Capitalism Mod

Movement, attack, and presence all consume runes. If the runes reach zero, you will get stuck or die.

Capitalism Mod

🎯 Core Functions

This is a highly customizable mod that consumes runes whenever you move, consume stamina, take damage, deal damage, or simply exist (passively drained over time). You can also configure the consequences of running out of runes: being unable to move, unable to use stamina, unable to attack, or instantly dead.

💡 Design Concept

This mod uses runes as a metaphor for primitive capital accumulation, motivating players to act for the sake of hoarding and capital accumulation, even at the expense of reasonable game behavior. Mod mechanics are somewhat similar to real-world microtransactions and in-game currency applications.

Metaphors aside, this mod is designed to provide a **fun challenging experience**!

• After loading the game, actions such as movement and attack will consume runes. When the runes return to zero, you will be unable to act.

⚙️ Configuration instructions

Edit the `Capitalism_config.ini` file in the `dll` directory to customize:

• Which actions consume runes?
• Consequences when runes are exhausted
• Most settings take effect in the game immediately after saving

Each setting in the configuration file is described in detail, and most can be managed with simple true/false switches.

If `enableOverlay` is true in the configuration, the game will start a web server that displays an enlarged rune counter and details the difference when runes are gained or lost.
