LateGameUpgrades

INSTALL THE DEPENDENCIES
ALL CLIENTS NEED THIS MOD INSTALLED
to install just put the MoreShipUpgrades folder in your BepInEx plugins folder.

Everything about this mod can be changed via the extremely extensive config "com.malco.lethalcompany.moreshipupgrades.config"

The config is automatically synced from host to clients excluding changes to equipment (peeper, night vision goggles, portable teles)

Type lategame in the terminal to see mod info!
Type lategame store or lgu to view current upgrade status and cost.
Type info <upgrade> for dynamic info.

This adds:

• 30+ Upgrades.
• 5 complex team oriented missions (Contracts).
• Mission items, NPC, rewards and behaviours.
• A couple store items.

The goal of this mod is to allow you to make playthroughs last longer and to remedy the stale lategame of not having anything to spend your money on and only going to one moon.

If using V40 - downgrade to V2.1.0
If using v45 - downgrade to v2.8.6 If using v50 - downgrade to v3.8.1

Compatibility

This mod changes and patches a lot so problems may arise.

• Bigger Lobby and More Company are more or less compatible but credit desync can arise
• Use common sense, EX: if you download a mod that changes the movement speed of the player every frame and the movement speed upgrade from my mod doesn't work that's why.

Item Progression Mode

This mod offers an alternative mode for obtaining upgrades through selling items to The Company. The following modes are available for playthroughs:

• Apparatice

  • Items that are considered an "apparatus" (configurable due to custom interiors having custom items) will provide a randomly picked upgrade to level up when sold to The Company

• Chance per Scrap

  • When any kind of scrap item is sold to The Company, a roll will be made and check if it meets the chance criteria (value is configurable).
  • If successfull, an upgrade will be picked to level up according to the selected chance mode:
    • Random: an upgrade will be picked at random without any outside factors influencing the choice.
    • Cheapest: the upgrade that has the lowest cost to purchase will be picked
    • Lowest Level: the upgrade that has the lowest level will be picked

• Nearest Value

  • On each quota met event, the value accquired to meet the quota will be used to pick an upgrade that has at least the same cost for the quota value.
  • If no upgrades were found that had a cost lower than the meeting quota, no upgrade is picked.

• Unique Scrap

  • Upon save boot, each scrap item will be associated to an upgrade at random. When the item is sold, percentage of that amount (configurable) is used to contribute to the costs of the respective upgrade. Once the amount contributed to the item has been reached, the upgrade will rank up to the next level (if allowed).

• Custom Scrap

  • Similar logic with "Unique Scrap" but the items assigned to each upgrade are the ones assigned in each upgrade's configuration.
  • The names inserted in this configuration can be either the names displayed in their scan nodes or their internal names (in this case, the value of "itemProperties.itemName)
    • The names are case insensitive

Randomize Upgrades Mode

This mod offers a "Randomize Upgrade" mode where a set amount of upgrades are picked from the total enabled and then shown in the upgrade store.

• You can configure the amount of upgrades that can be picked randomly to appear in the store
• You can configure this mode to allow showing already purchased upgrades.
• You can configure when should the randomization of the upgrades be executed (per moon landing, per moon routing or per quota).

Contracts

• Defusal Contract

  • Look around the facility for a ticking bomb. Defuse it before the timer runs out or anyone near it might meet a gruesome fate.
  • A serial is shown on it. You will need this for the command lookup <serial> in the terminal which it will show the right sequence of wires you need to cut to defuse it.

• Data Contract

  • An old laptop has been found inside the facility with valuable data. Find it and retrieve the disk contained within.
  • Upon first interaction, an IP is displayed that needs to be inputted in the command bruteforce <IP> in the terminal.
  • This will show the user credentials used to log in into the laptop.
  • Upon logging in, a command line screen is displayed. Players will need to navigate through the screen through the commands:
    • ls (list all files in current directory/folder)
    • cd <folder> (move into selected folder)
    • cd .. (move back to parent/previous folder)
    • mv survey.db (retrieve the requested file when present in current directory)

• Exterminator Contract

  • A nest of hoarding bugs has been detected on this facility. Clear them out and destroy the nest.
  • It's this simple: look for the nest while avoiding the monsters within and destroy it. A loot object will spawn after destroying it.

