📋 About This Mod
Inspired by the original Fast Build mod.
This mod applies a configurable multiplier (2x by default) to the Habitat Builder tool speed.
Anything that took 2 seconds to build now takes 1, anything that took 6 seconds now takes 3, etc.
It affects both construction and deconstruction speed.
INSTALLATION
Download with mod manager or drop the contents of the .zip file into your BepInEx\plugins folder.
CONFIGURATION
In mod options, you can set the multiplier from 0. 1 to 10, making the Builder tool slower (for some reason) or faster.
There is no need to restart the game — the change is applied instantly.
COMPATIBILITY
Should be compatible with any other mod.
A thousand thanks to essence112, eldtrichcarmaker, samuramongedev and raqzas on the Subnautica Modding Discord for helping me develop the mod!

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Simple and effective – does exactly what it says, no bloat.
- Decent community traction with 115 endorsements and 6k+ downloads.

⚠️ Cons
- No detailed description – you won't know exactly how much faster until you try it.
- Requires both BepInEx and Nautilus, which adds setup overhead.
