![]() Part of the challenge of starting out in a rusty sub is that you have to make the best with what you have. BaroCraftables+ Source: BaroCraftables+ (via Steam)Ĭreators: Ricky, Milord, MasonMachineGuns Because of that, you’ll need Movable and Sellable Wrecks for this mod to work. What’s even more interesting is that if you have a large sub, you can dock with these wrecks and pull them away to your next outpost destination, allowing you to repair and repurpose them or sell them for a tidy profit. New Wrecks for Barotrauma does exactly what it says on the tin: it adds over 60 different wrecks and variants to Barotrauma along with booby traps, balanced loot, and revamped Thalamus behavior to make the infested wrecks even more challenging. ![]() With salvaging being a core element of gameplay, wouldn’t it be nice to have more wrecks to explore? Apparently we weren’t the only ones asking this question. Naturally, you’ll stumble upon wrecks of these unfortunate souls, whether by chance or an active quest. Plenty of seafarers have met their end within the depths of Europa’s frigid oceans.

While I initially thought so many suits might have been a bit of overkill, BaroDrama grew on me as a tremendously useful mod, allowing players to specialize even further with suits that fit their playstyle and what they need. Made for electrical work, the EEL protects me from being shocked and gives me a readout of any damaged objects throughout the ship. ![]() It makes sense then that this mod’s all about dive suits, adding over a dozen variants with their own styles and functionality.įor instance, as a mechanic that dabbles in electrical work when I’m not soothing the machine spirits that power the fabricator as I make the 20th batch of harpoons, I prefer the EEL diving suit. I was surprised to find that BaroDrama wasn’t, in fact, solely about storytelling, but more about the important equipment to tell those stories. While it definitely makes the game more difficult, it really ups the ante for what it means to survive in an alien ocean, giving even the most veteran crews pause before determining if exploring that wreck is worth risking themselves over. Regardless of what ails you, Neurotrauma isn’t for the faint of heart. Or, if you wanna try your hand at pharmacology, you can also add a pill fabricator where you make your own medicine (no matter how loose the definition). There are also a few submods such as cybernetics that let you chrome up and turn yourself into a cyborg that requires FPGA circuits to maintain your augmentations. In Neurotrauma, it might first break your arm (making two-handed weapons like a harpoon gun unusable) and then gnaw it off as you bleed out - something I found out the hard way during my first playthrough with this mod. For example, when a crawler attacks you in vanilla, it just kinda snaps at you, eating your health bar. While this might seem geared heavily towards players who prefer the medic class, Neurotrauma also affects combat and exploration strategies as well. ![]() Neurotrauma Source: Neurotrauma (via Steam)Īre you tired of morphine and plastiseal bandages being the cure-alls for virtually every ailment, injury, and infection? Neurotrauma lets you live out your dreams as a submarine doctor by completely overhauling the health mechanics in Barotrauma.Ī few major highlights of this mod, in addition to extra medical equipment, are new symptoms to diagnose, better scanner utilization (you’ll need to diagnose by patient report or what the scanner tells you is going on under the skin), limb amputation and reattachment, organ damage, failure, and transplants, and systemic infections. PLEASE NOTE: before installing any of these, you’ll need the “ Lua for Barotrauma” mod since most (if not all) the mods on this list require it to work properly. If you’re like us and want some extra survival strategy and difficulty to your next game, these Barotrauma survival mods are our community’s top picks. While the vanilla game is enthralling all its own, we’re well-known gluttons for punishment and enjoy some extra mechanics that add layers of complexity, for better or worse in the inky deep of the Europan ocean. Despite our collective ADHD and cycling through games every few weeks, the spooky sub game is one of very few constants (even Escape From Tarkov has fallen out of favor - but maybe more on that later). Barotrauma is also one of the more popular games in Start 2 Continue’s Discord. ![]()
