📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes various aspects ofspaceship atmosphere flight and surface exploration.
What this mod does:
- Increases the range at which you can access your ships inventory, tech, etc -
(increases the range by 6x from 50u to 300u)
- Improves ship scanner range, speed, cooldown and functionality -
( by default doubles scan range, reduces recharge timer from 10 to 3 seconds, increases the range at which icons pop up,
increases the number of maximum possible buildings scanned by 1 and speeds up the scan pulse by 25%)
- Reduces ship launch fuel consumption -
(Reduces ship launch fuel consumption from 25% to 5% per launch)
- Allows you to use your spaceship to hover in place inside a planets atmosphere, just like in space
- Fly much faster while exploring the planets surface -
(roughly doubles the speed at which you can fly inside a planets atmosphere)
- Improves planetary spaceship flight handling and braking -
Be aware that the game's engine/physics may glitch when your ship is moving too fast. This is sadly nothing I can change and related to how the game physics handles these speeds. I might release a version with slower ships in the future to prevent these glitches.
There is also a lite version available for those that only want the speed, hover and handling changed.
