</>What does Cave Sprinter do?
Core Keeper's world keeps growing, and eventually most of your playtime is the walk between the interesting bits. Cave Sprinter hands you a movement speed dial and lets you decide how much of that walk you'd like to keep. Leave it near 1.5x for a gentle nudge that just takes the edge off long corridors, or push it toward 5x when you're hauling ore home for the tenth time and you'd rather be building. The dial is live, so you can dial it back down the moment you're somewhere that needs care. It travels well with Big Breakfast for long expeditions, and with Ore Sense if you're sweeping a biome for a specific vein.

</>Common questions about Cave Sprinter
What does Cave Sprinter do in Core Keeper?
Cave Sprinter gives you a movement speed dial in Core Keeper, adjustable from normal speed all the way up to 5x. Core Keeper's world keeps growing, and eventually a lot of your playtime is just the walk between the interesting bits. Cave Sprinter lets you decide how much of that walk you want to keep. Leave it near 1.5x for a gentle nudge, or push it higher when you're hauling ore home for the tenth time.
How fast can I set the speed multiplier in Cave Sprinter?
The Speed Multiplier slider runs from 1.0, which is normal Core Keeper movement, up to 5.0, which is a blur. Most players find something around 1.5x to 2x keeps the game feeling like Core Keeper while trimming the dead time out of long corridors. The top end is genuinely fast and best saved for crossing ground you've already explored. Cave Sprinter lets you sit anywhere on that range and change your mind whenever you like.
Can I change Cave Sprinter's speed while I'm playing?
Yes. The Speed Multiplier dial in Cave Sprinter is live, so you can push it up while crossing a stretch of Core Keeper you've already cleared and drop it straight back down the moment you're somewhere that needs care — a boss arena, a narrow bridge over a pit, or a room full of things that bite. There's no need to reload the world or restart anything for a new value to take effect.
What does the Faster Feet switch do in Cave Sprinter?
Faster Feet is the master switch for Cave Sprinter. While it's on, your Speed Multiplier applies to your character in Core Keeper; turn it off and you move at the game's normal pace again, with the dial's value remembered for next time. It's handy for keeping the mod set up the way you like without having it on all the time — flip it on for the trip out, flip it off when you arrive.
Which Core Keeper mods pair well with Cave Sprinter?
Cave Sprinter travels well with Big Breakfast, which stops your food meter draining, so a long expedition doesn't get cut short by hunger just because you covered more ground. It also pairs neatly with Ore Sense if you're sweeping a biome for one specific vein — Ore Sense picks the direction, Cave Sprinter gets you there. Diamond Pick rounds it out by making the digging at the far end as quick as the walk was.
What options does Cave Sprinter include?
Faster Feet
Master switch. While it's on, your speed dial applies. Turn it off to go back to normal.
Speed Multiplier
How much faster you move. 1.0 is normal speed, 5.0 is a blur.
Cave Sprinter is a Core Keeper mod from ProjectMods that gives you a live movement speed dial from 1x up to 5x, so the walk between the interesting parts of the cavern stops taking so long.
