Overview
========

Runner up in two 'Best Skyrim mods' showcases!

The Sidrat is a player home with a difference, able to be relocated to just about anywhere in Skyrim and Solstheim. With additional floors, secrets and over 60 destinations to unlock, initially it's a three story dwemer style tower with crafting and viewing balconies, but a total of fourteen external models can be chosen from when unlocked. Internally there's living quarters, a console room with maps (of locations to discover, select and relocate to), a battling robots game room, an arcade, a garden with hidden vampire lair, the zero room, a display room, a library, a crafting area, a bathroom and the matrix (new worldspace to explore with archery target practice and horse trials). With seven secrets to unlock more features and powers. Contains a mini quest to find, and an unmarked quest to unlock locations and secrets. Countless additional hidden treats, eventually allowing you to set custom destinations in any location - even in other mods.

Infinity Tree (3 hour play through quest + radiant and misc quests) also includes all the Unleashed features as well as the 'Fall of the Dwemer' a Sidrat origins adventure - marooned on a dangerous and desolate world, the dragonborn will discover the fate and secrets of Sorvad, a Tonal Architect, his lost Dwemer expedition and experiments in Tonal Architecture (1-2 hours play through).

Details
=======

"The twin watch towers of Sidrathamz have looked over Eastmarch to Windhelm for centuries uncounted. Trouble is, today there seem to be three..."

Ever wanted a home you could move to some of the beautiful locations in Skyrim? Wondered what happened to the other Eye of Magnus, and just what the heck it was for? Never thought anyone could possibly make a nod to Doctor Who in Skyrim? Well - perhaps this is for you then!
The Infinity Tree - "Travel deep inside the Sidrat to previously unreachable areas, and discover a wealth of new locations and adventures"


Fall of the Dwemer - "History only records the most famous of the Tonal Architects - yet there were others. Travel to another world to discover one lost to time... Sorvad." Journey to Skyroh, and learn more about the legend of the Sidrat, and what became of its creators.

Quest activates after level 5 with a small quest to start to uncover the mystery - and 'Fall of the Dwemer' activates after the 25th flight of the Sidrat. 'The Infinity Tree' activates after 50 flights and unlocking Kayne Eine. The Sidrat must also be landed in Tamriel.

Troubleshooting (contains SPOILERS!)
====================================

Has 'The Sidrat' been installed successfully?

You should see the message 'The Sidrat' installed. Quest triggers after the Dragonborn reaches level 5 appear at the top left when you load a save after installing the mod.

'The Sidrat' adds a small dwemer ruin at the top of the hill just south of Clearspring Tarn in The Rift. Beyond this it also adds two reference to each Sidrat destination. Locations have been chosen to have as little effect on the game as possible - but if anyone finds conflicts or issues with any quests do please let me know.

Note - there's no LOD for the Sidrat, so it will disappear at distance. This is due to the nature of a moveable tower!

Navmeshing has been done internally, but as navmesh cannot be moved or disabled, it's hard to link the outside for followers. That said it does usually work - if they haven't followed you out, you may find a simple fasttravel to the sidrat reminds them to join you.

Backwards compatibility
=======================

This is quite a considerable overhaul under the bonnet, so some issues may be discovered. As such it's recommended to start with a clean save.

Mod Compatibility
=================

MODS IN GENERAL

The Sidrat requires two items to be placed invisibly in each of its landing locations - these have been chosen to give the least disruption possible. If other mods haven't placed or modified anything significant there it should be compatible with almost any mod. It's impossible to check all the other mods, so there's always a chance that the destination location may interfer with them. I suggest you just give them a go! But happy to hear any feedback.

Additionally, from v3.0 it's possible to unlock multiple locations per destination. For example, all the player homesteads have three locations the Sidrat can land. Choose a crystal and it will be locked into that location. Once you've unlocked the summoning whistle, The Sidrat can be 'reprogrammed' at any time to arrive at one of the other locations for that destination by simply whistling for it near the new location.

OPEN CITIES

Compatible - and supported. You must put The Sidrat after it in load order for it to activate. On installation, if you get a message, "No changes needed for Open Cities" it means Open Cities has NOT been detected, so you should try changing the order. If you get the message, "Open Cities detected and supported" then it has been detected, and whilst Open Cities is in your load list, the city destinations will be redirected to the open city versions.

JK'S MODS

Compatible! No big problems here - If you land in Whiterun The Sidrat landing site is occupied by a new well, which fills the lobby! Whilst a little awkward this actually still works, as the internal lift activator can be seen around the edges. Otherwise just the occasional plant makes its way in.

BREEZEHOME, GREATER SKAAL VILLAGE, LEGEND OF THE DRAGONBORN, WINTERSUN

No known conflicts.
