Could you add this to Nexus for Skyrim Special Edition please?

Bug: If you have multiple Soulstace's and each has the same type of soul inside(grand etc..) the Soulstaces can 'Stack'. If they do only 1 Soulstace will have a soul inside the others are empty.

I have 5 Soulstaces. Full top tier Soulstaces. I went bandit hunting and filled all 5 with grand souls. Came home to enchant some new gear and noticed they were stacking. Then I enchanted 1 bow and noticed the other 4 were stacked as empty Soulstaces. The one I used for enchanting was by itself, now empty also. But did not join the stack of 4 empty Soulstaces.

Please update for SE. Thank you.

is there a special way you absorb souls into the seeds. whenever I use a soultrap weapon on one of the unfortunate town guards it says i don't have a large enough soulgem and it stays a seed
Rifdar 5 May, 2015 @ 3:57am 
@jakkin i don't know if that's possible due to the way the game works with enchanting. I know next to nothing about modding the game, but if it is possible it looks like it would be really hard to do because you would have to figure out a way to be able to select the sould you want to use from that single item.

Never mind Mate. I found this on Nexus. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/42183/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D42183%26preview%3D&pUp=1 it explains how to make a steam mod usable in Nexus Mod Manager.
Truthowl 9 Jan, 2015 @ 2:42am 
I would like you to consider adding this to Nexus's Skyrim section. I prefer to use Nexus's mod manager to add and remove mods. Really, this mod sounds fantastic.
jakkin 8 Jan, 2015 @ 11:53am 
how about making one reusable soulgem that holds all of our souls we gather instead of having to carry tons of soul gems. just have one that gathers all the souls into one reusable soul gem that has a number count on the soulgem that goes up with the more souls you gather and goes down when you use it to either recharge or to use for enchanting purposes?

fragments not shards
shards refer to a quest item

holy crap this mod is amazing!

Hello,mod creator.I don't know if i should put this somewhere else,but i would like to report a bug(if this is a part of the mod,or part of skyrim,but its stupid).I picked up some sort of crafting thing from your mod,and i reconized it as the other things you can use for making a seed.Then i used pocket workstation(a mod that lets me use crafting places anywhere) and then saw that it stacked 2 of them together,so i could'nt craft it.Can you fix this?
Nasty Ned 28 Aug, 2014 @ 9:14am 
Sounds like a pretty cool mod. I like the idea of unlimited enchantment recharges, but having to work for it.
Winlin 18 Jul, 2014 @ 7:45pm 
OOPS drop all but one then get a black soul, pick up another one and get another black soul, repeat till all full
Winlin 18 Jul, 2014 @ 4:37am 
the stacking bug is sort of over comeable. if you drop them all and go get a black soul then go pick one up and get another black soul and do that till they are all full, they become separate again for a while; I'm unsure what triggers them to stack.
The Nameless 8 Jul, 2014 @ 8:08pm 
PS, don't worry, any changes I make are purely for my own use; this is your mod, and I would not upload a tweak of somebody else's mod.
The Nameless 8 Jul, 2014 @ 8:06pm 
I have a couple of things to say. First, chardogan's bug also occurs when you use console commands to give yourself multiple Stars (Black or Azura's either one). I opened up Creation Kit and discovered that you have simply cloned Azura's Star for the Soulstace entry, which probably resulted in cloning the bug as well. I suggest cloning a Grand Soulgem instead and simply modifying it the way you've modified earlier tiers to make it reusable and able to hold black souls. I'd do that myself but I can't figure out how to make it reusable, which you've clearly done. Kudos.

Also, how do I edit crafting? I want to change the recipe for the seed to empty petty soulgem, filled common soulgem, Daedra heart. I feel that's more relevant than somehow making it out of spell tomes.
chardogan 6 Jul, 2014 @ 5:23pm 
It is a great mod, but there is one bug that I have found. I made several soulstaces and sometimes they become a stackable item but only respond as a single soul gem; meaning you can have 30 of them but they would only hold one soul if they are in a stack.
OculusApertum 21 Apr, 2014 @ 5:16pm 
hi there! this looks like a great mod, but i use ModOrganizer, and thus cannot use steam workshop... any chance you'd be willing to upload this to the nexus?

if so, u'll earn an instant endorse from me, for sure, lol...

thanks for the mod!
Torkkar 8 Apr, 2014 @ 3:11pm 
Hate to say this guys BUT this mod brakes Cannon its essentialy an Asura's Star but crafted by mortals MAYBE if you got the black asura's star and lerned how to make these that way but while encurring Asura's wrath and going insane (basicly a debuff that makes you halucinate random mods attacking you) then I could see this being real.

