BaconPackRPG

Lethal Company with RPG classes. Pick a class, level up, and unlock skills only your class has.
8 classes with their own skills · XP and promotions · Skill cards at every level-up · Quota cards that open moons and curse the run · 1 to 10 players

What's different

• Pick a class. Scout, Hauler, Security, Operator, Medic, Engineer, Hacker or Unemployed. Each plays differently: the Scout hears through doors and sends fake footsteps, the Hauler throws loot, Security taunts monsters off the crew, the Medic revives, the Hacker opens secure doors from across the room.
• Level up as you work. Bring scrap home, survive, kill monsters and meet the quota for XP. Every level is a funny new job title and a point to spend.
• Use your skills with one key. Tap Q to ping anything for the crew, hold Q for your class skill, hold X for a Mayday. Your crew sees and hears every skill you use.
• Draw cards at every quota. A reward card opens a new moon, a mystery card curses the run for good. The run gets harder the longer you survive.
• Made for groups and for solo. Balanced for 1 to 10 players, with a ready check, crew list and a quarterly review that grades everyone.
• Everyone in the lobby needs this pack.

How a run works

1. Do the job. Scrap you carry onto the ship, coming back alive, kills, bodies brought back and the quota all give XP. About a third is the crew's and two thirds are yours.
2. Get promoted. You start with 3 points. Every level is a new job title, from Probationary Intern up, and one more point. Levels have no top.
3. Spend points. After each day the career screen opens in orbit (or press K): Lategame Upgrades' personal upgrades, for you alone, and your department's passives and specialty. Click one to see it, and hold it down to buy it.
4. Ready up. With two or more players the lever waits until everyone clicks I'M READY. The host can hold the lever for 3 seconds to go anyway.
5. Meet the quota, draw cards. Take a reward card (a new moon and a bonus), then pick a mystery card blind (a debuff for the rest of the run). The host picks while everyone watches, or the whole crew votes.
6. Getting fired ends the run. Levels, moons and debuffs start over. Achievements and unlocked departments stay on your PC.

Hold P for the crew list, press R in orbit to ready up, and M opens your settings. Every key can be changed in the game's keybinds.

Classes

Department	Plays	Its passives	Its specialty
Scout	Moves fast, finds the way	Pathfinder: the way out. Point Man: hear what waits behind a door. Lure: send fake footsteps down a corridor.	Danger Sense: a warning when a monster comes for you
Hauler	Carries the loot	Haul Bonus: +25% scrap XP. Heave: throw what you hold. Express Delivery: beam an item to the ship once a day.	Tight Grip: keep your loot when the teleporter beams you up
Security	Fights the monsters	Stun Hits: melee stuns. Cover: take half of a teammate's hits. Deer in Headlights: freeze a monster with your flashlight.	Taunt: the monsters near you come after you instead
Operator	Runs the ship	Overseer, built in: XP from the crew's haul while you stay out. Radar Ping: monsters on the ship's map. Overwatch and Insertion: help a teammate from the monitor.	Lifeline: a teammate who would die is beamed up by the teleporter instead
Medic	Unlocked by bringing 5 bodies back	Field Medic: heal a teammate. Revive: once per quota, on the ship. Pry Off: tear off a Snare Flea or what's biting.	Field Surgeon: Revive more often, and in the end anywhere
Engineer	Unlocked by switching off 50 traps with codes	Field Hacker: switch off a trap by hand. Mechanic: a tougher Cruiser. Reprogram: turn a mine or turret on the monsters.	Overclock: traps stay off longer, and in the end all around
Hacker	Works the facility's systems	Lockdown: lock a door for 20 seconds. Ghost Signal: a monster loses track of you.	Backdoor: open big secure doors from across the room, later unlock locked doors
Unemployed	Takes whatever job is left	Odd Jobs: +15% XP. Fill In: take a dead teammate's job for the day.	Jack of All Trades: borrow other departments' passives

You can transfer after each quota is met, and the points you spent come back. In a big lobby the host can give each department one or two slots, and players left over are Unemployed.

Random draft: the host can make a save a random draft instead. Everyone gets a random department for the whole run as they join, with 3 start cards to pick, and each level-up deals three more cards to take one from: an upgrade level, a passive, a specialty level or a perk. Perks only add what Lategame Upgrades doesn't have, and some are cursed, with a catch. Picking your own, every fifth level deals a hand of perks too. Every department also has X key skills, and everyone gets Callout and Mayday. Details in BaconRPG.

Quota cards

• Reward cards, face up, roll Common (55%), Rare (28%), Epic (14%) or Legendary (3%, two bonuses). Bonuses: credits, a store sale, a free delivery, more scrap value on the new moon, a free crew upgrade, or more XP.
• Mystery cards, face down: one Normal, one Cursed and one Doomed. Prices, traps, monsters, scrap, fines, the quota and the weather can all get worse, and each debuff stacks up to 3 times.
• New monsters and weathers stay away until a card brings them in: Peepers, Mimics, Lockers, the Immortal Snail, harsh elements (Heatwave, Blizzard, Toxic Smog and more), wild weather (Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Minefields, Forsaken and Hallowed), and Blood and Majora Moons.
• Your bonuses and debuffs sit under your health on the HUD, and the Escape menu lists them all. Details in BaconCards.

Moons

You start with the six free moons. Each quota's reward card opens one more, tier by tier. Every moon keeps its own trip price.

Tier	Moons
Open	Experimentation, Assurance, Vow, Offense, March, Adamance
1	Halation, Maritopia
2	EGypt, Gorgonzola
3	Rend, Dine, Titan, Tauralis, Zenit
4	Artifice, Embrion, Auralis, Lithium

Interiors: Scarlet Devil Mansion on Rend, Dine and Titan (on its vanilla-sized preset), Melanie's Museum more often on harder moons (its Mausoleum is turned off), the Recording Studio on early and mid moons, and the Tomb on EGypt.

Your rules

BaconGameRules adds Game Rules to the host screen. Each save file gets a difficulty (Normal by default) and Scaled for, the crew size the save is balanced for (4 by default, up to 10):

• Fewer players: scrap is worth more, and there are fewer monsters and traps.
• More players: more scrap, and a few more monsters and traps.
• It never changes the quota, the days or how long a day lasts.

The same window holds BaconRPG's and BaconCards' rules: the career mode (pick your own or a random draft), department slots, a late joiner's starting level, a level ceiling, the XP speed, and whether the host or the crew picks the quota cards. SEED in the terminal shows each landing's map seed, and the host can land on a seed again.

Playing together

• Lobbies hold up to 10 players. Hosting a public lobby fills in the lobby tag careers1, and the server list searches it, so you find other Careers lobbies.
• Join in orbit. A player who joins a running save starts at the host's late joiner level, and someone who leaves and comes back keeps their file.
• The host's game keeps everyone's levels, so nobody can join with an edited save. The pack turns on LobbyImprovements' Validate Steam Sessions once, so nobody can take someone else's file.

Performance and first launch

The first start takes longer: BaconMemory makes lighter copies of the moons' sound files, and later starts are quicker and use less RAM. The pack carries the fixes and performance mods of The Company Adventures, without its biggest content.

The Bacon mods

	Mod	What it does
	BaconRPG	XP, promotions, the points tree or a random draft, departments, achievements, the ready check
	BaconCards	Quota cards picked by the host or by vote, moon tiers, run debuffs, shotgun shells in the store
	BaconGameRules	Game Rules per save, crew size scaling, map seeds
	BaconTerminal	A sharper terminal with themes and tables
	BaconMemory	Less RAM for moon sounds
	BaconFixer	Fixes that work in any pack
