Outward Game Settings

This Outward mod allows you to change the way game works.

Available Settings

Enchanting

Require Enchantment Recipe To Enchant

_Attempting to enchant an item without the required enchantment recipe in your inventory (pocket or backpack) will display an error and cancel the process. Config setting: RequireRecipeToAllowEnchant._

Consume Enchantment on Use

Enchanting Success Chance

Play Audio on Enchanting Completion

Skills

Chance to learn skills on enemy kill

When you kill an enemy, you have a chance to learn a weapon-type skill.

Once all weapon-type skills are learned, you can start learning skills from other weapon types.

After all weapon-based skills are learned, you will be able to learn certain monster skills, which may be overpowered or may not function correctly.

Enemy Scenarios

In game there are new events that happen randomly on world time change.

Currently enemies don't drop loot. Loot can be added by other mods with

Loot Manager.

Enemies can indeed cast spells and early on it is better to avoid them.

War Scenario

Spawns random faction groups that start fighting. Only appears in open world.

Ambush Scenario

Spawns random faction group. The only scenario that can happen in towns but only from 20:00 to 04:00.

Wanderer Encounter Scenario

Spawns random faction enemy.

Enemy Factions

There are total of 4 factions that can spawn and fight. Troglodytes, Bandits,

Ghosts and Skeletons. They can use skills.

Seasons

Additionally 3 seasons are added.

Winter

Adds winter to other regions.

Foggy spirits

Cloudy mist season that makes very hard to navigate and each hour changes

the fog density.

Great war

Each hour there is a chance you will encounter additional war/ambush/wanderer scenario or nothing.

Sideloader

I did add additional character AI classes. They work more as an example.

How to change settings?

Currently all settings can be changed in BepInEx\config\gymmed.outward_game_settings.cfg. If you are mod pack creator you can use outward mods communicator to change values and rebalance gameplay.

How to set up

To manually set up, do the following

  • Create the directory: Outward\BepInEx\plugins\OutwardGameSettings\.
  • Extract the archive into any directory(recommend empty).
  • Move the contents of the plugins\ directory from the archive into the BepInEx\plugins\OutwardGameSettings\ directory you created.
  • It should look like Outward\BepInEx\plugins\OutwardGameSettings\OutwardGameSettings.dll

Launch the game.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
