How to set the right value? (examples)
Everything is indicated on mouse-over in game in "Sandbox options" (see mod screeshots). You can also find them in this topic List of all default values/items to adjust
  • Duct Tape : Default: 1.0 = 4 units per item
    Example: 5.0 = 20 units; 2.0 = 8 units; 0.5 = 2 units; 0.25 = 1 unit
  • NPK fertilizer : Default: 1.0 = 4 units per item
    Example: 5.0 = 20 units; 2.0 = 8 units; 0.5 = 2 units; 0.25 = 1 unit
  • Beta blockers : Default: 1.0 = 10 units per item
    Example: 5.0 = 50 units; 2.0 = 20 units; 0.5 = 5 units; 0.1 = 1 unit
  • Plaster bucket : Default: 1.0 = 10 units per item
    Example: 5.0 = 50 units; 2.0 = 20 units; 0.5 = 5 units; 0.1 = 1 unit

Some crazy ideas with this mod:

🔹 Organize a Candle Light Parade in the streets of Muldraugh.
🔹 Wash for months with the same soap.
🔹 Decrease the number of use of certain pills for a hardmore game.
🔹 Build your entire house with a single bag of plaster.
🔹 Invent your own rules... and share your ideas in the comments!

  • If anyone is interested in translating into a missing language, I'd be happy to add their work to the mod! How do I go about it?
  • Want more sandbox options on an item consumption? Another mod is not compatible with this one? Let me know here!

This mod can be added to or removed from a save file at any time.

Known Incompatibilities:
  • None at the moment!
  • Report a bug or any issue here!

I think if the in-game description: units per item was changed to: uses per item it would alleviate the ambiguity of the instructions.

Does anyone know if increasing the value in the settings increases the amount of time a resource can be used? or does it increase the amount of the resource that get's consumed with each use?

Hello, could use some help I have an issue with the propane torches not accepting the custom consumption value. I have it set to 100 and in game it is showing 1/1 only and cannot even dismantle a car wreck

Please update B42 Build

Build 42 is out.

Flashlights lasting 7 minutes in Real-Time break the game for me.
So I hope this mod lives on.

@dede loves u. This version already includes the Slow Consumption mod. You just have to indicate the desired values directly in this mod.
dede loves u Nov 28, 2024 @ 4:50pm 
does this conflict with slower consumption? or can i install both and load custom below slower?
