Ship Enhancements adds way too many options for changing the ship and things relating to the ship. Experiment and have fun!

To answer some questions you may have...

Is this mod compatible with Quantum Space Buddies?

Yep! Whoever hosts the game will have control over the settings.

How am I supposed to carry all of these new items?

I made a mod called Traveler's Pack to address this problem. Try playing with it enabled if you run into the issue of there being too many items.

Feature Overview

Disable Ship Parts

Permanently remove useless or very important parts of the ship.

• Gravity Crystal: You are now only affected by outside sources of gravity. If you're in space you'll just float.
• Headlights: Disables your ship's headlights and landing camera light. You may need to rely on your scout for light.
• Landing Camera: Good luck.
• Eject Button: Covers the eject button with tape so that your friend can't keep ejecting the cockpit while you're trying to fly.
• Interior/Exterior Lights: Makes your ship very dark.
• Automatic Lights: Prevents the lights from turning off when you leave the ship.
• Oxygen: Literally removes all of the oxygen in the ship unless you're near trees or in an oxygen-filled atmosphere. This takes priority over all of the other oxygen modifications.
• Ship Scout Recall: Removes your ability to recall the scout using the ship. The scout must be manually docked on the ship's scout launcher to fire, and can only be recalled using the handheld scout launcher.
• Ship Scout Launching: Removes your ability to launch the scout from the ship. You'll have to do this yourself outside of the ship.
• Retro Rockets: Turns off your backwards thrusters. Now you don't have to worry about slowing down!
• Ship Repair: Be careful not to damage your ship.
• Damage Indicators: Turns off all of those pesky notifications about parts of your ship being damaged, including the master alarm. Keep an eye or four on the reactor, please.
• Seatbelt: Breaks a number of state laws by removing your seatbelt. If you crash into something with enough force you'll fly out of the chair.
• Ship Suit: Removes your spacesuit from the ship. Space exploration just got a whole lot more dangerous.
• Single-Use Tractor Beam: Turns off the ship's tractor beam after you enter the ship for the first time. If you leave without your suit, you might have trouble getting back in again.
• Air/Water Auto Roll: Lets you fly around upside down in air and water, which is really confusing when paired with no ship gravity. Also makes it easier to land on walls, if you wanted to do that.
• Ship Friction: Essentially makes your ship a block of ice that will slide anywhere on anything.
• Lock-on: Removes your ability to lock on to objects. You may find it difficult to use autopilot with this enabled.
• Map markers: Hides the markers that tell you the location of your ship, your scout, and any marked ship log locations. Ship log locations inside The Stranger are left visible until you arrive.

Adjust Ship Functions

Change some of the values that control how the ship works.

• Oxygen Drain Multiplier: Larger numbers make your ship's oxygen drain faster. Set it to something like 100 for it to completely drain after being in the ship for half the loop or so.
• Fuel Drain Multiplier: Larger numbers make your ship's fuel drain faster.
• Oxygen Tank Drain Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the amount of oxygen that drains when the ship's oxygen tank is damaged.
• Fuel Tank Drain Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the amount of fuel that drains when the ship's fuel tank is damaged.
• Idle Fuel Consumption Multiplier: Larger numbers increase how quickly your fuel drains over time. If the Engine Switch is enabled, it will not drain fuel while the ship is off.
• Damage Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the damage done to the ship hull and increase the probability that components will be damaged on impact.
• Damage Speed Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the speed you need to be traveling at before taking damage. Set this to something really small to blow up your ship when you touch something.
• Random Hull Damage: Applies random damage to a random set of hulls on the start of the loop. The slider controls the percentage of hulls to be damaged- minimum is none, maximum is all of them- and how much damage to do to them.
• Random Component Damage: Breaks a set number of random components at the start of the loop. The silder controls the percentage of components to be damaged, where the minimum is none and the maximum is all of them. The vital ship components (reactor, fuel tank, one random thruster) are excluded from being selected.
• Enable Stun Damage: Blocks all of your inputs for a short time after you crash. The harder you hit something, the longer you'll be frozen.
• Repair Time Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the time it takes to repair parts of your ship.
• Ship Gravity Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the strength of your ship's gravity crystal. Large numbers are advised against, however, as exiting your ship will kill you.
• Ship Gravity Direction: Lets you change the direction of your ship's gravity. Set this to Random if you feel like the game isn't painful enough.
• Atmosphere/Space Angular Drag Multiplier: Larger numbers make it harder to turn your ship. Setting this to 0 lets you spin your ship forever.
• Disable Rotation Speed Limit: Lets you spin your ship as quickly as you want. Enabling this may quickly lead to motion sickness.
• Air Drag Multiplier: Larger numbers make atmospheres slow you down more. Setting this to 0 lets your ship drift endlessly through the air.
• Chaotic Cyclones: Adjusts cyclones to apply an additional upwards spin to your ship while inside of them to make for an even more disorienting experience.
• Ship Explosion Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the size of the explosion that is created when your ship blows up. Set this to something between 10 and 30 to simulate an atomic bomb.
• Extra Explosion Damage: Gives explosions the ability to damage your ship and fragments of Brittle Hollow.
• Extra Noise: Makes noisy parts of the ship, like the master alarm, alert noise detectors.
• Reactor Lifetime Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the time it takes for the reactor to blow up when it has been damaged. Set this to something small to give yourself a panic attack every time the master alarm goes off.
• Ship Bounciness: Larger numbers increase the bounciness of the ship. Values above 1 will be less accurate and will no longer affect players.
• Ship Input Latency: This basically simulates internet lag, where larger numbers increase the time it takes for the ship to process your inputs. A value of 1 means it takes 1 second for your "upwards thrust" input to register.

