Setting to spray without camera movement?
I was wondering if the devs were considering a setting that would allow you to spray without the camera moving, or with minimal camera movement. I'd love to play this game but I tried it once and I couldn't stand how the camera head moves around all the time. It was almost nauseating.

I'm having issues with motion sickness as well. I don't have it in other games like House Flipper, where the camera moves around. But in this game, I literally had to take Dramamine because of how nauseated I felt.

Next patch we are dropping a FOV slider which should help with motion sickness. Make sure that you put on the always-on crosshair too which can help. Though this particular mechanic is something we've considered before though no promises atm.

Wanna leave one more vote for this a well.

Not only because of the motion sickness, but because the movement is very strange in various situations. Particularly when cleaning something looking straight up or down and you just spin in circles instead of moving side to side. Would something like this be doable?

Agreed! What's weird is the *scenery* moving side to side/up & down rather than the sprayer. That's what's causing the motion sickness. I even have mine windowed and I'm wearing Sea-Bands plus have a fan blowing in my face; helps some.

I definitely agree with this suggestions too. I was about to suggest it myself until i saw this post. Its not the FOV that causes the motion sickness but the fact that you have to shake your camera around all the time in order to powerwash. By having a way to Freeze the camera (and maybe lock movement), to only just move the hose head around without changing the scene would help a lot.

Yes, exactly! In House Flipper (which I play a lot), the painting, cleaning, tiling, etc. are all done by "arms" plus tools to accomplish the work -- the arms and hands move the tools, not the camera moving around.

I totally agree! To be able to have the nozzle move separately from the camera view would make me less dizzy, this way I can clean smoothly without my vision being affected!

Necro. And a non-needed one at that. Aim mode got introduced which does exactly what is being requested. You can powerwash without needing to move the camera for that.

Aim mode does *not* alleviate motion sickness. I've tried it and it reduces it somewhat, but there is still weird camera movement at times, and the movement itself is somewhat motion-sickness inducing for me.

All that was said, was that they necro'd a post, asking for the washer to move separately from the camera, it does, it's called Aim Mode. It does seem to have alleviated motion sickness for a fair few people.
