ItemRecommender
Client-side item recommendations in the Command menu: gold frame + star per survivor, proc-chain synergy hints, build path tile in the HUD. Other players don't need it.ItemRecommender
Client-side item recommendations for the Artifact of Command menu – like a LoL build overlay. Other players do not need this mod.
| Marker | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gold frame + star | Core item for your survivor |
| Pulsing star | Best pick in this menu |
| Light frame | Good pick |
| Turquoise dot | Synergy with an item you already have (proc chain) |
| Orange frame + X | Rather not |
| Red frame + X | Don't build – e.g. a void item that would convert your good items |
A legend is shown next to the Command menu. Covers all DLC, void and lunar items; void conversions are detected automatically (also for modded void items).
Hover an item to see why it is recommended (German/English, follows the game language).
Edit the builds
After the first launch, edit BepInEx/config/ItemRecommender.builds.txt.
The file is re-read while the game is running. Format is explained at the top of the file.
Build path
A tile under the objectives shows your survivor's build path with item icons and how many you already have (e.g. 3/10). The current step has a gold frame, finished steps are dimmed.
Every survivor has three pages (early, mid, late run). When every item on a page is done, the next page appears ("Build path 2/3"). Each Path: line in the build file is one page; long lines are split every 8 items:
Path: Syringe x5 > Bear x3 > Hoof x2
Path: Syringe x10 > CritGlasses x10 > Missile x2
Counts are totals, so a later page can raise an earlier target.
Page 1 is a fixed start from the file. After that the pages are live: the best items for your survivor right now, re-ranked with your current synergies. When you reach an item's target, the next best item moves in. Items from the survivor's later Path: lines are preferred (toggle: LivePages).
Other details
- When the Command menu opens, the cursor sits on an item and the game shows its description right away. The mod hides it until you move the mouse.
- Holding the void version of an item (e.g. Safer Spaces) makes the normal item a good pick, since it becomes another void stack.
- Ratings follow the community consensus tier lists (S = core, A = good, rest neutral; only items that actively hurt you get an X), with survivor-specific overrides.
