Description
This is for those people who like hearing battle sounds loud while not being deafened by their grinder, welder and most of all drill.

This mod reduces the volume of hand tools, ship tools, weather, doors, placement sounds and a few others that often feel deafening, while leaving the explosions booming, gatlings cracking and letting you hear a little bit more of the atmospheric sounds (though not the deafening rain).

For everyone who loves a good action movie, but doesn't feel that mining is action, this one's for you!


A big thank you to Remaarn for writing this one, all I did was pick which sounds and how much to reduce the volume, he did everything else :)



Disclaimer: I love the game sounds and I don't think there's anything wrong with the volume of the tools, they make sense, it's realistic they'd be almost deafening. What I wanted here was something inherently unrealistic that would help me with making my videos so I didn't have to edit these volumes after recording.

This mod only works for the Arcade sound profile, it won't make any impact on realistic.

Should be fixed now, if reloading your save doesn't work, try restarting SE to get Steam to trigger the update :)

does that error cause the sounds to not work?

Curses! I should know better than to post an update just before I go to bed. I'll fix this up as soon as I can 🙂
