About this mod Author’s original text
The Essentials
- Update any mods that need it after installing. (You can uninstall the modpack after updating everything)
- Change in-game configs for Risk of Options supported mods through the options menu -> mod options tab, for non-supported use the config tab in your mod manager.
- You can disable sounds and VFX in the Mod Options menu in the SOTS AV Effect Options tab (example, plasma shrimp).
- Read DebugToolkit's modpage to learn about the commands you can use in-game. Replace it with Aerolt if you want a UI instead of typing commands.
- If you want extra stats displayed on your screen, use LookingGlass and uninstall ItemStats.
- For faster interactables there's ExchangeChanges and BalancedFasterInteractables
Mainly made since I hate scavenging for all of the necessary fixes/QoL with every new profile.
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.
