Usage

It is highly recommended to use a mod manager (Thunderstore Mod Manager, Gale Mod Manager, or r2modman) to install this mod. If installing manually, then Trainworks Reloaded must be installed as well.

Once installed via mod manager or manually. The file to edit is BalanceConfigurator.Plugin.cfg. The default values are those used within the game. Edit to your liking.

If installed via a Mod Manager. The file can be edited in the config editor
If installed manually it should be placed where you installed BepinEx. Normally such an install would be placed in the same directory as the game's executable. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Monster Train 2\BepInEx\config\BalanceConfigurator.Plugin.cfg

Warning

As with all non cosmetic mods and as a warning do not do anything online such as community challenges or the daily challenge with modded content. Getting an unfair advantage and setting a high score will surely get you banned (Steam forums post - Don't anger ShinySteve!).

The default configuration in the mod (see usage below) is the same as how the game was configured.

The only probably safe fields you can modify without giving an yourself an unfair advantage in online play are

Main class Xp factor
Subclass Xp factor
Alternate champion unlock level
Chance of optional outpost dialogue after a run
Fast dialogue multiplier
Maximum number of entries present in Run History
Card Mastery for other run types
Deck sort options
Soul savior specific fields

Important

F8 bug reports will be disabled with this mod enabled (you can still open the menu, but submitting a report won't send it anywhere). This feature was asked for directly from Shiny Shoe and should be present in most mods. If you find a bug in the game and suspect that it isn't due to your use of mods, file a report at Monster Train 2 Bugs and Technical issues :: Steam Community or on the Shiny Shoe discord.