Add Ship Features

Some new stuff that Slate didn't have time to include in the ship.

• Oxygen Refill: Refills the ship's oxygen tank when it gets close to trees or enters an oxygen-filled atmosphere.
• Oxygen Refill Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the speed at which your ship's oxygen tank refills when near an oxygen source.
• Fuel Transfer: Lets you transfer your jetpack fuel to the ship's fuel tank to refill it.
• Jetpack Refuel Drain: Drains the ship's fuel reserve when you refuel your jetpack. You cannot duplicate fuel by transferring it back into the ship.
• Fuel Transfer Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the amount of fuel that is drained when refueling your jetpack, and increase the amount of fuel that is added when transferring fuel to the ship.
• Automatic Hatch: Automatically closes the hatch when you leave the ship. Quantum Space Buddies has this feature by default.
• Manual Scout Recall: Brings you back to the days when Little Scouts didn't have warping technology. If you shoot your scout somewhere, you'll have to go over and pick it up to use it again. If you accidentally launch it into deep space, don't worry; the ship can still recall it, and you can go retrieve it from the top of the ship in the scout launcher.
• Ship Warp Core: Attaches a Nomai warp core to your ship's cockpit. You can press the button on the ceiling of the cockpit to activate the warp core, which will warp you back to Timber Hearth. The warp core also has the ability to pair with gravity cannons that are marked in the ship log.
• Temperature Zones: Implements a temperature mechanic for the ship using the "TEMP" (temperature) dial and a new "SHIP TEMP" (ship temperature) dial. Subjecting your ship to extreme temperatures will increase the ship temperature, making it more likely for your ship to sustain damage or bad side effects.
  • Any extreme temperatures can damage your ship if temperature damage is enabled. The temperature dial will start flashing if the temperature reaches a dangerous level.
  • High temperatures (very hot) will make your ship hull hot to the touch and can blow up the Portable Fuel Tank.
  • Low temperatures (very cold) will lower the strength of your ship's thrusters and make it possible for your ship ignition to fail.
• Hull Temperature Damage: Makes it possible for extreme temperatures to damage the hull of your ship.
• Component Temperature Damage: Makes it possible for extreme temperatures to damage any of your ship's components, like the headlights or artificial gravity.
• Temperature Damage Multiplier: Larger numbers increase the damage done to your ship by extreme temperatures.
• Temperature Resistance Multiplier: Larger numbers make the ship temperature change slower, giving you more time in extreme temperatures but requiring more time to recover.
• Faulty Heat Regulators: Makes your ship unable to dump the reactor heat, leaving it to build up in the ship. Unless you find someplace cold, your ship is going to constantly rise in temeprature.
• Repair Confirmation: Plays a sound when everything has been repaired. Now you don't need to go searching for any hulls you forgot to fix!
• Hazardous Thrusters: Makes your ship's thruster flames actually damage you. Try figuring out how to get near them in the first place.
• Cockpit Rust Level: Controls how much rust is applied to the ship cockpit. Moving the slider all the way to the right completely covers the cockpit in rust.
• Dirt Accumulation Time: Larger numbers increase the time (in seconds) it takes for dirt to build up on your cockpit glass, which you can wash off by finding a source of water. Set this to 0 to disable it.
• Max Dirt Accumulation: Stops dirt from building up on your cockpit when it reaches a certain level.
• Scout Launcher Component: Turns the ship's scout launcher into a fully functioning ship component. If you damage it, you won't be able to launch or recall your scout from the ship until you repair it.
• Signalscope Component: Turns the ship's signalscope into a fully functioning ship component. If you damage it, you won't be able to receive or broadcast signals from the ship until you repair it.
• Ship Signal: Adds a signal for the ship on the Outer Wilds Ventures frequency. The signal will stop if the ship's signalscope is damaged. Slate also said they added a "command transmitter" to your signalscope, whatever that means.
• Clock: Adds a clock to the cockpit that tells the time in minutes and seconds. It makes a nice ticking sound, if you like that sort of background noise.
• Ship Item Placement: Lets you place items inside or on top of your ship.
• Portable Campfire: Adds a portable campfire to the ship next to your suit. Set it up wherever you want and roast a marshmallow.
• Portable Tractor Beam: Adds a portable Nomai tractor beam to the ship near the ship log. Place it down somewhere if you need an extra boost in height.
• Portable Fuel Canister: Adds a portable fuel tank inside the ship at the back. You can bring it around with you in case you need to refuel your jetpack while traveling. The fuel tank can completely refill your jetpack about 3 times before it runs out of fuel.
• Expedition Flag: Adds a portable flag to the ship between the cockpit and the supplies section. Place it down somewhere if you want to mark some exploratory feat or if you want to mark where you've been.
• Ship Tether: Adds a few hooks to the ship cabin. You can attach these hooks to pretty much any surface- including the ship- and tether yourself to them. If you want to get even crazier, grab a second hook after tethering to one and tether to the new one; it will connect the two hooks together.
• Removable Gravity Crystal: Lets you detach the ship's gravity crystal and place it somewhere else to create a localized gravity field. The removed gravity crystal will have the same strength as it did in the ship.
• Gravity Landing Gear: Adds a switch to the cockpit that powers your landing gear with gravitational force, letting you stick to surfaces. It's a bit fragile though, and only works if your landing gear isn't damaged.
• Thrust Modulator: Adds an interface to the cockpit that lets you lower or disproportionately raise the maximum thrust your ship can use. Stacks with the smooth thrust option from General Enhancements.
• Persistent Input: Adds a switch to the cockpit that, when enabled, lets you continue your last input when you unbuckle from the ship. Useful when you want to hold forward for 10 minutes and don't feel like actually holding it the entire time.
• Engine Switch: Controls your ship's power and engine. The switch needs to be on if you want to use your ship. If the Idle Fuel Consumption Multiplier is above 0, it will only consume fuel when the ship is on.

