Increased Draw Distance mod coming very soon!

[u/shawnikaros]

3x draw distance is currently running, presumably stably, at around 200-400fps on a 9600X and 3080ti, my other mod 3x enemy spawn multiplier is also on. So there is basically zero hit to performance on a modern gpu. It will obviously vary depending on your setup, but I'm fairly certain it's going to be completely playable even with a 1060, likely steam deck too but not necessarily 3x.

The draw distance on LODs, vegetation, grass, terrain LOD, NPCs, interactables, static world objects, pretty much EVERYTHING is configurable between 1.5x, 2x and 3x. There is no option to change them individually.

I've spent a few days tackling on a few repeatable crashing bugs and they're now hopefully solved,
I'm starting a fresh run tomorrow and play for a bit, if there's no new issues I'll release the mod.

It's honestly game changing to play so you don't practically see ANY lod pop in.

Video to see the pop in changes

edit2:
Made increased shadow draw distance too, the vanilla low range was blatantly obvious with the general draw distance increase. I haven't shown it yet.

3x enemy spawn multiplier sounds good didn't know there were any mods

Comes paired with XP multiplier (toned down so you don't drown in levels) and durability multiplier so your weapons aren't constantly broken for beating more enemies. All configurable.

I went through a bit of trouble to get the game working with 2000 simultaneous NPCs. FPS was around 10 so I figured that's a good spot to leave it, and it's purely for the odd case that you leave literally every NPC alive and just run around with a 10x modifier. Vanilla crashes around 250 npcs and visually breaks way before that.

Playing it along with your new draw distance mod and its so good!

Thank you! The draw distance really changes the game in a good way

On mobile? It's kinda hard to see the differences, but they are there. You can see gatherables and npcs from far away, but the biggest difference comes when you're moving, nothing is popping.

Comparison video, it should be way more obvious even on mobile.

I always forget how beautiful this game's environments can be.

[u/shawnikaros → u/Call_The_Banners]

It'se crazy that the developers decided to leave the draw distance so low on re-reckoning.

Real! Por esto también es uno de mis juegos favoritos, por lo hermoso que se ve todo el tiempo el paisaje
