Longer Buffs

Keep short food and potion buffs active longer. Choose a minimum duration; effects already lasting longer keep their normal duration.

Formerly named Buff Duration Floor. Saved settings carry over.

Settings

Open Settings > Mod Options > Longer Buffs.

| Setting | Default | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum buff duration | 3:00 | Positive timed food and potion effects, such as movement speed or damage |
| Minimum healing duration | Off | Consumable healing-over-time and mana regeneration |

Both settings offer Off, 30 s, 45 s, 1:00, 1:30, 2:00, 3:00, 5:00 and 10:00. Off restores the normal duration for that group. Healing is separate because extending regeneration can substantially increase total healing.

Changes affect the next food or potion you consume. Buffs already active keep their existing timers. Settings save automatically, and item tooltips reflect the adjusted consumable durations.

Version 1.3.2 renames the mod to Longer Buffs; gameplay is unchanged. Version 1.3.1 limits duration updates to item templates. Dropped items loading or unloading no longer trigger repeated full scans or accumulate cached copies of their durations.

Requirements and multiplayer

Requires CoreLib and Mod Options. Install on the host/server and every client, then restart Core Keeper. The host/server determines actual durations; matching settings avoids temporary client differences.

What stays unchanged

Debuffs, instant healing, permanent bonuses, equipment effects and most talent effects are not extended. This mod changes effects stored on the consumable itself.

In particular, the fishing talent's +15% damage against bosses for 1 minute stays at one minute. Talent-added melee attack speed from cooked food and potion healing-over-time also keep their hard-coded durations.
