📋 About This Mod

Improves vehicle handling for tighter turns, reduced aerial rolling, and reduced bounciness. Fully customizable.

One thing that bothered me while playing Planet Crafter was the sluggish vehicle handling. It has always felt like I was driving a tank. So, I decided to learn how to make a basic mod for the game and this is what I ended up with! I am quite happy with the way it turned out, but if anybody can suggest an improvement, please let me know. I made this for my own play through, so the changes are fairly modest - I did not want to drastically change the way the game played by making it feel like I was driving a sports car.

Better Vehicle Handling changes:

  • []Increases vehicle maximum steering angle from 45° to 75°

    []Increased vehicle handling parameter by about 25%. This affects your ability to take turns while moving

    []Improves the vehicle's resistance to rolling by about 30%. I was tired of mashing F4 every 60 seconds

    []Reduced the amount the vehicle will bounce while driving over small bumps. This makes it feel less like you're driving on a trampoline

  • Increased the vehicle's maximum reverse speed by 33%

    Additionally, the mod's parameters can be manually configured to your liking by editing the BetterVehicleHandling.cfg file in the "config" folder in BepInEx's root directory. I added a parameter to the config for "Forward Speed Multiplier" - by default this is set to 1 (no change), but if you would like to turn your vehicle into a cheetah on wheels, you have the power!

    To install this plugin, simply extract the BetterVehicleHandling folder into your BepInEx folder. For help with getting Planet Crafter set up to run mods, please see https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3228940984
