Radfall Dev Blog
LitR 7.0 has been out for a while now, and is relatively stable. I don't have any large plans for integrating new content into the list, and my two goals for the year are to 1) generally slow down on development a bit and actually play the list, and 2) focus more on Radfall than the base list. Radfall is generall in a pretty good state currently. I'm happy with the full release, however there are a few minor issues I've had on my todo...

Radfall - Tips and Tricks
Combat and HealingIn Radfall, the player has a lot more health, and combat should not generally feel super lethal. Horizon players should be familiar with this strategic resource-based rather than tactical balance approach. The sweet spot Radfall tries to hit is that you can get through most encounters without dying, but you do have to use healing resources, and you need to prepare for difficult encounters. This is specifically to fix the tactica...
Pre-release 7.0.4

Dev Blog: LitR 3rd Anniversary
Happy New Year Everyone! And happy 3rd birthday to Life in the Ruins!It's been a pretty crazy year, kicked off by the launch of the Fallout TV show, which lead to the busiest month I've ever had running support for the list, and lead to some major changes, including the removal of SS2, and changes from Nexus that lead to the creation of Radfall. While the year's seen a LOT of changes for the list, I think it's generally been for t...
LitR 7.0.3 Prerelease 1
So far, this is shaping up to be an update to integrate a few things that have been on my todo list for a long time. The big ticket item here was the regeneration of LOD with the FOLIP update.For testing, the main thing I'm looking for feedback on is that the LOD isn't screwed up anywhere.Radfall users can use this with the 7.0.2 radfall. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dExqTJdCwXXA0iFc--LSwXxkJ5CBUrrr/view?usp=drive_link- Added* Facial ...
Modified LitR - Removing A Forest / Generating LOD
The primary thing you need to do if you're removing A Forest from the list is to regenerate LOD. If you're already familiar with LOD generation for Skyrim, the process is similar, however this is a detailed process, with a lot of steps to follow, that can be a bit finicky.If you're removing A Forest, you may also want to disable the "LitR Green Landscape Textures" and the "Lush But Not Green" DC and Goodneighbor mods.T...

LitR Prerelease 7.0.2
I've finally got an updated pre-release for 7.0.2. The only major change compared the the prior prerelease (other than bugfixes), is the inclusion of Art of War. I think I've solved all the known issues, and baring any major issues, I'd like to push this to a full release in a week or two.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dExqTJdCwXXA0iFc--LSwXxkJ5CBUrrr/view?usp=drive_linkChangelog6 new weapon mods. 8 new power armor mods. 6 new locat...

Radfall Load Order Patcher
The Radfall load order patcher is a scripted fo4edit patcher.To install the script, download the file, unzip it, and paste the contents into fo4edit/edit scripts folder.To run the script, load your entire load order in FO4edit (without the sorting patch, if you're using M8rs Complex Sorter), and run the WTF - Radfall script. The script is reasonably user friendly if you're at least comfortable using xedit. Feel free to ask for help in the...

