Temporal Storms Require a Fight

This mod edits Temporal Storms so that, by default, they last 5x longer. Each drifter killed during the storm reduces this time by 5%, however. In the default setting, killing 20 drifters will end a light temporal storm immediately. This can be changed so you'd need to kill 100 drifters to end a storm.

Some drifters, like the double-headed drifter, will reduce the storm length by more than 5%.

There is a highly detailed config and commands so that the length of the temporal storm and the amount it is decreased by killing drifters can be edited.

Try running /tsf config to see the options, or edit the config file manually.

 

Config options:

-Percentage per entity killed (for example, corrupt-drifters currently give 8% storm reduction, but you could change this to 10% if you wanted)

-Temporal storm length (light temporal storm is 5x as long, medium is 7.5x as long, heavy is 10x as long)

-Percentage per storm length. Current (editable) defaults are:

--Light is 1.0x (killing a corrupt drifter gives 8% reduction)

--Medium is 0.75 (killing a corrupt drifter gives 6% reduction)

--Heavy is 0.5x (killing a corrupt drifter gives 4% reduction)

-You can also turn off chat messages for a more immersive experience

 

Future improvements:

-Temporal storm warning happens 10 minutes before, 5 minutes before, and 1 minute before (not just one minute before). The warning should have eerie noises to go along with it and should be very obvious, unlike the base game.

-Cool temporal sounds when you kill drifters during a temporal storm, sounds of the storm accelerate briefly

-Config for non-percentage based scaling (each drifter reduces the storm by an hour, for example)

-Config for multiplayer, so more players will reduce the amount of drifter kills. 5 players might mean needing to kill 5x as many drifters, or 2.5x as many drifters, depending on config.

 

To test in creative:

-Do '/nexttempstorm now'

-Kill some drifters

-Use '/tsf config' if you want to change anything
