HighQuotaRebalanced Beta

Due to how changes are implemented this mod is not compatible with mods that add new items, new enemies or change the vanilla moons in some way. There will be a config for full release allowing you toggle different patches.

Description

HQR is meant to keep the vanilla feeling of the game with changes that make high quota more varied and more enjoyable to play by adding more emphasis on player choice and scalling difficulty.

Change list

Player changes:

Re-implement the ability to ledge climb
Player's movement speed reduced while crouch through water caves is almost the same as regular crouching

Generation changes:

Fire exit is more likely to spawn (prevent small mineshaft interiors from having no fire exit, tho it is techinically possible)
Fire exit spawning logic changed per interior:
- Facility: fire exit will spawn on the other side of maze
- Mansion: fire exit can still spawn close to main, but not in a dead end
- Minesahft: fire exit will spawn on the otehr side of caves

Terminal changes:

The scan command is now more accurate to the real value

Jester changes:

Jester's follow timer scales with map size: followTimer = 30*mapSize - Random(0.0, 10.0)
Jester's hitbox is no longer solid and can be ran through

Maneater changes:

Maneater takes multiple hit points of damage from sources that deal more than 1 damage (shotgun, landmines, etc...)
Maneater can't cry or eat scrap until it has seen a player for the 1st time
Maneater's increased spawns when interior is mineshaft has been removed

Mineshaft changes:

Removed the extra 6 items
Less facility tiles, more cave tiles, overall smaller by ~10%

Butler changes:

Removed stealth stab
Knives show up on the monitor and counts towards outside items when using the terminal's scan command while the butler is alive
Knives from both alive and dead butlers are included in the total value displayed at the end of the day

Masked changes:

Masked now wears a mask item instead of a mesh, that can be grabbed upon death, similar to Nutcracker's shotgun
Masked will drop the player's items when converting them
Converted maskeds will have the correct suit and also be tracked correct on the monitor by non-host players

Bee changes:

Hives are included in the total value displayed at the end of the day

Kiwi bird changes:

Eggs are included in the total value displayed at the end of the day

Ship radar changes:

Removed "No singal" effect when players are in caves

Infestation changes:

Infestation has a base 4% chance of happening any day
Infestation no longer changes the total power available in the moon
Infestation can only chose Nutcrackers, Masked or Butlers with an equal chance for all of them, if all can spawn on the moon
When choosen as the infestation enemy, they will have unlimited max spawn count
Removed the extra +2 spawns per wave
During an infestation, when attempting to spawn a new enemy, there's a 60% chance of spawning the current infestation enemy and 40% chance of spawning an enemy using the current moon's spawn distribution

Luck changes:

Luck now increases quota rolls, instead of decreasing
Luck doesn't depend on what furniture has been bought, only how many
Luck is much more effective in changing rolls

Game changes:

Indoor fog is permanently disabled
Single Item Day is disabled
Routing to Rend, Dine or Titan is a one time pay for a quota
Removed spawn scaling based on how many days are left on the quota
Removed extra spawn when suriving 5 days in a row
Removed extra weather when surviving 3 days in a row
Added spawn scaling based on quotas fulfilled
Infestation chances increase to 20% if the crew collected at least 85% of the total value over the last 3 days

Moon changes:

Every Tier 2 or higher moon has been changed to have more scrap or more valuable scrap and a lot more spawns

Reworking this section for a wiki instead of using the README (only for the full release)

Planned changes

There are no more planed big changes

HQR is in it's playtesting phase to give the best experience before it's first full release (this might change as I iterate on more ideas)
