[Mod Request] Disable Alt + F4

[Barik Morloc]

I like playing on perma-death but I feel it is too easy to just press alt +f4 when something goes wrong. Anyway anyone can make a mod to disable it?

You know you could just not use it? It's fairly simple to not press alt + f4, hell i do it myself.

You don't need a mod for this, download AutoHotkey and write in the script file

Code Select Expand

!F4::Return
This simple script will temporarily disable Alt+F4 for all programs, you can also command to use this block only when run a specific program, or simply suspend the block when you don't need it:  click File > Suspend Hotkeys in AutoHotkey

Or he just could delete the old safegame manualy after he start the game.
When he leave the game with alt-f4 or with a crash, his colony is lost.

But seriously when someone play permadeath and think about such methods to cheat, why does he even start a permadeath game ?

Becuase I enjoy the excitement that every action is permanent and there is no going back. If you know there is a way out of that though it diminishes the excitement. FTL, for example, disabled ALT F4 and knowing I couldn't undo made the game very enjoyable. I guess gaming a long time, I learned to recognize weaknesses in systems in a game and taking advantage of it. Usually, I don't exploit systems outside of the gameplay and mechanics itself but with this game, the storyteller AI can be very random in it's events that I feel a bit cheated so I am more inclined to press ALT F4 because it's so easy to do and feels somewhat justified. I know it isn't though and that is why I asked for a mod that disables ALT F4