Decoration

Haven't you ever wished your ship had a little more color?

• Ship Light Color: Changes the color of the ship's interior and exterior lights from a wide variety of options. Set this to Divine at your own risk, for mere Hearthians were never meant to see creations blessed by a god.
• Interior/Exterior Hull Color: Select from a variety of colors to change the inside or outside color of your ship. Just don't pick Rainbow.
• Ship Thruster Flame Color: Changes the color of the ship's thruster flames as well as the color of the thruster indicator inside of the ship.
• Damage Indicator Color: Changes the color of the ship damage display, the master alarm, and the damage indicator lights.

Quality of Life

These are all enabled by default.

• Keep Helmet On: When there is no oxygen present, this prevents the game from removing your helmet when doing things such as piloting the ship or roasting a marshmallow at a campfire.
• Show Warning Notifications: Notifies you in the ship when resources are low or when the outside conditions are becoming dangerous.
• Fix Ship Gravity: Gets rid of that annoying bug where you're trying to land on the Sun Station and you can't move around in your ship because it's holding you against the wall.

Presets

In case there are too many settings to deal with, there are some pre-made presets for you to use. The settings can still be meddled with after choosing one.

When you select a preset, you may have to close and reopen the settings menu for the changes to be visible. The mod manager has a few bugs currently.

• Vanilla Plus - Turns everything off except for the Quality of Life changes.
• Minimal - What if Slate didn't add all those extra things to your ship? This is that reality.
• Relaxed - Gives you more resources and less damage, plus some fun items.
• Hardcore - Resources are lower and damage is permanent.
• Wanderer - Makes the possibility of getting lost very, very likely.
• Pandemonium - I just turned everything on for this one. Good luck.
• Random - Randomizes all of the options each loop. Preserves the settings you had previously selected so that you can switch back anytime.

Achievements

Ship Enhancements adds 9 new achievements to the Achievements+ mod! Play with it enabled if you want to create some semblance of meaning from the chaos that ensues.

API

To use the API, copy the IShipEnhancements script from this mod's GitHub repository into your own project, then follow these instructions on the OWML docs.

• CreateTemperatureZone() - In case you're a modder and want to add your own high/low temperature zones. Temperature zones can stack, and will just take the sum of the temperatures.
• GetSettingsProperty() - Returns the value of a config setting as seen from the player. These values only update at the beginning of the loop, so changing the mod settings doesn't affect them.
• SetSettingsProperty() - Lets you change the value of a config setting in the middle of the loop. Note that this change will be reverted on the next loop.
• GetPreShipInitializeEvent() and GetPostShipInitializeEvent() - Subscribe to these events to run code before and after Ship Enhancements makes any changes to the ship.

Known Bugs

• When playing in multiplayer and using Input Latency, the delayed inputs of the non-hosts will not work once they leave the flight console
• If you attach yourself to an object with a tether and the object enters a black hole, there is a chance you will be violently thrown across the solar system
• The Portable Campfire can be lit inside the core of Giant's Deep
