@TheGoddessOfWar

I'll try to get to it before the end of this year, life's been kicking my ass a bit so been busy
will try to get this updated when I can
TheGoddess0fWar 25 May @ 8:20pm

Does not work at all.

This mod is broken with vehicles. It causes you to instantly remove parts no matter what your settings are.
Onkel Benz 4 Apr, 2024 @ 11:44am 
@Pedro it is a setting you do before you start the server, there is one Tab where you can change all the stuff before starting a game.
Pedro 10 Feb, 2024 @ 8:07am 
Sorry but where can i actually change the settings??

Hello, I was asked to check out this mod as it is causing issues with skill recovery journal - I would advise not overwriting the entire vanilla file.

Also noticed: `BarricadeAction` sandbox is used in reading actions.

Where does smoking fit into the sandbox?

It work for me in MP server!

BUT!!
I can't use weapons to attack zombies from inside the car after installing this mod :((

@Waldo
yes, since messing around with it and making it faster would cause issues, I only made it an on/off option
Waldo 26 Nov, 2023 @ 9:19pm 
the only option for editing reading speed is the checkbox?
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 26 Nov, 2023 @ 12:59pm 
@Waldo
seems like there may be a conflict between the mods, Ricardo's mod alone makes it so a 220 page book is completely read in less than 10 seconds, so if it's not working then Ricardo's mod may be conflicting with the Cat Reeding mod
Waldo 26 Nov, 2023 @ 12:48pm 
How do I edit the speed of reading books? My doll is reading very slowly and does not work with the Cat Reeding mod

I just downloaded the mod and am trying to host a server through steam to play with friends, the ricardo settings show up in the sandbox settings, but in game they don't work. Does anyone know what the fix is?
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 22 Sep, 2023 @ 8:57am 
hello Phoenix
it might have been updated, i'll take a look and update it today when i am free
thanks for the feedback !!
Phoenix Pontifex 21 Sep, 2023 @ 2:24pm 
Thanks for the great mod, I have one issue

Everything else is being sped up, but transfer/pickup items speed isn't changing and is vanilla no matter what I set it to
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 20 Sep, 2023 @ 8:00am 
Hello friend
Yeah i think if you modify the sandbox file inside the mod folder you should be able to change the defaults for the values, that should do the trick

Good afternoon.
I have this dedicated server that I play with my friends, and I open and close it over time. It turns out that every time I open it, I have to re-configure the sandbox options, ingame, save the new settings, and /reloadoptions ingame. Is there any way for me to edit the mod to leave the default settings (permanently, to open the server) at 3x speed mult? instead of 10?
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 13 Aug, 2023 @ 7:43pm 
FYI for anyone having doubts regarding log sawing

In sandbox options, in the Sandbox_RicardoFA_Skills tab

if you set the "CraftAction_Speed_Multiplier" value to 1 (vanilla), you will have log sawing at standard/normal speed, the problem is that this will also affect other crafting actions, so use it wisely

cheers!
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 10 Aug, 2023 @ 8:44am 
it may have been updated, i'll check it out and let you know, thanks for the heads up!
Mendez 10 Aug, 2023 @ 2:01am 
It isnt bro, choping down trees is instant but not sawing.
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 8:57am 
Log sawing should be instant by default, no speed modifiers
Mendez 8 Aug, 2023 @ 12:14pm 
Bro i can't find how to add speed to sawing logs, got the chop tree option but not the logs, can u help me out
PieParadox 20 Jul, 2023 @ 11:20am 
I love this mod soo much! However, my character still disassembles beds instantly, even with the checkbox disabled. Any thoughts on this?
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 13 Jul, 2023 @ 8:43am 
hey @Belthil13 thanks for the feedback friend!

It would be ideal to have that setup yes, I'll see if in the following weeks I have some free time and I can look into how that could be configured, might be a bit tricky so no promises

Cheers and have fun!
Belthil 12 Jul, 2023 @ 10:44pm 
Hi :) awesome mod for MP servers!

Some friends and me were wondering about some speeds not being adjustable and only having a checkbox for max speed. Are you planning on adding a value adjustment for these? I think having full control on all actions' speeds would greatly improve this mod.

The ones that only have a checkbox are:

-Destroy Speed
-Chop Tree Speed
-Book Reading Speed (already adjustable in MP, this is more for Single Player)
-Dismantle Speed
-Disinfect Speed
-Drop World Item Speed
-Drop Item Speed
-Map Open Speed
-Moveables Action Speed

Thanks for reading my comment, cheers!

