Always Practice Makes Perfect
A BepInEx mod for Mycopunk that always enables the Practice Makes Perfect reload timing mini-game on all weapons.
Features
- Always Practice Makes Perfect — During reload, a timing window appears; press Fire inside it to speed up the reload animation
- QTE progress bar — Full-reload bar with a sweet-spot band and moving cursor (replaces the flash popup)
- All weapons — Not limited to Lead Flinger; every gun with a reload gets the mini-game
- Vanilla Lead Flinger path — Lead Flinger uses the game's own insta-reload fields when the upgrade is not equipped
- Config toggle — Enable or disable from the BepInEx config file
- Tunable window & speed — Adjust timing window width and success speed multiplier
- Hot-reload — Config changes apply while the game is running
- Local player only — Does not affect other players
Dependencies
- Mycopunk
- BepInEx 5.4.2403 or compatible (via BepInExPack_Mycopunk)

Configuration
Settings live in:
/BepInEx/config/sparroh.alwayspracticemakesperfect.cfg
| Setting | Default | Description |
|--------------------------------|---------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| Enable Practice Makes Perfect | true | Enables the reload timing mini-game on all weapons |
| Window Duration | 0.12 | Width of the timing window (animation seconds) |
| Reload Speed Multiplier | 2.5 | Reload animation speed multiplier on a successful press |
Config changes are hot-reloaded while the game is running.
How it works
Vanilla Practice Makes Perfect (InstaReload) is a Lead Flinger upgrade: during reload a short window opens and pressing Fire multiplies reload animation speed.
This mod:
- Injects the same stats onto Lead Flinger when the upgrade is not equipped
- Recreates the same timing logic for every other gun
- Shows a progress bar for the full reload with a highlighted sweet-spot band; press Fire when the cursor is inside the band
Troubleshooting
- Mod not loading? Confirm BepInEx is installed and check the BepInEx log.
- No timing bar? Ensure Enable Practice Makes Perfect is true. Some weapons without a normal reload animation will not show a bar.
- Window too hard/easy? Lower or raise Window Duration. Raise Reload Speed Multiplier for a stronger success reward.
- Old config file? If you previously used sparroh.practicemakesperfectalways.cfg, delete it — the GUID is now sparroh.alwayspracticemakesperfect.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
