Overview:
Caleston Restored is a mod that aims to restore the long, lost planet of Caleston that was cut during development back in 2006. Therum replaced it and was barebones in comparison to what they originally planned. It was meant to be similar in length to Feros and Noveria and included its own story, characters, and consequences. The story, along with plot states have been fully datamined in the files and what has allowed the restoration to begin.
Due to the complexity of the content that needs to be restored, the mod has been split into content releases that will include items based on what phase the story is in. This first release will include the hub, characters, and a few key scenes while the refinery, bore, and additions to the conversations will be in the next update.
Each character does not have a voice yet as of release 0.7. As each update comes out, there will be new cutscenes, updates to existing content, and level changes if need be. While this is an "Alpha", it is fully playable from start to finish and is only like that due to all of the mod's content not being finished yet.

No compatibility issues at this time. A patch for Alliance Uniform Consistency is included.

New Content as of v0.7:
Spoiler:
Show
- A new cutscene in the Seventh Moon/Caleston Bar
- All of the main NPCs are placed in Throw Down, alas with their entire dialogue.
- 4 New Areas Available to Explore - Tunnels, Plaza, Bar, and Garage. The Refinery and Bore will be in the next update.
- Basic conversations are available, the audio and facefx is not done for every line at this time.
- A new system, Caleston Rift, is available after following the new Find Liara storyline.
Updates to Basegame Content:
Spoiler:
Show
- The Therum/Caleston skybox has been updated to a new color
- During the Armature drop scene, the Geth Troopers no longer hold invisible guns
- The Geth dropship during the Armature drop scene has been updated to be an actual geth ship instead of a gun
- The quest steps to find Liara T'Soni has been updated
- Fixed an issue where you would get experience upon save reload in the mines
- Fixed an issue where the elevator up to Liara was missing target strings
- A new tunnel has been added to the beginning of current Therum to connect Throw Down and The Ring of Fire
- Armatures and Hoppers are correctly marked as "seen" in the save file. This means the Feros introduction scenes will be skipped as intended because Bioware didn't account for the introductions.
Currently Known "Issues":
Spoiler:
Show
- The areamap does not work for Caleston. The areamaps in ME1 are in scaleform, which is out of my skill range at the moment. The radar will still work throughout the levels.
- Pathfinding for Squadmates might be wonky sometimes. I have tried my best to add as many paths, but due to a limited toolset I can't do it perfectly like Bioware did. If anything, call them to you and the issue is resolved.
Credits:
- Zeb - For letting me use her amazing outfit for Adminstrator Tombiri.
- Loadingue - For being the mastermind behind the mod, without you none of this would be known or even exist. You are the prime reason Caleston Restored is a thing and we all should bow down for all the time you spent on translating and putting it together.
- Audemus - For creating the amazing sky, helping me with lighting, and giving general feedback on things I am not too good at. You brought the bar vision to life and I am glad that it all came how it was planned. Glad we can beat LE1 when we work together.
- Sil - General feedback, helping me create some of the text strings since my writing is horrible. Appreciate all the work by you and everyone else.
- naNuke - Creating the amazing bar signs and helping me with meshes that I needed updated for Caleston. This includes a new helmet which you will see in a future update. You are the sore reason the bar is how it is and I am thankful for the time spent.
- Saki Kaskas - For his amazing track "Rainman". Rest in Peace.
- Mistyvail - Open permissions for her great mods.
