📋 About This Mod
This upgrade is added for Seamoth, Prawn, and Vehicle Framework "Submersible-type" vehicles (like the Cricket but not the Odyssey).
When piloting an upgraded vehicle, lower that vehicle down near a base or another vehicle and press the Magnet Boots Key (default: G). Then you will exit the vehicle, and it will be attached to its host. If possible, your vehicle will be recharged using the batteries from its host.
Please note: Due to issues with vehicle-on-vehicle collisions, this mod disables your vehicle's collisions for a short period. During that period, you won't be able to get back in, but you will receive a PDA notification when the vehicle is ready again. If you experience lag during this time, please decrease the "Collider Pairs Per Frame (performance)" option in the menu.
Configuration Options:
-
[]Collider Pairs Per Frame (performance): When magnet boots are used, they ask for collisions between the vehicle and its host to be ignored. This can be very expensive because some vehicles and hosts have a large number of colliders. Raising this number will make the magnet-vehicle touchable sooner. Lowering this number will reduce stutter (lag) on magnet events. Set to zero for no limit (everything happens in a single frame).
