BetterSewerKeys

BetterSewerKeys transforms the sewer key system from a single-use master key into a strategic per-entrance unlocking system. Instead of one key unlocking all sewer entrances, each entrance now requires its own key.

What Changed?

Vanilla Behavior

• Using a single sewer key unlocks all sewer entrances globally
• One key = access to the entire sewer network

With BetterSewerKeys

• Each sewer entrance requires its own key
• Keys unlock only one entrance at a time
• You must strategically choose which entrances to unlock
• Multiple methods to obtain keys: buying, pickpocketing, or finding them in the world

Features

Per-Entrance Unlocking

• Each sewer entrance has its own unique key
• Keys are consumed when used and unlock only the specific entrance you interact with
• Once an entrance is unlocked, it remains open permanently (no key needed for future access)

Multiple Key Acquisition Methods

1. Buying from Jen

• Purchase keys from Jen (NPC) if you have sufficient relationship status
• Each purchase gives you a key for the next locked entrance
• Keys can be bought sequentially until all entrances are unlocked

2. Pickpocketing

• Random NPCs are assigned as key possessors for different entrances
• Use your pickpocketing skills to steal keys from these NPCs

3. World Pickups

• Random sewer keys spawn at various locations throughout the world
• Keys relocate to new positions each day
• The pickup system continues until all entrances are unlocked

Save System Integration

• Full integration with the game's save system via S1API
• Unlock states persist across saves
• Automatic migration from vanilla saves (if you had previously unlocked sewers, all entrances will be unlocked in the migrated save)
• Key distribution and pickup locations are tracked per save

Installation

1. Ensure you have MelonLoader installed for Schedule I
2. Place the BetterSewerKeys_Il2cpp.dll or BetterSewerKeys_Mono.dll file in your Mods/ folder
3. Launch the game - the mod will automatically initialize

Requirements

• Schedule I (ScheduleOne)
• MelonLoader
• S1API (for save system integration)

Notes

• The mod uses the same sewer key item as vanilla - the difference is how they're consumed (one entrance vs. all)
• Once an entrance is unlocked, you can access it freely without needing another key
• All entrances must be unlocked individually - there's no "master key" anymore
• The random world key pickup will continue spawning until all entrances are unlocked
