About this mod Author’s original text
🎯 What I "Aim" to accomplish
Rather than flooding the game with content, Froggonaters Essentials prioritizes quality-of-life upgrades, difficulty scaling, and team-based balance tweaks while staying close to vanilla gameplay. It removes overly complex or unfair mechanics and replaces them with streamlined systems that support cooperative play, balanced economies, and fair challenges.
✅ Key Features
- 🛒 Dynamic Shop System
Balanced shop prices scale with party size using ShopPriceMultiplier, ensuring a fair challenge for larger teams.
- 🎲 GAMBLING System
A fun new mechanic added in V1.0.2, offering risk-and-reward gameplay elements.
- 👥 PlayerScaling
Difficulty increases automatically as more players join, keeping the experience challenging and engaging.
- 🔁 Host Sync + Late Join Support
New players can jump in mid-game without disrupting the team’s progress.
- 🔧 Simplified Mechanics
Unbalanced or immersion-breaking mods (e.g. Weeping Angels, Team Heals, Team Upgrades) have been removed to maintain vanilla consistency and fairness.
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:
