FountainControl

What it does

- Drop limit: choose how far below the fountain it can deliver, from 0 to 10 m in 0. 1 m steps.

- Horizontal limit: choose 0 to 5 m in 0. 1 m steps, or Default to keep the game's full horizontal reach. Use this to keep a fountain feeding its own production chain.

- Remove the central exclusion: enabled by default, allowing delivery into the normally unreachable region near the fountain's centre.

- Range previews: smaller horizontal limits shrink the existing range ring. Copy, move and blueprint ghosts show each fountain's configured ring.

- Copy, move and blueprint: moving preserves limits, copying duplicates them, and saved blueprints carry them.

New fountains use 10 m drop and Default horizontal range. Distances are measured from the fountain's emission point to the receiver's catch point. With Default horizontal range, lower receivers can be reached beyond the visible ring; the ring does not describe the entire three-dimensional range.

Original and corrected range

The original fountain has an unreachable region around its vertical axis, which becomes wider for receivers farther above or below the emission point. FountainControl fills that region while retaining the original outer reach and maximum drop. The two limit sliders can restrict that range further.

The comparison uses the default limits with RemoveCenterExclusion = true. The shaded areas describe possible receiver positions; item filters and receiver acceptance still determine whether a fountain delivers to them.

Installation

Install UE4SS first. Download the standard UE4SS zip from the latest experimental release and extract it into the game's AlchemyFactory/Binaries/Win64 folder, beside AlchemyFactory-Win64-Shipping.exe. This places dwmapi.dll and the ue4ss folder there. With the tested build v3. 0. 1-1161-g6eb3d9bc, the default settings work: the engine version is detected automatically, and no custom signatures or UE4SS setting changes are needed. The official UE4SS installation guide explains the folder layout. On Linux / Proton, add

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dwmapi=n,b" %command%to the game's Steam launch options.

Once UE4SS is installed:

- Close the game and extract the FountainControl zip.

- Copy its FountainControl folder into ue4ss/Mods/. The resulting folder should contain dlls/main.dll, Scripts/, config.ini and enabled.txt, directly inside ue4ss/Mods/FountainControl/.

- Launch the game, aim at an upright fountain and press E.

Updating and uninstalling

To update, close the game and replace ue4ss/Mods/FountainControl/ with the new version. Keep a copy of config.ini and restore it afterward if you have customized it. Your per-fountain settings stay in the world's save folder.

To uninstall, close the game and remove ue4ss/Mods/FountainControl/. You can keep the FountainControl subfolders in your saves for a later reinstallation; the game ignores them and still loads normally.

Configuration

The two distance limits are set separately for each fountain in its interface. If you want to disable the central exclusion fix, open ue4ss/Mods/FountainControl/config.ini and change this setting:

RemoveCenterExclusion = falseRestart the game after changing this option. The distance sliders remain available with either value. Change it back to true to fill the centre again.

Saves and blueprints

Fountain settings are saved automatically with the next successful game save. Each world's save folder contains a FountainControl subfolder with a settings file named after each save:

SaveGames/<world>/AutoSave0.sav                 ← game save

SaveGames/<world>/FountainControl/AutoSave0.sav ← fountain settingsSteam Cloud syncs these settings files along with the game saves when cloud synchronization is enable
