As it is unknown what ETA will be for this mod to be updated, I recommend to use CaravanOptions mod, one of it's options is actually this mod's fix.

really miss the mod. but it's good to know the author is still in touch with the community, thanks for your time replying :D

Eventually, when I have time. I haven't played rimworld in months and even haven't updated it yet.

update for b18 please.

A18?

It should be. It isn't doing any changes in savegames, just modifies some ingame code. So, you can safely remove this mod and aside from caravan speed returning to vanilla values should not see any other problems.

Is this save compitable?

Here you go. Confirmed by dev and resolved as not-a-bug/feature, so, will require this mod if you think that modded pawns should increase caravan speed.

I'd like confirmation also.

Nice thank you! upvoted

Change to pawn speed affected only base speed. It is a flat 2500 ticks/tile and is changed by pawn speed.

There are also three more addends in total caravan speed equation, and they are not modified by pawn speed in vanilla.

First, there is a terrain modifier. For flat terrain it is zero and for other terrains (small hills, etc) it is increased, maximizing for mountainous.

Second, there is a biome modifier. It is also zero for deserts and plains, maximizing for cold biomes (tundra and boreal forest). It includes a seasonal modifier. increasing path cost in winter and decreasing it in summer. You can check it in BiomeDefs directory in Core mod (vanilla game that is).

Then this equation is multiplied by minimum of the road's denominators (if any).

This mod multiplies it further by (base_time / base_default_time), adding a difference between base_time and base_default time beforehand (so that base speed is always default in equation).

I'm not sure I'm understanding this. So *any* change to the base speed was not actually affecting caravan speed, for good or ill? Only terrain types and seasons?
