You have a variety of ways to travel from one point to another in Horizon Zero Dawn. You can run, ride certain machines, fast travel, and at specific points, climb. Sometimes, it can be hard to find a spot to climb when it is your only option, but the game won't let you find a spot to get down quickly.

Falling is almost always a nice option, as long as you can survive. Make it easier for yourself to get down from places where you don't see a path by removing the fall damage, so you can drop without a scratch.

This mod improves the spawn rate, so you don't aimlessly stumble around for that boar or whatever animal you need to complete the upgrade. It is not overly abundant, but enough for you to see an improvement and get what you need quicker.

When you play an open-world game, you think of a few elements that should be included. One of those is a day/night cycle. If you ever wanted to increase the duration of daytime, you have a mod for that.

You have three settings to increase how long the days can be - two times longer, four times, or eight times. Doubling the duration is an hour and 20 minutes, quadruple the length lasts two hours and 40 minutes, and going eight times is five hours and 20 minutes. If you have something that is day-specific, then you have the option to get everything done with less stress about night rolling up on you.
