• Configure curved quota growth with sharpness and randomizer
• Configure growth dampening which slows down quota increases the longer you play
• Configure player count scaling with threshold, cap and per player multiplier
• Configure rollover which transfers any extra fulfilment to the next quota
• Configure randomized deadline
• Configure credit penalties when crew members die
• Configure quota penalties when crew members die
• Configure randomly lost scrap items on a full crew wipe
• Configure reduced scrap value on full crew wipe
• Configure randomly lost purchased equipment on a full crew wipe
• Disable quota entirely
• Configure new quota animation speed
• Show actual penalty values on fine UI
• Configure the Company's buy rate with min/max clamp, random rate, last-day override and jackpot rolls
• LethalConstellations compatibility with per-constellation deadline modes [ fixed, random or use global ]

Configuration Options

0. Basic

• Starting Credits - Credits you start with on a new game
• Starting Quota - First quota value on a new game
• Days To Deadline - Days per quota cycle. Ignored when RandomizeDeadline is on
• Randomize Deadline - Pick a random deadline length each cycle using the min/max below. Also used by constellations in Use Global mode
• Deadline Min - Minimum days when random deadline is enabled
• Deadline Max - Maximum days when random deadline is enabled
• Deadline Must Change - Forces the next random deadline to differ from the previous one
• Base Increase - Base amount the quota goes up each cycle
• Curve Sharpness - Controls how fast the quota scales. Higher = slower growth
• Randomizer Multiplier - Adds variation to quota increases. 0 = no randomness, 1 = vanilla variance

Quota growth formula

increase ≈ BaseIncrease * (1 + quota² / CurveSharpness) * randomFactor
randomFactor ∈ [1 - 0.5*RandomizerMultiplier, 1 + 0.5*RandomizerMultiplier]

Worked example with defaults (BaseIncrease=100, CurveSharpness=16, RandomizerMultiplier=1), average roll:

1. Leveling

• Final Level - Quota value where curved growth switches to flat. Set -1 to disable
• Final Increase - Flat increase used after hitting FinalLevel
• Quota Cap - Maximum quota value. Set -1 for no limit
• Enable Growth Dampening - Gradually reduces quota growth the longer you play
• Dampening Start At - How many fulfilled quotas before dampening kicks in
• Dampening Sharpness - How aggressively growth is reduced. Lower = stronger dampening

Dampening formula (only active after DampeningStartAt quota):

excess = currentQuota - DampeningStartAt
divisor = 1 + (excess / DampeningSharpness)²
finalIncrease = curveIncrease / divisor

Worked example: DampeningStartAt=6, DampeningSharpness=11, at cycle 10:

excess = 10 - 6 = 4
divisor = 1 + (4/11)² ≈ 1.13
=> growth shrinks by ~12%

2. Player.Scaling

• Enable Player Multiplier - Scale quota increases based on how many players are connected
• Player Threshold - Player count where scaling starts
• Player Cap - Maximum players counted for scaling
• Multiplier Per Player - Extra multiplier per player above the threshold

Multiplier formula:

extra = clamp(playerCount - PlayerThreshold, 0, PlayerCap - PlayerThreshold)
multiplier = 1 + extra * MultPerPlayer

Worked example: 4 players, PlayerThreshold=2, PlayerCap=4, MultPerPlayer=0.25:

extra = clamp(4 - 2, 0, 4 - 2) = 2
multiplier = 1 + 2 * 0.25 = 1.5x

5th player would not raise this further because of the cap.

3. Optional

• Disable Quota - Disables the quota system entirely
• Rollover Amount - Percentage of excess fulfillment that carries over to the next cycle. 0 = none

Rollover example: quota was 100, you sold $150 of scrap (overage = $50), RolloverAmount = 0.5:

carried = $50 * 0.5 = $25 → applied toward next quota

4. Penalties.Credits / 5. Penalties.Quota

• Enabled - Apply the penalty when crew members die
• On Gordion - Apply the penalty even at The Company
• Percent Per Player - Per-death amount when Dynamic = false
• Dynamic - Switch to ratio-based mode using PercentCap as the scale
• Percent Cap - Hard ceiling (fixed mode) / scale (Dynamic mode)
• Percent Threshold - Penalties below this percent are ignored
• Recovery Bonus - Recovered bodies reduce the penalty

Formulas:

fixedMode: pct = dead * PercentPerPlayer        (clamped to PercentCap)
dynamicMode: pct = (dead / total) * PercentCap    (naturally ≤ PercentCap)

if recovered > 0:
    pct *= 1 - RecoveryBonus * (recovered / dead)

if pct < PercentThreshold: pct = 0

Worked example A — fixed mode, 8-player lobby, 2 dead, PercentPerPlayer=0.15, PercentCap=0.5:

pct = 2 * 0.15 = 30%   (under 50% cap → applied as-is)

