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

Each building has its own section with two sliders:

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.

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
