About this mod Author’s original text
WeatherModifiers
WeatherModifiers transforms moon weather from an annoyance into a high-stakes, high-reward strategic choice. By dynamically adjusting scrap value & spawn rates, and enemy spawn rates & spawn caps, this mod incentivizes players to prioritise active weathering planets for better rewards.
Features
Dynamic Scrap Scaling
- Weather Multipliers: Configurable multipliers for both the total value and total amount of scrap spawned based on the current weather.
- Persistent Gift Boxes: Tracks the weather a Gift Box was found in to ensure its value remains consistent with its origin, even if opened later on the ship or otherwise.
Enhanced Enemy Spawning
- Power Level Bonuses: Additive bonuses to indoor and outdoor power caps. Want an Eclipsed moon to have 500 power? Now you can.
- Aggressive Curves: Automatically adjusts spawn probability curves. As power bonuses increase, the game checks for spawns more frequently and with higher success rates.
- Early Spawning: Optional feature to trigger the spawning sequence earlier in the day (Hardcoded to 8:30 AM indoors and 10:30 AM outdoors).
Customizable Mob Caps
- Max Count Bonuses: Increase the individual caps for specific enemy types (e.g., allow multiple Brackens or more-than-normal Coil-heads) based on the weather condition.
Progressive Scaling
- Scale scrap values, amounts, enemy power levels and caps as you complete each quota. Each quote completed can now make the modifiers steeper.
Modded Weather Support
- Works with modded weathers added via the library mod WeatherRegistry. Which many, many weather mods utilize.
- For the modded weathers config to be filled in with all available weathers you will need to load into a save atleast once with your modlist, not just launching the game.
Highly Configurable
- Almost every single multiplier, bonus, and feature toggle is exposed in the BepInEx configuration file for fine-tuning.

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:
