Movement and inventory
By default, walking or opening inventory at 4x or 8x reduces speed to 2x. Set MovementInventoryMaxSpeed to 1 to turn fast-forward off during those activities, or 8 to allow all speeds up to MaxSpeed. Stopping movement or closing inventory keeps the reduced speed. Press F7 to increase it again. While moving or viewing inventory, F7 cycles only through the allowed speeds. Looking around, steering, adjusting sails and being carried along by your boat do not trigger the movement limit unless you also press a movement control.
During play
- Fast-forward continues while alt-tabbed and during normal island loading.
- Opening the pause menu cancels fast-forward. Inventory/stats uses your configured limit instead.
- Autosaves keep your current speed unless
CancelOnAutosaveis enabled. - Loading a save and entering bed cancel fast-forward. Turn it on again when you're ready.
- Pause and sleep work as usual. Food, water and rest continue to drain during accelerated sailing.
Higher speeds require more performance from your system. Lower MaxSpeed if the game struggles.
