Durability And Lantern Control Mod

A BepInEx mod for Outward Definitive Edition that lets you customize durability loss for weapons, armor and lanterns — or make them completely infinite. Also allows you to adjust lantern light intensity, range and color.

Requirements

• BepInEx for Outward
• Outward Config Manager (required to configure the mod in-game)

Features

All settings are available in-game via the Config Manager (press F5).

Activation

Setting	Description	Default
Activate Mod	Enables or disables the entire mod	true

Durability Multipliers

Setting	Description	Default
Weapon Durability Multiplier	Multiplies durability loss for all weapons. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss	0
Armor Durability Multiplier	Multiplies durability loss for all armor pieces. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss	0
Lantern Durability Multiplier	Multiplies durability loss for lanterns. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss	0
Other Items Durability Multiplier	Multiplies durability loss for any other item not listed above. 0 = infinite, 1 = normal, 2 = double loss	1

All multiplier sliders range from 0.0 to 5.0.
Values above 1.0 make the game harder — items degrade faster than normal.

Lantern Light

Setting	Description	Default
Enable Lantern Light Modifier	Enables or disables light modifications	false
Light Intensity Multiplier	Multiplies the lantern's light intensity. 0 = no light, 1 = normal, 2 = double	1
Light Range Multiplier	Multiplies the lantern's light range. 0 = no range, 1 = normal, 2 = double	1
Light Color R (Red)	Red channel of the lantern light color (0.0 to 1.0)	1
Light Color G (Green)	Green channel of the lantern light color (0.0 to 1.0)	0.6
Light Color B (Blue)	Blue channel of the lantern light color (0.0 to 1.0)	0.2

Light changes apply the next time the lantern is lit.
