand, the sectors still work, even when they are overlapping, because they are only overlapping in the map screen, but are independent entities in the 3D space. But that's up to you if you remove them or not.

Hi man, fantastic looking list. If I download this collection right now will all the mods work? Playing on 7.0. Also what are the mods that are causing the sectors to occupy the same coordinates? Just in case I might want to remove them.

I didn't know Nexus also has collections, so who is really the noob here? xD
Erm, I would say first subscribe to all mods here on Steam, then do the Nexus list, but look out for the XR Shippack and it's VRO patch (I wrote there in what order to install that), then start the game and let it download all the mods (it won't download them immediately when you subscribe, but rather when you start the game)
Ok, so I'll go to Nexus now and try to set up a collection, that will surely help install the mods, so thank you for telling me indirectly that Nexus also has collections :D

Hello. Noob here. What is the best way to install this? Should I just add everything here, and then add everything else from the nexus? If so, do you also have a collection there I can install?

I am aware of that, but I also noticed that the sectors still act as independent sectors on two different "heights", like floors, so the 3D spaces of the sectors are unobstructed by each other
They just occupy the same coordinates, but the jumpgates of e.g. Pious Mists II and Theia World of Dreams are still independent from each other and dont interfere with each other, unlike other jumpgates who actually connect to two different jumpgates, but thats a different topic
At least for me, this is an acceptable flaw, because in return I get dozens of new sectors and a vastly bigger playground

Sectors occupying the same space:
"Admiral Honour Guard" and "Red Light"
"Pious Mists" and "Theia World of Dreams"
