About SkilledCarryWeight

From Thunderstore

Configurable increase to max carry weight based on skill level per skill. Also allow making it so that increasing your max carry weight will make carts easier to pull.

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 makes increasing your max carry weight to cause carts to be easier to pull (configurable). Uses Jotunn 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.

Version 1.6.0 Update Notice

There have been changes to the configuration file settings so you may need to delete and regenerate your configuration file!

Important: I have removed the quick cart features from this mod and split them off into their own mod called QuickCart. You can install QuickCart alongside SkilledCarryWeight and it will work just like it did before version 1.6.0.

The reason I seperated out the quick cart feature is so that you can use QuickCart alongside either SkilledCarryWeight or ImpactfulSkills. Since ImpactfulSkills adds a new hauling skill that behaves similarly to this mod but it does not include a quick attach/detach feature this approach allows you to use whichever mod you prefer and still use the quick attach/detach feature via QuickCart and avoid running both SkilledCarryWeight and ImpactfulSkills.

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.

Global Section

These settings control how verbose the output to the log is.
<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>

Cart Mass Section

These settings control how your maximum carry weight affects the mass of carts and how easy they are to pull.
<table> <tbody> <tr> <th align="center">Setting</th> <th align="center">Server Sync</th> <th align="center">Description</th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">CarryWeightAffectsCart</td> <td align="center">Yes</td> <td align="left"> Set to true/enabled to allow your max carry weight affect how easy carts are to pull by reducing the mass of carts you pull.
  • Acceptable values: False, True
  • Default value: true
</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">MaxMassReduction</td> <td align="center">Yes</td> <td align="left"> Maximum reduction in cart mass due to increased max carry weight. Limits effective cart mass to always be equal to or greater than:
Mass * (1 - MaxMassReduction).
  • Acceptable values: (0, 1)

  • Acceptable values: (300, 1000)
  • Default value: 300
</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">Power</td> <td align="center">Yes</td> <td align="left"> Affects how much your maximum carry weight making pulling carts easier. Higher powers make your maximum carry weight reduce the mass of carts more.
