That's impressive for your first mod. Love the attention to detail and how everything's dusty and dirty and looks like it's slapped together from scraps using tacks and bubblegum (adhesive?). Looking forward to see what you come up with next!
Thanks! I’ll be updating it to have navmeshing so that companions can walk around there but I don’t plan on adding NPC’s there as it’s meant to be more of a lowkey hideout. As I continue learning the creation kit my plan is to eventually make a location that’s more lively with npc’s & stores so definitely be on the lookout for more.
Ok, as you asked, here is my suggestion. Create cave systems in the game with such quality and sophistication. Fill them with animal enemies that attack in hordes and challenge them to defeat! And place such complete voluminous action-packed cave systems on different planets! If you do this, you will be a hero!
Thanks for the suggestions! All of that would be beyond my knowledge right now but I’m gonna try to keep learning the CK so I can hopefully attach quests to a specific location. Example, someone at the landing pad of Gagarin says “there’s complaints of a loud noise coming from the old abandoned mining cave, go check it out” and then you enter the cave to investigate, maybe bodies scattered and a trail of blood would lead you to a spot and out comes a terrormorph or something. I wish I had the knowledge to make that happen for this cave.
Are you saying this cave would be good for having missions tied to it? I would love to brings mods in the future that are new locations with missions tied to them as well, still a lot for me to learn in the CK.
On the main menu of the game you’ll see “creations” head to the creations store and you should see this in there to download. If you filter results for outposts or homes it should be there or search Gagarin Abandoned Cave or MillsBuilds. Download it, and then head to Gagarin Landing on the planet of Gagarin which is in the Alpha Centauri System which is the main system with Jemison. It’s right beside the landing pad when you land at Gagarin to your right.
This looks EXCELLENT. Gagarin is my favorite "real" planet (one with handcrafted settlements), for a variety of reasons, and I love the opportunity to have a starter home there. Liked, subscribed, mod downloaded on Nexus. Can't wait to see more mods from you.
@@MillsBuilds Just started a new game to have a PC use this as the main player home, I'll let you know my further impressions after living in it awhile.
@@MillsBuilds I was looking for a place for someone that's eventually going to unironically go crimson fleet, this place is perfect! Gritty but has everything one needs.
Actually yeah I did, I read up on the Gagarin wiki to get a little more background before building this. It says it started off as a mining settlement, but over time the mines were abandoned and Gagarin instead became a manufacturer for mechs. So this was more supposed to be one of the abandoned mines before the mech manufacturing began.
@@MillsBuilds You should reach out to the guy that does the Darkstar mods. He knows how to do it and seems super willing to support the community. He has a discord and should be able to hit him up there and I would be shocked if he didn't help out.
Would it be possible to make the home in the exterior cell rather than separate? Don't get me wrong this is really awesome. I really just wanna minimize the loading screens XD
Thanks! Unfortunately not, that would take a complete overhaul of the actual outside mountain. When you enter the cave you basically are entering a totally separate world.
Edit: want to expand on my thoughts for how genius this is: Gagarin is a totally underutilized and under-appreciated city. Its unfortunate that the vanilla game only takes us there for one little sub-quest. If you dont romance the ever romanceable Barrett, then you'd never know Gagarin existed. But also genius about this mod, is that you don't need another map landing marker on the planet to navigate. Simply land at Gagarin and stroll on into your cave-home! This is class act. WELL DONE MILLS!!!
Thanks man! It was a very convenient spot, it’s also an odd unused spot on Gagarin to have that little area over there totally empty. If you google Gagarin and read the wiki behind it too (or just know from playing the game) it talks about how Gagarin was an old mining settlement before it started manufacturing mechs. So this is supposed to be one of the old abandoned mines that was left behind. Glad you like it!!
Thanks! Unfortunately companions can’t walk around in here yet but I’m hoping to add navmeshing at some point so they can. Someone helped me out with it on nexus and I’m gonna try it some point after work tomorrow. It will also help me learn how to update a mod.
Yes! I've been waiting for the day that you create your own mod homes! Your builds were already the best on YT. I knew that your mods would be incredible!
I had to look you up just to tell you that this cave is the best starfield mod ever. Perfect vibe for my character, lore friendly, just amazing in every way. Thank you! I’m subscribing to keep up with any more you do! ❤
Sweet! Thanks for watching the vids, I’m happy to finally put out my first mod. It’s great to be able to actually share one of my builds rather than just show them off through a video. Hope you enjoy!
Too cool. I will be watching the CC for the Mills Builds collection. I have one of your videos saved in my favorites already as example of how to decorate REALLY well. One day I’ll work up the courage to take on a living space. 🤣 Catch a smile out there. o7
this is so awesome, the bushes and trees inside the actual cave give it so much more life than a vanilla one, id love to see a crystal cave player home in an asteroid like that one mission in the freestar questline
Thanks! That does sound cool, I got a ton of ideas going now that I’ve learned the basics of creating a new cell in the Creation Kit. Be on the lookout for more!
