About this mod Author’s original text
Night Vision Goggles
Adds Night Vision Goggles to the ship store. Switch them on and the dark turns bright green, while monsters glow red with a target box showing their name and distance.
How it works
- Buy them from the terminal: buy night vision goggles (180 credits by default).
- Pick them up, then press N to put them on or take them off. They work from any inventory slot, so your hands stay free for a flashlight or shovel.
- You can also hold them and press LMB.
- Teammates see the goggles on your head, with glowing green lenses.
- The fog clears while they're on, so you can see much further.
- Monsters within 60 m glow and get lit by a red spotlight. When you can see them directly, they also get a box with their name and distance.
- Turrets, landmines and spike traps glow yellow.
- A full battery lasts 5 minutes. Recharge it at the ship's charging station.
- Dropping the goggles switches them off.
- Monsters that are meant to be invisible to you (like the Ghost Girl haunting someone else) stay invisible.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
