How easy is it to edit a mod?

I just wanna simply change the max speed of a vehicle (GoldenFactoryCart), to like 200 kmph... :P

Content in Unreal Engine games is baked, like a cake; you can't change the ingredients after it is done. To modify content you need its source, to rebake it, or to use a mod like ContentLib that can affect it at runtime. Read the docs to learn more.

That does sound hilarious, though!

I hate that explanation but if it's a one way compile then damn Do you know how to use content lib to do this or would i just have to tinker?

I don't think contentlib would be able to do this one

You seem to have questions about modding. You should grab the Aspiring Modder role from Discord's role selection page (<id:customize>) and then read the docs carefully (https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/index.html#_for_developers). If you still have questions after that, please go to #help-writing-mods!

how easy would it be to make a mod to make carts in general faster?

lol there was someone around a while back who was desperate to take commissions but I dunno if a fiver would do it You'll probably get better luck putting it in #ideas-discussion and hoping someone does it for the lols

i might also just f**l it and just stay with the mod bc it's not the end of the world. context: 5. factory carts as only mode of vehicle personal transport

depends on how the speed is normally specified, I've heard vehicles are kinda weird take a look at what is visible with Content Inspector there's a mini tutorial for that in the contentlib docs also someone made a mod like this in the past and open sourced it, you could potentially look at how they did it https://ficsit.app/mod/FastFactoryCart

I assume you tried out this mod.. what does it actually do? the base game already has a golden cart: https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Factory_Cart#Golden-0
Official Satisfactory Wiki
Factory Cart
ClassicGolden The FICSIT Factory Cart™ (sometimes just Factory Cart or Golf Cart) is a vehicle used to transport pioneers within factories. Its special Grip Wheels ensure swift speedup and braking at the cost of insane drift on uneven surfaces (despite the description claiming "Foundation-only grip"

I assume it increases the cart's top speed from 50->70 and that's it?

the golden factory cart mod increases it to 75, makes it offroad and underwater capable
