About this mod Author’s original text

AlternativeGoldScaling

This mod is partially a port of the gold drop & multiplayer cost scaling changes from Well-Rounded Balance, which makes the gold scaling not insane past stage 6 which keeps the killing-to-loot part of the game longer (which also inadvertently buffs items that give money). I say partially because while this mod does bring over the exact formulas that WRB uses, some values have been tweaked to better suit vanilla gameplay. This mod also includes some support for Starstorm 2's late-game elites. They drop a shit ton of money and appear very often late-game, so this mod also adds some settings that lets you decrease their gold drops, with all values related to it configurable of course.

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.

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
