📋 About This Mod
Consistent Travel Time
Changes the travel time to a planet to be consistent in all situations.
2. 0 adds Jump Distance support.
Spoiler
There is an inconsistency in the travel times to systems. If you do not want to know about it, skip this mod. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. I've said too much. It may be too late for you.
Battletech Travel Times
Vanilla Battletech has two different times to travel to a planet:
When ending a navigation, the time to the planet is the "Jump Distance", which is anywhere from 1 to 16 days.
When aborting a jump and traveling to the system, the time to planet is the "Planet Cost", which is generally 3 days.
This mod changes the travel time to the planet to always use either the Planet Cost or Jump Distance. The default setting is Planet Cost. This mod does not affect the time required to travel from the planet to the jump ship, which is always Jump Distance.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| UseLowerAmount | true | For PlanetCost strategy only. If false, will always use the |
| | | planet's travel cost (3 days). Otherwise, will use the |
| | | lower of the travel cost and jump distance. |
| | | |
| PlanetTravelStrategy | PlanetCost | Determines how many days it will take to travel to a planet. |
| | | Can be `PlanetCost` or `JumpDistance`. See the (#planet-travel-strategy-settings) |
| | | section. |
Planet Travel Strategy Settings
| Strategy | Description |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| PlanetCost | Will be the same time as canceling navigation and going |
| | directly to the planet. Generally 3 days. |
| | |
| JumpDistance | Will be the Jump Distance, which is the same time as |
| | navigating directly to the planet without canceling. |
