📋 About This Mod

This is a simple but powerful mod that lets you tweak most speed and movement aspects for ships. I don't know what half the variables do, and I haven't even built a raft yet, but this was by request, so here you go:

"ForceDistanceMult", "Force Distance Multiplier"

"ForceMult", "Force Multiplier"

"DampingMult", "Damping Multiplier"

"DampingSidewayMult", "Damping Sideway Multiplier"

"DampingForwardMult", "Damping Forward Multiplier"

"AngularDampingMult", "Angular Damping Multiplier"

"DisableLevelMult", "Disable Level Multiplier"

"SailForceFactorMult", "Sail Force Factor Multiplier"

"RudderSpeedMult", "Rudder Speed Multiplier"

"StearForceOffsetMult", "Steer Force Offset Multiplier"

"StearForceMult", "Steer Force Multiplier"

"StearVelForceFactorMult", "Steer Vel Force Factor Multiplier"

"BackwardForceMult", "Backward Force Multiplier" - this affects the actual rudder speed, I think

"RudderRotationMaxMult", "Rudder Rotation Max Multiplier"

"RudderRotationSpeedMult", "Rudder Rotation Speed Multiplier"

"MinWaterImpactForceMult", "Min Water Impact Force Multiplier"

"MinWaterImpactIntervalMult", "Min Water Impact Interval Multiplier"

"WaterImpactDamageMult", "Water Impact Damage Multiplier"

"UpsideDownDmgIntervalMult", "Upside Down Dmg Interval Multiplier"

"UpsideDownDmgMult", "Upside Down Dmg Multiplier"

After some testing, I've added some more variables:

"HeadWindDegrees", "Degree difference between heading and wind origin to call headwind"

"WindAngleFactorMin", "Wind Angle Factor Minimum"

"WindAngleFactorMult", "Wind Angle Factor Multiplier"

"TailWindMult", "Tail Wind Multiplier"

"DamageMult", "All Damage Multiplier"

The wind angle factor is how much the wind will propel you forward, and it changes of course depending on how far into the wind you are turned. It goes to 0 normally and stops the ship when you head too far up wind. Set the WindAngleFactorMin to something like 0. 5 and you should see better ability to turn into the wind.

To change the multipliers, edit the file BepInEx/config/aedenthorn. ShipSpeed.cfg (created after running the game once with this mod) using a text editor.

You can adjust the config values in-game using the Config Manager.

Technical

To install this mod, the easiest way is to just use Vortex, the Nexus Mods mod manager. It should take care of all dependencies.

To install manually, place the dll file in the BepInEx/plugins folder. You will need BepInEx.
