DynamicEuropa

What it is

A campaign-mode world overhaul by hUbert / _]|M|[_ / MasonMachineGuns. Official wiki: dynamiceuropa.wiki.gg.

Load position

The very bottom of the list (everything else loads above it).

Hard rules

Requires a fresh campaign on first install and must never be removed from an ongoing campaign — doing so kills the map. Locations only update behind the sub, not ahead.

Bundled

Integrates Pirates Ahoy! content and a subset of Hungry Europans food/drinks.

🌏The location system — 7 outpost families

Regular outposts come in 7 families, each split into tiers. The family decides which services exist; higher tiers add more (missions, stores, NPCs, crew-for-hire, sub upgrades). Not every outpost offers every service — a clinic has no hire/store/upgrades — so plan routes.

Other notes: Construction Sites & Surveys are special outposts that can't be reactor-destroyed (flood them 50% instead). Outposts can come under monster attack, and an outpost exposed to Jovian radiation for ~10 rounds becomes an Abandoned Outpost. Job boards only offer a job ~20% of the time (tunable with the cheat-spawned DE-Configurator).

Faction-specific & special locations

• Pirate Outposts / Havens (Bandits faction) — trade stolen goods + illegal missions. Enter by paying a toll, negotiating, or forcing in. >20 Coalition rep raises the toll; >60 makes them hostile.
• Church of Husk / Husk Temples — advanced medical + research; gateway to the "Way to Ascension" questline.
• The Sinking Circus — a wandering balloon vessel; cheap clown supplies and the "Ultimate Jest" questline. Only one exists at a time.

⚔Outpost takeovers

💥Outpost destruction

1. Bring explosives (detonator, grenades).
2. Kill every NPC at the station.
3. Blow up the reactor.
4. With every NPC dead and the reactor destroyed, the station is marked destroyed.
5. Exception: Construction Sites & Surveys can't be reactor-destroyed — flood them to ≥50% instead.

🐛Monster lairs, feeding grounds & husk swarms

• Monster Lairs — monsters nest and spread to nearby locations. Clear a lair to make the area habitable.
• Feeding Grounds — locations next to a lair with elevated activity; they block outposts from settling there until cleared. Military outposts can deploy forces to clear ordinary lairs.
• Husked Grounds — a husk-infested lair variant that spawns husk swarms patrolling nearby Natural Formations. The military WON'T clear these (infection risk) — players must destroy husked grounds themselves to stop the swarms.

☠Pirates Ahoy! (integrated)

Three signature mission types, all with stronger-hulled, bigger-crewed pirate vessels and ~double the payout of vanilla pirate missions:

• Heavy Pirate Vessel — reinforced-hull ship to hunt and clear.
• Strange Pirate Vessel — creates an anomaly to defend itself; keep your distance.
• Raving Vessel — drunken pirates blasting music that drags monsters toward you; you can detach and install their music player on your sub.

There are 11 collectible music CDs (40s–2:30 mono loops). Pirate outposts work like habitation outposts with city-tier + pirate goods. Signature vessel: the Warden.

🍽Hungry Europans integration

DynamicEuropa bundles a small subset of Hungry Europans foods/drinks for flavour. For the full experience — butchering, cooking, hunger/thirst, the Chef job — install the full Hungry Europans mod and place it ABOVE DynamicEuropa. Full HE adds a Meat Cleaver (butcher any corpse, incl. husks; husk meat makes husks neutral to you), ingredient-buff meals, optional Hunger/Thirst and NEEDS systems, alcohol/gardening reworks, and kitchen stations. Note: Performance Fix can distort food/thirst values; Neurotrauma needs a patch.

⚑Practical campaign tips

• Start fresh; never uninstall mid-campaign.
• Plan routes around services — clinics, shipyards/military and hydroponics don't all overlap.
• Job boards fire only ~20% of the time — don't rely on one board for income.
• For takeovers: clear the first Sergeant mission to unlock the radio; keep enemy rep ≤ −30; be ready to melee-finish defenders.
• Husked grounds are a player problem — the military won't help.
• Run Performance Fix in big cities/husk biomes — many players consider it essential for DE framerates.

⚠Incompatibilities & load order

DE overrides a lot. Without a patch, expect conflicts with mods that add missions, modify/add factions, add hireable characters, or edit the map/biomes. Compatibility-patch collection: id 3440594332.

Wreck & beacon mods are "generally always compatible." Mods with custom traders are usually NOT compatible (placed below DE you may keep the mod minus its trader).
