Changelog

[Unreleased]

• Default tuning pass for the public release. Events fire much less often than the previous test-mode defaults, loot is tripled instead of doubled, and small counts trimmed for balance.
  • LootMultiplier: 2 → 3 (triple loot)
  • Tornado interval: 10–30s → 90–120s; lifetime 60s → 30s
  • BananaPeel interval: 10–30s → 60–90s; min per player 2 → 1
  • Tumbleweed interval: 10–30s → 60–90s; per-player range 2–5 → 1–3
  • Dynamite interval: 15–30s → 60–90s
  • Eruption interval: 15–30s → 60–90s
  • Scoutmaster chase time: 60s → 30s
• Fixed EnableRandomDynamite description that still said "lit on spawn by default" — it's actually false (unlit) since 0.12.0.
• README config tables + tuning recipes updated to reflect the new defaults.

[0.12.0]

Big quality-of-life release. Major redesigns to MarkerSpawn, Dynamite, BananaPeel; new Tumbleweed, ChestTraps, and SafeZones sections; lots of bug fixes.

MarkerSpawn (middle-click pickaxe drop)

• Now drops a real Mesa pickaxe (鹤嘴锄) instead of a piton. Photon prefab name (0_Items/PickAxeHammered_Shitty) verified against Wesmania/RandomEvents PingGrabber.
• Reads PointPing.hitNormal directly for accurate surface attachment on walls / overhangs / slopes. Old approach raycast in 5 world directions and often picked up the floor beneath a wall.
• Caught instantly via a Harmony Postfix on PointPing.Start (no more 200 ms polling that missed rapid pings).
• Spawned pickaxes don't crack/break. Mesa's preplaced pickaxes still behave normally — we tag our spawns via InstantiationData so PickaxePermanencePatch only affects ours.
• Up to 2 unclaimed pickaxes per player (hardcoded). New ping past the cap removes the one farthest from the player so the freshly-spawned and held ones are always preserved.
• Auto-cleanup at 60s hardcoded — no more MarkerSpawnLifetime config.
• Spawn position offset 0.3 m out from the surface along the normal so the model doesn't z-fight inside the wall.
• Used Quaternion.LookRotation(-normal, Vector3.up) (matching the game's own HammerClimbingSpike) so the spike pokes properly into the wall.

Dynamite (face-drop)

• Redesigned from "drop near random player on the ground" → "drop right in front of the player's face from head height."
• Default LightDynamiteOnSpawn = false — drops an unlit stick the player can pick up and use, instead of bombing them.
• New configs: DynamiteForwardDistance (default 1 m in front of head), DynamiteDropHeight (default 0 m above head), DynamiteSidewaysJitter (default ±0.5 m).
• Old DynamiteOffsetMin/Max repurposed as horizontal scatter — defaults changed from 20/100 → 0/5.
• Item.SetState(ItemState.Ground) called on spawn so the rigidbody actually falls under gravity (PEAK items default to kinematic until the game's own drop logic activates them).
• Respects campfire safe zone.

Tumbleweed (new section)

• Tumbleweeds rain from above each player (same pattern as banana rain) using PEAK's native TumbleWeed prefab.
• Default 15 s lifetime per tumbleweed.
• Respects campfire safe zone.

BananaPeel (rain)

• Peels spawn high above each player and fall via gravity instead of materializing at foot level.
• Each peel is independent (random rotation, no more cumulative trail offset).
• Respects campfire safe zone.

SafeZones (new section)

• CampfireSafeRadius (default 30 m) — bubble around every campfire (biome rest + player-lit) where Tornado / Eruption / BananaPeel / Tumbleweed / Dynamite events skip the player.
• EnableCampfireInvincibility (default on) — patches CharacterAfflictions.AddStatus so any positive status (injury, cold, hot, hunger, poison, …) is blocked while a player stands inside the safe radius. Healing still works.

ChestTraps (new section)

• Each chest opening rolls per-trap chances:
  • Scoutmaster trap (default 5% chance) — teleports the existing Scoutmaster to the chest and forces him to hunt the opener for ScoutmasterChaseTime seconds. Uses the networked RPCA_SetCurrentTarget RPC so the AI on every client receives the assignment.
  • Mushroom Zombie trap (default 10%) — spawns 1–2 zombies at the chest, sets their wake-up time to 0, locks them onto the opener.

Other events

• Tornado: Kiln detection now compares against the Segment.TheKiln enum (was a magic int >= 4 that sometimes leaked tornadoes to the summit).
• Eruption: respects campfire safe zone.
• All events gated on Plugin.IsInGameRun() — nothing fires in the airport / lobby.

Bug fixes

• Bushes no longer get randomized items. Removed LootTablePatch (which patched LootData.GetRandomItem(s), hit by every spawner not just chests). Randomization is now handled in SpawnerPatch along with the multiplier; that patch filters by ChestSpawnerTypeNames (Luggage, RespawnChest) so non-chest spawners pass through to vanilla logic.
• Marker pickaxe no longer destroys items the player is holding. Eviction checks Item.holderCharacter AND walks the GameObject's parent chain to detect "in a Character's hand/inventory" — both signals are checked; either one passing skips destroy. As of 0.12.0 the dominant safeguard is the "evict farthest from pinger" rule (anything held is 0–1 m away vs walls being further).
• Bombs no longer hover in mid-air. Items spawned via PhotonNetwork.InstantiateItemRoom default to kinematic; we now call Item.SetState(ItemState.Ground) to enable gravity.
• All networked spawns now use PhotonNetwork.Destroy via the shared Plugin.DelayedNetworkDestroy helper instead of Object.Destroy, so despawns replicate to every client (no more ghost objects on clients).
• Marker pitons no longer bury themselves inside walls. Switched the rotation calc from Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, normal) to Quaternion.LookRotation(-normal, Vector3.up) to match the game's own placement.

Configuration

• New configs across sections (see README's full reference): DynamiteForwardDistance, DynamiteDropHeight, DynamiteSidewaysJitter, TumbleweedIntervalMin/Max/sPerPlayerMin/Max/Lifetime/DropHeight, BananaPeelDropHeight, CampfireSafeRadius, EnableCampfireInvincibility, EnableScoutmasterTrap, ScoutmasterTrapChance, ScoutmasterChaseTime, EnableZombieTrap, ZombieTrapChance, ZombieCountMin/Max, ZombieLifetime.
• Removed configs: MarkerSpawnItemName, MarkerSpawnLifetime, MarkerSpawnMaxActive, DynamiteOffsetMin/Max (the old "distance from player" pair).
• All descriptions are bilingual (English line + Chinese line) so the cfg file is readable in either language.
• LootMultiplier now rounded to nearest integer at read time (no fractional item counts).

Docs

• README rewritten for the public Thunderstore page.
• Recommends installing PEAKModding/ModConfig for in-game live config editing.
• Adds "Upgrading from an older version" notice — delete HappyPeak.cfg when updating, since BepInEx doesn't backfill new entries into an existing cfg.
• "Recent changes" section.
• Renamed mod's tagline + general polish.

[0.11.5]

• Initial public Thunderstore release.
• Chest randomization with custom blacklist + loot multiplier.
• Tornado, BananaPeel (trail), Dynamite (lit), MarkerSpawn (piton), Eruption events.
• Bilingual config descriptions.
