About CraftingRangePlus

From mod.io

Increases the default crafting chest range from 10 tiles to 200 tiles and can search in 200 chests instead of 20. Works with all workbenches including repair station from my testing.

Decided to make this after realizing there is currently no mod that is compatible with the newest versions and working. RangeMod never worked for me so i decided to make one myself. Contact me on Discord @tonymontana if there's any problems.

 

Edit (a few days later):

After extensive testing and hours of digging through the game's code, I've determined that a reliable crafting range increase isn't currently possible without significant performance issues.

The core problem: The crafting range logic is part of the inventory system, which is Burst compiled. The only way to override the range with the current mod SDK is to disable Burst compilation on the entire inventory system — and that's what causes the massive FPS drops many have reported. This also means that reducing the range won't meaningfully improve performance, since the FPS hit comes from disabling Burst itself, not from the range value.

This is a limitation of Pugstorm's mod SDK, not something I can work around. Until better modding tools are provided, I don't believe a well-performing, bug-free crafting range mod is possible.

I'm leaving the mod up for anyone who still wants to use it despite the drawbacks, but I won't be updating it or fixing issues. If someone finds a clever workaround, I'd genuinely love to be proven wrong!

Sorry, and thanks for understanding. 🙏
