Collectable Astra
For the collectors out there
A simple mod that adds two new bars of Astra to find on your adventures.
A bronze Astra bar, and a Gold Astra bar.
This is my first mod and first time using the CK since Morrowind, so if I've done something stupid please point it out in the comments.
Open to feedback, although very simple I've enjoyed putting the mod together so please comment if you have ideas for improvements.
While the mod is very simple, it might have unintended consequences so use at your own risk.
FAQ
What is the mod for?
Purely collecting at the moment. I like collecting things in BGS games, I liked the new Astra bars and wanted some more variety to them, the new Astra are just two items that I hope bring a small bit of joy to those that also like stumbling across rare and shiny, albeit, pointless loot.
Where can I find them?
They are in the same lootlist/table as normal Astra, the Bronze Astra has a higher chance of spawning compared to normal Astra, while Gold Astra has a lower chance. It should not change the amount of normal Astra you receive*. I have tested in game and in the CK and the Astra are spawning at the rates I would expect. Astra will only spawn in boss/end of area loot chests and if I'm reading the CK correctly there is a 25% chance you'll get an Astra drop.
Will they work with the Tracker Alliance Astra vendor?
No, currently the gold and bronze Astra cannot be used at the vendor to my knowledge, however normal Astra should drop at the standard rate* so this mod shouldn't change any of the balance as far as that mechanic is concerned.
Future updates to the mod?
I would like to get the bronze and gold Astra working with the trackers alliance vendor, ideally you could trade in a gold Astra at the same value as 3 normal currently. This is beyond my knowledge with the CK at the moment but maybe one day soon.
If people like this kind of collectibles mod I'd be open to adding more metal types, or I might try my hand at designing my own bars.
I've been playing for ages and still not found any, is the mod installed correctly?
Try spawning them in with the following console command to check the mod is installed, player.additem FE005806 1 , that should add a gold astra into your inventory.
The colours look a bit off?
Yeah I agree, the lighting in SF is all over the place and sometimes the gold bar looks bright yellow and the bronze looks more rose gold. I'll be tinkering with the textures and updating the mod in the near future.
*I've been using the CK for about 2 days so I could be wrong about this, but if my current understanding of how loot is determined in the CK is correct then it should be fine.
