ASoD's VanillaUpgrades

Source code for ASoD's Vanilla Upgrades mod.

If you use any of my code for your mods, all I ask is that you give credit for the portion you took.

What does this mod do?

The goal of this mod is to upgrade the vanilla experience with tons of quality of life stuff. Current features are:

  • Greatly increased zoom-in/movement limits of the camera in world/build views.
  • Timewarp now stops when entering a planet's SoI.*
  • Time slowdown, you can now use decimal timewarps and even freeze time completely. (Off by default, due to cheaty nature.)
  • Physics timewarp up to 25x on all difficulties (Off by default, due to cheaty nature.)

New UI:

  • Toggles for disabling adaptation and snapping in the build grid.
  • Manual delta V calculator in build mode. Can be toggled with C.
  • New HUD window in world view that shows apoapsis, periapsis, eccentricity, and angle of your rocket.
  • World time view, and reimplementation of 1.35's indicator saying how long you've been timewarping for.

New Unit Displays:

  • Re-implements megameters (Mm) as a distance unit
  • Adds km/s as a velocity unit
  • % speed of light (c) as a velocity unit
  • Adds kt as a mass and thrust unit

New Keybinds:

  • L to launch and skip warnings in build space
  • Z to toggle symmetry
  • X to toggle interior view
  • Slash to instantly stop timewarp
  • C to set thrust to 0.1%
  • T to toggle torque
  • F2 to hide the UI

New Settings:

  • Toggle for all shake effects.
  • Toggles for explosion shake and effects.

Mod features can be individually disabled in the config window in the game's settings menu.

Tons more will be added in the future.

*Inconsistent. If I find a better implementation I will use it.
