DarkStar Manufacturing is a comprehensive, extensive and balance-oriented Crafting & Upgrading system for Apparel, Armor and Weapons.
For more details, visit: https://www.wykkydgaming.com/ For support, join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/NRDUdvftVr
This mod adds:
- Apparel, Armor & Weapon Crafting.
- Enhanced Apparel, Armor & Weapons that allow Quality, Legendary, Lining (armor) and Skin (weapon) customization.
- "Vile" crafting that converts Ballistic weapons into Particle Beam weapons.
- Advanced quality tier to everything that was missing it.
- Superior quality tier to everything that was missing it, including weapons.
- Unrivaled quality tier 15 levels higher than Superior.
- Relic quality tier, 30 levels higher than Unrivaled.
- New "DarkStar Proprietary" multi-legendary weapon enchants, starting at level 10 and ending at level 130 with NG+20.
- New DarkStar Cargo Links for your Outpost
- DarkStar Manufacturing Terminal & Slate. Use the slate in inventory to open the Terminal, or visit the Lodge basement to use the Terminal attached to the wall.
- VIP mode to bypass all new DarkStar-added Research & requirements when crafting.
- New Umbral Assault armor & helmet as a reward for those who finish the research.
** Base features unlock at level 1. The strongest upgrades require level 130, and potentially up to 20 NG+ trips for the best custom Legendaries.
Yes, this mod will allow you to become Overpowered. But... you have to earn it. These upgrades are not cheap, and they are not cheats. Full unlock and having access to all upgrades and legendaries requires a lot of blood, sweat and tears. The rewards, however, are quite real, and very worth the effort.
Everything needed to access the power of DarkStar Manufacturing is available in the Mark I spacesuit room in the basement of the Lodge. You can also build all workbenches at your outpost, or on your ship. Make sure to visit the Lodge at least once to obtain the informational slates that explain how everything works. There is also a Terminal in the same room which contains the same information in case you lose the slates.
LOAD ORDER: Place after other mods that add custom workbenches or alter crafting.

2.0.6v2.0.6 Changelog
- Fixed Spacesuit crafting. It should now have the appropriate Spacesuit Design requirement (1). -
2.0.5v2.0.5 Changelog
- Fixed Breach Mk.III. It thought it was a vanilla Breach somehow. -
2.0.4v2.0.4 Changelog
- Fixed Mark 1 Boostpack Mk.II. It now has the correct Quality assignment when constructed and can be customized.
- Added: DarkStar Cargo Link. Buildable at outpost with 2-click build, 100k Inbound/Outbound storage capacity, and some artistic clutter. Also links to a 10k Cargo Ship, to transfer more goods at once.
- Added: DarkStar Cargo Link - Intersystem. Buildable at outpost with 2-click build, 100k Inbound/Outbound storage capacity, and some artistic clutter. Also links to a 10k Cargo Ship, to transfer more goods at once. -
2.0.3v2.0.3 Changelog
- Added FULL NAME value to EquiNOX EM skin. This skin only appears in the base game during the Vanguard questline, during the Eyewitness quest. The absence of this name was causing a CTD whenever the EquiNOX spawned during the quest. It's worth noting, an Orion can also spawn for that stage of the quest, and the Orion was NOT causing a CTD. Special thanks to Blade & DuDe from Discord for sharing their saves to help us track this down. -
2.0.2v2.0.2 Changelog
- Removed Hard Edits to Lodge Basement & Repositioned all DarkStar Manufacturing components. This should hopefully alleviate texture loss for those who might have experienced it. This was not a bug I, or my testing team, could re-create. However, we decided that a re-approach could potentially benefit some players. YOU WILL NEED TO RESET THE LODGE. To do this, go rest on Venus for 48 hours (4800 UT hours), just to be safe.
- Renamed several base-game Tools used as components in DarkStar research. This should make them easier to identify.
- Fixed bug in Barrow Knife Mk.II Quality scaling. You should re-mod your Mk.II Barrow Knife to make sure the damage calculations are up to date.
- Fixed bug in Combat Knife (base game) Quality Scaling above Advanced. They were errantly applying 4 copies of Advanced rather than adding Superior, Unrivaled and Relic. Existing base-game Combat Knives will continue to have this issue, as their quality cannot be crafted. However, converting them to Mk.II will fix their damage and increase it. Also, any new Combat Knives dropped in your game will be correct.
- Someone reported a bug with Mk.III weapons "losing range" when converted from Mk.II. This was researched, and verified to not be a bug. Ballistic Weapon skill rank 4 provides 30% increased range. Particle Beam weapons, instead, give 5% bonus critical. So, when you convert a Ballistic into a Particle Beam weapon with max skills, you should expect a drop in weapon range, as the skills you are using to wield that weapon change accordingly. -
2.0.1v2.0.1 Changelog
- Reduced UI spam on Legendary research unlocks.
- Swapped Ranger Dualwear and Deputy Mk.II upgrades to the correct apparel.
- Swapped UC Navy Fatigues and Armored Fatigues Mk.II upgrades to the correct apparel.
- Fixed Legendary Scout III breaking weapon mods.
- Fixed Legendary Envoy III breaking weapon mods.
- Fixed Legendary Agent III breaking weapon mods.
- Changed projectile animation flag for Magstorm Mk.III.
- Updated description when crafting Force Recon II Legendary to be less confusing. -
