Realistic Item Weights
Have you ever noticed how a glass chemistry flask seems to weigh more than large industrial metal pieces?
Or maybe you have your doubts about whether that paper thin sheet of scrap metal truly weighs as much as 26lbs?
Whatever the case, I went and googled every single item and changed their weight values accordingly, they now make more sense than before.
Features:
- Most store items weigh significantly less, jetpack and extension ladder are heavier though.
- Large metal scrap and machine parts are much heavier
- Items small enough to fit in your pocket are generally about 0-2lbs
- Should support most mods that add a custom boombox
Is it balanced?
Somewhat, most items almost weigh nothing so it is easier to loot but then there are a few scrap items that are very heavy so it sort of balances out.
On the bright side, most items got light enough to be carried accross the dreaded Adamance bridge.
Meanwhile changes to V-types and large axles made Experimentation, Assurance and Offense worse.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
