A starter pack containing most of the mods used in hosts. This is meant to be a baseline that you can expand/modify as needed to get your ideal hosting setup.

Mods you might want to disable depending on setup
Recommended Ruleset
You'll need to do lots of experimentation and configuration to find a setup that works best for you, but here's some general things that people do.
-
Disable Lobby Votes.
-
Artifacts:
- Artifact of the King
- Origination
- Primacy
- Conformity (personal preference)
- Can be configured to only remove Scrappers if you still want Printers.
- Sacrifice (when playercount is high)
- This is used because interactable spam lags the game at high player counts, and it often ends up with stacked players buying out the map too fast for others to catch up.
- Recommended to enable Bazaar Artifact or enable Command (limited to 3 choices with BetterCommand) or else players will be at the mercy of RNG.
- Could argue for limiting choices to 2.
-
Item Banlist:
- Roll of Pennies
- Charon's Obol (unused revivemod item)
- Ghor's Tome (when using Bazaar setup)
- Regenerating Scrap
- Spare Drone Parts (personal preference)
- Lost Seer's Lens
- Brittle Crown
- Mercurial Rachis
- Defiant Gouge
- Eulogy Zero
- Focused Convergence
- Dead Man's Hand (unused revivemod item)
-
Equipment Banlist:
- Executive Card (personal preference)
- Trophy Hunter's Tricorn (personal preference)
- Glowing Meteorite
- Helfire Tincture

- ScrollableLobbyUI

-
Major Overhauls:
- RiskyMod
- Most hosts just use RiskyMod on default settings.
- If you plan to install other Vanilla balance mods, make sure you disable conflicting features in the RiskyMod config so that the game doesn't break.
- Reworks Acrid to be closer to RoR1 where he's based around stacking multiple sources of DoT. If you want Vanilla Acrid, go to RiskyMod_Survivors.cfg and disable his changes.
- EliteReworks
- TeammateRevival
- Config has been modified to make it a bit harder to revive compared to the default settings.

Other Recommended Mods
- FW Artifacts
- Requires a LOT of configuration. Recommended for when you want a crazy setup.
- EnemiesWithItems
- Usually used with Bazaar (no purchase limit) and FW artifacts for crazy setups.
- Requires LOTS of configuration to make it play well. You'll need to look through your item list and manually choose which items to keep/blacklist.
- As a general rule of thumb, anything that scales off of base damage should be blacklisted (ex. Bleed, Shurikens)
- StageAesthetic
- Might have some performance impact?
- GestureEnigma
- Depends on whether the people you're playing with want Gesture or not.
- Evolution Config
- Evolution rulesets will probably need further AI Blacklist config edits.
- CoolerMithrix
- RiskOfRuina
- Disable character music in config.
- Some hosts rebalance Red Mist's ego meter, but I don't know the specifics.
- BadassEmotes
- Increases modpack size by a few hundred mb, if that's a concern.
- Also check out the other EmoteAPI emote mods on ThunderStore!
- Alien Hominid
- Forgotten Relics
- DISABLE STAGE HAZARDS
- Disable Coil Golems since they're janky and people don't like them.
- Can consider disabling Dry Basin since the stage is kind of lackluster.
- Starstorm2Unofficial (Manual Install)
Changelog
-
1.2.2
-
1.2.1
- Added Potmobile (Disabled by default)
- Added SafeTravelsInSkybox
- Added GiantParticleFix
- DroneMeld
- Disabled "Apply to Goobo" since it's already capped at 3.
Left R2API/BepInEx unupdated, but feel free to update them if you want.
-
1.2.0
- Added DroneMeld
- Changed Settings:
- Quantum Turrets disabled (personal perference)
- Does not affect Squids/Beetle Guards/Zoea/Defense Nucleus/Backup Drones since these rely on strength in numbers to draw aggro.
- No CDR/AtkSpd per stack, damage per stack increased from 0.6 -> 1.0
- This makes it so that drone stacks are equivalent to just having an extra drone, instead of stacking parabolically.
Originally left this out because I suspected it was causing issues with Mithrix Phase 4, but recent hosts have been using it fine and it got updated to fix a nullref.
- DebugToolkit
- Regenerated config. Permission system should be set up properly by default now? Not sure.
-
1.1.0
- Added Regigigas (Disabled by default)
- Pre-configured to enable the survivor version.
- Added BlightedElites
- Added StormyItems
- Disabled Abyssal Talon and Charged Urchin.
- Added AccurateEnemies
- QueensGlandBuff
- Regenerated config to remove unused fields.
- Reduced damage bonus from 300% (+200%) -> 200% (+100%) since they were killing bosses too fast when stacked with RiskyMod ally changes.
-
1.0.1
- Expanded Other Recommended Mods section.
- .r2z is unchanged, so no need to download this update.
-
1.0.0
