This mod adds 11 new Nova Galactic 1x1 habs to the shipbuilding menu, each meticulously crafted to give your vessel cozy and compact functionality. Whether you're building a viciously efficient tiny ship or a luxurious flagship, these new habs offer flexibility for every part of your journey.
New Habs Added:
- All-in-One – A compact multi-purpose hab, perfect for tiny ships or multifunctional spaces. Includes a mission board console and a nav/dining table with cove seating.
- Battle Stations – A dedicated area to conduct strategic planning and control current operations. Includes a mission board console and a nav table.
- Brig/Armory – Store prisoners, weapons, and gear in a secure, functional space. Useful Brigs/Non-Lethal Framework patch available.
- Captain's Quarters – A stylish, private retreat for your captain, complete with all the luxuries of command. Includes a custom double bed, unlimited storage safe, nav terminal, and (static) stocked bar.
- Crew Quarters – Berth space for your crew, optimized for rest, comfort, and hygiene.
- Engineering – A dedicated area for ship maintenance, systems management, and engineering needs. Includes a built-in industrial workstation.
- Gym – Keep your crew in top shape with a fully-equipped workout space.
- Infirmary – Medical bay for surgery and crew healthcare, equipped with medical beds, a research terminal, and a pharma workstation. Compatible with Functional Infirmaries.
- Living Quarters – A comfortable common area for your crew, designed for group recreation and relaxation.
- Mess Hall – A dining area for your crew to gather, eat, and socialize. Includes a complete cooking bench.
- Workshop – A place for crafting, repairing, and assembling equipment for your journey. All workbenches included, plus a research and nav terminals. Also works well as an All-in-One given its bunk, lav, and galley.
Custom Hab Parts:
Custom 2-piece fore/aft corners and end pieces make better use of space that is mostly wasted in vanilla habs. These modular pieces make space for galleys, lavs, coves, bunks, and walls in the corners that don't get zapped when you connect a hatch.
I've also created a deep single-width cove piece for the fore, aft, port, and starboard bulkheads that offers more space when there's no hatch there. This piece and the modular corners make these habs feel spacious even though they're still 1x1s.
Static Decorations:
Now that miscellaneous clutter no longer respawns, vanilla ship habs can feel bland and bare. This mod overcomes that by converting various MISC, MSTT, and ALCH items into STAT or instanced static PKINs so they appear in these habs.
Door Placement and Place Doors Yourself (PDY) Compatibility:
In the base mod, I've disabled the aft door on six habs (Battle Stations, Captain's Quarters, Crew Quarters, Gym, Living Quarters, Mess Hall) to protect important objects like the captain's bed and to help you avoid having a maze of auto-placed doors in your ship. These work best when you place them to port and starboard of a central corridor of other habs.
If you want more control, I recommend you install PDY (https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/6601) and the PDY patch I've posted in Optional Files. It allows you to place doors anywhere you choose.
Useful Brigs (UB) & Non-Lethal Framework (NLF) Compatibility:
Under Optional Files, I've posted a patch making the Brig/Armory hab compatible with Useful Brigs (https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/8139) and Non-Lethal Framework (https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/7812).
Installation:
Download and install the base mod and any desired patches with your mod manager.
If you're using the optional patches, make sure GrafsHabs-Nova1x1.esm is loading after (lower in your load order than) PDY, UB, and NLF, and that the patches load after that. Just drag them down if they're not. If you have everything installed, your load order should look like this:
- PlaceDoorsYourself.esm
- Useful Brigs.esm
- Non-Lethal Framework.esm
- GrafsHabs-Nova1x1.esm
- GrafsHabs-Nova1x1-PDYPatch.esm
- GrafsHabs-Nova1x1-UBPatch.esm
In the shipbuilding menu, access the new habs from the vanilla HABS > Nova Galactic 1x1 menu. I've injected them there to avoid creating unnecessary new menus.
