Bakasan RNG Pack

ℹ️ About Baka-san's WACK RNG

Welcome to Baka-san's WACK RNG modpack. A different experience that utilizes the modding community's best mods to change R.E.P.O.'s gameplay loop into something familiar, but different. The Taxman does not possess infinite patience, so he has given you a limited amount of time to complete your objective of repossessing valuables.

Don't worry, for the Taxman is kind, and offers you both bonus time, and bonus money should you complete an extraction with a generous amount of time remaining. But should you hit 0...

  • Thank you for installing my modpack, at over +1k downloads already! Really just wanted an easier way to install my modpack for my friends, but I might as well decide to fully step into the door of making it a whole thing. A month and a half later and we're still going strong, but that's a testament to the creative minds and community here for R.E.P.O.!
  • Added back in the previous UpgradeEveryRound mod to keep the progression consistent, while Repo Leveling helps with building towards permanence. To balance this out, PainfulDeath removes an upgrade from you (Only in co-op, yet to test further)! Put shop prices at 1.75x seems to be okay for the most part, but still needs testing in co-op. In addition, still thinking of switching shop mods around for better mod compatibility. Everything subject to change!
  • This modpack is currently untested for the beta branch. Play at your own risk!

0️⃣ Core Principles

Baka-san's WACK RNG contains 3 key differences that change the way you play. Major changes include:

• ❌ Removing all vanilla upgrades from the shop, and are now acquired throughout the levels. However, the Taxman is not so cruel. Every successful round results in 1 additional upgrade for that run. For every run attempt, you will get one permanent upgrade to take with you in the next run. Interest!
• 🛒 Pure item shop! With less money spent on upgrades, shops are now adjusted accordingly (currently 2x its vanilla price). Money is still important!
• ⏰ Time IS money. The taxman doesn't like wasting either, so you'll have to go through the levels under time pressure!

It is imperative to play on the same save file at all times when using this modpack for maximum enjoyment and consistency.

1️⃣ Mod Details - Foundational

The following mods make this unique loop possible:

• Redfops' UpgradeEveryRound implements the ability to choose one vanilla upgrade per round, giving you a better chance to fight back against the monsters that lurk within. Keep in mind that these upgrades stick around so long as you are alive, and these temporary upgrades will not persist between runs!
• Einhornyordle's Repo Leveling lets you choose one vanilla upgrade to keep with you permanently once your run ends. It gets easier and easier, but more upgrades demand more runs, and more success...
• Altaire's PainfulDeath punishes you for dying. When your only option is to die, the Taxman prefers that you shut down with a price. In co-op, one upgrade will be removed you every time you die. Your life is precious, after all.
• itsUndefined's Shop Items Spawn in Level enables shop items to spawn every level, with our customizability tailored to almost-equal weight to every item available. As of its latest version, item upgrades and drones (both modded and vanilla) are the only items enabled to spawn.
• With the previous mod handling item upgrade spawns, a combination of the mods below help change the logic of the shop itself.
  • BULLETBOT's MoreUpgrades
  • BULLETBOT's VanillaUpgrades
  • GalaxyMod's MoreShopItems
  • Dj_Haski's AdvanceMyShop
• Swaggies' TimeAttack enables a time limit tied to each level. Each successful extraction extends the timer, and bonus money/time for faster extractions.
• TheRavenNest's UnlimitedOrbs removes the cap for the maximum amount of monster orbs you can obtain from fighting back. It only makes sense that with the limitation of time, enabling a different style of play can help contribute to extending time and succeeding in successful extractions.
• Enchanted_Games' ExploitFix will be used as a temporary fix for the current exploits of the game. No more naughty naughty! (Don't worry, I did the same thing too!)
• DimaBroZY's HealOnLobby is a more flavourful implementation of the healing pack exploit! This is fundamentally different from getting HP when arriving at the truck to extract. Now, in addition to the 25HP heal from the truck, you will now be rewarded with an additional 15% of your maximum HP AFTER visiting the shop. This will give you a tiny cushion of HP no matter what, and should encourage you to try saving your fellow semibots from certain doom. A healthier team is a help-ier team?

2️⃣ Mod Details - Roundationals (Items)

With the core foundational mods in place, it is only right to add mods that serve to round out the roguelike vision I have, extend the offerings and variety of monsters and loot, and further mix the pot of chaos.

• Yuckers' UniquePotions excites minute-to-minute gameplay options with truly unique potions with varying effects, which one will you try?
• dig's REPOPresents mixes "Lucky Block"-style valuables that adds a spice to your already-limited runs. Will you break the present for a chance at better loot? Or suffer the loss of even worse RNG?
• khalliv's MultipleUseUpgrades adds a chance for upgrades to not be consumed upon use, effectively doubling or tripling the value of that upgrade. What's a greater feeling that hitting those small odds?
• SeroRonin's ItemBundles widens the playability for groups that play together, utilizing a vanilla-friendly way of sharing upgrades without breaking the economy. In our case, it lets the discovery of finding a bundle in the wild just that much better. Did I forget to mention that this also has the chance to not be consumed?
• Zehs' DestructibleDrone is a flipped take on the Indestructible Drone, where at the risk of greater fragility, your valuable's worth skyrockets. And before you think about it, it cannot be stacked with other drones to circumvent its effect. Effectively a type of double-or-nothing, and under a time limit? Good luck!
• kekprod's Bigger Cart places a bigger cart in the shop for you to purchase, increasing your potential keep! Now you'll have that extra bit of room to fit more valuables in one go! Especially with the amount of things to find now that additional items exist within the spawn pool.
• To top off the many things you are now able to buy, DirtyGames' REPOGambling inserts a roulette machine for you to further gamble your money away, should you have extra. The pure definition of RNG. Be warned, the odds always favour the house...

