Sawyer Surge Barriers
Howdy! Sawyer Surge Barriers is an environment mod based on the IRL surge barriers that help to protect inland towns and coastal areas from flooding during large storms. The in-game ones unfortunately dont have any effect, but their mostly lag-free existence provide a nice sight to see.
This environment mod includes a total of 5 barriers, consisting of 4 swing gates and 1 roller barrier. Both types are based off of their real life counterparts but, ofc, changed to fit into SW.
These barriers are programmed to close during high winds. The smaller side raise barriers close when the wind is over 15m/s. The larger barriers, which can be overridden, normally operate when the wind is over 25m/s.
The barriers will sound a long horn blast when operation is about to start. A few moments after the horn stops, the barriers will roll or swing into the closed position. The roller barrier likes to get stuck unfortunately, but should dislodge itself after a bit.
The style of this build is meant to fit into the SW world. It also provides a nice lag-free build (atleast for me) that can be used in your world without any considerable sacrifices.
This creation comes with added AI ocean pathing nodes for boats. You dont need to enable or disable any other mods for them. Unfortunately I havent been able to ensure that they work so please let me know!
