ExtraMouths

ExtraMouths

A PEAK mod that scales map forage food (berries, coconuts, mushrooms, and similar) when more than four players are connected.

Only the host needs this mod.

Formula

When 5 or more players are connected (host-side):

multiplier = (connectedPlayers + ExtraPlayers) / BaselinePlayers

Defaults: ExtraPlayers = 2, BaselinePlayers = 4, MinPlayersToScale = 5.

| Connected players | Effective mouths | Multiplier |

|-------------------|------------------|------------|

| 1–4 | — | vanilla (mod skipped) |

| 5 | 7 | 1.75x |

| 6 | 8 | 2.0x |

| 10 | 12 | 3.0x |

What gets scaled (defaults)

• Berry bushes
• Berry vines
• Ground forage (e.g. mushrooms)
• Food spawn pools on plain spawners (coconuts, winterberries, kingberries, clusterberries, nests, cactus fruit, redwood fungi, etc.)

Luggage is not scaled by default. Campfire marshmallows are unchanged (use a lobby-size mod such as PEAK Unlimited for those).

Configuration

After one launch, edit:

BepInEx/config/ExtraMouths.cfg

| Key | Default | Meaning |

|-----|---------|---------|

| ExtraPlayers | 2 | Extra mouths beyond the live lobby |

| BaselinePlayers | 4 | Vanilla balance party size |

| MinPlayersToScale | 5 | Below this → full vanilla rates |

| BerryBushes / BerryVines / GroundSpawns / FoodSpawnPools | true | Toggle food categories |

| Luggages | empty | Optional luggage display names to multiply (see below) |

Luggage names (Luggages)

Comma-separated exact prefab display names. Do not wrap the value in quotation marks in the.cfg (quotes become part of the name and only middle entries like Big Luggage will match).

Luggage,Big Luggage,Explorer's Luggage

Known vanilla names:

| Display name | Notes |

|---|---|

| Luggage | Regular / small luggage |

| Big Luggage | Tall white luggage |

| Explorer's Luggage | Orange explorer briefcase (straight apostrophe ') |

| Ancient Luggage | Ancient luggage |

| Ancient Statue | Respawn statues (also a luggage spawner) |

| Clown Luggage | Clown luggage |

There is no public PEAK API or official name list; these come from the game’s Luggage displayName fields.

Install

• Use r2modman / Gale with BepInEx for PEAK, or drop the built DLL into BepInEx/plugins.
• Do not run this together with other item-multiplier mods that patch the same spawners.

Build

Requires PEAK installed (auto-detected under common Steam paths), or set PEAK_GAME_DIR / -p:PeakGameRootDir=.

dotnet build -c Release

Optional deploy: -p:DeployToPeak=true -p:PeakPluginsDir="/path/to/BepInEx/plugins/ExtraMouths"

Optional overrides: copy Config.Build.user.props.example → Config.Build.user.props (gitignored).

packaging (CI)

Every push to master runs.github/workflows.yml:

• Builds a ZIP (using stripped PEAKGameLibs for compile references)
• Uploads a workflow artifact named FakeGameDevelopers-ExtraMouths

Every push still builds that zip. publish runs only when ` in src/ExtraMouths/ExtraMouths.csproj changes, and the organization secret TCLI_AUTH_TOKEN` is set. The publish step copies the categories already on the package, so a new version keeps the same tags. A commit that leaves the version unchanged only builds the artifact.

Local package build

dotnet build -c Release -target:PackTS
