I’m considering doing a DUST playthrough while waiting for the frontier. Any ideas to what mods work perfectly with it and also mods that are just completely broken. I’m going to start completely fresh on my mod list

Most texture and UI mods should be compatible. Most game-play and equipment mods completely break the balance of the DUST mod.

The tunneller detection fix is necessary if you want a good time. There is a Courier companion mod and settlement mod that's made specifically for DUST.

Thanks @elitelead123 I really appreciate this, I’m going to be playing this 100% blind

Select fire, allows all automatic weapons (even from mods) to be toggled between full-auto, burst fire, or single shot. Really useful with how rare ammo is in Dust. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49478

"last of us" flamer. Really great quality weapon mod, and fits thematically with Dust. Craftable too, so gives you something to work towards. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/63063
