Configurable Quota

Configurable Quota

Allows users to configure every aspect of the quota the way they want.

Features

• Configure starting credits, starting quota and deadline
• Configure curved quota growth with sharpness and randomizer
• Configure growth dampening which slows down quota increases the longer you play
• Configure player count scaling with threshold, cap and per player multiplier
• Configure rollover which transfers any extra fulfilment to the next quota
• Configure randomized deadline with a min and max day range
• Configure deadline days that grow with the quota by credit interval or by exact thresholds
• Configure credit penalties when crew members die
• Configure quota penalties when crew members die
• Configure randomly lost scrap items on a full crew wipe
• Configure reduced scrap value on full crew wipe
• Configure randomly lost purchased equipment on a full crew wipe
• Configure the Company buy rate with min/max clamp, random rate, last day override and jackpot rolls
• Configure dynamic interior size that scales with player count
• Configure dynamic scrap value with player-count scaling (solo or full lobby can be boosted)
• Configure dynamic scrap item count with player-count scaling
• Configure dynamic enemy power that scales with player count
• Configure new quota animation speed
• Disable quota entirely, deadline monitor then reads NEVER
• __LethalConstellations__ compatibility with per-constellation deadline modes _[ fixed, random or use global ]_

Configuration Options

• Basic

• Starting Credits - Credits you start with on a new game
• Starting Quota - First quota value on a new game
• Days To Deadline - Days per quota. Ignored when RandomizeDeadline is on
• Randomize Deadline - Pick a random deadline length each quota using the min/max below. Also used by constellations in Use Global mode
• Deadline Min - Minimum days when random deadline is enabled
• Deadline Max - Maximum days when random deadline is enabled
• Deadline Must Change - Forces the next random deadline to differ from the previous one
• Enable Deadline Bonus - Adds extra deadline days as the quota grows
• Deadline Bonus Per Quota - Credits of quota needed per extra day. 1000 gives +1 day at 1000. REQUIRES EnableDeadlineBonus
• Deadline Bonus Thresholds - Exact quota values that each grant one day, comma separated. Overrides interval whenever it is set. REQUIRES EnableDeadlineBonus
• Deadline Bonus Max - Maximum days the bonus can add. 0 for no limit. REQUIRES EnableDeadlineBonus
• Base Increase - Base amount the quota goes up each quota
• Curve Sharpness - Controls how fast the quota scales. Higher = slower growth
• Randomizer Multiplier - Adds variation to quota increases. 0 = no randomness, 1 = vanilla variance

Quota growth formula

increase ≈ BaseIncrease (1 + quota² / CurveSharpness) randomFactor

randomFactor ∈ [1 - 0.5RandomizerMultiplier, 1 + 0.5RandomizerMultiplier]

Example with defaults (BaseIncrease=100, CurveSharpness=16, RandomizerMultiplier=1):

| Quota | Curve term | Avg increase | Cumulative quota (start 130) |

|:-----:|:---------------------:|:------------:|:----------------------------:|

| 1 | 100 × (1 + 1/16) ≈ 106 | ~106 ± 53 | ~236 |

| 2 | 100 × (1 + 4/16) ≈ 125 | ~125 ± 63 | ~361 |

| 3 | 100 × (1 + 9/16) ≈ 156 | ~156 ± 78 | ~517 |

| 4 | 100 × (1 + 16/16) ≈ 200 | ~200 ± 100 | ~717 |

| 5 | 100 × (1 + 25/16) ≈ 256 | ~256 ± 128 | ~973 |

Deadline bonus formula (only active when EnableDeadlineBonus is on):

interval mode: bonus = floor(quota / DeadlineBonusPerQuota)

threshold mode: bonus = how many DeadlineBonusThresholds values the quota has reached

deadline = baseDeadline + min(bonus, DeadlineBonusMax)

Thresholds override the interval whenever they are set. DeadlineBonusMax = 0 removes the cap.

Bonus is added on top of whatever the base deadline resolves to, including randomized and

per-constellation deadlines.

Example with defaults (DeadlineBonusPerQuota=1000, DeadlineBonusMax=3, DaysToDeadline=3):

| Quota | Bonus | Deadline |
