📋 About This Mod

All configs are server synchronized.

Linear regeneration rate change

Makes stamina recovery rate dependent on the current value. Overall time to regenerate stamina to 100% is still almost the same.

If Multiplier value is above 1. Stamina will regenerate faster at lower values and proportionally slower at higher values.

If Multiplier value is below 1. Stamina will regenerate slower at lower values and proportionally higher at higher values.

You can set regeneration threshold aka inflection point of stamina regeneration rate. In that point regeneration rate changes its sign.

For example using default values (multiplier 3. 0, threshold 0. 5):

  • []stamina 0% - regeneration rate is 300% of normal

    []stamina 25% - regeneration rate is 150% of normal

    []stamina 50% - regeneration rate is 100% of normal

    []stamina 75% - regeneration rate is 66% of normal

    []stamina 100% - regeneration rate is 33% of normal

    Extra stamina regeneration

    Tired of late game big stamina pool regenerating rate is as low as on day 1?

    Make extra stamina points increase overall regeneration rate.

    Default config is 1% of regeneration rate per every 10 points of extra stamina (gained from any source like food, enchants, jewels or any other source of stamina increase outside of base stamina).

    You can limit the calculation of extra stamina so it takes into account stamina from food only.

    Default config of 1% regeneration rate per 10 extra points means you will have 25% stamina regeneration rate if you have 250 stamina from best stamina food combination. That way you can still use Medium stamina mead instead of Lingering stamina mead.

    Regeneration rate will be shown in the food tooltip and in the Raven menu in Status effects section.

    Encumbered stamina

    Control how much stamina is used while encumbered.

    Make stamina still regenerating but on lower rate while encumbered.

    Swimming stamina

    Control how much stamina is used while swimming.

    Make stamina still regenerating but on lower rate and with a delay while swimming.

    Press "Run" button to swim faster depleting proportionally more stamina. Swimming speed will gradually increase until maximum speed is reached.

    Sneaking stamina

    Control how much stamina is used while sneaking.

    Make Sneaking skill increase stamina regeneration rate while not moving.

    Make sneaking not to use stamina when no enemy is in a range.

    Base stamina increase by skills

    Base stamina will be increased proportionally by skills levels where max value reached at skill level 100.

    Skills that affect base stamina:

    • []Run

      []Sneak

      []Fishing

      Value is configurable skill-wise.

      Default config means you will have 10 more base stamina for any skill with level 50. So maximum increase will be 100 stamina when all skills are 100.

      Various multipliers

      Set stamina drain by various actions:

      • []Fishing pull stamina

        []Fishing hooked stamina (to keep fish on the line)

        []Harpooned target pull

        []Tools usage (hammer, cultivator, hoe)

        []Block

        []Dodge

        []Jump

        Out of combat multipliers

        Reduce stamina drain if out of combat (not targeted and sensed by enemy and not attacking):

        • []Running

          []Jumping

          []Dodging

          []Sneaking (if sneaking stamina config is enabled and no enemy is near it's 0 drain, otherwise this multiplier)

          Misc settings

          Hide stamina numeric value shown on the bar.

          Make stamina needed to Block, Dodge and Jump to be reduced by appropriate skill. 33% at max level to meet behavior of other skills.

          Configurable stamina drain on perfect parry.

          Enable detection of current surface your character's feet are touching.

          Set multipliers based on surface:

          • []movement speed

            []jump height

            []stamina consumption

            []stamina regeneration rate

            Detected surfaces:

              []Mud (swamp)

              []Grass (black forest and meadows)
