What Y4NGZUpgrades does

Y4NGZUpgrades adds ranks, XP and 28 upgrades across four skill trees: Enforcer, Technician, Ghost and Foreman.

You earn XP from scrap, survival, combat and other sources, and spend the tokens it earns on upgrades.

Everything is bought from the Player Menu.

An Employee File records your long-term statistics.

Requirements

Your mod manager installs these automatically:

• BepInExPack
• Y4NGZInteractions
• LethalCompany InputUtils
• DawnLib

Late Game Upgrades compatibility

With LGU installed, all of its upgrades are imported into the player menu, each with its own icon, and are bought with tokens like any other

upgrade.

Three settings in the LGU config group control the import:

• General - Integrate LGU Into Player Menu (default on): turn it off to keep LGU exactly as stock. Its own terminal store sells its upgrades for credits, there is no Augments catalog, and the full Y4NGZ upgrade trees stay available whatever the LGU Upgrade Mode says. Levels you earned for LGU rows inside Y4NGZ are kept and come back when you turn it on again, merged with any ranks you bought from LGU meanwhile.

• General - LGU Upgrade Mode (default NativePreferred):
• NativePreferred: every Y4NGZUpgrades upgrade, plus the imported LGU

upgrades that don't have overlap with Y4NGZUpgrades. The 17 LGU upgrades that have overlap with Y4NGZ Upgrades are hidden.

• LguPreferred: every LGU upgrade, minus the Y4NGZ Upgrades that have overlap with LGU. Y4NGZ Upgrades that have only partially overlap with LGU are modified to keep only what is unique from the LGU equivalent upgrade.
• LguOnly: every Y4NGZUpgrades upgrade is hidden so you can run LGU upgrades with

Y4NGZUpgrades' progression and player menu.

• Appearance - LGU Upgrade Layout (default SeparateCatalog):
• ClassTrees LGU upgrades get added into the four Y4NGZUpgrades skill trees: Enforcer, Ghost, Foreman, Technician
• SeparateCatalog LGU upgrades get their own separate catalog called "Augments"
• Profiles still on the old ClassTrees default switch to SeparateCatalog once; if you set ClassTrees again afterwards, it stays.

All three settings are local and take effect on restart.

Player Menu

The Player Menu is the in-game hub for spending tokens, inspecting each

class tree, managing appearance unlocks, and reviewing the Employee File. It

shows the active employee's rank, XP progress, and token balance while keeping

purchases tied to that player's persistent profile.
