Geo's Belt Tweaks

Geo's belt tweaks for Dyson Sphere Program.

Tweaks

• Show belt preview tilt: Belt previews show the belt's slope and tilt.
• Match starting belt height: Match the height of the belt or splitter you start from, rounded to the nearest build level. Splitters with ports at multiple heights use the base level; raise the belt height to use an upper port.
• Match starting belt tier: Extending a belt selects its tier.
• Toggle belt surface height: Press numpad 0 (or your rebound reset-height hotkey) to reset to the surface, then press it again to restore the previous height. Closing the belt tool clears the remembered height. Tilt still resets on each press.
• Remember belt free-angle mode: Keep free-angle mode selected with R when closing and reopening the belt tool.

All tweaks are enabled by default. Set ShowBeltPreviewTilt, MatchStartingBeltHeight, MatchStartingBeltTier, ToggleBeltSurfaceHeight, or RememberBeltFreeAngleMode to false under [Building] in BepInEx/config/com.geostyx.dsp.geosbelttweaks.cfg to disable a tweak. In-game configuration changes apply immediately to previews and the surface-height toggle, to the next belt you start for height and tier, and when reopening the belt tool for free-angle mode. After editing the file, reload the configuration or restart the game.

Setting up a development environment

Install the .NET 10 SDK. The mod targets .NET Framework 4.7.2. References restore from NuGet, so no game install is needed to build.

From the mod directory:

bun turbo build

Outputs: bin/Release/net472/GeosBeltTweaks.dll and the validated Thunderstore archive dist/GeosBeltTweaks.zip. Import the zip into a dedicated r2modman profile.

NuGet restores use the committed packages.lock.json in locked mode. When intentionally updating a package reference, regenerate the lock with dotnet restore -p:RestoreLockedMode=false, review both files, then rebuild.

Compatibility and verification

The compile-time baseline is BepInEx 5.4.17, DysonSphereProgram.GameLibs 0.10.34.28347-r.0, and Unity 2022.3.62. In-game behavior is untested.

Before releasing gameplay changes:

• Verify the patched methods against the intended game's assemblies; compile-time reference packages do not establish runtime behavior.
• Load in the test profile and check BepInEx logs for successful startup and patch failures. Exercise each tweak on fresh and existing saves, save/reload, return-to-menu/load-another-save, configuration toggles, and overlapping mods as applicable.
• Record the exact tested game, loader, and overlapping mod versions and results in the release notes.
