📋 About This Mod
Update 09/01/2025: Loot interaction fix
Version 2. 1 increases the looting interaction radius for most loot items. Partially play-tested but feedback would be appreciated. Slight chance of interacting with mods that affect loot chests (though the loot table files are unaffected, so should be fine with increased loot mods - double check for clashes on the mod manager if needed)

What does this mod do?
Files marked as increasing search radius will:
-
[]Increase search radius from 20 to 50
[
]Increase highlight duration from 6s to 12sOtherwise each pair of versions is identical.
Version 2. 1 combines all previous updates into one:
-
[]Increase the gathering radius from 3 to 20
[
]Removes all item collection animations[]Removes the requirement to target the object you want to collect (instead you can press the interact key when running past and it will pick up automatically)
[]Does not require line of sight for interaction
-
[]Plant and metal tags now show at 20 (from 8)
[
]Increase the looting radius from 2 to 10[]Loot tags now show at 10-15 (from ~6)
[]Generally - if you can see its name, you can collect it!
[]Bug fix to increase interaction radius for most corpses/carcasses and loot

[]Does not work on 100% of loot - update 2. 1 fixes most of this, but the files I need to edit aren't all in one place and I can't seem to find some of them. Feedback on which loot items are unaffected will help a lot with future bug fixes.
[]Past issues with the increased gathering perk causing a temporary speed boost - fixed but not personally playtested as I couldn't figure out how. If the issue persists in v2. 1 please report it.
- []1. 1c, 1. 1d and onwards have a bug that prevents jumping for a few seconds after gathering. I'm just sharing a mod I made for myself, and given how much time I've wasted on it I'm happy with leaving it that way for now. It's seemingly linked to the gathering radius mechanic - if you want to have a go with Frosty Editor to try and fix it please feel free to!
- Gathering still deactivates auto-run (but not manual run), I can't find a way around it. Likely hidden in some files I'm unaware of.
While I didn't use any code from them, I wanted to mention the mods that inspired this, Search radius increase and Quicker looting, since I've used them lovingly until now.
Compatibility: Should work with the updated passive search highlight as long as PSH has priority. (Only the file affecting the search animation confl
