Starting tonight, Wednesday February 1st, I'm starting a new playthrough!
First stream will go live at 9:00 PM central tonight here:
The goal of this playthrough is to experience the hardest difficulty options in a real playthrough, search for sore points we need to address to ensure that while the gameplay is complex and challenging - it isn't unfair and unfun.
Other Goals
We'll be playing through the questline again as a means of unlocking different elements and pacing ourselves.
This will be a much lengthier playthrough than Easy Mode, with a lot of time spent mucking around with settlement mechanics to get our balances right to optimize our chance of success with the systems. Very likely this will be the playthrough I do on stream up until Chapter 3 releases later this year.
Much like the previous playthroughs, I'm hoping to use this opportunity to discover and fix bugs, and also to look into opportunities for improving the mod overall.
Stream Format
The format will be mostly identical to the last playthrough:
Each session my goal will be to play an hour or two, almost entirely focused on the game, though will pause for Superchats - if any of you wants to support the mod - as all funds raised will either go back into the mod, or be donated to charity!
After the gameplay section, most days I'll stop and go full audience engagement - and do a Q&A until I'm ready to go to bed. I can show you features, answer questions about the mods, etc. I'll also be bringing back guests periodically to talk about the mod or do fun things like "Superchats for Charity".
Load Order
The load order is the same as the previous playthrough, though I may start installing add-on packs as we go to get more building variety.
This is all I'll be playing with to start:
HUD Framework
Workshop Framework
SS2 + SS2Extended
Chapter 2
Rise of the Commonwealth
F4SE Plugins
Place Everywhere
Better Console F4SE
MCM
Unlimited Survival Mode
I also have a couple utility mods I've made for myself to troubleshoot bugs - but they add nothing but console commands.
