MODERATORS
Everyone thinks the moderation/admin features need to be improved. I'm curious which improvements people are really needing. Whenever I see big complaints about it (beehaw, lemmy.one) I never see any specifics. Link the filed Github issues for them otherwise the feature requests don't really exist, and I'd like to give them thumbs up reactions so they get prioritized more.
Once I saw Beehaw give an actual specific complaint, and it was fixed in a hotfix (v0.18.5) within a couple weeks. Of course Beehaw never updated to that version anyways.
Unrelated, but deus ex randomized sounds like a great idea. It's been so long I feel like I would have to replay the base game first.
we have a game mode called "Zero Rando" (no randomization) that's basically vanilla with QoL improvements and bug fixes
the Randomizer had so many compatibility fixes, QoL improvements, and bug fixes over the original game, this ended up being really useful for new first time players
since you've played before we also have "Zero Rando Plus" which is the same thing, but also includes the balance changes we've made for Randomizer
and we also have "Rando Lite" and "Rando Medium" to get started with the randomization stuff before going up to Normal Randomizer or Full Randomizer

How does this compare to other community patches in your opinion?
our "Zero Rando" makes way less changes to the gameplay than GMDX or Revision, which are often recommended to first time players but they're actually totally different games from the original
our "Zero Rando Plus" would be more similar in the amount of changes to them
How about Deus Ex: Transcended?
I think that was the patch I ended up using my first playthrough (I'm away from my computer at the moment or else I'd check), but I might want to use something else my second time.
Transcended seems good. I haven't played it, but it sounds like it still has changes from Revision left over in it (it was forked from Revision). Like cameras seeing bodies, pawns reacting to unconscious bodies, and dogs having the jump attack. But idk if those can be turned off. If they can be turned off then it's pretty similar to our "Zero Rando".
But we have more QoL features available that you can enable which aren't included by default in "Zero Rando". A big one being Password Autofill which isn't enabled by default in "Zero Rando" but it's huge for Steam Deck players.
We also allow selectively enabling balance changes. Like auto augs, or general aug balance changes, there's an option for skill changes, map changes. Here's some of the settings menus:
Also we're open source
I wish I remembered if my first playthrough was vanilla or not. I feel like it was. I can't remember when it was exactly but it would have been when the game was already roughly 10 years old. Late 2000s/early 2010s
