Budgeting

Budgeting!

Tax man finally taught those little fellas some basic accounting skills!

Description

This mod adds some functionality to divvy out money during the shopping phase to each player.

Supported Distribution Methods:

• Even: As you might expect, money is divvied out as evenly as possible between all players
• Manual: All money is given to the host, who can then _share_ the money with friends.
• By Upgrades: Players with the most upgrades will receive the least money.
• A "catchup" mechanic of sorts
• Will likely need tweaked in the future (as with the other weighted methods) for balance/fixes
• Offshore Bank Account: Even, but also an "offshore bank account" gets a share of the funds that anyone can use to spend

Upon entering the shop, the team's "money pool" is shared between all players in the lobby.

You can see how much money you have by looking at the "Your Wallet:" text near the top of the screen.

The location of this text is configurable but requires a game restart to work.

Features

• Money Distribution Between Players: Automatic and Manual
• Money Sharing
• The game checks player wallets before confirming purchases
• Robot lines if you don't have enough money to make a purchase
• Players can share money in their wallet with other players!
• Robot lines if you don't have enough money to share
• Comes with a Broad Shop Discount feature, up to 30% off (configurable)
• All operations use the Host as the source of truth.

Purchasing

To purchase the items in the cart, the person who presses the shop button will have the funds deducted from their wallet. This is a bit scuffed but I might change it in a future update... I don't know

Make sure you can afford it!

Sharing

Have something you wanna buy but can't quite afford? Ask a friend to lend you some change!

Pressing the "Share Money Key" bind (configurable in the mod's config) pulls a menu that allows you to share any amount of money that you can afford.

_By default, this key is '4'_

Compatibility

Compatibility hasn't been broadly tested so far but I would steer clear of using this mod alongside mods that manipulate player money or shop behaviors.

Alternate storefronts/mods that add more items _should_ be compatible.

Planned Features

• Update to how money deduction works to not be reliant on the shop button
• UI improvements (easier ways to reposition the wallet text, etc.)

Etc.

All players in your group need the mod. Only the host needs to configure shop discounts and which distribution method to use.
