Stable Weights

Description
Description

This is a very simple mod that scales weight gains and losses by an adjustable factor. I was annoyed by how quickly my characters' weights changed and how finicky staying at a healthy weight felt, so I decided to make this mod.

How It Works

Every ten in-game minutes, this mod calculates each player's change in weight, then scales it by a factor that can be set in sandbox options.

Compatibility

There shouldn't be compatibility issues, but if some crazy mod depends on changes in player weights, it's possible this mod could disrupt it.

You should be able to add this mod to existing saves with no issues.

Multiplayer

I'm a very amateur modder and this mod was only minimally tested in a locally hosted server, so I can't guarantee it will work in multiplayer.

@Sykaas Do you mind if I copy and share your image? I've been letting people know about converting mods over when I find ones that work, but the image is worth 1000 words. Also, I recommend a "use at your own risk" warning. I don't think things that add items and stuff to the game or make drastic changes will work so well just being ported, but smaller ones like this should be fine. In fact, I'll be porting this one over into my own local now!

Happy to report this is working in build 42. You just need to copy a few files.

Subscribe to this mod to download it, and find it at D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content\108600\2908032256\mods\JSStableWeights

All you have to do is, inside the mod folder (JSSStableWeights):

You will see a folder called media, and two files: mod.info and poster.png

Copy all three items.

Create a folder here called 42, paste those three items inside.
Create a folder called common, paste those three items inside.

Now your mod folder (JSSStableWeights) will look like this:

+ 42
__ media
__ mod.info
__ poster.png

+ common
__ media
__ mod.info
__ poster.png

- media
- mod.info
- poster.png


Just do that and then the mod works as normal. The Sandbox option for the weight gain modifier is at the very bottom of the character page, beneath the XP rates.

One thing I would like to see is depressing Moodle increase the gain of weight (when check force an increase)

The mod might be bugged with multiplayer or just in general. When hosting a server I start with the default 80 weight but after a few in-game hours my character now has 75 weight.

is the weight scaled of your presets or what ever your current weight is set to? there are some mods like better backpack upgrades that make all vanilla backpacks be a little higher carry capacity. also some trait mods and dynamic trait mods have dynamic traits that increase your normal carry weight. ive been trying to single out the issue as using all the mods i have with this one at the bottom of my load order im getting some days where i need around 6k calories just to maintain my weight witch is honestly just a joke completely opposite reaction to what im using this mod for

@CrispyChestnuts
Definitely feel free to release it.

@JS you still around? I made a modification of this called Sticky Weight that kind of pushes the player weight towards 80 that i'd like to either give to you to release, or to get permission from you to release it. I used your mod heavily to make it. Let me know here or on discord. my discord is crispychestnuts

I've also had the same annoyance about the unusually fast weight gain/loss with PZ without taking either Light Eater or Hearty Appetite traits, so I'm glad you've provided a solution!

I've worried more about staying between the 75-85 weight threshold than zombies biting my head off in my recent vanilla apocalypse playthroughs, LOL!

Thank you & much appreciated!

I use your mod in every game. Thank you.