3️⃣ Mod Details - Roundationals (Monsters)

That's not all my WACK RNG has to offer. Differing flavours of the gameplay loop brings different enemies. Some you may already recognize, and others probably not. No matter which side you're on, every level will be a different experience.

• Magic_Wesley's Wesley_Enemies needs no introductions. With a fantastic selection of enemies that fit right into the R.E.P.O. aesthetic, you'll find it also home in our experience as well.
• PaintedThornStudio's MCZombieMod spawns in the iconic Zombie from the beloved sandbox behemoth Minecraft. Goofy addition, but you'll soon see why. And because it's a familiar foe, doesn't mean you should underestimate its horde capabilities...
• eth9n's Mimic enables the ability for enemies to mimic our speech, giving monsters additional functionality to confuse and disconcert. For our tailored experience, not all enemies have the ability to mimic. If your circuits are electrifying, you should connect as to who may possess this functionality...
• FNKT_Labs' BerserkerEnemies spices up later levels with nigh-unkillable, resource-expensive, unstunnable enemies who challenge your intelligence and skills to maneuver and manipulate groups of enemies. Because if you try to destroy these berserked monsters, expect your time and life to dwindle. But who knows, the rewards may be worth it.

4️⃣ Mod Details - Roundationals (Levels)

With all that said, there's no way the Taxman will only stop with just our 3 vanilla level templates. In addition to the custom levels below, more will be added as the community modding grows:

• ArilcedT's MinecraftStrongholdLevel is the reason why the Zombie is here. I'm kidding, it's a great set of custom levels to play R.E.P.O. in, and what better inclusion to potentially introduce us into this world than the more-than-appropriate Zombie.
• Beaniebe's Deeproot Garden adds a vanilla-friendly tile set based on the wonderful gardens of old and new. The doors may be short, but the danger behind these walls remain ever so deadly.
• Wesleys' Wesley Levels introduces you to a vanilla-friendly bunker based on his inspiration of the horror series Amnesia. What lurks in the cold, concrete walls below the surface of our once-green Earth?

5️⃣ Mod Details - Roundationals (Valuables)

Second last but definitely not the least, valuables that serve to further diversify R.E.P.O.'s offerings are contributed by the wonderful mods:

• Magic_Wesley's Wesleys Valuables for more Wesley goodness.
• Zehs' LethalCompanyValuables for the familarity of this genre, yet still fits somehow.
• Nikki's AbioticFactorValuabes for near-matching aesthetics!
• s1ckboy's SteampunkItems for a cool set of steampunk-themed items!
• Dumbapple's MonsterPlushies adds a cute suite of your favourite monsters as soft plushie valuables to collect! Cute, valuable and scary!

6️⃣ Mod Details - Quality Of Life

Additional QoL features have been added to help smoothen the experience, but does not make the overall gameplay easier:

• darmuh's FovUpdate to help those who may feel motion sickness with the game itself. Even with the options provided within Gameplay and Graphics, having full FOV control means that you are free to see what you want, the way you want.
• SaturnKai's Dead_Man_Access for the ability to view your map when spectating, enabling the ability to orient yourself to the map instead of always having to fully remember each room and its connection. This modpack already does a lot, so at the very least I personally feel that this is necessary.
• CoddingCat's ToggleMute gives us the ability to bind a key to mute our microphones, mostly for convenience!
• starktron's OutOfLoot for the simple, unintrusive method of letting you know if there is not enough loot on the map to extract.
• MelanieMelicious' Cart Lights MelanieMelicious for the simple extra lights on the cart, for those times where your flashlight clears your cart, yet the light doesn't shine through. Additional config options provided for extra customizability!
• discjenny's CartSpeedSync finally syncs the cart speed with your speed. No more wasting energy on a cart that slows you down! But it's not all sunshine and rainbows with this ease of use. There's a reason it had a max speed, and I pray you don't find out the hard way.
• DougHRito's HunterGun + HunterDropsGun for things that just makes sense. You defeat the Huntsman, and some of the time his gun is destroyed in the process. But what if...?
• khalliv's ShoppingListHUD to help keep track of what you're purchasing!
• Swaggies's RepoDRP to show off to others how far you're getting in your runs!
• Index154's SpawnConfig for the ability to customize monster spawns!
• Xiaohai's BetterAim improves our aim to be more stable. This mod purely exists to hopefully onboard the future change of the current vanilla game's beta change of better aim stabilization, similar to this mod. As soon as vanilla R.E.P.O. is updated and the majority of the mods, this mod shall disappear.

7️⃣ Mod Details - Roundationals (Miscellaneous)

Last but not least, the absolute goofy mods:

• solderjason's BakaMitaiMenu for Shun Akiyama's beautiful rendition of Baka Mitai.

📓 Final Notes

Sooo yeah, full modlist (minus prerequisites to make it work, of course). As the modpack evolves, so will what will be kept in the pack or removed! There will always be one thing: the Taxman years for the money, or years for explosions. Don't wait around to find out, go and make some money for the Taxman!

This modpack is an extreme work-in-progress, with every mod subject to change. My prioritization is that my friends get to enjoy something I put together, so nothing is set in stone. My only hope is that this modpack can be called fun.

Please feel free to customize my modpack as you wish, especially if you want to add cosmetic mods! I understand that they don't really exist in this pack at the moment, but main focus is making the modpack fun to play through first!

I am also new to publicizing my modpacks, so please bare with me with the... bare minimum here lol. If you're curious about how this modpack does play, you can visit my YouTube channel or my Twitch channel, otherwise play at your own risk/comfort!

It must be clarified that I do not have any rights to every mod included in this modpack. Every mod has been developed by the community for one reason or another, and all love goes out to these wonderful authors. Please give them the time of your day to support their work!
