TMFBalancedInteractables

Attempts to balance the spawn of certain interactables when using TMF in RoR2.

One thing I noticed after playing with too many friends was the sheer quantity of "good" 3d printers, which made the game feel way too easy. Thus, this is my solution.

Installation:

Requires Bepinex, R2API. TMF suggested - does not modify spawnrates for <=4 players.

Place inside of Risk of Rain 2/Bepinex/Plugins/

Configuration:

By default, the config printerScalar is set to 1. This provides base scaling such that the more players that join, 3D printers and lunar pods will decrease proportionally.

With a 1.0 printerScalar, at 4 players, the weight of 3D printer spawns is 100% of vanilla. At 8 players, it is 50% of vanilla. at 16 players, it is 25% of vanilla.

printerScalar is a scalar upon the modified weight of printer spawns. This means that 8 players with a 2.0 value is the same as playing vanilla. 16 players with a 4.0 value is the same as playing vanilla.

printerScalar is inteded to act as a scalar for fine tuning where the player scaling may not be precisely accurate for the prefrences of the host/group. My advice is to keep between a range of 0-4 for decreasing spawns; anything above this will definitely increase spawn rate for any amount of players.

use "printerScalar {(double)value}" in console to change scalar on next map.

Changelog

v1.0.1 - Implemented console command.

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.
