ShipStarterKit

Lethal Company BepInEx mod that pre-supplies the ship with configurable store equipment on the first load of each save file. Items appear in separate piles per type on the ship floor.

Thunderstore namespace: MrGlim
Author: Ben Hough (MrGlim)
GUID: com.benhough.lethal.ShipStarterKit

Requirements

• BepInEx Pack

Behavior

1. Host-only spawn — the host instantiates networked GrabbableObjects (same pattern as vanilla LoadShipGrabbableItems / dropship delivery) so clients see the piles.
2. First load per save only — an ES3 flag ShipStarterKit_Supplied is written on GameNetworkManager.currentSaveFileName (e.g. LCSaveFile1). Reloading that save or returning from moons does not re-spawn. Starting a new game on the slot clears the flag via ResetSavedGameValues.
3. Config per store item — defaults of 10 for belt bags, pro flashlights, jetpacks, lockpickers, spray paint, weed killer, and shovels. All other buyable store equipment is listed at 0 (raise in config as desired).
4. HostModGate (MrGlim.ShipStarterKit) — advantage QoL; features follow host enable state.

First-load gate (detail)

• Hook: StartOfRound.Start Postfix on server (after vanilla LoadShipGrabbableItems).
• StartOfRound persists across moon trips, so this does not fire every landing.
• Persistence: ES3 on the current save file name; file fallback under BepInEx/config/ShipStarterKit/ if ES3 reflection fails.

Spawn API

Instantiate(item.spawnPrefab, pos, identity, elevatorTransform)
→ GrabbableObject setup (fallTime=0, isInShipRoom, scrapPersistedThroughRounds)
→ NetworkObject.Spawn(false)
