Enemies Balancer

Outward Enemies Balancer

Outward mod that allows you to modify enemy stats (health, damage, resistances, etc.) and change enemy factions using Mods Communicator to send events.

Deeper Explanation

This mod hooks into the SL.OnSceneLoaded method and evaluates the

BalancingRules and FactionRules. These rules

determine whether your stat modifications should be applied to an enemy.

The mod acts as a central Enemies Balancer that stores simple,

abstracted logic and handles more complex game mechanics internally. Its state

can be saved or loaded using XML.

When you publish an event, the rules are applied immediately to all

matching enemies in the current scene.

Multiple matching rules stack and are all applied to the same enemy.

By default (without specific targeting), rules apply to all regular enemies (non-boss,

non-unique). Use isForBosses, isForBossPawns,

isForStoryBosses, isForUniqueArenaBosses, or

isForUniqueEnemies to target special enemy types.

Other mods can inspect, modify, or react to the BalancingRuleRegistryManager's

dynamic state and see how different mods interact with it.

How to use it

Firstly, install [Mods

Communicator](

After that, you can publish and subscribe to Enemies Balancer events.

All events are registered and visible in Mods Communicator's logging system.

However, it is still recommended to read the event descriptions below and

review the examples. Many event fields are optional and give you extra control,

but they are not required.

Value Modifier Types

ValueModifierType determines how the stat modification is applied:

Direct - Sets stat to exact value

Scale - Multiplies stat (1.5 = 150%)

recommend adding it as a dependency in your mod, or publishing it before/after
