Rapid Mode
[b]Introduction[/b]
Frustrated by infrequent quest spawns and slow progress? Don't want to wait around during meaningless downtime? This mod offers a "Turbo Mode" gameplay style, allowing you to advance your colony at 2x, 3x, or even 5x speed.
Note: This "speed" is not just time passing faster. It fundamentally shortens waiting times and boosts game pacing through Scenario Editor properties and a specialized Storyteller that controls quest spawn frequencies.
At higher speed settings, your colonists will move, work, and heal faster. Correspondingly, the frequency of raids and quests will also accelerate. It is perfect for players who want a fast-paced experience.
