📋 About This Mod
Increased Ship Transfer Distance
When on a planet or in a city, you may have noticed you can transfer items between your inventory and ship within a distance of 250m.
This simple game settings tweak increases that distance to 2500m.
Feel free to adjust this to whatever value you like!
Installation
This mod comes with one main file and an optional file, the StarfieldCustom.ini
Move the content of the main file, ShipTransferDistance.txt into your starfield game directory.
Example: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield
Then simply add the following to your StarfieldCustom.ini:
sStartingConsoleCommand\=bat ShipTransferDistance;
Don't include the \ here.
If you are already using a mod that tweaks multiple game settings then follow this process:
Combine the content of the .txt files into one file like this:
Update the StarfieldCustom.ini to simply run the combined bat:
StarfieldCustom.ini
The optional file includes the custom ini file if you do not already have one.
This file goes into your Starfield documents folder.
Example: Documents\My Games\Starfield
Removal
Simply delete the .txt file from your game directory and remove the provided lines from StarfieldCustom.ini
