Faster Returns

WARNING: MOD COMPATIBILITY

Faster Returns is stable when used on its own. Compatibility is not guaranteed with other mods that modify the return desk or tape-handling workflows.

Faster Returns

Automate the return desk, rewind tapes faster, and always know how many returns are waiting.

Faster Returns automates the repetitive parts of the return desk while preserving the game's original fees, classification, XP, statistics, inventory, messages, localization, and save operations.

Features

• []Replaces the initial-screen tape icon with a live count of tapes still waiting in the drop box.[/]

  []Keeps the original checked-in, late, rewind, reserved, broken, and other result screens unobstructed.[/]

  []Moves normal and late tapes to the player's hand after vanilla processing.[/]

  []Automates the full rewind route: case opening, rewinder transfer, door closing, rewinding, extraction, return to case, and pickup.[/]

  []Reduces rewinding from

  2. 25seconds to

  0. 75second.[/]

  []Reduces door opening to

  0. 10second and closing to

  0. 15second.[/]

  []Preserves the original beginning and ending of the rewinding sound while skipping its unnecessary middle.[/]

  []Moves reserved tapes through the player's hand and into a free reserved-shelf slot automatically.[/]

  []Continues working across long mixed sequences of normal, late, reserved, and rewind-required tapes.[/]

  []Keeps every automation active after an in-place day transition.[/]

  []Restores the live waiting-tape counter automatically at the start of each new day, before the first tape is handled.[/]

  []Keeps broken tapes, employee returns, unsupported conditions, unsafe hand states, and full or unavailable reserved shelves in the vanilla manual workflow.[/]

      Compatibility

      • []Compatibility is not guaranteed with other mods that change the return desk or tape-handling workflows.[/]

        []The PAK overrides

        sfx_rewinder_rewinding_cue, and

        T_UI_Return_Error_D. Mods replacing those assets may conflict.[/]

        []The scanner asset is intentionally not included because overriding it can cause an undefined-opcode crash while loading a save. Scanner behavior is implemented through UE4SS hooks.[/]

        []Existing saves remain compatible; the mod does not add data to save files.[/]

        []The mod is specific to Steam build

          Version 1. 2. 2

          []Uses one permanent game-thread scheduler instead of registering delayed UE4SS callbacks during return processing.[/]

          []Keeps delayed workflow jobs in a Lua-owned queue so long return batches cannot invalidate callback references.[/]

          []Isolates scheduled jobs so one failed action cannot stop the remaining automations.[/]

          []Restores the waiting-tape counter before the first return after each in-place day transition.[/]
