Nightmare Fuel / Frackin' Universe

This mod plays off of H. P. Lovecraft. To say there's not a lot of Nightmare fuel would be lying.

Per wiki policy, Spoilers Off applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Enormous, malign and unknowable.

• Presenting one of the main Currencies: Madness! Enjoy your Sanity Slippage!
  • Madness causes random debuffs if you have over 50. One of these includes "Insanity", which at it lowest strength has random, non-sensical sentences pop up on your screen, and at its highest, random letters everywhere.
• Atropus planets. Not only there's insanity debuff but the background music is replaced by unsettling whispers and droning noise. The planet is made of flesh, and if you go insane on there, you'll start to have this eyeball talking to you saying some disturbing things and trying to encourage you to die.
  • Oh, and they have an upgraded version: Nightmare Atropus
• There are a lot of disturbing paintings. You can get them as drops... or you can paint them yourself. Carrying them gives you madness.
  • Many of these paintings are depictions of Lovecraft's horrors. This includes:
    • Dreamscape of Kadath
    • Shoggoth
    • Azatoth
    • Nyarlathotep (the painting is tilted Lord Nyarlathotep)
    • Thing in the Dark
    • Shub-Niggurath
    • The King In Yellow
• Speaking of the King in Yellow, you can get that as EPP Augment. The book. Anyone who knows about the story knows why this is terrifying
• Most of the Raw meat foods. If your playing as a Carnivore, you get a buff from eating these foods. And they're the only foods you can eat without getting sick. For context, some of these items include things named "Jarred Fetus", "A Squishy Human Eye", "Baby Head (on a stick)", and "Fleshy Meat Cookie"
  • Some foods will give you the "Self-mutilation" debuff. S.A.I.L will ask you why you just ate yourself. You can't tell what foods these are.
• Delta Freya II. All of Delta Freya II
  • Unlike a lot of other instanced missions, you can starve on this mission.
  • It starts out fairly calm, and then you get to the first real part of the mission, the research lab, covered in blood and rituals. Vinalisj starts puking around this time.
  • There are some codex's you can find in the research lab... They detail how a group of researchers are down here, having had their driller fall through ice and are stuck there. Wanger finds a corpse, saying that he can't even discern what it is, with a terrifying number of appendages. He brings it to MacReady to autopsy. Then, in another book, MacReady notes that the specimen is infectious and is changing him somehow. Despite this, he chooses not to tell the others. He later attacks the rest of the group during their breakfast, after acting strangely. Wanger mentions he's going to investigate the nearby cave.
  • So then you do come across MacReady, and this red, tentacled horror has completely covered his entire face, as you try to power the lab back up. Vinalisj suggests that he may be influenced by that thing and asks you to take him out of his misery.
