Uter the Porter
Tired of the long walk home? Died somewhere awful and can't face the trek back to your stuff? Call Uter, a grumpy Dverger porter. He appears beside you, puts you on his back, and runs you there, grumbling (and making questionable ride-app jokes) the whole way. When the ride's over he runs off into the distance and vanishes until you call again.
How to use it
Type in chat:
| Say | What happens |
|---|---|
Uter, take me home |
He carries you home (your bed, unless you've set somewhere else). |
Uter, take me to my grave |
He carries you to your nearest gravestone. Also: gravestone, tomb, body. |
Uter, this is home |
Makes the spot you're standing on "home" in this world. |
Uter, use my bed |
Home goes back to being your bed. |
Press Jump at any time to climb off. He'll leave either way.
You can also set hotkeys for both rides in the config (unset by default).
What he does
- Plans the whole route before setting off, like a sat-nav: round lakes and along coastlines, avoiding deep water, lava and cliffs. If something blocks the way, he plans again.
- Sprints (30% faster than a normal run, adjustable) and jumps over logs, rocks and low walls.
- Ignores everything on the way: monsters, loot, the lot. He's a professional.
- Can't be hurt, so a ride never ends with a dead porter dropping you in a swamp.
- Grumbles. "Is that your knee in my kidney, or have you brought a hammer?" Turn it off in the config if you'd rather ride in peace.
- Tells you plainly when he can't help: no bed set, no gravestone, a gravestone inside a dungeon, or no way over land (islands: you'll have to sail).
Multiplayer
Entirely client-side. Only the player who wants rides needs the mod: not the server, not your friends. Nobody is ever refused a server because of it. Players without the mod can't see Uter, so to them you'll appear to be sitting in mid-air, zooming across the map. Which is, frankly, the best part.
Each player calls their own Uter, and only the player who called him can ride.
Config
BepInEx/config/com.wpkenny.uterporter.cfg (or the in-game F1 menu with Configuration Manager):
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| General / Name | Uter |
What he's called (and the name you start chat commands with). The jokes follow the name. |
| Hotkeys / TakeMeHome | none | Key to call him for a ride home. |
| Hotkeys / TakeMeToMyGrave | none | Key to call him for a ride to your gravestone. |
| Ride / SpeedBoost | 1.3 |
How much faster than a normal run he goes with you aboard. |
| Ride / Grumbling | true |
His remarks during the ride. |
| Ride / SeatHeight, SeatBehind | 0.75, -0.18 |
Where you sit on his back. |
Notes
- He won't go into dungeons, and won't carry you if you're already sitting on something (a chair, a cart, a lox).
- "Home" without a bed: sleep in a bed once, or use
Uter, this is home.
