About this mod Author’s original text

CorpseHarvest

Creature corpses no longer auto-drop their loot — kneel down and harvest the

body, or it rots away with the corpse.

Features

  • Harvest with a single press of E (hold-to-work is available as a config

option).

  • Harvestable corpses show their monster name and a highlight tint while

you're aiming at them.

  • Knife damage speeds up harvesting — the sharper the knife, the faster the

harvest.

  • Middle-click a knife in your backpack to mark it as your harvest knife.

No knife tagged (or it breaks) → you harvest bare-handed: 3x slower and no

Knives XP.

  • The tagged knife loses 1 durability per completed harvest.
  • Knives skill raises jackpot chance and yield multiplier on a knife harvest.
  • Trophies are capped at 1 per corpse; Knives skill raises the chance of

getting one.

  • Corpses stay harvestable for 30 minutes by default (configurable). Left

un-worked, a corpse still drops 50% of its loot when it finally rots away.

  • Bosses and players are never affected — they behave exactly like vanilla.
  • Works automatically with monsters added by other mods (anything with a

normal loot table).

  • Floating corpses (water, tar) can be harvested too — they aren't frozen in

place until they're actually done drifting.

  • Text is in Korean when the game's language is set to Korean, English

otherwise.

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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
