🚗 Vehicle tuning

Vehicle quality of life package for human hosts. Faster generator charging, instant refueling shortcut (default is End), and customizable seat camera zoom range. Everything is configurable and automatically hot-reloads as you play.

✨ Features

☀️ Solar Charging Boost - Solar generators charge much faster (10x by default), but still only during the day under clear skies

🚲 Pedal charging acceleration - the bicycle generator charges faster (default is 5 times), and sprinting is still faster than normal pedaling.

🔋 Instant refueling shortcut key - one button (default End) can fill the engines of all loaded vehicles with fuel

🎥 Customize the camera zoom range - expand the camera's zoom range when sitting

⚙️ Live configuration reload - edit CFG while the game is running and changes will take effect immediately

🚀 Lightweight - no new interface, no additional cost per frame other than a few live reads

🔧 Why do you need instant replenishment even though there are multiples?

Different players want different things, so there are two ways to charge up:

Multiplier - maintain the rhythm of survival. You'll still be waiting for power, just not for hours. Adjust the pace to what you feel is fair rather than getting stuck with vanilla grinding.

Instant refueling (shortcut key) – When you don’t want to wait for recharging, or don’t want to manually pedal: just push a button and all engines are fully fueled.

They are not mutually exclusive - use whatever is appropriate for the moment.

⚙️ Configuration

File: BepInEx\config\humanhost.vehicle.tweaks.cfg

Hot reloading of all settings: Edit + save while the game is running, and the effects will take effect immediately (after first launch). The default settings make sense - install, play, and only make adjustments if you want.

☀️🚲 Charging speed

[Charge]

Solar Multiplier = 10

Bicycle multiplier = 5

X10 Suns ≈ 1000 Suns filled in about 33 minutes of daylight. x5 pedals ≈ ~11 minutes of pedaling / ~5.5 minutes of sprinting. Adjust it higher or lower to taste.

🔋 Instant replenishment

[Refill]

EnableRefillHotkey = true

Supplementary shortcut key = end

The press of a button instantly tops up the engines of all loaded vehicles (and brings a failed engine back online so the vehicle starts immediately). Custom Key - This value is a Unity KeyCode name, optionally with the "+" modifier:

Single keys, such as the end key, home key, F5 key or keyboard enter key

Combinations such as R + LeftControl (Ctrl+R) or G + LeftAlt (Alt+G)

Naming: letters A–Z; top row numbers Alpha1–Alpha0; numeric keypad Keypad1–Keypad0; modifier keys include LeftControl/LeftShift/LeftAlt (or Right variant)

Avoid using keys already used in the game (W/A/S/D, Space, Shift, F, H) and F12 (Steam screenshot).

🎥Camera zoom range (when sitting)

[Vehicle Camera]

EnableZoomRange = true

Minimum distance = 1

Maximum distance = 15

The original locked the scroll zoom on the seat at about 8. This will zoom it in to your minimum – maximum distance (the default range is 1–15, which can be expanded to 60 for a near-top-down view of large buildings). Your walking camera remains stationary - it automatically resumes when you leave your seat.

📦 Installation

Requires BepInEx 5 (mono x64). VehicleTweaks.dll.

Step 1 — Install BepInEx 5

Download BepInEx_win_x64_5.4.23.2.zip from

Unzip Human Host.exe into your Human Host installation folder (next to)

).You should look at winhttp.dll, doorstop_config.ini, and a BepInEx

folder

Start the game once and then exit - this will generate BepInEx\plugins\,BepInEx\config\,BepInEx LogOutput.log

Step 2 — Enable HideManagerGameObject (required)

⚠️ Without this step, the mod loads but does nothing.

Open the door BepInEx\config\BepInEx.cfg

Change HideManagerGameObject = false

to HideManagerGameObject = true

Step Three – Install Vehicle Adjustment
