Adjustable Game Economy

This mod allows you to customize the pricing of various in-game items, including Upgrades, Health Packs, Power Crystals, and more. It supports multiplayer scaling, cost multipliers, and optional price randomization.

Features

Dynamic price scaling based on player count in multiplayer.
Customizable multipliers for different item types.
Option to disable price randomization, setting all costs to an average value.

How It Works

The item price is initially calculated using a random range and a global multiplier.
If randomization is disabled, the price is set to the average of min/max values.
Additional cost increases are applied based on:
- Item type
- Upgrade purchase history
- Completed levels
- Player count (if enabled in multiplayer)

Configuration

Modify settings in BepInEx/config/HopeEradicated.REPO.AdjustableGameEconomy.cfg.

For example, a value of 1.0 represents the default price (normal price). A value of 1.5 represents 150% of the normal price, increasing the cost by 50%. You can adjust PlayerScaleArray size if you have more than 6 players. Simply expand the array by adding new values, e.g., "1,2,2.5,3,4,4.5,5,5.5,6".
