GapCloser

Closes the gaps other mods leave. Portals without the wait, a recipe bug of AzuCraftyBoxes fixed and cleaned up, other mods' errors guarded.

Made for my own play and my own modpack, not a fix-all. Each fix turns on only for the game and mod versions it was checked against (game 1.0.20). Otherwise it stays off and the log says why, unless you turn on ForceOnUntestedVersions.

More fixes may come over time, for the gaps I find in the mods I play with.

What it does

• Fast portals. A 0.25 s fade, and you arrive as soon as the destination is loaded. The game waits at least 8 s on every portal trip.
• Forge of Potential fix (AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19). An upgrade there no longer teaches every recipe you have the station for.
• Recipe cleanup. Removes the recipes a character could not have learned, after a backup. Runs on world entry when AzuCraftyBoxes is installed.
• Other mods' errors guarded. ValheimPlus 0.10.3.0 breeding and tame hover, AzuCraftyBoxes 1.8.19 fermenter.
• Game fixes. No warning spam from stakes, and the recipe discovery check once a frame instead of on every inventory change.

Measured in my game

• Portals: between the floors of my castle 0.22 to 0.26 s. To far bases that were not loaded (0.4 to 5.9 km) 2.2 to 5.9 s on an SSD.
• Recipe cleanup: 130 wrongly learned recipes removed from a test character, with a backup.
• Errors: 7 to 10 errors from other mods per play session before, none after.
• A big castle (about 6,000 building pieces), together with ValheimCommunityPatch (its performance fixes on, its gameplay changes off): average frame from 20.3 to about 17 ms, stutters over 40 ms from 9 to under 3 a minute, building upkeep from 2.9 to 0.9 ms a frame. Most of that is ValheimCommunityPatch's building upkeep fix. GapCloser adds what it does not cover.

Console command

gapcloser_fixrecipes lists the recipes the character could not have learned (all of them in LogOutput.log). gapcloser_fixrecipes apply backs up the character and removes them. In chat, type /gapcloser_fixrecipes with the slash.

A Steam Cloud character gets the game's own backup, a local one a copy in BepInEx/config/GapCloser_backups. A removed recipe comes back the normal way once you know its materials.

Config

The file is BepInEx/config/onononoki.GapCloser.cfg. Every fix can be switched off on its own.

Compatibility

• Client side. Nothing to install on the server, and other players do not need it.
• AzuCraftyBoxes and ValheimPlus are not needed. Their fixes switch on only when the checked version is installed.
• Made to run next to ValheimCommunityPatch.
• After a game update the game fixes stay off until a new version of GapCloser checks them, or until you turn on ForceOnUntestedVersions.
