About SkilledCarryWeight

From Thunderstore

Configurable increase to max carry weight based on skill level per skill. Also adds a quick attach/detach feature to carts and can allow increasing your max carry weight to make carts easier to pull.

#Disclaimer Most of mods I work with are some old and outdated ones that their authors haven't updated so far to match 1.0. I am not a professional modder myself, but I am good with coding and gaming. If you experience any problems with the mods I published, you can find me in Hexium discord server by typing DMT.

SkilledCarryWeight

Increases max carry weight based on skill level. The skills that increase max carry weight and the amount they increase it by are completely configurable. Also adds a quick attach/detach feature for carts and can configure increasing your max carry weight to make carts to be easier to pull. Uses embedded ServerSync to sync configuration if installed on server.

Server-Side Info: This mod does work as a client-side only mod and only needs to be installed on the server if you wish to enforce configuration settings.

Details

Vanilla skills are automatically detected so if new skills get added in a future update this mod will let you configure how they affect your max carry weight.

Max carry weight is increased based on skill level for each skill enabled in the configuration using the following equation:

Increase = Coefficient * ((Skill Level) ^ Power)

Effective cart mass if calculated using the following equation if CarryWeightAffectsCart is enabled.

ModifiedMass = Max(
	Mass * (1 - MaxMassReduction), 
	Mass * (MinCarryWeight/MaxCarryWeight) ^ Power
)

Configuration

Changes made to the configuration settings will be reflected in-game immediately (no restart required) and they will also sync to clients if the mod is on the server. The mod also has a built in file watcher so you can edit settings via an in-game configuration manager (changes applied upon closing the in-game configuration manager) or by changing values in the file via a text editor or mod manager.

<table> <tbody> <tr> <th align="center">Setting</th> <th align="center">Server Sync</th> <th align="center">Description</th> </tr> <td align="center">Verbosity</td> <td align="center">No</td> <td align="left"> Low will log basic information about the mod. Medium will log information that is useful for troubleshooting. High will log a lot of information, do not set it to this without good reason as it will slow down your game.
  • Acceptable values: Low, Medium, High
  • Default value: Low
</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
