Starfield HeatLeech Infestation Paid Mod Is It Worth It

[@downix]

See, this is precisely what a 100 creation point mod should be. Its a minor QoL mod, which expands the game without adding new gameplay.

[@downix]

Found a minor bug whereby after the reactor takes damage I cannot use the ships tech to fix it. Kind of irritating to have 2 reactor power. Had to uninstall and reinstall to clear it.

[@smthsmth]

These were best 100 points I invested. That should be the price for mods, 1-2 eur for small ones, 3 for medium, and 5 for big ones. Currently most of them are small for price that varies up to 7-10 a piece. Bethesda is the worst example there, some decorations n shit = 10 eur.

An irishman apologizing for cussing? hell has frozen over.

[@comguaf8093]

I really like your mod reviews :3 thanks

[@Capt_CrimsoN]

This is giving me Gizka vibes from the 1st KOTOR. "Oops! Totally packed a bunch of heatleeches in your cargo hold and some of them got loose. Sorry about that!"

[@jasong.451]

I wonder if "Don't forget to check your ship for heat leaches" will become Starfield's version of "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee"

[@FMCMUSA]

Or the starfield version of "We won't go quietly the Legion can count on that."

[@Paperboyzboss]

This modder has to be in the top 5 in creations.I have most of his mods and they bring alot of life into my game.I am in my 10 NG+ and sitting down with the people I hired felt so real.Bethesda is so lazy but I can see this game surpassing Cyberpunk once modders start to build settlements.

[@GoldenLeafsMovies]

I wish this mod had an expanded version where if you don't take care of it, a Terrormorph could spawn. And an even more hardcore overhaul where Terrormorph could spawn all over planets, giving an apocalyptic feel.

[@Long0Sword]

Couple it with the Royal Terrormorph mod then they all have a small chance of spawning as one.

[@arcticfox3243]

Great review my friend and thanks for being up front about the mod status wish more reviewers did the same. I like the concept of the mod not something i would use but it looks good and i am sure others might like it.

[@mtfreeman800]

Coffee time, looks like a cool immersion mod. Thanks for posting the awesome video.

[@sevnsinnz6468]

Imagine having to clear out your huge C class ship EVERY time you want to fast travel. Yikes!

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

You can tweak the settings, I had it set to max, so it was more visible

[@GHOST600K]

this should of been in the game...they talk about it so much! Wonderful mod.

[@Px2Px2Px2Px2]

*3:46* This part is hilarious because it sounds like the reaction of someone who has actually been in that situation. Like the 'Useful' series, I think it's a good mod that adds a lot to the game with very small changes. I think it could also be applied to the Vortex Horrors, the dimension-hopping monsters in the upcoming DLC. I'll have to figure out what to do with all those corpses, though. I remember in one of your previous reviews you had a mod that removed all the corpses from your ship. Oh, and a flamethrower seems really, really necessary.

[@Mark-lb3bm]

100% checked my ship for leaches my 1st play through... mod adds something that is hinted at early but doesnt excist... perfect addition imo

[@SiNKiLLeR_]

Been trying to get this one to work last few days with no luck. Great review bro :) Good to see it in action.

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

Put it at the bottom of your load order and see if that helps

[@kalebccornett]

I always thought that you should be able to choose both options. One for the short term and one for the long term in dealing with the heat leaches

[@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo]

The ability to grab a live heatleech like it were a snake and yeeting them, that would be something ... and laser net laser array like the magshear but with a sustained laser styled arrays [#], ○, ¤, }{ etc.

[@Ju571n51r]

Minor issue with paying for this mod. I believe that this should have been in the game from the start only because it is talked about so much in the game yet it was never a thing.... That's my really only gripe outside of that I think this was wonderfully done and a great job for the mod author

[@fredshannon8110]

Yes, Heat Leaches can and do burrow in the ground, while exploring I have come across area's in the base game with area's covered with Heat Leach burrows. Especially after doing the Vanguard Quest line.

[@Pieman29666]

This is straight from the fifth element :D

[@falconnm]

I think it's pretty funny that it costs 6000 cr to remove heat leeches, but you can still get massive battle damage repaired on a half million credit ship for only 1000cr 😂

[@Paperboyzboss]

I know right, I can't stand that.I downloaded the maintenance fee mod and have not looked back

[@treyart1]

So I’m paying a mod to infect my ship with heat leaches? 😂

[@SlySoSavage]

yeah my ship with 30+ crew would not let that happen!