I absolutely love all your videos. I was so happy when I saw you started making mods and was eager to see your creativity shared with others. I am really into outpost design and have been trying to make a secret smuggler guild hideout (similar to the theives guilds cistern in skyrim). Would love to see your take on that in the future. Keep up the great work!
Thank you and thanks for watching the videos! I’m excited to finally get my first mod out, I never thought I’d make a mod. Starfield is my first Bethesda game I’ve had a PC for so I had to give it a shot! I was actually just playing Skyrim last weekend, but that does sound cool. I’ll be bringing a lot more mods to Starfield in the future be on the lookout!
Thanks you! You are so great that you respond to comments thoughtfully. I know youve got lots on the docket but it would be cool to have an empty version of this poi too. Then all your fans can decorate it in their own style and we can show them off to eachother on different groups!
@@Johnathan3lunt thanks! I always try to respond to people when I can. And I actually don’t think that would be too hard to do. I did wonder if I should make empty locations for you all to decorate yourselves or if you’d all rather just use my builds fully decorated as is. I guess ideally would be best to have both options. I’ve been thinking of making a MillsBuilds discord for ideas, discussions and I could even post sneak peeks of stuff I’m working on.
I think everyone is here because we value your design choices. Was just a thought... If anyone else is like me, they watch all your videos and feel so inspired and its always fun to try designs on your own! I'd be happy to see empty and furnished versions of all you release! The discord is a great idea!
CONGRATS on your first mod, I am thrilled to see that you have started to create player environments! The attention to detail is chefs kiss!! Just amazing for your first mod! For those that are RP as a smuggler or wanted this providers the perfect immersion for them. It is not my personal esthetic but I really really apprecaite the effort taken to create the level of realism for an abandoned industrial site . I love when mod makers - "hide " the work bench's into the environment - so that it fits in seamlessly ( especially in smaller spaces) . I would love to see a player home in a temperate coniferous lake environment, ( like ursa major 2)- Something like a makeover of Vlads Villa or tropical beach with sky views ( like on Jaffa 7a ) . OR a gazebo patio beach bar mod that you could place where ever you wanted . Also wish there was the ability to add the music you wanted. The modder DawnFallNemisis was able to add music from the various lounges in starfield that you can chose from on a computer in Bayus suite player home I appreciated that touch. Cant wait to see what you do next, hoping you have luck with the navmesh for companions that seems to be a nuance for modders I think LOL More times then not I find it does not really work well . CHEERS!!
Thank you!! Definitely will make cleaner more luxurious builds in the future as well. I got a lot of ideas I’m just hoping I’ll be able to figure out how to bring them all to life lol. Right now to add my own random poi on a planet would take me doing some more research, but I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out! And from what I read navmeshing works differently in Starfield than in Skyrim and Fallout but there’s not much info on it besides that, definitely in the plans to add that to this one.
I appreciate that! The possibilities are endless now, I really like how I can share my builds with the community now rather than just “showing them off”. Sometimes there’s details I don’t focus on in my video that you’d only really be able to see if you could visit it in your game as well.
Just bookmarked and Library your mom because of one I like your reviews that you do of other stuff and now that you've made your own and it's in the style that I would like would be an idiot not to download it so I mean I like it so far but as of early reviews just from the video I would say from my personal liking the entryway from the outside and to where you actually get to the stuff that you need to do is a little too long I mean I understand it's a cave it's supposed to be an abandoned mine but there is another cave mod that is like this as well and that was my only critique of it as well but other than that I think it's awesome I'm 100% going to put this on here with my current playthrough because I am a lone star traveler right now in this universe but when I get to my next universe hopefully by then you will have an update for it with the crew because like I said each Universe I go to I try to complete one part of the story my first playthrough was the main story the second playthrough was the Rangers the third playthrough I'm in now is the Crimson Fleet and then when I go to the next one will be the Vanguard or the UC or the Bounty Hunter
Thanks for the review/comment! Before I figured out the lighting the cave entrance was very bright so I extended the entrance to add a bend to it so you couldn’t see the exit from the main area, that’s why it’s a little longer than I would have liked. But since I figured out the lighting I could have shortened it, I do agree though it’s a bit longer than needed but it sells the feel that your holed up deep in a cave lol. Definitely want to learn how to do navmeshing so I companions can wander around, currently they’ll enter but just stay at the front. From what I’ve read it works different in Starfield than FO4 and Skyrim. I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out!
