Base Volume Control
Volume and hearing range sliders for the noise of your base: shield hum, portals, smelters, kilns, windmills, beehives, fires and more. A hotkey mutes it all. Live in game via Configuration Manager (F1). Client-side.Base Volume Control
Volume and hearing range sliders for the sounds that never stop at your base. Turn down the shield generator hum, quiet a row of smelters or make the portals audible only up close, and keep the rest of the game as loud as before.
Features
- A volume slider (0–100%) and a hearing range slider (10–100%) for each kind of noisy building
- One slider for all buildings at once, on top of the separate ones
- A hotkey (Scroll Lock by default) that silences every building sound and brings it back
- Changes apply instantly in game, no restart or relog needed
- The shield generator hum is muted by default, hits on the dome still play
- Setting names in Russian when the game runs in Russian, in English otherwise
- Client-side only: install it just for yourself, the server and other players don't need it
How to use
Press F1 in game to open the Configuration Manager, find Base Volume Control and move the sliders.
You can also edit BepInEx/config/BaseVolumeControl.cfg. It is created after the first launch.
Configuration
General
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Enabled | true | Off plays every sound at normal volume and range |
| All buildings volume | 100 | Volume of every building sound, on top of each building's own slider |
| Mute hotkey | ScrollLock | Silences every building sound, press again to bring them back |
Each building has its own section with two sliders:
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | 100 | Volume in percent: 0 is silent, 100 is the normal game volume |
| Hearing range | 100 | How far it can be heard, in percent of the normal distance |
Buildings with their own section: shield generator hum (volume 0 by default), shield generator hits, portals, smelter, blast furnace, charcoal kiln, eitr refinery, spinning wheel, windmill, beehives, fermenters, sap extractors, obliterators, ships, fires and torches, cooking stations, and other buildings.
Known issues
- Only buildings are affected. Creatures, weather, music and your own actions keep their usual volume.
- Settings from version 1.0.0 are not carried over, because each building now has its own section. Set them again after updating.
По-русски
Ползунки громкости и дальности слышимости для звуков базы, которые не замолкают: гул защитного купола, порталы, плавильни, печи, мельницы, ульи, костры и факелы. Есть общий ползунок для всех построек и клавиша Scroll Lock, которая глушит всю базу разом. Нажмите F1 в игре, найдите Base Volume Control и двигайте ползунки. Если игра на русском, названия настроек тоже на русском. Изменения действуют сразу. Мод клиентский, на сервер его ставить не нужно.
