📋 About This Mod

This mod enables fast-traveling to ANY point on the world-map - you will no longer be limited to marked, discovered locations. Pressing a hotkey will display the current world-map on your HUD, where you can select your destination. The restrictions on fast-traveling will apply here, as well: The journey will consume time; You will not be able to fast travel while over-encumbered, during combat, from indoors, and so forth. Moreover, your journey may be interrupted somewhere en route by a random encounter with enemies.


Using Fast-Travel Anywhere

[/] [](Optional) Press the Markers Hotkey ('L' by default) to show/hide map markers of selected locations, which can be used for better orientation. Note that this feature is only available for the NV/DC wasteland maps (DLC maps are small enough to not require it). [/] []Move the cursor over the map to your desired destination, then left-click/press ENTER to confirm, and you will fast-travel there.[/]

Random Encounters When fast-travelling using FTA, there is a chance that, somewhere along the road, your party will be ambushed by enemies.

  • []Calculated for every 1 mile of travel distance. For instance, if set to 30% - when travelling 1. 5 miles, the encounter chance is 45%; Setting it to 0% will effectively disable random-encounters. [/]
