About this project

What does Barnacle Raft (meditation edition) add?

--- What This Mod Does ---

Reduces the vanilla raft's speedMultiplier from the irresponsible 1.0 down to a monastic 0.8.
Affects ALL vanilla wood rafts: oak, birch, maple, pine, acacia, aged, and yes, even the smug bamboo one. No raft is safe from enlightenment.
Gives you more time per voyage to appreciate the horizon, question your route, and slowly accept that you should have built a boat.

--- What This Mod Does NOT Do ---

It does not add barnacles. There are no barnacles. The barnacles are inside your heart.
It does not touch the sailed boat, because that thing has a sail and clearly considers itself better than you.
It does not affect Primitive Survival rafts or Shipwright vessels. They have their own opinions and their own config files. We do not negotiate with them.
It does not make the raft "realistic." Rafts are already realistic. This is a documentary.

--- Frequently Aggressively Anticipated Questions ---

Q: Why would I want my raft to be slower?

A: Why would you want anything? Existence is a series of small decelerations. This mod merely honors that truth.

Q: Is 80% even noticeable?

A: Spiritually, immensely. Physically, it's a tasteful, gentle nerf. You'll feel it most when a crocodile is chasing you. Good luck.

Q: Can I change the value?

A: No. The number is 0.8. The number has always been 0.8. Do not question the number. (Okay, fine — it's one line in a JSON patch. You know what you're doing, you rebel.)

Q: Will this crash my server?

A: It's a single JSON patch that changes one number. If this crashes your server, you have bigger, more beautiful problems.

--- Installation ---

Drop the zip in your Mods folder.
Required on both client and server, because fairness demands that everyone suffer equally.
Restart.
Achieve inner peace at a reduced but sustainable pace.

Compatible with Vintage Story 1.22.3. Compatible with your ambitions only if those ambitions are modest.
