Updated 12/06/25: Updated to 1.6

Features:

- Enables ultra fast speed without developer mode
- Adds ultra speed icon
- Allows you to set Event speed multiplier by right clicking the speed arrows. Event speed multiplier defines at which speed the game should run when an event happens. The vanilla game locks you at normal speed during hostile events (eg. combat). This setting is preserved through save/load.
- Mod options to configure the multiplier for each of the four speeds

Event Speed Mode

- Right click on speed control UI
- Slow : x0.5 speed (half of normal speed)
- Normal : x1 speed (default setting)
- Fast : x2 speed (twice normal speed)
- Half : Half of current game speed
- Ignore : Ignore force event speed

Incompatibilities

It has been reported that No Forced Slowdown produces an incompatibility

FAQ

Q: This mod doesn't make my game run faster, what gives?
A: Smart Speed is not a performance mod, what it does is it unlocks (and let's you configure) the speed at which the game runs when you press the speed arrows. If you mod can't run at 1000 TPS, setting speed x4 to 3600 won't magically make it run faster.

Original mod created by AlcoholV. Maintained in B18 by Kartel'.

Huge thanks to Bradson and Wiri for helping me optimize the code further.

@Fernando Harmony on Mac needs Rimworld to specifically be opened with Rosetta instead of running in ARM native mode. This is new in 1.6 as they swapped to a new Unity version that supports ARM while Harmony isn't there yet.

What a bummer I can't setup the custom speed, the 4th choice, to also ignore the event slowdown. But is a great mod nonetheless. :girlhand:

If it's a MacOS problem, you should report it to Ludeon, that's what the beta is for!

I can't test on a Mac, as I don't have one, and would rather impale myself in a rusty fork than buying one hahaha

@Sarg Simple Sidearms also doesn’t work, and it depends on Harmony too, so I guess the problem is with Harmony.
Fernando 16 Jun @ 9:33am 
@Sarg I uninstalled it and tried the latest version, but the same problem occurs. I also tried the No Pause Challenge mod, which is supposed to increase the speed, but it doesn’t work either. Even the icons aren't showing. I guess it must be something related to macOS incompatibilities.

@Fernando: Looks like an outdated or corrupted version of Harmony

for some reason the x4 speed icon isn't there for me, is there any mods that could cause this?

AzoorFox is a troll who's currently spamming half the RimWorld workshop with the same line. Better to just block them and carry on with one's day.
