</>What does Speed Tuner do?
Speed Tuner puts your boat's pace in your hands. Slide the move speed up to tear across the Marrows instead of chugging between islands, or ease it down for slow, atmospheric sailing. A second slider controls how sharply you turn, so you can make the boat feel nimble and responsive or heavy and deliberate. Set your two sliders, hit Apply Speed, and the change takes hold right away. Cut long fishing trips down to size, get to that far marker before the storm rolls in, or just make steering feel the way you always wished it did. Switch the mod off any time and your boat goes right back to its normal factory feel.
</>What is Speed Tuner?
Speed Tuner puts your DREDGE boat's pace and handling in your hands. One slider controls movement speed so you can tear across the Marrows or ease into atmospheric cruising. A second slider adjusts turning sharpness for nimble, responsive steering or a heavier, more deliberate feel. Set both sliders and tap Apply Speed for an immediate change. Cut long voyages short, make steering feel exactly right, or slow down for scenic sailing. Switch the mod off to restore factory handling. Available through ProjectMods.
</>Common questions about Speed Tuner
What does Speed Tuner do in DREDGE?
Speed Tuner is a DREDGE mod from ProjectMods that gives you direct control over how your boat moves and handles. Two sliders let you adjust your movement speed and turning sharpness independently. Crank the speed up to cross the Marrows in a fraction of the normal time, or ease it down for slow, atmospheric sailing. Tighten the turning for nimble, responsive control through tight passages, or loosen it for a heavier, more deliberate feel on the open water. Set your sliders and tap Apply Speed to make the change take effect immediately.
How do the speed and turning sliders work in Speed Tuner?
Speed Tuner provides two independent sliders. The movement speed slider scales how fast your boat travels through the water. At higher values you cover ground dramatically faster, turning long voyages into quick trips. At lower values you slow down below the game's default pace, which some players prefer for immersive sailing. The turning sharpness slider controls how quickly your boat responds to directional input. Higher values make the boat feel light and nimble, snapping into turns quickly. Lower values give a heavier, more realistic feel where the boat takes time to come around. Set both and tap Apply Speed.
Can I make my DREDGE boat faster than the best engine upgrade?
Yes. Speed Tuner's speed slider is not capped at the game's maximum engine tier. You can push your boat well beyond what even the best in-game engine upgrade would allow. This is particularly useful for players who have already fully upgraded their boat but still find the pace too slow for the distances the Marrows demand. It is also great for players who want high-speed travel without spending the money and time required to unlock the top engine tiers through normal gameplay. The exact speed is yours to set, from a slight bump to a dramatic increase.
Does Speed Tuner affect how my boat handles in tight spaces?
The turning sharpness slider directly affects your handling in tight spaces. If you find your boat sluggish when navigating narrow channels, rocky passages, or the tight approaches to certain docks, increasing the turning sharpness makes the boat respond more quickly to your steering input. This can be the difference between cleanly threading a gap and scraping a rock. Conversely, if you find the boat too twitchy at high speeds, dialling the turning down gives you a smoother, more predictable feel that is easier to manage during fast straight-line runs across open water.
Can I return my boat to normal speed after using Speed Tuner?
Yes. Switch Speed Tuner off through the ProjectMods launcher and your boat immediately returns to its normal factory-default speed and handling, exactly as the game intended based on your current engine and hull upgrades. You can also adjust the sliders back to their default positions and tap Apply Speed to get the same result while keeping the mod active. This makes it easy to switch between fast travel for covering distances and normal sailing for sections where you want the authentic DREDGE pace. No restart or save reload required.
