Honey, I shrunk the employees!

In this more than cosmetic Lethal Company mod, players can experience the game from a new perspective. The pros and cons of being small are many, and unique interactions are yet to be discovered...

Configuration

client-sided options are marked with a *, others will by synced with the host.

Known bugs

A list of known bugs can be found on our Github repository in the issues section

What's new

• ShrinkRay Targeting is finally here! The holder will see a laser pointer and targets will get highlighted (on activate by default, configurable).

• ShrinkRayTargetHighlighting: A performance option that manages, when targets should be highlighted.
• SizeChangeStep: The size change of a single modification Enlarging has no benefits currently and won't make normal sized players grabbable. This is planned for 0.6.0!

• Smoke VFX when being shrunken to death

  • Fully configurable in the config after first startup.
