Description:

NB! If someone is experiencing issues regarding the v0.20.0 release you can manually install the previous one (v0.19.0) from here: https://github.com/victorpopkov/dst-mod-keep-following/releases/download/v0.19.0/steam-workshop.zip

Default Keys
Actions
Shift + LMB

To stop following either use WASD movement keys, SPACEBAR action key or click LMB.

You can also use the above key combinations on a Tent/Siesta Lean-to used by another player to keep following or pushing him.

Why I can’t move while being pushed?

Cause: lag compensation (movement prediction) is enabled
Solution: disable the lag compensation (movement prediction)

First of all, I’m sorry to hear that. Most likely you have run into this issue when someone was using this mod for "trolling" purposes. This is very sad that there are people with such mentality and I’m strongly against using this mod for such low purposes. I can’t control the people’s behaviour and the tool itself is not the problem here.

If you run into this issue, disabling the lag compensation (movement prediction) should solve this issue.

Keep Moving

Some people have been messaging me about the KeepMoveOrFollow mod and requesting the feature to keep moving by holding an action key.

Even though both mods have some similarities, this mod has not been originated from the mentioned one. If that was the case, I would mention that since the beginning. I’m not planning to add the “keep moving” functionality since from an engineering perspective it’s a completely different feature, unlike the following/pushing case.

But if you still think that you lack the “keep moving” functionality, let me know in the comments below and I’ll create a separate mod for that with some additional features.

Contributions & Development

Any contribution to the project is highly appreciated no matter if this is a new feature addition or just a small typo fix.
