PopupReducer

A BepInEx mod for MycoPunk that reduces the size and obstructiveness of reward popups during gameplay.

Description

This client-side mod addresses the screen clutter caused by large reward popups that can obscure gameplay visibility when collecting upgrades. The mod reduces popup size by 50% and repositions them to the right side of the screen, making them much less intrusive while still being visible for progress tracking.

The mod automatically monitors the GameManager.upgradePopups collection and adds resizing/scaling components to new popup instances when they are created. This ensures all reward popups (from upgrades, resources, achievements, etc.) are consistently sized and positioned.

Visual Changes:

• Repositioned: Popups appear 200 units to the right of original position
• Real-Time Application: New popups are resized immediately when created

Affected Content:

• Upgrade rewards and collectible discoveries
• Resource acquisition notifications

• Any other system-generated reward popups

Debug Features:

• Press F1 in-game to log current popup count to BepInEx console

Help

• Popups still big? This mod only affects reward popups, not other UI elements like dialogs or menus
• Position wrong? The mod repositions popups relative to their original spawned location
• Not all popups affected? Some very special popups may use different systems - this covers the main upgrade popup list
• Performance impact? Minimal - only monitors popup lists and applies simple scale/position changes
• Incompatible with mods? Shouldn't conflict as it targets specific popup GameObjects
• Want bigger popups? Disable the mod to restore original size and positioning
• Debug info? Press F1 during gameplay to log current popup information to BepInEx console
