LCLegDayMod

COMPANY-MANDATED MESSAGE:

Alright, that's it, we have had enough!

Employees, we are SEVERELY disappointed in everyone's physical abilities, and have therefore installed fitness software into your helmet's visor that will keep track of your movement throughout the day, to ensure all of you get enough exercise, get stronger, and, most importantly, get more scrap FASTER!!

This software should tell you when you have taken enough steps to feel stronger the next day, or if you've been such an incredibly lazy bum that your stamina has somehow decreased, so follow its advice to a T!

That is all for this message. We hope you stay a great asset to the Company.

The Mod

Introduction:

Tired from carrying scrap? Good! Feeling the burn is an essential part of growing stronger, so make sure to get enough exercise, so you'll be stronger and more durable in the future.

This mod will increase your stamina on days when you have taken a large number of steps. And this number will only get larger the more stamina you have, so don't get complacant, otherwise your stamina might drop back down again, maybe even below its starting value...

All this is communicated through the Fitness Witness, a 'helpful' on-screen tip-system that will tell you your amount of steps at the end of the day, and if your stamina has gone up, down, or remained the same.

Customization:

Want a bit more challenge? Head to the Mod Manager's Edit config, and edit LCLegDayMod.cfg to set how low you want your stamina to be able to go, or how high you dare try to push your maximum stamina. Set whether your stamina regenerates faster, or if deaths are punished harder. Choose the way your stamina changes are communicated and if you want your earned changes to be carried over between saves, and play the mod your way!

Creation:

• The calculated steps taken for this mod follows the in-game vanilla StepsTaken counter per player, and just applies the stamina change according to new rules I made and tested myself. So, I'll keep an eye on if my rules could need changing, but the way the steps are calculated likely won't.
• Made this mod as a creative exercise after the months-long journey that was the LCGoldScrapMod. It's simple, but I just wanted to see what I've learned so far and if I could have an interesting twist on the "more stamina mod"-idea than just making it infinite or simply a config option.
  • Also my first mod so far that is just code. No asset bundles, just pure straight lines of code altering gameplay. Hope it works!
• Attention:
  • Due to this mod being created as a client-side mod for the sake of personal customization, it also means you might maybe unknowingly play with someone who has the mod, and in the worst case somebody who edited their SaveData, and therefore has more stamina than you.
  • For now, I am deciding to not make it a server-side mod and instead will keep it as-is, since the mod should balance itself out to prevent any sort of griefing, and if they wanted to cheat they could download plenty of other mods. And besides, having a beefed-up teammate can theoretically only be a good thing, right...?

Credits:

• I want to thank my friends with whom we have the joke of employees not being slowed down by heavy scrap because they didn't skip leg day. Without them, this mod wouldn't have happened (they're also just really cool people either way, so I'm thankful we play together every so often).
• And thank you for checking out or even downloading this mod!
