NoStageDifficultyScaling
Replaces the per-stage exponential with an exponential that scales with time.
About this mod Author’s original text
Replaces the per-stage exponential with a time-based exponential scaled to an expected stage completion time.
Old StageFactor calculation: 1.15 ^ StagesCleared
New StageFactor calculation: 1.15 ^ (Time / ExpectedStageClearTime)
Default ExpectedStageClearTime is 7 minutes
- 5 minutes seems to be the expecation of Vanilla, but is unrealistic to how people actually play the game
- Originally tried 6 minutes, but seemed too punishing for stages 4-5 and Mithrix
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.
