About this mod Author’s original text

Quality

Introduces 4 new qualities for all equipments, all standard (white, green, red, void, and boss) items: Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary, each with unique additional effects on top of their standard versions.

Quality items stack in both their quality effect and as another instance of the non-quality item. For example, having 3 regular Tougher Times and 2 Uncommon Tougher Times will give the same block chance as if you just had 5 regular Tougher Times.

Qualities of the same item all increase the same stat, and stack together. Stats that are changed with quality are marked with a blue diamond icon in item descriptions.

Quality stats that are non-stacking only apply the stat of the highest quality of that item in your inventory.

Quality items have a small chance to drop from any regular item source, and always drop from Quality chest variants.

Quality printer variants allow you to trade a quality item for a different item, while keeping the quality tier the same.

Quality items can also be scrapped to produce Quality Scrap, these act just the same as regular scrap, but they can only be used in Quality Printers.

Includes a 25% increased difficulty scaling to balance out the more powerful on-average items, can be disabled in config.

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.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
