I’m happy to announce that ACT is now feature complete. All core functionalities are in place, and I’ve created compatibility plugins for several popular mods that introduce new skills and perk trees. Below is an overview of the current compatibility patches. If there are others you’d like to see, please let me know!
Current Compatibility Plugins
Feedback Welcome!
ACT’s extensibility makes adding compatibility for new skills or perk trees straightforward. Let me know if there are any other mods you’d like to see integrated. Your suggestions and feedback are always appreciated!
I do have one minor issue - about a dozen activities are still active even though I've maxed the corresponding skill.
Is there a way to remove those activity entries?
While playing I was suddenly equipped with the Alien Reanimation power - out of the blue. I was able to figure out, that it happens, whenever I trade with Sarah for the first time. It doesn't matter how I open her inventory, and I don't have to trade anything with her. Just opening her inventory and closing it, grants me with said power.
The only mods overriding this power's records (magical ability, spell, etc.) is Royal Galaxy and the Starborn Perk Tree Patch for it. But it only changes durability, so that's not the reason. It must be some scripted event. But it's probably super hard to track this down properly, because therefore I'd have to decompile several scripts from multiple mods and figure out, how they interact with each other. The spell's formID might be used somewhere. If I need to guess, I'd point on either Starborn Perk Tree affecting one of my other mods somehow - or vice versa. I didn't happen with the same setup before adding said mods. But that's just in theory.
Thought, I'd ask here and hope someone else has a better idea.
🔧 Optimized Tech Tree (Playtest-Driven Adjustments):
🛡 Shield Systems → 🛠 Starship Engineering → 🚀 Starship Design → 📦 Payloads
From my experience, reaching Boost Assault felt well-balanced and not overly grindy.
I’m also considering an optional Fitness Perk override that would reduce the number of challenge completions required, for those who want a smoother progression.
Always open to feedback! If suggesting changes to gameplay sequencing or mechanics, be ready to propose viable alternatives to address grind/clunkiness. Let’s refine this together!
I love your mod and I think tit is conceptually superior to the perk point system of vanilla Starfield. Here are my thoughts at the moment:
1. I am having an issue that might be related to the commerce perk where I am now selling things for at least double what they can be bought.
2. Getting starship design going is an awful grind of unrelated activities. In the end, you can capture many more, more powerful ships after all that grav jumping everywhere than to build them.
1. Commerce Perk Issue - A.C.T. itself doesn’t modify perks or their effects—only the unlocking of them based on gameplay. The perk should function exactly as it does in vanilla once acquired. It’s possible that something else (another mod, game setting, or even a vendor refresh bug) is affecting the pricing. Have you noticed this change happening suddenly, or did it gradually increase over time?
2. Starship Design Progression - I agree that the way Starship Design gets learned is extremely grindy and just not fun - would like it to feel connected to actual shipbuilding. Since A.C.T. aims for organic progression, I’d love to hear your thoughts—what kinds of gameplay actions do you think should contribute to learning Starship Design?
For example:
...or should I just gift the player a small handful of "Epiphany points" along the way to allow you to use wisely at moments of gind time here or elsewhere.
If you have any ideas about what would make this progression feel better, I’d love to hear them!
Thanks again for your feedback, and I appreciate your time testing out A.C.T.
I do have a few suggestions, though. There are some notorious challenges, and some that aren't notorious but when they're now on the critical path of progression become a problem. In particular, fitness as we all know is an absolute pain in the ass to level up, and the nature of this mod makes that an actual problem if you want the skills gated behind it. If this is a design and balance choice, i defer to the author's judgement.
Second, one that doesn't seem like a problem but is, we have payloads. You have to do an INSANE amount of jumps, with a nearly full cargo hold, to progress that skill, and Starship Design is gated behind it. For those of us who just want to play with legos in the ship builder, that's an issue. My solution was to use Shade's mod that lets you trade cash or quantum essence for a perk point to point up one or two things that were locked behind hours or days of progression.
An optional patch is a thought, or a minor revamp of the tree, so design isn't gated behind a single linear tree and had other ways to get there.
After that, Stealth levels automatically based on more sneak attacks—no need to sit or sleep again, assuming you have the required prerequisite mods for ACT installed.
Are you experiencing issues with learning the first rank initially, or is it the leveling afterward that isn't working? Do you have any mods that modify the stealth skills?
From you description, it seems you are having trouble with the PerkAutoLevel. Feel free to DM me if you want to troubleshoot further. That said, uninstalling mid playthrough and reinstalling for any mod unless just a pure texture/mesh one is generally not recommended.