@@MillsBuilds hey man the fact that you're able to make your own mod is what sold me because I started watching your videos when the mods first started coming out. Because the mods that you were reviewing. And I started playing Starfield again because of the mods being released and you're one of the First videos that I watched but again the fact that you're able to do this I mean I wish I could do it I'm pretty sure it's not that hard I know a bunch of people that have videos out there showing how to do it but since my accident my brain doesn't work that well I can't do computer stuff as well as I used to because there's a lot of buildings and doors and stuff like that that's in the game that nobody's put out yet that I would love to get to be able to build with. And there's some outfits that I wish I can change and alter or mixed together or you know armors and stuff like that that they already have in the game. But I mean yeah keep up the work for your first mod man 100% badass job even with the critique it still doesn't drop it past the hundred so I mean I'm very interested in the work that you're going to be doing if you do continue this I mean I'd even be willing to like even look into paying you like 20 bucks to make a specific style mod you know what I mean like the buildings and stuff like that because I know there's a bunch of mods for PC that people do that with that you can pay the martyrs to build specific ones for you I know they do that with Dragon Ball Z I don't know any other games besides like Skyrim Fallout Grand Theft Auto and subnautica in Dragon Ball Xenoverse games that people heavily mod well maybe Hogwarts legacy. I'm really Amazed by it I mean I even have another cave mod that I went and got that's on the outside of alkali and soon as I seen your mom I went and downloaded I uninstalled that one even though I think you should check that one out because I think you can get some good ideas and merge those two styles would be awesome
@@MillsBuilds speaking of that if you do look at that other mod the cave mod that I was saying and yours the way that you have that building and the way that one has like different structure parts you know it would be awesome as hell Ahmad where a spaceship is crashed and it's either in like one of The Ravines and valleys and Grand Canyon style things crashed in the side of the mountain you know the have been like the entry Bay or that docking part is open that's how you get in and out and there's no power to it so you have to build a power source in order to get power to it and that way you still have stuff that's in the spaceship already so that way at the beginning you don't have to you know resource out the stuff it has all the stuff right there down in the basement when you first get there to help out. And that way you can still decorate the inside of the ship you can decorate the outside with other tabs and stuff like that as well something like that would be awesome
This looks fantastic. Really well done. I don't know your background, but as a geek I have watched some Creation Kit videos and how you even understand the CK interface is beyond me. I would love to see a video about how you even knew where to start and how some of it was made. Making regular desks in to workbenches is fantastic. For a first mod you certainly didn't start small. That was some project for a first mod. Congratulation.
Thank you! I have absolutely no background in any of this stuff lol. I’m fairly new to PC, I was a console guy my whole life until last summer. I had just watched Skyrim and FO4 CK tutorials to get me an understanding. Once I figured out how to test my own mod and decorate a little area I kind of just got carried away. I was basically learning as I was going, and there’s still so much more to know. The workbench was actually more simple than I imagined. You basically duplicate the vanilla workbench, and then you can edit its base. You edit it to “set as marker” which basically makes the item invisible and then you place it on your custom workbench. I’m such a beginner at this I can’t even figure out how to upload it to nexus properly 😅 I’m just happy to finally get my first mod out. Thanks again!
Yes sir! See there?!?! Mills always delivers, guaranteed! This is amazing, just as I imagined it would be. Makes me wanna buy a PC so I can start using these new Mills Mods! Hope they come to consoles in the future! Thanks Mills!!!!!!!!!
@@TaylorSmith-godbucket thank you man! you can download it on Xbox as well! It’s available on creations on the main menu. If you don’t want to play with mods on your current character you could start a new play through to check it out.
this is very impressive! i would love to see the workstations, including the cooking station available as a separate mod perhaps? i can see how much hard work went into this, you outdid yourself!
Thank you! Yes this was a huge learning curve, and maybe I should have started smaller for my first mod but I got carried away lol. And that’s a good idea! Sometimes I feel the vanilla workbenches can throw off the feel of a build. In FO4 I know someone had made a mod of custom workbenches. I could definitely try to do that!
Available on both Creations for PC & Xbox as well as on Nexus UPDATE: Now added navmeshing for companions to walk around WARNING: if you already had the mod installed, I recommend removing anything from storage containers before updating to eliminate the risk of losing any items. This is my first mod ever, so please let me know if you experience any issues or bugs! This was all very new to me and I'm happy to finally get my first mod out, still a lot to learn and I cant wait to bring more mods for you all in the future. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
Great vid! I'm taking notes cause I need to. The building in this game is so frustrating. 1 major thing Bethesda needs to do for the base builder is get rid of that yellow holo image of the object u are trying to move around, it would be a lot simpler just to have the object stay in it's current state, it would make it way easier to align things. I find the yellow holo image obstructing & annoying & it draws my attention more than the object I'm working with. 2nd the need to make a universal pointer umm like the one we had in Fallout 4 u know the thing with the arrows Red, Green & Blue for rotating & lowering & raising.
