RuinedBodies
Host-authoritative ruined monster bodies: pick-up-able $0-value ruined bodies with an optional textured low-poly guts visual and event-driven spawn detection.Ruined Bodies 1.0.0
Maintainer: erockuli
Game: Lethal Company
Loader: BepInEx 5
Ruined Bodies gives matched spawned monster-body items an 80% default chance to become ruined without removing their normal pickup interaction.
Features
- Each matched body remains pick-up-able.
- The host makes one authoritative ruined/not-ruined roll and replicates that decision to clients.
- Ruined bodies receive a
Ruinedscan-name prefix and are locked to $0 value. - Optional stylized, textured low-poly guts rendering (enabled by default); colour inversion is off by default.
- Player-death ragdolls are excluded.
- Event-driven spawn handling with low-frequency fallback maintenance.
Multiplayer
Install the same version on the host and every client. The host sends each body's decision to clients through Netcode named messages. Clients apply the received decision by network ID rather than rerolling the outcome. Existing decisions are replayed for late joiners.

Performance
The plugin uses spawn-event handling as its primary detection path. Network maintenance is throttled and the defensive spawned-object sweep runs every two seconds; there is no plugin-level per-frame polling loop.
