MonsterScaler
A comprehensive monster spawning control mod that gives you complete customization over enemy encounters.
Features
- Global Spawn Toggle - Enable or disable all monster spawning with one setting
- Multiplier System - Scale total monster count from 1x to 1000x
- Tier Control - Enable/disable entire difficulty categories (Easy/Medium/Hard)
- Individual Monster Control - Toggle specific monsters on or off
- Automatic Config Generation - All monsters are automatically registered in the config file
Installation
- Install BepInEx 5.4.21 or higher
- Install REPOLib dependency
- Extract MonsterScaler into your BepInEx/plugins folder
- Launch the game once to generate the config file
- Optional: Download REPOConfig to configure the mod directly in-game via the menu
- Edit the config at BepInEx/config/com.PxntxrezStudio.monsterscaler.cfg (if not using REPOConfig)
Configuration
The config file is divided into four sections:
General Settings
[General]
Enable or disable all monster spawning
EnableSpawning = true
Multiplier for total monster count (1-1000)
MonsterMultiplier = 1
Category Toggles
[Categories]
Enable/disable Tier 1 (easy) monsters
EnableTier1 = true
Enable/disable Tier 2 (medium) monsters
EnableTier2 = true
Enable/disable Tier 3 (hard) monsters
EnableTier3 = true
Individual Monsters
[Monsters]
Enable/disable each monster individually
MonsterName1 = true
MonsterName2 = true...
All monsters discovered in the game will automatically appear in this section after your first run.
Usage Examples
Double the challenge
MonsterMultiplier = 2
Remove all easy enemies
EnableTier1 = false
Disable specific monsters
[Monsters]
Jester = false
Bracken = false
Extreme mode (10x monsters, hard only)
MonsterMultiplier = 10
EnableTier1 = false
EnableTier2 = false
EnableTier3 = true
How It Works
MonsterScaler intercepts the game's enemy spawning system and rebuilds the spawn lists based on your configuration. When you change the config, the new settings take effect on the next level load.
The mod only affects spawning when:
- Setup is complete (all game bundles loaded)
- You are the host or playing single-player
- EnableSpawning is set to true
If MonsterScaler encounters an error, it automatically falls back to the game's default spawning behavior.
Compatibility
- Requires BepInEx 5.4.21+
- Requires REPOLib
- Compatible with other modded enemies
- Should be compatible with most other mods
- Host must have the mod installed in multiplayer
Troubleshooting
No monsters spawning
- Check that EnableSpawning = true
- Verify at least one tier is enabled
- Make sure some monsters are enabled in the [Monsters] section
Config not generating
- Launch the game at least once to let the mod discover all monsters
- Check the BepInEx console for error messages
Changes not taking effect
- Config changes apply on level load, not mid-game
- Restart the level or start a new run after changing settings

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:
