BoatStatusHUD
Real-time vessel telemetry and instrumentation overlay for Sailwind.
About this mod Author’s original text
BoatStatusHUD
A lightweight, real-time telemetry HUD overlay for Sailwind. Since the game features a highly immersive, diegetic UI with no floating health bars, this mod introduces an elegant Immediate Mode GUI (IMGUI) overlay to help you monitor your ship's structural state during long trading voyages.
Features
- Hull Integrity: Displays your ship's overall health percentage.
- Hull Damage: Tracks structural failure caused by physical collisions with docks or rocks.
- Bilge Water: Real-time monitoring of flooding/water level accumulation inside the hold.
- Caulk/Oakum: Monitored condition of your hull seals.
- Dynamic Color Coding: The HUD automatically switches typography colors from White (Safe) to Yellow (Warning) when damage/water exceeds 15%, and Red (Critical/Sunk) if the vessel is lost or integrity reaches 0%.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
