AlwaysBird

AlwaysBird v2.0.0

What it does

This is a BepInEx/Harmony plugin source package that makes the Giant Sapsucker (internal name GiantKiwi) overwhelmingly likely to be selected as an outdoor spawn on a moon — effectively making it the "always bird".

Important

This package contains the source and a packaging template (manifest, icon, README). I cannot compile game assemblies in this environment, so you'll need to build the plugin DLL on your machine and put it in BepInEx/plugins/ before zipping/uploading.

Files included

• src/AlwaysBird.cs — full C# source (BepInEx plugin + Harmony patch).
• AlwaysBird.csproj — project file (targets.NETFramework 4.7.2).
• manifest.json, README.md, icon.png — packaging files.
• BepInEx/plugins/README.txt — where to place the compiled DLL.
• build-instructions.txt — step-by-step build & packaging instructions.

Quick build & package instructions (Windows)

• Open the AlwaysBird.csproj in Visual Studio 2019/2022 (you need.NET Framework 4.7.2 dev pack).
• Add references to these DLLs (from your Lethal Company install and BepInEx):
• Assembly-CSharp.dll — /Lethal Company_Data/Managed/Assembly-CSharp.dll
• UnityEngine.dll — same Managed folder (or your game's UnityEngine reference)
• 0Harmony.dll — from your BepInEx or Harmony package
• BepInEx.dll — from your BepInEx installation (or the game's BepInEx core folder)
• Build the project (Release).
• Place the compiled AlwaysBird.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ inside the package root (there is a placeholder README there).
• Zip the contents (manifest.json, README.md, icon.png, and the BepInEx folder which contains plugins/AlwaysBird.dll) as AlwaysBird-2.0.0.zip.
• Upload that.zip under your Team account -> Lethal Company category.

Safety & compatibility notes

• This mod modifies spawn rarities at level load — it should be compatible with most mods, but mods that also heavily modify spawn tables may conflict.
• If you run into issues, try enabling only this mod and check BepInEx logs (BepInEx/LogOutput.log) for Harmony errors.
