About Running Gearshift

From Factorio Mod Portal

Cycle between fixed running-speed modes with a hotkey or shortcut button, with per-player settings and adjustable in-game speed multipliers.

Running Gearshift

Add simple fixed running-speed modes to Factorio.

Running Gearshift lets each player cycle between Normal, Fast, and Very Very Fast movement modes using a hotkey or shortcut button. Speed multipliers can be adjusted in-game, and the selected mode is tracked per player.

Features

  • Three running modes: Normal, Fast, and Very Very Fast.
  • Hotkey and shortcut support for cycling modes.
  • Adjustable Fast and Very Very Fast multipliers.
  • Per-player default mode setting.
  • Multiplayer-friendly per-player mode tracking.

Notes

  • Designed as a small standalone quality-of-life mod.
  • Intended to coexist cleanly with other movement-speed changes where possible.
