Getting into this for the first time

As someone not new to this sort of genre, whats the /v/ approved mods for this game?
I saw anons in the past focusing on coompacks but those seem too hard to setup and the mods are all unavailable

Improved thralls and some other minor QoL

does no one play this game

>>724198065 (OP)
anything you think is lacking in qol. then just go through the most popular mods and see if there's anything you like. then just browse and add as you see fit

>>724198065 (OP)
The first time I played it with a friend, but he wasn’t as into it as I was. The second time I finished the game solo. Both times on normal, no mods, all bosses. It was fun.

Anyway, I need to know if Dune Awakening is made similarly. From what I’ve seen, it seems more tilted toward PvP than Conan. Can someone confirm or deny this, please?

>>724198065 (OP)
I just wanna know what level of degeneracy is in this game compared to Skyrim.

>>724202646
there used to be anons here who would post there degen setups but seems most of them have disappeared

>>724198065 (OP)
I used to play it single player with Conan sexiles and a few beauty mods. It's an ok game, but still feels like you're playing an empty MMO. I've never tried playing in an actual server with coom mods, so maybe the experience there is better.

>As someone not new to this sort of genre
its a mix of genres.
it lures you in thinking it'll be yet another survival crafting game but with a dick/boob slider, but in reality its a shittier Dark Souls/Elden Ring with everything time gated behind big resource farming grinds.
My advice is to pirate it, play solo offline and crank up the exp rates, drop rates and time everything takes in the settings so you dont die of old age getting anything done.
Playing online is shitty and worthless cuz the second you log off some faggot 12yo Chinese kid is going to knock down all your shit, wiping 100s of hours of progress.

>>724204785
dick sliders?

played this when it came out
fun survival/craft game for a while with friends

man, those were good times

On the surface it looks like a game I want. In the details it's boring. I can't help but feel a better game would be 50% conan exiles and 50% the age of conan MMO's tutorial isle that's basically a single player RPG (especially the night version).

Somehow Exiles is too much of a sandbox, and not enough of one. They lack a lot of the basic features of these other survival sandboxes. They play with RPG stuff without actually committing to making real dialogues, RPG progression or interesting character advancement.

Also the store FOTM cycle is toxic. Just kill it put it all in a DLC so people can just buy that shit if they want it.

I say that but even the DLCs had the problem of "oh you bought the DLC heres the thing you get for buying the DLC" instead of adding it into the world for you to get the new thing through gameplay.

And gameplay is the other area they never fully fleshed out especially the combat. They tried but they never really figured it out .They made a stamina combat system without making enemies encounters that take it into account. Good Stamina systems are a dance of player stamina movement and attacks against enemies tailor made for those possibilities.

I liked the idea of the Sorcery update, at least you actually had to earn and unlock that stuff in gameplay but actually using the 'non traditional sorcery' they came up with was cumbersome and just going around whacking stuff with weapons was almost always the right option outside of very particular almost exploitative tactics where sorcery felt too strong but that was basically a "you were never in danger and laid waste to an entire area of threats that never even knew you were there" sort of thing. Not really fun even when it could be used effectively.

Is there a 2025 coomlist for this game?

>>724211850
Bumping for this.

>>724198065 (OP)
Fun game. Here's how I play:

UI/QUALITY OF LIFE
>Twin-Bar (Dual-Shortcutbar)
Adds a second hotbar slot above each of the existing ones that you can swap to with Shift+1-0

>Stacksize Plus
Increase default stack size by whatever multiplier you like. I have mine set to 100x, so something that normally stacks to 10 now stacks to 1,000. Items that cannot stack (like weapons) are unaffected.

>Unlock Plus
Can extend storage slots by a multiplier, similar to Stacksize Plus. I have mine set to 2.0 to double the number of slots in each container. That combined with Stacksize Plus really cleans up base inventory. Also contains the functionality to "grab" materials from your base to craft, rather than having to go find them and put them in the crafting station. I couldn't live without it.

>Armor and Weapon Stats in Bench
>Player Ignores Follower Collision
Self-explanatory

LOOKS/CUSTOMIZATION
>Fashionist
Easy-to-access transmog on the inventory page. Ability to hide armor pieces. Also works for thralls with the Thrall Outfitter's Bench item.

>Heritage
NPC sliders rework. Makes for less goofy NPCs. Doesn't affect you or existing NPCs at all, just changes the tables used for new spawns. There are no new textures/models, it's entirely vanilla, just with less wonky values.

>Improved Quality of Life
Jump back into the character creator with Shift+M or customize thralls from their radial menu. It also does other stuff (minimap, customized map marker colors, etc.) but I have all of those turned off.

Continued: >>724215291
GRIND-REDUCING
>Tier 4 Followers - Mild Increased Spawnid=1467634310
Base-game, T4 followers have about a 1-2% chance of spawning in areas that they can appear at. This ups that by an order of magnitude, to 10-20%. Still rare, but less "MMO-raid-drop" rare.

>Reliable Meteor Showers:
Sometimes you have a lot of star metal on the map, other times there's none. This mod basically checks if there's little/no star metal on the map and if it's below a certain threshold it'll make a meteor shower.

SERVER SETTINGS:
>Progression
I increase thrall XP by 5x. There's no slider for this, so instead you have to increase ALL the sliders to 5x, then set your own (the "Player XP Rate Multiplier) to 0.2x, which cancels it out. The result is that thralls gain xp 5x as fast, but everything else is untouched. It's jank but whatever.

>Harvesting
Set the Land Claim Radius Multiplier to the minimum. This is an anti-griefing setting for public servers, in order to prevent other players from building inside your base. In single-player all it does is prevent nearby wildlife and resource spawns, which you probably want.

>Crafting
Every multiplier except cost is set to the minimum. The game is balanced around a server that's online 24/7, and these craft times are supposed to run overnight. If you're not doing that, then just set them to the minimum. It's much more reasonable.

thanks anon is a good list. Saved and will use this, lot of what you posted would be impossible to know

any coom mod recommendations?

>>724215514
No problem, and--sorry Anon--I am not familiar with the coomer mods. Maybe somebody else can tag in for those.

tot custom is way better.

This is only true on PVP servers, PVE servers are the best experience you can have with Conan Exiles, co-op is fantastic and building bases with bros is 10/10.

Everything else you said is spot on though.

fucking retard, you don't even deserve shitty advice

The only approved Funcom tactic is not touching their shit.

>let me gatekeep my decade old game
kill yourself retard

Degenerate game. Promotes torure and breaking people. Don't advertise it.
Good to wander, avoid enemies to ge further. All enemies dangerous in it. Just playing to go sightseeing.

Not a good thing to apply to life. Needs mystery and substance to things nothing to do with university filth.

>play a game for fun
>they add a battlepass to it
>it's actually decent but I still feel like a moron for buying it
>starts to feel like work so i stop playing
>they remove the battlepass
>i feel like i missed out so I don't want to play anymore

They got 45 bucks from me and I got nearly 500 hours out of it but I probably won't ever play it again.
