Physics rigidbody.addforce

I've got an object that I'm trying to accelerate along a horizontal plane. Adding mass to the object doesn't seem to have any effect on its acceleration. Is there a way to add force so that mass is automatically taken into account, or do I have to do the calculations regarding mass manually before hand?

Have you tried to change the force mode when calling AddForce (2nd argument)

But I believe the default mode is the one you are looking for. $$anonymous$$aybe you apply too much force, or the object is not heavy enough?

Thanks for the response @Hellium. I hadn't tried using the different force modes but I gave it a shot after reading your suggestion.

After a bit more testing it turns out the problem wasn't physics related, it was an issue on my end. I had adjusted the mass variable I was using but never assigned it back to the rigidbody. Blah :(
