DurabilityAndLanternControlMod

Durability And Lantern Control Mod

A BepInEx mod for Outward Definitive Edition that lets you customize durability loss

for weapons, armor and lanterns — or make them completely infinite.

Also allows you to adjust lantern light intensity, range and color.

Requirements

• BepInEx for Outward
• Outward Config Manager (required to configure the mod in-game)

Features

All settings are available in-game via the Config Manager (press F5).

Activation

| Setting | Description | Default |

|---|---|---|

| Activate Mod | Enables or disables the entire mod | true |

Durability Multipliers

| Setting | Description | Default |

|---|---|---|

| Weapon Durability Multiplier | Multiplies durability loss for all weapons. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss | 0 |

| Armor Durability Multiplier | Multiplies durability loss for all armor pieces. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss | 0 |

| Lantern Durability Multiplier | Multiplies durability loss for lanterns. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss | 0 |

| Other Items Durability Multiplier | Multiplies durability loss for any other item not listed above. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss | 1 |

All multiplier sliders range from 0.0 to 5.0.

Values above 1.0 make the game harder — items degrade faster than normal.

Lantern Light

| Setting | Description | Default |

|---|---|---|

| Enable Lantern Light Modifier | Enables or disables light modifications | false |

| Light Intensity Multiplier | Multiplies the lantern's light intensity. 0 = no light, 1 = normal, 2 = double | 1 |

| Light Range Multiplier | Multiplies the lantern's light range. 0 = no range, 1 = normal, 2 = double | 1 |

| Light Color R (Red) | Red channel of the lantern light color (0.0 to 1.0) | 1 |

| Light Color G (Green) | Green channel of the lantern light color (0.0 to 1.0) | 0.6 |

| Light Color B (Blue) | Blue channel of the lantern light color (0.0 to 1.0) | 0.2 |

Light changes apply the next time the lantern is lit.
