Techtonica

Vielleicht kennt ja jemand diesen Titel, welcher eine Mischung aus Satisfactory und Deep Rock Galactic darstellt.
Ihr bekommt vollen Motion Controller Support, Multiplayer und das sogar kostenlos.

Das ganze kommt von dem deutschen Modder Xenira und ist auf Github und Thunderstore zu finden.

Setup
You can install the mod from Thunderstore or install it manually:

BepInEx

Download the latest 5.x release of BepInEx from the Releases page.

Extract the downloaded archive into the game’s installation directory.

Run the game once. BepInEx should be installed automatically.

VR Mod

Download the latest release (v1.0.0) of this mod from the Releases page.

Extract the downloaded archive.

Copy the BepInEx and Techtonica_Data folders to the Techtonica folder in steamapps/common directory.

Run the game. The mod should be loaded automatically by BepInEx.

Dependencies
The github release bundles the dependencies with the mod. The thunderstore release does not include the dependencies. You need to install them separately or use a mod manager that can install dependencies.

TTIK (Required)
This mod requires the TTIK mod to be installed. This mod adds inverse kinematics (IK) to the game. This is required to render the player’s body in VR. It also allows both VR and non-VR players to see the player’s body movements. When playing co-op, the host needs to have this mod installed. For other non-VR players the mod is optional.

PiUtils (Required)
This mod requires the PiUtils mod to be installed. This mod provides some utility functions that are used by the VR mod.

Audio Fix (Optional)
Teleport and Snap turn have audio cues that are not played unless Tobey.UnityAudio is installed. You can install it from Thunderstore or the GitHub Releases page.

To manually install the UnityAudio extract the BepInEx folder from the downloaded archive into the game’s installation directory.

Disabling the Mod
To disable the mod change the Enabled under [General] value in the de.xenira.techtonica.cfg file in the BepInEx/config folder to false.

Uninstalling the Mod
To uninstall the mod remove the mod’s files from the BepInEx/plugins folder. This should be the following files:

'techtonica_vr' folder

If you installed the audio fix, remove the BepInEx/patches/Tobey/UnityAudio and BepInEx/plugin/Tobey/UnityAudio folder from the game’s installation directory.

There will be some leftover files in the Techtonica_Data folder. To clean those up, delete the folder and verify the game’s files in Steam. This will redownload the game’s files and remove any leftover files. This is not strictly necessary but it will keep your game folder clean.

Current State
While the mod is in a playable state, it is still in early development. Some features are still missing and there are some known issues. Other things might be a little yanky or not work as expected.

Working

Rendering of the game world with 6DOF Tracking

Tracking of the player’s head and hands

Smooth locomotion and turning

Comfort options (Teleportation, Snap turning, Vignette)

Basic controller bindings (Although they might not be optimal)

Controller haptics

Smooth turning

UI

IK with coop support (TTIK)

Missing

Gesture support (e.g. Mining using pickaxe motion)

Model for the player’s body. Currently not a priority as this requires IK.

Default bindings for VR controllers other than the Valve Index Controllers (#16, #17)

Object outlines. Disabled for now as the shader is broken in VR.

Finger tracking (#15)

Ability to switch primary hand

Ability to yeet paladin down the waterfall

Hand crank using uhhhhh… hands?

Known Issues

Haptics are played on both controllers by the game. One improvement would be to play them on the hand that is actually holding the tool.

The game is locked to 60fps when running in windowed mode. This is based on the refresh rate of your monitor. To unlock the framerate, switch to fullscreen mode. (#10)

Cool stuff to try

Tobii eye tracking for dynamic foveated rendering

Q&A

Why is my framerate locked to 60fps?
The game is locked to x fps when running in Windowed mode. This is based on the refresh rate of your monitor. To unlock the framerate, switch to fullscreen mode. (For now)

I am experiencing periodic stuttering / freezes. What can I do?
This is most likely caused by autosave. Try setting the autosave interval to a higher value using the AutoSaveConfig mod.

The games performance is bad. What can I do?
Try lowering the graphics settings. VR is very demanding and the game is not optimized for VR. While I am working on improving the performance, there is only so much I can do.

Does this mod work with Gamepass?
Yes, the mod needs to be installed in Gamepass/Techtonica/Content.

Why is the mod not open source?
It is. You are looking at the source right now (duh!).

Why is the mod not on NexusMods?
I don’t like NexusMods. I don’t like their ToS and I don’t like their mod manager. I don’t want to support them.