@Xolerys
it should NOT do that
the mod is created in a way that action files are modified, such as log sawing, book reading, item moving
but it should not make you get tired faster, check how much weight you are carrying, maybe that's what
Xolerys 2 Jul, 2023 @ 5:52pm 
does this also make you get tired faster? i have 9 fitness and just jogging around for a little gets me tired fast
Yeetloaf 1 Jul, 2023 @ 8:08am 
One of the settings in the "other" tab
Yeetloaf 1 Jul, 2023 @ 8:08am 
I don't remember what the default is but it doesn't matter. You can change reading speed without any mods I just found out
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 1 Jul, 2023 @ 8:01am 
@Yeetloaf it is enabled by default with max speed
Yeetloaf 1 Jul, 2023 @ 6:44am 
Do I enabled sandbox reading speed to get faster reading?
Unamelable 30 Apr, 2023 @ 6:07am 
Finally game becomes Sandbox, not grinding simulator.
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 25 Apr, 2023 @ 7:34pm 
@iwyfaf it should
iwyfaf 25 Apr, 2023 @ 4:08pm 
It works for already created MP game?
Stratos 11 Apr, 2023 @ 12:40pm 
This way, people who prefer to start from "vanilla" and manually adjust speeds faster (Like me) have a direct mod option to select. (Say, "FastActionsVanilla") Then for the others they can remain on the default "branch."

And the main reason I suggest this is that when we install a mod into a dedicated server, we can't even begin to adjust settings until we start it up and the mod has had a chance to edit *_SandboxVars.lua with it's data. So being able to populate those values with "vanilla" (1) from the get-go I think would be beneficial. Thanks, man.

(And if you don't drink the coffee all good, but if you setup a donation option on your mod I'll use it)
Stratos 11 Apr, 2023 @ 12:40pm 
Some updates: Setting my timings to 1 did feel like vanilla. I think my main challenge currently is that there is no delay on the Dismantling of objects and chopping trees. When I dismantle for Carpentry or Metalworking, these are instant. Which.. is okay... but being able to adjust them would be nice. Same with the chopping trees... it's just too unrealistic to chop one down in 1 swing heh.

And since you brought it up, here's my suggestion: Aside from enabling custom speeds on the things that we don't have yet, what I _personally_ think you should do is have two versions of the mod, one that defaults to instant (current mod design) and one that defaults to "Vanilla but able to adjust." (basically one mod that sets everything to 10, the other sets everything to 1)

(continued above...)
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 10 Apr, 2023 @ 11:44am 
hello Stratos
thanks for the feedback bro
yeah give it a try with those, i've been running them on my end on 1 and that does seem to be vanilla
another thing we could try is to have some actions be slower and some others faster/instant, i've heard some people are interested in that too so that could also be configured in sandbox i believe

anything you can come up with, ideas, new actions, comments, advice whatever is greatly appreciated
coffee? no thanks bro i no longer drink the coffees
have a good one friend!
Stratos 9 Apr, 2023 @ 2:58pm 
okay, some of my settings were in the 2-4 range. So I set them all to 1 except for "InventoryTransfer" and "GrabItem" since those are the real killers in MP. I'm going to see how these go. I know for many if not most people they want it instant. So I very well may be the outlier here... but I would personally prefer if the adjustments started at default (1) and then going up from there gradually increased the respective speed. I'm gonna play like this for a couple days and will see how things go. Again, huge appreciation for this and your responsiveness. Can I send you a "coffee"...?
Stratos 8 Apr, 2023 @ 7:08pm 
@I5exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood Thanks for the response. Again, don't get me wrong I prefer this over nothing, but is there no way to give us a smoother scale of speed increase? Even if the numerical max is 10 I have almost everything set to 1 and has been and it's still pretty much instant. So in a way it doesn't even seem like those adjustments do anything?

Glad it was helpful WhiskeyTick
Have fun out there friend!
WhiskeyTick 6 Apr, 2023 @ 11:50am 
Thanks so much for this mod, it was exactly what I was looking for. Got yelled at on reddit for "not playing right" when I asked if something like this existed, so I'm glad I stumbled on it.

I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 3 Apr, 2023 @ 1:34pm 
Hello Srtatos
Thanks for your comment
Oh alright I see, I'll see if I can do a bit of a rework on the timings then
As for the woodworking/tree chopping, I'll see what I can do about them when I get some time, cheers!
Stratos 3 Apr, 2023 @ 1:04pm 
Hey, really big fan of this mod, since vanilla "timings" are basically a dealbreaker for multiplayer. I did have to go and adjust some of the times as I didn't want them to be instantaneous. For some tasks I still want the delay, especially when it relates to animation. I noticed that even though many of the custom times claim 100 maximum, I found that anything over say 7-8 is already instant, so not sure why it has to go all the way to 100. But regardless, if you can add the custom times for woodworking and/or chopping trees that would be great. I'd like to have to swing at a tree 2 or 3 times. =) Thank you!
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 2 Apr, 2023 @ 6:47pm 
Hello Belthil13
Yes, if you check the box, that means the speed will be instant or in case of book reading, it will be really fast
If you do NOT check the box, the speed will be vanilla
Please note that setting any of the other values to 1 will make those actions' speed vanilla
I5-exuallyIdentifyAsPrettyGood  [author] 7 Mar, 2023 @ 8:26am 
thanks KamikazeOregano, glad it has helped some of you!
