ExplorersVision

Configurable dynamic map explortation radius based on environmental visibility factors with optional configuration syncing if on server.

For managing configuration setting you can use an in-game configuration manager or

change configs by editing the config file on disk as this mod has a built in file watcher.

Features

  • Configurable base exploration radius while on land.
  • Configurable base exploration radius while on a boat.
  • Configurable effects from the environment:
  • Radius increases gradually based on altitude.
  • Radius increases or decreases based on current amount of daylight.
  • Radius can be decreased by weather effects such as fog, rain or snow.
  • Radius decreased by 30% while in a forested area by default.
  • See config for details on adjust each of these options.

Generally speaking, I reccomend only adjusting the radius values in the "Global" section of the config.

Default values in the "Multipliers" category have been tuned to approximate actual visibility changes,

and changing them can significantly impact exploration radius in sometimes unexpected ways.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
