Readme
After installing convenience mods such as TeamUpgrades and SharedHealth, the game becomes too easy in the later stages and loses playability. The goal of this plugin is to force players to spend more money on repeatedly purchasable items, preserving resource pressure and strategic depth in the mid-to-late game.
Features
- Separately adjusts prices for Upgrade Items, Health Packs, and Energy Crystals (weapons and handcarts are not affected)
- Each category independently supports:
- Base multiplier for direct price scaling
- Random multiplier for per-shop-visit price fluctuation
- Player-count influence for dynamic pricing in lobbies
- Custom growth values that override the vanilla "purchase count / level → price" scaling
- Default configuration removes the vanilla discount scheme (more players = cheaper) and reverses it (more players = more expensive)
- Works in both single-player and multiplayer
