Shrinkinator
Adds the Shrinkinator: a ray gun that sprays green mist shrinking whatever it hits. Valuables shrink permanently (cheaper, easier to carry!), enemies and players shrink temporarily. Shrunken enemies are lighter to lift - but not stunned. 6 charges.Shrinkinator
Adds a new shop item: the Shrinkinator - a retro ray gun that sprays a cloud of green shrinking mist. Anything caught in the mist shrinks several times over.
Features
- Valuables shrink PERMANENTLY - size, mass and (optionally) price scale down, and repeated shots stack. Tiny valuables are much easier to haul back to the truck.
- Enemies & players shrink TEMPORARILY (20 seconds by default) and then grow back.
- Shrunken enemies are much lighter to lift with the physics grab - but they are NOT stunned. Handle with care anyway.
- 6 charges via the vanilla battery (battery bar = charge count), rechargeable at charge stations.
- Custom procedural ray-gun model - dark metal body, glowing green tank, barrel rings and muzzle orb. No vanilla pistol look-alike. Can be disabled in config.
- Tuned handling: grabs by the grip, center of mass in the grip (no wobble), barrel aligned with the camera - it actually shoots where you look, unlike a certain vanilla gun.
- Fully synced in multiplayer via Photon RPC.
IMPORTANT: required by ALL players
The mod syncs over the network. Every player in the lobby must have it installed (host and clients), otherwise effects will desync.
Installation
Install with r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager (recommended), or manually:
- Install BepInEx 5.4.21 and run the game once.
- Install REPOLib (4.2.0).
- Put
Shrinkinator.dllintoBepInEx/plugins/. - Repeat for every player in the lobby.
The gun appears in the shop (weapons section), priced 1.5x the vanilla pistol (configurable).

Known limitations
- The mod was tested by compiler and against game assemblies, not in a live session yet. If something looks off, check the BepInEx console for lines tagged
[Shrinkinator]and report them. - Local player camera height is not adjusted while you are shrunk (visual only for others).
- For some enemies the visual scale heuristic (first Animator under the enemy root) may scale a different branch of the hierarchy.
- Works through walls: the mist cloud can catch targets slightly behind thin cover.
