ExtraMouths

A PEAK mod that scales map forage food (berries, coconuts, mushrooms, and similar) when more than four players are connected.

Only the host needs this mod.

Formula

When 5 or more players are connected (host-side):

multiplier = (connectedPlayers + ExtraPlayers) / BaselinePlayers

Defaults: ExtraPlayers = 2, BaselinePlayers = 4, MinPlayersToScale = 5.

Connected players	Effective mouths	Multiplier
1–4	—	vanilla (mod skipped)
5	7	1.75x
6	8	2.0x
10	12	3.0x

What gets scaled (defaults)

• Berry bushes
• Berry vines
• Ground forage (e.g. mushrooms)
• Food spawn pools on plain spawners (coconuts, winterberries, kingberries, clusterberries, nests, cactus fruit, redwood fungi, etc.)

Luggage is not scaled by default. Campfire marshmallows are unchanged (use a lobby-size mod such as PEAK Unlimited for those).

Configuration

After one launch, edit:

BepInEx/config/ExtraMouths.cfg

Key	Default	Meaning
ExtraPlayers	2	Extra mouths beyond the live lobby
BaselinePlayers	4	Vanilla balance party size
MinPlayersToScale	5	Below this → full vanilla rates
BerryBushes / BerryVines / GroundSpawns / FoodSpawnPools	true	Toggle food categories
Luggages	empty	Optional luggage display names to multiply

Install

1. Use r2modman / Gale with BepInEx for PEAK, or drop the built DLL into BepInEx/plugins/.
2. Do not run this together with other item-multiplier mods that patch the same spawners.

Build

Requires PEAK installed (auto-detected under common Steam paths), or set PEAK_GAME_DIR / -p:PeakGameRootDir=.

dotnet build -c Release

Optional deploy: -p:DeployToPeak=true -p:PeakPluginsDir="/path/to/BepInEx/plugins/ExtraMouths"
Optional overrides: copy Config.Build.user.props.example → Config.Build.user.props (gitignored).

Thunderstore packaging (CI)

Every push to master runs .github/workflows/thunderstore.yml:

1. Builds a Thunderstore ZIP (using stripped PEAKGameLibs for compile references)
2. Uploads a workflow artifact named FakeGameDevelopers-ExtraMouths

Download that artifact and upload the resulting FakeGameDevelopers-ExtraMouths.zip straight to Thunderstore — no unpacking/repacking needed. Publish under the FakeGameDevelopers team.

Manual publish from Actions

1. Actions → Thunderstore → Run workflow
2. Enable Publish the package to Thunderstore
3. Requires repo secret TCLI_AUTH_TOKEN (Thunderstore team → Service Accounts)

Auto-publish on every master push

1. Add secret TCLI_AUTH_TOKEN
2. Add repository variable AUTO_PUBLISH_THUNDERSTORE = true

Without that variable, pushes only build artifacts (safe default).

Local package build

dotnet build -c Release -target:PackTS
# zip lands in artifacts/thunderstore/
