Quoted from gandamack:Been reading through the posts. Got in on the upcoming May run. Really excited. I will add the cosmetic mods eventually, but was wondering if somebody can tell me the must have mods which benefit preservation of the playfield, i.e protection mods.
Thanks
There's two that have greatly affected gameplay for me.
1. You'll eventually get the dreadful issue with ball launch. Auto and/or manual. It'll have issues making the main orbit. There could be multiple causes but what ended up being my issue was that the area at the beginning of the lane slightly chipped away and would cause a partially wobbly path upon exit. When I added a metal lane protector, it almost completely fixed my problem.
2. There's a metal protector at the very back where the ball drops after hitting the pharaoh ramp. It's supposed to protect the play field but ends up getting wrapped from all the ball lands relatively quickly. The warp causes some issues when you normally pass that orbit shit, and even at times gets stuck there till you change the game. Changed it to a carbon fiber piece and been super smooth since.
Both of those I got from cliffy. I got some other stuff as well for the play field, but feel like the two mentioned were my most impactful. Think I use most of his kit except for the lane switch protectors
