[v0.1.3] [For Lethal Company v49] High quality LITE modpack containing 70+ core mods that improve the gameplay loop while still remaining a challenging experience. Install this modpack if you are looking for an experience that:

• Is ideal for 4+ players (More is better).
• Increases the difficulty of vanilla LC, to some Brutal & Insane amounts.
• Adds fresh content to the game that stays true to the genre.
• Adds plenty of quality of life additions to streamline your gameplay.
• Recieves frequent updates and tweaks to ensure the best experience.

[Prerequisite] Installing R2ModManager:

Before installing the modpack, you need the recommended modloader, R2ModManager (AKA R2ModMan). We prefer this over the alternative, Thunderstore, as it is ad-free and does not require Overwolf, which is included with Thunderstore and forced to run.

To install:

1. Download R2ModManager by pressing "Manual download" on the linked page.
2. Create a folder to extract R2ModMan to that is memorable and easily accessible (example, a folder named "R2ModMan" on your desktop).
3. Extract the contents of the downloaded .ZIP file to this newly created folder, and run the executable file contained within.
4. This will begin the installation of R2ModMan. Follow the steps on the setup wizard, and run R2ModMan when finished.

  • Remote Radar (■300), allows the user to view the ship's radar on the go, allowing them to see their (or another player's) surroundings.
    • Links to the ship's radar. So changing the tracked target on the remote will also change it on the ship and vice-versa.
    • Only allows viewing of player's positions. Does not allow the use of terminal commands.

• New/altered entities. I've added them here in a style similar to the bestiary and obfuscated them for those who want to be surprised. If you want to know the details and see some images, reveal away:

- A ROAMING LANDMINE THAT SEARCHES FOR NEARBY TARGETS AND ATTEMPTS TO DRIVE UNDERNEATH THEM.
- STEPPING ON THEM OR DESTROYING THEM WILL CAUSE THEM TO EXPLODE.
- MOUNTED WITH A FLASHLIGHT. CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR FLASHLIGHTS OF OTHER CREW MEMBERS IN SOME SITUATIONS.

- BE AWARE OF THEIR EXISTENCE. THEY ARE DECEPTIVELY SMALL AND QUIET AND WILL SNEAK UP ON UNSUSPECTING CREWS.
- CAN BE EASILY OUTMANEUVERED AND DO NOT POSE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT.
- DO NOT DAMAGE THEM IF YOU WISH TO SURVIVE.

- WHEN ESCAPE FROM THE FACILITY SEEMS NEAR, THE MIMIC POSES A FINAL THREAT TO SAFETY.
- A CREATURE THAT LURKS IN FIRE ESCAPE DOORS AND WILL INSTANTLY DEVOUR ANY UNSUSPECTING VICTIMS WHO TRY TO PASS THROUGH.
- UNAVOIDABLE AND UNKILLABLE ONCE PROVOKED.

- CAREFULLY INSPECT ALL FIRE ESCAPE DOORS BEFORE USING THEM. ANY NOTABLE DISCREPANCY CAN SIGNIFY THE PRESENCE OF A MIMIC.
- VERIFY THE EXISTENCE OF FIRE ESCAPE DOORS WITH YOUR RESIDENT TERMINAL OPERATOR. IF THEY DO NOT SEE A DOOR, THE DOOR IS NOT REAL.
- ENSURE YOU ONLY TRUST THE DOORS YOU ENTERED THROUGH THE FACILITY WITH, OR HAVE SEEN ANOTHER CREWMATE USE SAFELY.

- A TWISTED VERSION OF A FORMER COMPANY EMPLOYEE. A MASK NOTABLY GRAFTED TO THEIR FACE AS WELL AS THEIR TENDANCY TO HUNT OTHER CREWMATES 
SIGNIFIES THEM AS A THREAT.
- ACTS IN A ZOMBIFIED MANNER, AND ATTEMPTS TO GRAB UNINFECTED CREWMATES WHEN CLOSE TO SPREAD THEIR CONDITION.
- LURES TARGETS IN THROUGH THE USE OF WEARING COMPANY CLOTHES AND SPEAKING IN FAMILIAR VOICES.

- BEHAVIOUR MAY INCLUDE: REPEATED PHRASES FROM ANY CREWMATE'S VOICE, FOLLOWING CREWMATES CLOSELY, OR RAISING ARMS TO GRAPPLE A CREWMATE 
IN CLOSE PROXIMITY.
- BE WARY OF REMAINING MASKED EMPLOYEES FROM PREVIOUS EXPEDITIONS WHO MAY LURK ON THE MOON.

HAS THE APPEARANCE OF A CUBE WITH A BUTTON ON TOP... MOST OF THE TIME. 
ENTITY HAS A CHANCE TO DISGUISE ITSELF AS SCRAP TO TEMPT EMPLOYEES INTO PRESSING IT.
BESTIARY ENTRIES HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE CONSTANTLY REWRITTEN EACH TIME.

- BE ON THE ALERT FOR SCRAP THAT ENTICE EMPLOYEES INTO PRESSING IT.
- WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO PRESS IT? FOR THE COMPANY OF COURSE!
- ENTITY-03 WILL TRY TO PUSH THE BUTTON, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION AROUND THEM HOLDING THIS ENTITY.
- OTHER ENTITIES WITHIN THE FACILITY SEEM SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS ENTITY. EMPLOYEES PROCEED WITH CAUTION.

• New facility hazards. I've added them here in a style similar to the bestiary and obfuscated them for those who want to be surprised. If you want to know the details and see some images, reveal away:

- SIMILAR TO LANDMINES BUT APPEAR LESS FREQUENTLY. DISTINGUISHABLE BY THEIR HEXAGONAL SHAPE AND PATTERNS.
- STEPPING ON THIS WILL IMMEDIATELY TRANSPORT THE VICTIM TO A RANDOM LOCATION IN THE FACILITY. 
- THE VICTIM WILL SUFFER NO DAMAGE TO THEMSELVES OR THEIR HELD ITEMS.

- WATCH THE FLOORS AND BRING A FLASHLIGHT TO SPOT THEM EASIER.
- USE A HACK PAD OR ASK YOUR RESIDENT TERMINAL OPERATOR TO DISABLE IT TEMPORARILY OVER RADIO IF THE TRAP IS IMPASSABLE.
- CAN BE USED AS A TOOL TO ESCAPE MORE DANGEROUS THREATS IF NECESSARY.

• Thumpers spawn less frequently.

• The terminal will now periodically "glitch" (indicated by a beeping noise) which will randomly toggle a door inside the facility, or make a turret enter a berserk state.
