FountainOfYouthFOV
A quality-of-life BepInEx mod for Survival Fountain of Youth. Adjustable camera FOV, campfire fuel tuning, repair durability tuning, tank capacity override, and unrestricted building placement — all with keyboard and controller hotkeys.
Features
- Camera FOV slider — set a base field of view (clamped 40–150), with live hotkey adjustment in ±5 steps. Applies to all active
FOVControllercameras and re-applies automatically whenever a config value changes. - Campfire fuel multiplier — multiplies fuel added to any campfire, whether from direct use or item pickup (default 3x).
- Repair durability loss multiplier — scales durability lost on hand-tool repairs (default 0 = no loss on repair). Does not apply to raft/vessel repairs, which use a separate, unpatched game system.
- Tank capacity override — sets a fixed capacity on resource tanks (default 100), independent of vanilla per-item capacity values.
- Always-suitable building — forces building placement ghosts to show green/valid and lets you complete placement regardless of terrain/overlap restrictions.
- Super User UI toggle — show/hide the game's Super User debug panel.
- Full keyboard hotkeys plus Xbox and DualSense controller combo bindings (modifier + button), configurable in the BepInEx config file.

Compatibility
- Requires BepInEx (Legacy-Modding-BepInExPack_SFOY-5.4.2333).
- Should be compatible with most other mods; it does not replace any UI, only reads/writes existing controller and building components.
Known limitations
- Repair durability multiplier only affects hand-tool item repairs, not raft/vessel repairs.
- Controller bindings currently support Xbox and PlayStation (DualSense/DualShock) input methods only, matching the game's own supported input methods.
Installation
Install via Gale mod manager, or manually:
- Install BepInEx for Survival Fountain of Youth.

Uninstallation
Delete FountainOfYouthFOV.dll from BepInEx/plugins/ and (optionally) FountainOfYouthFOV.cfg from BepInEx/config/.