• Exorcism Contract

  • A ritual site has been detected in the facility. Look for the site and stop the ritual by using the correct items scattered around.
  • A pentagram will spawn around the facility that you will need to find. It makes a sound to tell that it's nearby.
  • Upon being found, you can look at the altar and find which demon the altar belongs to. You will need this information for the terminal command demon <demonName>.
  • It will show the list of required items you need to put into the altar to stop the ritual. Any wrong item put in the altar will attract unwanted visitors.
  • Upon inserting the right items, a loot item will spawn to which you can carry to the ship.

• Extraction Contract

  • A fellow employee has been reported missing in the facility. You will need to find him and escort them back to the ship for safety (and disciplinary action by The Company)
  • They will be laying on the floor pleading for help. You can tell when they are nearby through their shouts.
  • You will also find several medkits found in the facility. You will need one as the scavenger appears to have hurt themselves and cannot get back up on their feet.
  • After helping the employee, you will have to carry them out of the facility. They are really heavy and will start making alot of noise when sensing any nearby danger.
  • After being escorted back to the ship, they will thank you for your help non-stop til you arrive at The Company (where you escort them for disciplinary action).

• Particle effects on samples not disabling.

That's all that's coming to mind but there's probably a more I'm forgetting

V 3.0.4 - 2024-1-16

Fixed ritual site sync (scan node and item placement), wheelbarrow weight calculation, data pc local user input, bruteforce command vanilla integer overflow, demonic tome value, multiple contract objects appearing if lobby was recreated, more probably

entering contract when you already have a contract now also displays the info contract message.

lowered volume of extraction scavenger, added config option for volume for extraction scavenger (set to 0 to mute, still attracts enemies), increased interval between voice clips for extraction scavenger, and if he is inside the ship his voice clip interval is trippled. Should make him a little less annoying.

V 3.0.3 - 2024-1-15

More fixes, Data PC contract object not working on remote client, wheelbarrow polish, more

Bugs being worked on: Bomb can spawn kind of inside the wall and be impossible to defuse / read serial code. Apparently multiple contract objects can spawn? EX: 3 scavengers to extract will spawn.

V 3.0.2 - 2024-1-15

Just some bug fixes, most importantly not being able to move after dying lol.

Additionally issues with disabling items in the config should be resolved.

Wheelbarrows, shopping carts, and the scavenger you rescue in the extraction contract aren't being saved by the ship at the moment even though they should be. Being investigated but we're both off for the night so I thought I'd get this out first.

V 3.0.0 - 2024-1-14

This is probably my favourite update so far and should breathe a lot of life into the game.

Contracts

Contracts are difficult team oriented missions that serve two purposes: extra income and incentive to visit non high tier moons.
Enter contract into the terminal to receive a random contract for a random moon.
As usual all contracts are completely configurable.
Currently there are 5 contracts implemented (click to expand):

  • change effective distance of lightning rod in the cfg to tweak this.
• Fast Encryption
  • This is just the Pager if anyone remembers the pager upgrade with some minor tweaks.
  • I removed the pager when the transmitter came out but I like using this more so it's back in.
  • You need a signal translator purchased to use this, overrides the vanilla transmit so it instantly sends the message discretely to all clients and plays a sfx.

  • Also a bit of a nerf as scanning through walls instantly was very op
  • Level 1 - Increase scan distance
  • Level 2 - Unlocks 5 new commands

    • You could now for example set up your night vision to be infinite but each upgrade increases how far you can see in the dark with it.
  • a new config should be generated as the config values operate in a much different range now (should happen automatically)
• Fixes including

    • The cost of the first will be 123, the second will be 321, and so on.
    • Remove the entry to make it a non tiered upgrade.
    • This might get kinda depreciated as more complex upgrade behaviours emerge.
  • Shared or individual upgrade option.
  • Even more night vision config options.

• Incompatability Coping

  • Previous attempts to get player cap mods fully compatible didn't completely work.
  • If credit desync occurs you can type syncCredits to attempt the rpc again.
  • If that fails clients can type forceCredits 123 to manually sync credits.