Worked example B — dynamic mode, 8-player lobby, 2 dead, PercentCap=0.05:

pct = (2 / 8) * 0.05 = 1.25%

Worked example C — recovery bonus, 4 dead, 2 recovered, RecoveryBonus=0.5, base 30%:

pct = 30% * (1 - 0.5 * 2/4) = 30% * 0.75 = 22.5%

6. Loss.Scrap

• Enabled - Randomly lose collected scrap items when the entire crew is wiped
• Items Safe Chance - Chance for each item to be protected from loss
• Lose Each Scrap Chance - Chance to lose an unprotected item
• Max Lost Scrap Items - Maximum scrap items that can be lost per round

Per-item loss chance:

lossChance = (1 - ItemsSafeChance) * LoseEachScrapChance

Worked example: 10 items on the ship, ItemsSafeChance=0.5, LoseEachScrapChance=0.1:

lossChance = 0.5 * 0.1 = 5% per item
expected losses ≈ 10 * 0.05 = 0.5 items per wipe (capped at MaxLostScrapItems)

7. Loss.Value

• Enabled - Reduce scrap value of all ship items on full crew wipe
• Percent - How much of scrap value to remove. Stacks on repeated wipes

Stacking example: Percent = 0.25 (each wipe removes 25%), 3 wipes in a row on the same scrap:

remaining = (1 - 0.25)³ = 0.75³ ≈ 0.42
=> scrap retains ~42% of its original value

8. Loss.Equipment

• Enabled - Randomly lose purchased equipment when the entire crew is wiped
• Lose Each Equipment Chance - Chance for each equipment item to be lost
• Max Lost Equipment Items - Maximum equipment items lost per round

Worked example: 6 equipment items on the ship, LoseEachEquipmentChance=0.05, MaxLostEquipmentItems=1:

expected losses ≈ 6 * 0.05 = 0.3 items per wipe (capped at 1)

9. UI

• Quota Animation Speed - Speed of the new quota pop-up animation. Higher = faster

X. Buy.Rate

Native port of BuyRateSettings features. All entries default OFF; the Company's daily buy rate is vanilla until you enable something here. The host computes the rate and broadcasts it to clients — no desync.

• MinMaxEnabled - Clamp daily buy rate to [MinRate, MaxRate]. Required for RandomRateEnabled
• MinRate / MaxRate - The clamp / random-pick bounds (e.g. 0.2 = 20%)
• RandomRateEnabled - Pick the daily rate uniformly in [MinRate, MaxRate]
• LastDayRateEnabled - On the deadline's last day, override using LastDayMinRate / LastDayMaxRate
• LastDayRangeChance - Chance to use the range; on miss, fall back to 100%
• LastDayMinRate / LastDayMaxRate - Last-day bounds (or fixed if equal)
• JackpotEnabled - Allow a chance to roll a jackpot rate
• JackpotLastDayOnly - Only roll the jackpot on the deadline's last day
• JackpotChance - Chance per eligible day (e.g. 0.01 = 1%)
• JackpotMinRate / JackpotMaxRate - Jackpot bounds (or fixed if equal)
• BuyRateAlertEnabled - Yellow on-screen alert when the rate changes (per-client)
• JackpotAlertEnabled - Red SCRAP EMERGENCY alert with sound on jackpot (per-client)
• AlertDelaySeconds - Delay before the alert displays. Increase to 8+ if it overlaps BetterEXP / DiscountAlerts

Precedence (host evaluates in order, first hit wins):

1. Jackpot       → JackpotEnabled AND chance roll AND (last-day if LastDayOnly)
2. Last-day rate → LastDayRateEnabled AND daysUntilDeadline == 0
3. Random rate   → RandomRateEnabled AND MinMaxEnabled
4. Min/Max clamp → MinMaxEnabled (clamps the vanilla rate)
5. Vanilla       → none of the above

Sample run (JackpotEnabled=true, chance=1%, last-day-only, LastDayMin=Max=1.2, MinMax=true, Min=0.3, Max=1.0):

Compatibility — LethalConstellations

A separate com.seeya.configurablequota_constellations.cfg is auto-generated only when LethalConstellations is detected. Each constellation gets its own block:

• DeadlineMode - UseGlobal, Fixed, or Random
• FixedDaysToDeadline - Used when set to Fixed
• DeadlineMin / DeadlineMax - Used when set to Random

FAQ

Q: Can I use this with other quota mods?

Not recommended.
