SidePannel’s QOL optimization module

Reduced walking speed, scout reveal animation, and combat animation. Only the critical hit animation remains unchanged. It comes with a skull key at the start, which can open the prank treasure chest. After the mission is over, items purchased or found for the expedition will be returned at 50% of their cost, instead of the original 5-10%. Removed hero level restrictions.

SidePannel's QOL Mods

🎮 **Welcome to this optimization mod designed to improve the game experience of "Darkest Dungeon"! ** This mod focuses on reducing unnecessary waiting time and adjusting some game mechanics so that you can focus more on strategy and adventure.

✨ Core Functions

• **Animation acceleration**: The hero's **walking speed**, **recon reveal animation** and **normal combat animation** are greatly reduced to make the game rhythm smoother. However, in order to retain the thrill of combat, the **crit animation** has been completely retained!
• **Starting bonus**: When the game starts, your team will **bring a skeleton key**, which means you can immediately open those tempting "prank treasure chests" on the map without having to search for the key.
• **Economic adjustment**: After the mission, items purchased or found for the expedition** will be returned at **50%** of the original cost, which is much higher than the pitiful 5-10% of the original version, greatly reducing the pressure on your resource management.
• **Free Dispatch**: **Removed hero level restrictions**! Now you can send any hero on any difficulty mission. Play at your own risk, of course - if the hero is too weak, they might remain in darkness forever.
• **Mission Replay**: After completing the main story mission, you can **replay** any mission **unlimited times, so that you can gain resources or challenge yourself.
• **Team expansion**: The roster limit has been increased by 50 positions**, allowing you to form more reserve teams to meet different challenges. This modification does not involve any Stagecoach files to maximize compatibility with other mods.

📥 Installation Guide

• **Download** and unzip the module compressed package.
• **Drag and drop** the folder in the compressed package into the `mods` folder in your "Darkest Dungeon" game directory.
