Too awesome #1

The main issue with this mod is that it (like the key config mod you made) is too awesome.

I personally don't have any issue with the shift duration timer, but have seen a lot of people do so thank you for putting these together!

One question / idea I had was would it be possible to mod the out of workspace (i.e. out of bounds)? Maybe either the box dimensions (hard) or overextend or suppress the timer (probably way easier)?

I would LOVE to try and move to the other sky box objects and check them out in particular the other stations, big mother ships and get a better view of the changed earth (since unfortunately it doesn't seem to rotate :(

Not really a necessary mod by any stretch of the imagination, but as someone who modded out of bounds before (I upped it on Far Cry 4 so I could explore all the hidden areas) I can tell you it's really satisfying and interesting to poke around "behind the curtain" and I'll bet it would get some cool YT coverage which would bring more attention to your existing mods.

Anyway GREAT job! Keep it up :) 👍

I did a quick check to see how easy it was to remove the out of bounds and it was actually pretty easy lol. The only issue once the boundaries are removed is that you move way too slow to traverse the game space. So that would have to be increased as well to make moving around not feel so laborious.

Oh wow that's cool! Speed should be pretty easy to find then too as there is an acceleration and braking upgrades. Would be really interesting to see how / if it works... I'm surprised the props were not just resized and actually are some distance from the player area (kudos to the devs).

Hey quick question, I noticed that to get this to work, the script edits sharedassets0.assets and changes a few bytes (I think) which change how the time works. I know that when a file is changed, the bytes needed are no longer the same and the script stops working.

If this is how it works, how are you able to find the new bytes when the game gets updated?

@outlawzgosu It took a lot of time to figure out what I needed to change originally, but once I figured out that the game stores the time in seconds, I looked for the value of 900. That returns a lot of 900s, but it's the information stored around the 900 that gives away that it is the 900 used in determining the time.