[@nywolf9798]

Heatleach barbecue time!! I'll bring the beer :0)

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

This might have been funny on my now-defunct playthrough that glitched out so that I had random NPCs multiplying on my ship. The NPCs and heatleeches could have killed each other off. Fun fact: there's an unfinished flamethrower in the code for Starfield, but Bethesda left it out of the game(like a ton of other stuff...). Paying 6,000 credits to a ship technician to clear heatleeches seems rather exorbitant; remember that ferry missions only pay 3k-5k credits.

[@510DeshawnPlays]

Flamethrower would be nice

[@briancowan4318]

BUT they're Heat Leeches, won't they be impervious to heat? Maybe they should have a cold based weapon like compressed gas?

[@KingDerek58]

I am 99 percent positive this mod is responsible for permanent loss in reactor power without a heat leach infestation even being present. I had a guardian ship go from 27 to 22 permanently and the frontier go from 14 to 11 permanently

[@daledrakewriter4912]

Pretty much every time i load mods i get the silent noise bug

[@JesseJamison-f6i]

This seems like this would be something to install at the beginning of the game.. up until after UC.

[@cmdrnuma7135]

My flagship is an M class with 6 main decks roughly 9x18 and six upper and lower decks that are 9x6. Hunting Leeches in that amount of interior space ugh, no way. Unless the entire crew of 50 joins in the hunt.

[@OneLastScholar]

Modding community took too long to releaae a heatleech mod, now we got a paywalled one.

[@Fuar11]

They should also cling to the outside of your ship and inside the thrusters

[@oldmanaarbeh5112]

Someone should make a heat leech outpost farm LOL requires a generator. This mod should come with a flamethrower like 5th element. Thanks to the mod author for keeping price reasonable

[@Steggman]

mine has stopped working :( It used to work...but now nothing. not even getting options from technicians

[@Nyrok007]

Quite a good mod I must say.😊

[@briancowan4318]

Shouldn't Heat Leeches require a cold based extermination protocol? Anyway, thanks to @Korodic for the mod and @Crimson for the colorful commentary! An Irishman apologizing for cursing, Bwahahaha!

[@shoutmon1337]

Be cooler if the leeches got so bad you got a terrormorph instead

[@Ridingharleys]

Coffee time

[@mrblue415]

For me they keep spawning every few minutes even when chance is 3% and I am flying the vanilla Discovery. Seems bugged to me..

[@Shadowwalker1717]

The idea is great but no matter what I do in the settings they are always on my ship and in higher number than set in the options.

[@giovannilazzari2072]

Would be very cool from Bethesda to take some mods like this one and integrate it on the base game itself. Do you think it could be an option?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

I'd love to see that happen, but I feel like paid mods with achievement support is as close as we will ever get

[@giovannilazzari2072]

@@CrimsonFlyboy I see. Well that would be enough I guess, maybe never as polished as one would expect tho..

[@papaprometheus]

Can you do the Exo race mod? I’m curious about your review on it

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

I'll get a review on it

[@ldrockmusic]

Does anyone know if it conflicts with the immersive ship simulator mod or the main immersive mod?

[@MatthewN8OHU]

They're hungry, i think...

[@lightspeedvictory]

Any idea if it’s possible to clear heat leeches at outposts?

[@CrimsonFlyboy]

I dont believe so. It has to be at a mechanic

[@cmd062]

I like this mod but this is not worth 100c=$1.00. The game costs $70, if you consider how much is in the base game then there is no way this is $1 worth of content, as a matter of fact there is nothing on the creations site that is worth what they are charging. I am not opposed to good mod makers getting some compensation but it should be proportional to overall cost of the base game. The Vulture mod is a prime example of ripoff at 700c=$7, It was a fun, short mission but it was not $7 worth of content when the base game is $70. Creations prices should be capped at 100c and 100c should be for very large mods or expansive quests. They should lower the threshold for credits to 1c instead of 100 so that mods are between free and $1. If something is large enough to be considered a mini DLC or actual DLC then maybe it could be more then 100c.

[@commanderpanda9356]

So, what, the heat leeches are just hanging out inside the ship? Thats lame. They should be hiding up in the ship vents and outside crevices. Having them just spawn inside is extremely lame and not worth the price.

[@Xandros999]

Do basically no merging methods work anymore? I'm not able to do anything.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

There's a patch(currently in beta, so you have to opt-in to it for the moment) that will put merging back into the game as a gameplay option you can toggle in the menu. Until that patch goes live you'll need a mod to merge parts.

[@Xandros999]

@@XoRandomGuyoX Thanks. I thought it was just flip merging that was affected. Gotta wait for the patch then.

[@willia451]

Stop being so edgy with the heatleaches. You're scaring the children.

What children ?
