AcceleratedStart

A Subnautica mod which speeds up the start and some of the early game with tweaks and additional starting items. This project is a direct continuation of oldark's original mod with permission from its original creator.

• Radio may start repaired
• Lifepod may start repaired
• Can start with full health, food and water
• Option to use one of several loadouts of different starting items, or create your own
• Configurable lifepod storage size

How to Use

1. Install BepInEx
2. Install Nautilus
3. Extract this mod into your Subnautica/BepInEx/plugins folder
4. Enjoy!

How to Build

• git clone --recurse-submodules [link-to-this-repository]
• Add a GameDirectory.targets file to the root directory with a GameDirectory property pointing to your install directory of Subnautica. An example file can be found here.
• Load the project in an IDE of your choice
• Building in the Debug configuration will leave you with the ready-made .dll in ./bin/Debug/ and also automatically update the installed version in the Subnautica/BepinEx/plugins directory
• Building in the Release configuration will additionally generate a .zip archive ready for distribution in ./bin/Release/

CustomizedStorage Compatibility

When this mod is used alongside CustomizedStorage, this one always wins the tie for lifepod storage size. While not too big of a deal, it would be nice to allow the user to have that granular control over inventory size when they go through the trouble of installing a mod specifically made for that.

Search the BepInEx chainloader for CS' GUID and do not load lifepod inventory changes if it exists.
