Better Controls for HUD, Clock, Chat, and FPS with Addition Hotkeys

FEATURES 📃

👉 UI/HUD

You can toggle on and off the visibility of all UI/HUD elements on the screen, with the push of a hotkey that you can set.

Default Hotkey: Keypad7

👉 FPS

Adds a FPS counter to the top right corner of the screen that is simple and small. You can toggle it on and off with the push of a hotkey that you can set. It's off by default.

Default Hotkey: Keypad8

By default, a player can only see the time of day when outside on a moon. With the push of a key, this toggles the clocks visibility when you're inside a facility, mansion, or ship between 0% visibility (vanilla) and 30% visibility. By default it's 0% visibility (vanilla) until you turn it on with hotkey.

Changes the chat area to fade out when not being used. It will appear again if you receive or want to send a message. The chat area is affected when you toggle the hotkey for UI/HUD visibility.

👉 FRAME RATE

Set Target Frame Rate to 500 and turn vSync OFF with a config setting. default: false

👉 SMOOTH CLOCK

Smooth the speed of time on the clock with a config setting. default: true
