I spent two weeks fixing Blackstar's cooldown.
Hey all. Before I begin, I'm sure the majority of the community felt like this and I wanted to post something to help everyone have fun playing the game with Blackstar.
I hit Chapter 11, finally unlocked Blackstar after 70 hours, and immediately felt deflated when I realized I get 10 minutes of flight and then have to sit around for 50 minutes. In a singleplayer game, I felt like that was just unacceptable. Who has time to wait an hour for a feature they wanted to play the game for? It just didn't feel right and I was genuinely about to stop playing the game. So I decided to try and fix it myself. I've never made a mod before & this year I decided I would try to follow my dreams and work towards the skills needed to become a real game developer. It kind of just fell in line with what I want to start working on in life, so I got real passionate & went stir-crazy for two weeks trying to figure this out.
Well... I figured it out lol.
The mod is free, always will be. You can grab it here: https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/356
The only thing that isn't in here is the town dismissal, which I'll work on after moving the mod to full JSON.
If you run into any issues getting it working, I'm happy to help. You can reach me here in the comments, on the Nexus mod page posts section, or on X at hidethelemon. I read everything.
