This mod provides various QOL fixes and a waypoint mechanic. 

1) TW has a total of 12 loading screen with beautiful artwork. Sadly they load those in a deterministic way. This means an average person won't see much more than 4 or 5. The loading screens will follow the same old pattern every time you reopen the game. And change only after you've seen them once. I randomized them. As a test I've uploaded all 12 of the screens. See how many you have actually seen

2) New waypoint mechanic. Now you can shift+left click on Settlement nameplates (the widget hovering above every settlement) to add them as waypoint and create a rotue you want to follow. Then use `Shift+C` to start traveling on this route. Every time you enter a settlement that waypoint is removed and upon leaving you automatically start travelling towards the next one. This saves much time especially if you are doing trade runs. No more zooming out clicking to settlements after every time you leave one
Change Campaign Fast Forward Speed through hotkeys.

3) Left-clicking on map while in Fast Forward Mode no longer switches to simple Play mode. Keep your Fast Forward Speed

5) Change Campaign Fast Forward Speed through hotkeys.

5) Now you can set StopGameOnFocusLost
to false and set autoPauseInMissionsOnly:true
in QoLFixes.json file provided with the mod to stop the game automatically during battles only. The game option uses the setting for both campaing map and during battles/mission. This allows for alt-tabbing during covering large distances and not stop the game. Useful for people that setup trade runs and what not and don't want the game to autoPause when on Campaing map but only during battles.

6) Also includes my Skip Intro And Character Creation mod. This skips intro/character creation for sandbox mode. useful while modding to have a quick start

7) Also includes my No Pause On Entering Settlement Mod. This removes the auto pause when entering settlements. Furthermore the json file also includes a setting called pauseOnMenuOverlays
which when set to false, removes the pause that occurs when viewing character, inventory, encyclopedia, clan screens as well as overlays like Recruit troops. For overlays like "Recruit Troops" time will continue to progress where as for whole screens like inventory/character, time won't progress but the speed setting will not go back to pause when you exit. This behavior also works with sub-menus. So going back to main menu from "Enter the arena" sub-menu or any other will resume time.

WAYPOINTS EXPLAINED
The waypoint system uses the existing settlement tracking system and UI. However, it's made to co-exist with the original settlement tracking feature. What this means is, you can now track settlements twice. Once through the button manually and once by adding waypoints. Now if you press the track button again, you won't be able to untrack it completely since it's also being tracked as a waypoint. it will only remove it's own version that is the manual tracking. When you enter that settlement and/or clear that waypoint through hotkeys, then and only then will the Track Marker disappear.

What this means is You can have certain settlements like your home tracked manually AND still use them as waypoints. Clearing waypoints through hotkeys or by reaching that settlement WON'T CLEAR YOUR MANUAL TRACKING.

Hotkeys Avaiable

Shift + LMB = Add waypoints (Click on Settlement Nameplate widgets, those half transparent bars that have circular buttons)
Shift + RMB = Remove All waypoints (Click anywhere)
Shift + C = Start Traveling towards the waypoints in order. You can detour and press this again to go back on track
Shift + V = Remove the next waypoint from the "queue". Useful if the current waypoint is being raided or you can't get in.
Shift + Z = Decrease Fast forward Speed Multiplier by 0.5 - capped to 4.
Shift + X = Increase Fast forward Speed Multiplier by 0.5 - uncapped.
