NewGenPotGolfing
Fixes Concussion Mine interactions with pots, no longer sending them into orbit.\
This mod doesn't require KCCDownpatcher, and Pot Rolling remains as it is normally.
Lore
Before SOTS, pot golfing was a niche railgunner tech where you could use your mines to launch pots across a small distance. During the production of the SOTS update, Gearbox updated the KinematicCharacterController, which broke pot rolling entirely. So how Gearbox fixed that, is by reducing the mass to 5 (from 50), but this unintentionally causes pots to take insane knockback, including with Railgunner's Concussion Mines. Unfortunately, this was never fixed. How this mod deals with that is instead of changing the mass of a pot back to 50, it instead reduces the knockback force a pot takes by 10.

You - for reading:)
Known Issues
- I didn't test if this does work with KCCDownpatcher, theoretically it should?
- I don't have any actual known issues, if there's a bug dm me on discord @ `acanthi`
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.
