📋 About This Mod
This mod simply displays the text pretty instantly when interacting with objects or aliens (NPCs).
If you leave the left mouse button pressed (players with keyboard/mouse, or the A button for XBOX 360 controller's users),
the text will be displayed even faster, if that's even possible.
