Paper's Tweaks
This mod is a collection of various gameplay tweaks I've made to make mine and my friends' lives easier in Lethal Company, and to make some _troublesome_ mechanics fairer for us _- looking at you, Kidnapper Fox._
All of the tweaks can be disabled or configured either by editing the config file or using LethalConfig in-game, though yb default they are all enabled with numbers I've found work best for my group of friends.
Tweaks
Vain Shroud Infestations
When enabled, moons will have a random chance (5% by default) to spawn with a large cluster of Vain Shrouds, usually big enough for a Kidnapper Fox to make into a nest.
This completely replaces the vanillla spawning mechanics where Vain Shrouds stay between days and grow over time. Instead, moons will only have Vain Shrouds if they get randomly picked to be infested and they will be gone once the day ends.
Kidnapper Fox
- Reduces the health of the Kidnapper Fox to 3 HP instead of the default 7 HP, making them easier to kill with a shovel and one-shot with a shotgun.
Butler
- Reduces the health of Butlers to 4 HP in multiplayer instead of the default 8 HP.
- Lowers the spawn limit for Butlers to 2 instead of the default 7, so moons like Dine won't be overrun by them.
- Prevents Butler Bees from spawning when a Butler dies.
Scrap Spawning
- New loot table for Dine which makes it more balanced with other moons while keepings its unique scrap.
- Additional scrap and increased loot amounts on Embrion.
Tools as Scrap
- Makes several tool items spawn rarely as scrap on all moons:
- Extension Ladder
- Flashlight
- Pro Flashlight
- Shotgun Shell
- Shovel
- Spray Paint
- TZP Inhalant
Bug Reports
If you find any bugs caused by the mod, please report them on the GitHub issues page.
I won't be taking any feature requests for this mod unless they relate to tweaks that have already been added.
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:
