About this mod Author’s original text
VRates
VRates is a managed-only BepInEx 6 IL2CPP mod for V Rising that extends common server rates and costs beyond the normal game-setting limits.
VRates v1.0.0 exposes 10 independently configurable settings.
Rate/speed defaults are x10. Cost defaults remain x1 (vanilla).
Configuration
On first server/host launch, VRates creates:
BepInEx/config/VRates.cfg
Default configuration:
[Rates]
HarvestMultiplier = 10
LootMultiplier = 10
MissionLootMultiplier = 10
StygianShardMultiplier = 10
BloodEssenceMultiplier = 10
CraftSpeedMultiplier = 10
RefinementSpeedMultiplier = 10
RecipeCostMultiplier = 1
RefinementCostMultiplier = 1
BuildCostMultiplier = 1
Restart the server/host after changing the file.

Cost multiplier examples

The mod accepts positive values from 0.01 up to 65504.
Intentionally not modified
VRates does not modify:
InventoryStacksModifier
Inventory stack size remains the responsibility of VStacks.
Compatibility with VStacks
VRates works by itself or together with VStacks 1.0.1+.
When VStacks is installed:
- BepInEx loads VStacks first because VRates declares it as a soft dependency.
- VStacks owns the single native SettingsClamp::Half detour.
- VRates registers all 10 exact supported setting names with VStacks.
- VRates does not install a second native detour.
When VStacks is absent, VRates installs its own standalone SettingsClamp::Half hook.
If VStacks 1.0.0 is detected, VRates refuses to install a competing native hook and asks for VStacks 1.0.1+.
Installation
VRates is intended to be server-side.
Dedicated server
Install:
BepInEx/plugins/VRates/VRates.dll
Start the server once, then edit:
BepInEx/config/VRates.cfg
Restart after changes.
Clients do not need VRates installed.
Host & Play
Install VRates into the host's BepInEx environment.
Implementation
When running standalone, VRates:
- locates the current SettingsClamp::Half implementation in GameAssembly.dll using a fail-closed executable signature;
- installs one managed BepInEx INativeDetour;
- compares the IL2CPP field name against the 10 supported setting names;
- substitutes the configured value only for an exact match;
- passes every unrelated setting through unchanged.
When VStacks 1.0.1+ is present, VRates registers those exact names through VStacks' cooperative hook API instead.
VRates contains no custom native DLL, MinHook, or proxy DLL.
Build
dotnet restore src/VRates/VRates.csproj --configfile nuget.config
dotnet build src/VRates/VRates.csproj -c Release --no-restore
Output:
src/VRates/bin/Release/net6.0/VRates.dll
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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