Now if you want this to be cannon make it to where you get Azura's Prison after getting an azura's star (Pure) which absorbs limitless souls (similar to your dragon soul counter) and allows you to use them by forming a soul gem by placeing and useing the Prison with a normal jewel type gem.
Crumpet the Great and Powerful 4 Mar, 2014 @ 4:01pm 
@Liger I thought Humans/Humanoids had black souls.
Azuli-Bluespots 1 Mar, 2014 @ 4:13pm 
You need to kill anything with grand souls to evolve them. Can be humans or mammoths.
Draughir 21 Feb, 2014 @ 6:48pm 
I love this mod! One of the handiest mods for an enchanter to have imo
MGdragon13 15 Sep, 2013 @ 6:08pm 
Looks good! Thank you for the mod.
Croneman 10 Aug, 2013 @ 7:08pm 
@belgarion you have to kill humans to upgrade it btw found this out myself
Azuli-Bluespots 2 Aug, 2013 @ 6:32am 
i hope this will work with a certain plugin i want to use. I'll let you know how it goes later on. still trying to activate the download.
belgarion 10 Jul, 2013 @ 3:43pm 
I CAN NOT UPGRADE THE SEED AT ALL
BytchCakes 23 Jun, 2013 @ 11:43am 
I like this so far, a couple of issues, but its good. It's the same as the Star, except you can have more than one. Once it evolves, you can reuse it much like either the White or Black Stars.
vinnit96 22 Jun, 2013 @ 2:43pm 
а мне норм
weetru 22 Jun, 2013 @ 11:21am 
its pretty much azuza's star........
J-ome 22 Jun, 2013 @ 4:33am 
My soulstace seed evolved into a soulstace but I can't actualy use it.
Blue Meanies 21 Jun, 2013 @ 11:47pm 
basically though, just do the black star mission and you get one of these, kinda dont see the point in this mod
Starlight 21 Jun, 2013 @ 2:59pm 
please some easy info about what it exactly does in easy english
DA3monking 19 Jun, 2013 @ 2:41pm 
kill bandits, they give black souls as well how i got like six of the soulstace in less than 30 min
Scourge of Taco Bell 18 Jun, 2013 @ 11:33am 
are you going to add a leveling system?like:
10 petty souls=upgrade
8 lesser souls=upgrade
6 common souls=upgrade
4 greater souls=upgrade
I think this is good because grand souls are hard to come by.
+you dont want to kill townsfolk for black souls
Granger 17 Jun, 2013 @ 10:39am 
Confirmed: This mod did NOT cause the conflict with absorbing souls. I re-enabled it and I was still able to absorb souls. What appears to have caused it was a script from another mod that was pretty much disabling other game scripts at random.
[  [author] 16 Jun, 2013 @ 4:44pm 
This mod doesn't effect dragons or soul absorbsion in any way. It only adds a few modified soul gem items into the game nothing more. I don't know why it would make it so you couldn't absorb dragon souls, are you using a soul trap weapon or have other mods that effect how souls work? I haven't run into this problem on my characters yet and haven't heard anything about it, if you'd like test it out some more and let me know if the issue continues.
Granger 16 Jun, 2013 @ 4:32am 
Not sure why, but after I installed this mod (placed at the end of the load list) I was unable to absorb dragon souls. I disabled the mod and I was able to absorb them again. This used to be a common problem with dragonborn and the skyrim unofficial patch (which was later fixed). Does your mod somehow conflict with the dragon soul absorbing process or is this coincidience?
[  [author] 15 Jun, 2013 @ 4:32pm 
Alright sounds good thanks for the info :)
DA3monking 15 Jun, 2013 @ 11:40am 
it does, but since i kill a lot of bandits, it is ok, makes leveling the gems prety eay though, just kill like five bandits and the fill with a grand soul
[  [author] 14 Jun, 2013 @ 1:31pm 
They shouldn't conflict because this mod adds new items into the game and I imagine Acuisitive Soul Gems alters pre-existing soul gems but I don't think they'd merge to where Soulstaces wouldn't absorb any soul less than grand. Souls absorbed by Soulstaces that don't fill them can be used without destroying the Soulstace so ASG wouldn't be needed for Soulstaces. You're free to test it out thought as I play the vanilla version of Skyrim.
DA3monking 14 Jun, 2013 @ 6:14am 
will this work with the Acquisitive Soul Gems mod?
MrMeows 11 Jun, 2013 @ 9:35pm 
Oh, it doesn't get used up, but it consumes large souls in order to grow itself, but it does not grow from small souls. I think I understand now.
[  [author] 11 Jun, 2013 @ 9:05pm 
Thanks for the feedback and heads up about them being used up when absorbing souls less than grand. Now when they absorb a soul less than grand it can be used up for recharging/enchanting without destroying the Soulstace. Any grand/black soul absorbed by a Soulstace less than tier 7 is automaticly consumed to increase the Soulstaces tier.
MrMeows 11 Jun, 2013 @ 6:48pm 
So, lemme get this straight:
1. Make soulstace seed.
2. Trap soul in soulstace.
3. Enchant using soulstace.
4. Soulstace
a. is used up like a normal soul gem.
b. grows.
with b increasing in chance with each tier.
5. Repeat steps 2-4.
ZeroSixThree 11 Jun, 2013 @ 6:25pm 
I'm not sure if this is intended, but if you put a soul inside one of the seeds/trees/bushes that's less than a grand soul, it acts as a normal soul gem, instead of upgrading.
[  [author] 11 Jun, 2013 @ 11:14am 
Every tier of Soulstace takes black souls, It's too hungry to refuse!
ZeroSixThree 11 Jun, 2013 @ 10:12am 
Does the fully upgraded Soulstace take black souls?
The Warmaster 11 Jun, 2013 @ 4:46am 
a great and unique Idea. Very helpful for leveling enchanting as well
