  • As someone who is seemingly constantly working on computers and has done a ton of engine building and other deep car stuff, in addition to the garage mentioned previously, I’d recommend buying a buildable engine core for your subaru, getting that built (either do it yourself - recommended, or by a machine shop - will probably work well, but will cost a lot of $$) and having it ready to install rather than trying to pull the existing engine out and rebuilding it - especially if the current engine still runs.

    Unless your plan is to make a hobby of having exploded cars in the yard, this’ll go a long way towards putting an end in sight for an engine rebuilding venture.

    Also fuck all car subscriptions - that’s some gross profiteering right there…

    I’m already playing with around 175 mods, which has eliminated a lot of the stupider issues with the game (e.g. broke merchants that make it impossible to conveniently sell off loot, crazy high ship registration fees, those mind bogglingly awful crowd NPCs, etc. etc.).

    TBH, the main quest is incredibly uninteresting to me (never completed the Skyrim main quest either, though I’ve had a blast playing a 2500+ modlist for many hours in both SE and VR) but I’ve been having a lot of fun scanning planets and taking on random quests in various locations.

    I think if it weren’t for the mods that already exist I’d find Starfield to be too dull and grindy to play for more than a few hours, but with them I’m staying engaged enough to buy the modding community more time to work its magic. Guess it’s kinda sad that this game needs mods to pull its bacon out of the fire, but cool that the modders have already accomplished as much as they have.
