README

Base Volume Control

Volume sliders for the sounds that never stop at your base. Turn down the shield generator hum, a row of smelters or the crackle of every torch, and keep the rest of the game as loud as before.

Features

  • A separate volume slider (0–100%) for each kind of noisy building
  • Changes apply instantly in game, no restart or relog needed
  • The shield generator hum is muted by default, hits on the dome still play
  • 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

Setting Default What it controls
Enabled true Off plays every sound at normal volume
Shield generator hum 0 The constant hum of the generator and its dome, and the low fuel loop
Shield generator hits 100 Attacks hitting the dome
Smelter 100 Smelter
Blast furnace 100 Blast furnace
Charcoal kiln 100 Charcoal kiln
Eitr refinery 100 Eitr refinery
Spinning wheel 100 Spinning wheel
Windmill 100 Windmill
Fires and torches 100 Campfires, hearths, braziers, torches and sconces
Cooking stations 100 Cooking stations
Other buildings 100 Every other building that makes sound

All volumes are in percent: 0 is silent, 100 is the normal game volume.

Known issues

  • Only buildings are affected. Creatures, weather, music and your own actions keep their usual volume.

По-русски

Ползунки громкости для звуков базы, которые не замолкают: гул защитного купола, плавильни, печи, очиститель эйтира, мельницы, костры и факелы. Нажмите F1 в игре, найдите Base Volume Control и двигайте ползунки. Изменения действуют сразу. Мод клиентский, на сервер его ставить не нужно.

CHANGELOG

v1.2.0

  • Its own settings window, opened from a "Building sounds" button in the pause menu, built from the game's own sliders and buttons
  • Save, Cancel and Reset buttons: changes are heard right away, Save keeps them, Cancel (or Esc) puts them back, and the window says when there are unsaved changes
  • Buildings are grouped, and pointing at a row explains what it does
  • Smooth mouse wheel scrolling anywhere over the list
  • New sliders: forges and tables, frost foundry and kiln, wards, cauldrons, hot tub, carts and sleds, siege engines; the eternal pyre joins fires, bird nests join beehives
  • 8 languages: English, Russian, Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Polish; building names come from the game itself in all of its languages
  • The mute hotkey can be changed right in the window and works even with the mod turned off
  • The window shrinks to fit small screens and large interface scales
  • If a game update breaks one part of the mod, the other parts keep working
  • Old unused settings are cleaned out of the cfg file
  • No longer needs the Configuration Manager
  • New icon

v1.1.0

  • Added sliders for portals, beehives, fermenters, sap extractors, obliterators and ships
  • Added one volume slider for all buildings at once

v1.0.0
