About this mod Author’s original text

Relic Picker

Allows you to choose any relics when starting a new run (For Monster Train 2).

This's a reupload of mod with the author PattyHoswell's permission.

How to manually install:

  • Install BepInEx 5.4 (or you can use the preconfigured ones)
  • Run the game once (To initialize BepInEx for first time)
  • Put the mod into (gamedata)\BepInEx\plugins
  • Restart the game (If the mod does not show, check the game logs if there's Patty_RelicPicker_MOD installed and if BepInEx is installed correctly).
  • (Optional) to install BepInEx Configuration Manager to enable/disable the mod on Challenge run easily.

How to use:

  • In the start a new run menu. There is a new button called Set Starter Relics
  • Pick any relic you want, there is no limit to how much relic you can pick at a time
  • Start a new run to see your relic added at the beginning

How to use in Challenge run:

  • Make sure the setting to allow the relic on Challenge run enabled (by default its enabled)
  • Pick the relic you want to have in the beginning on the new run menu (not Challenge run)
  • Go back and start the Challenge run you want

Disclaimer:

  • The mod doesn't do any prevention, enforcing or checks if your run is going to encounter a duplicate relic.
  • There're a few tests done with duplicated relics, some have weird behaviour but so far nothing extreme (like crash, no guarantee it won't crash under specific circumstances).
  • If you did pick a duplicate relic, you are responsible to whatever happened on the run (well you are still responsible regardless of whether you have duplicate relic or not because it's a mod)
  • The menu will sort the order based on enabled relic and name
  • Re-open the menu to sort the order after enabling/disabling some relics

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
