No, no, and not really no. Unlike ship packs, faction mods require a new game.

Why is that

Faction mods usually add the bulk if not all of their content solely to the faction they add. 

Which means if that faction doesn’t have any planets or bases in your save there’s no where that the ships from the mod can spawn.  And in the base game faction spawning can only happen when making a new game.

I think that if you have Nex though and your save has faction respawn on there’s a chance newly added factions might ‘respawn’ and try to claim a new system.  But I’m not entirely clear on the exact details of that interaction.

If you don’t care about them spawning naturally though the ships and items and so on are all in the game you’ll just have to add them to your fleet using the console command mod to cheat them in.

Another option that might work if you have nex and respawn off is giving a planet you control to the faction your adding.  I’m not sure if that will work or if that’ll work for all faction mods but you can try it by going to one of your colonies and contacting the admin person in the contact list and tell him to give the colony to that faction.  This or course has the additional effect of the newly respawned faction really liking you for obvious reasons.

holy crap no way!!! Then why can some faction mods be added to a save anyway? CRAZY

Well yes in a jury rigged type of way.  If they have any special star systems they of course won’t have them.  And there might be other issues as well I don’t know about. 

But the methods I mentioned should let you jury rig in at least a good few factions.

Again doing this sort of voids your warranty as your very much jury rigging things and I’m no expert on this myself. 

But for getting the ships weapons and so on console commanding them in works just fine. 

I have no idea at all if you’ll be able to find their blue print packs out in the wilds like you usually can and I don’t think any factions exploration stuff will spawn at all like derelicts or fancy encounters out in space as those require specific star systems and you basically can’t generate systems after game start.

So if you want the full experience for sure start a new game as what I’m suggesting is very much a jury rigged type of ‘fix’

Diable is way out in the boonies, I'm not writing an unreliable piece of code to try and squeeze their systems between existing ones, trying to avoid overlaps. It's just not worth the effort either given the extremely narrow use case.

That's neither an extremely narrow use case, or very much effort to do anyway.

Hello. First post here. Downloaded this mod and the addon skin i liked. Issue is though the skin i downloaded doesn't seem to have any textures within its package? and has no affect in-game.

luxurious_bronze_midline_engines_by_Nes.zip. I liked this one the most because i felt it kept itself closer to the vanilla color scheme. The zip however only seems to be 3kb in size and only has a engine styles json config folder within. I think its missing its textures!

Thanks

There's a more recent link in the Unofficial Starsector discord I believe.

Don't bother using Nex. Apparently Nex rebalanced vanilla ships to be on par with other mods. This mod is already underpowered in vanilla standard. Yeah, it's best just start a new vanilla game.

Where the hell did you get that? I really don’t remember nexelerin changing vanilla ship stats.

What the hell misinformation is this

Think you mean Arcean Order, not nex

Yes they do.

I've been having trouble with CTD when trying the Virtuous Wunder Wanzer. It's missing the "arms". Any idea why this happened? I did a completely clean install (I made entirely sure of it) when I unpacked the mods.

If it's missing limbs and has 0 OP, sounds like you have the destroyed version. You need to restore it.
