NicheTweaks
Some extremely small tweaks me and my friends complained about at least once and wanted something done about. At least, that was the scope originally. Now this mod now has a lot of requested things from other players. Most tweaks are clientside unless stated otherwise. All tweaks are disabled by default so make sure to check the config, otherwise nothing will happen.
Config
Audio
Silence ringing ear audio from shotgun blast
- If true, silences the ear ringing audio and muffled audio sound effect from shotgun blasts.
Silence lightning static audio
- If true, silences live lightning static that plays from a conductive item being targeted when entering the facility.
Decals
Decal draw distance override
- If true, breaks the decal draw distance and causes decals to always be rendered. Will impact performance, not recommended without LethalSponge.
Compatibility tested with LethalSponge, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to use this mod if you want to use this setting. You can control the decal distance using 'decalDrawDist'. 100 is plenty with the amount of fog in Lethal Company.
Enable footprint pool override
- If true, overrides the number of footprint decals allowed to exist.
Footprint pool size
- Number of footprints that are allowed to be present before the oldest footprints start culling visually. Increasing this will impact performance.
Enable player blood effects
- Enable blood effects when players take damage.
Warning: Not clientside.
QoL
Enable global voice volume slider
Enable dropship pickup delay
- If true, adds a short delay to items dropped by the dropship before they can be grabbed.
This solely exists because grabbing an item too fast out of a dropship causes the item to bug out. Not much testing done, please let me know if this affects anything beyond dropship items.
Dropship pickup delay time
Enable teleporter item pickup block
Remove landmine invisible bump
- Removes the invisible bump left by landmines after exploding.
Ship
Disable leftover charge station scan node
- If true, hides the leftover scan node of the charge station inside the ship. This only affects cases where moving the station in build mode leaves a stranded scan node.

Extra info

- Doesn't update every frame
Hide HUD at terminal

Flooded is missing a visor overlay called helmet condensation, which is present during rainy or stormy weather if you look up in the rain.

Hide control tips from HUD
- If true, hides the control tip labels (top right of HUD).
Customise control tip item name
- If true, enables replacing of item control tip text.
This was originally created to change the control tip text to match the scan node texts, but now you can just make it anything you want instead. Check the config for more info on how to use this.
This also toggles a fix for stun grenade and homemade flashbang control tips changing unexpectedly.
Visuals

Disable custom VFX on moons
Disable local player shadow

Enable texture fix for toy cube
- If true, changes the texture of Toy cube (rubix cube) scrap to a texture of a rubix cube that is actually solvable.

This exists to prevent the visible pop-in to your liking. Increasing this will decrease performance.

Known issues
- The ghosting dropship item issue can persist. It is still being investigated, right now the only confirmation about this is that it is NOT present in vanilla - so another mod is causing it. I have yet to narrow this down to what mod, though...
Future plans (hopefully)
- Screenshots for README
- Swap from imgur to catbox
- Jetpack + security doors in factory - isolated potential causes but no specifics