LitR 7.0.2 Beta-1
6 new weapon mods. 8 new power armor mods. 6 new location mods. And America Rising 2.This is a beta- I've not done any testing on this beyond making sure it loads in game yet, and this is a big update. I'm looking for feedback on balance of the new content, and of course on any bugs. Especially on the quest start for America Rising 2 - I'm strongly tempted to level lock the start of that to level 10, or quest lock it to after killing ...
DevBlog - Teaser for the next pre-release
The next LitR update is shaping up to be quite a significant one in terms of new content. I expect once this is out it will need quite a long pre-release period for testing. I'm hoping to have a prerelease out in the next couple weeks. Right now, I'm investing quite a lot of time into improving the scripted patching tools I use to simplify my workflow. It's going well, and I'll have more to share soon.
Modified LitR - Adding Settlement Mods
Adding new Settlement mods to LitR isn't hard, but there are a few pitfalls to watch out for if you're going to do it.The first is Previsibines. A lot of modern settlement mods include regenerated Previs, and that's going to potentially conflict with the other previs mods in the list. Most mods will say on the nexus page whether they include new previs/precombines- if they do you should open it up in fo4edit and check for conflicts ag...
Radfall for v 7.0.1 (beta)
This is updated for the LitR 7.0.1 full release.I'm considering this a release candidate. All the major features are complete, at this point it just needs it's tires kicked to make sure there aren't any bugs I've missed.The only real changes compared to beta 2, are around Power Armor. Repair, mostly carrying over T60 and X01 changes from LitR into the patches.Update: Fixed an issue where vendor lists weren't being filtered pro...
DevBlog - LitR 7.0.1
So it's been a busy few weeks of development. LitR 7.0.1 came out this morning, including a handful of bugfixes and cleanup with the goal of getting the list into a relatively stable state. It is my genuine hope that with this release is that development on the list slows down, and lets me focus on other things for a while. I know, I've said that before...With LitR hopefully being in a relatively stable state, one of the things I want to ...
Radfall - User Requested Patches
Here is a selection of User Requested Patches, that I a) have had time to make, and b) think more people might want. If you want to try a patch, feel free to suggest it over in the discord. If it's something small, I might do it. However I don't really have the time to patch this against entire other load orders or huge overhauls (but I'm happy to help you do it).Radfall - Reenable Survival DiseasesI think that the survival disease sy...
Radfall - Recommended Non-LitR Survival Configurations
Life in the Ruins ships with a handful of settings that tweak elements of Survival. If you want to use Radfall outside of LitR, I recommend making these, however they are fully optional.Damage And Loot RarityWithin LitR, these are both handled by Lunar Fallout Overhaul. If you're not running it, you will probably want another mod to handle combat balance, and loot rarity, as Radfall doesn't touch either of those things.Survival Configurat...
Modified LitR - FaceGen
LitR includes XCell, along with face-generation by VEFS. If you've added mods, and NPCs in those mods are missing heads, this is an indication that they need facegen data. This can be generated pretty easily with VEFS- The tool itself is actually dead simple to use, but the fact that we're 1) using a stock game folder, and 2) using a downgraded FO4 both make setting things up an annoying process.Installing Creation Kit into LitRThe easies...
Radfall - Beta 2
Here's an update on the Radfall Beta, built against the 7.0.1 prerelease.I'm still working through PA balance, I think I've got it more or less where I want it with the changes in LitR 7.0.1, and what Radfall does on top of that. The T60 should be brotherhood specific, the X01 is unique and hand-placed in the world, and both decrease fusion core drain pretty extensively (although I've nerfed their armor pretty heavily).Repair perk...
Pre-release 7.0.1
A couple updates, and a few tweaks to Power Armor progression. T60 is now BoS only, and the X01 is a single unique suit scattered actoss the commonwealth. Both are easier to repair and have reduced core drain- the idea is that instead of just having higher defenses, they're improvements in efficiency compared to the T45 and T51 respectively.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dExqTJdCwXXA0iFc--LSwXxkJ5CBUrrr/view?usp=drive_link- Added* Lunar Alt...
What Is Radfall?
A massive overhauled and finely tuned Fallout 4 experience. It is designed to rebalance the game with the goal of making the game less of a sandbox power fantasy, and turning FO4 into an actual survival game, without turning it into a grindy simulator you need a spreadsheet to keep track of everything. Instead of just adding more "survival" mechanics, it slims down and rebalances the existing vanilla game, to make it so surviving the post...
Radfall - Beta Testing - 1
As mentioned in my previous Dev Blog, I've decided to take the main list in a more vanilla direction, and develop all-in-one solution for players wanting the kind of more niche, survival experience I've developed in v6. Radfall is that all-in-one overhaul. Radfall started as a compilation of all my survival mods: Stimpacked, Loaded Out, Barter, Degrade and Salvage, Feast and Famine, as well as my perk overhaul True Perks- so if you like t...
Modified LitR: Quests
Quest mods are potentially the most complex type of mod to add to LitR, primarily because they're basically compound mods, that can potentially include mutliple types of content that requires patching. I've already covered weapons, armor, and power armor, food and chems, and workshop settlement crafting in this series. Have a look back at the previous articles for how to patch those. You've also got PreVis to worry about, as quest mod...
Prerelease 7.0 - 2
This is an update to the pre-release, primarily focussing on cleaning up Power Armor. Compared to 6.5.2, LBPAC has come out, PATTP (which is back in compared to pr7-1) now includes the Power Armor Abandonment modules, and I've done the all lunar patching for the remaining PA mods, including adding the display for the lunar added perk requirements to PA repair.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dExqTJdCwXXA0iFc--LSwXxkJ5CBUrrr/view?usp=drive_lin...
LitR 7.0 - Alpha Prereleas
As per my previousDev Blog, this is aa extreme paring back of the list to a significantly more Vanilla+ status. Coupled with this change will be the eventual release of a new, all-in-one overhaul that will combine the major parts of my various mods, which can be run on top of LitR, or (in theory) on top of any other list.Older users may recognize this as basically an updated version of the LunarPlus profile- the basic idea is the same, let Lunar ...
