No Forest Falling Trees

A lightweight BepInEx mod for SULFUR that removes the sudden falling-tree jumpscare from Forest Ambush events without reducing encounter difficulty.

What This Mod Does

This mod disables the visual and audio parts of the Forest Ambush falling-tree scare.

It targets Forest Ambush events such as:

Event_Forest_Ambush1
Event_Forest_Ambush2
Event_Forest_Ambush3

Inside those events, the mod neutralizes the falling-tree presentation by disabling:

Contents/Animator
Contents/AudioSource
Contents/Tree*
Contents/Particles

What This Mod Does NOT Do

This mod does not remove Forest Ambush encounters entirely.

It does not disable:

Trigger
TriggerSpawner
NavMeshAnchor

It also does not remove:

Abomination
Ghost scare events
Normal enemy spawns
Ambush spawn logic

The purpose is to remove the sudden falling-tree scare while keeping the actual gameplay challenge intact.

Why

Some Forest Ambush events use sudden falling trees as a jumpscare.
This mod removes that specific scare presentation while preserving enemy encounters and normal difficulty.

Installation

Thunderstore / r2modman

Install the mod through Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman.

Make sure the required BepInEx dependency is installed.

Manual Installation

1. Install BepInEx for SULFUR.

Configuration

After launching the game once with the mod installed, a config file will be generated.

Default config options:

[General]

LogActions = false

[Performance]

SceneSignatureCheckInterval = 1
CleanupBurstIterations = 24
CleanupBurstInterval = 0.2

LogActions

Set this to true only when testing.

When enabled, the mod logs which Forest Ambush objects were neutralized.

For normal gameplay, keep this set to false.

SceneSignatureCheckInterval

This is a lightweight check.

Delay between cleanup passes during a cleanup burst.

Compatibility

It does not patch enemy stats, enemy AI, enemy spawning, player stats, weapons, loot, or difficulty values.

Known Notes

This mod specifically targets Forest Ambush event visuals.

If SULFUR updates the internal structure or names of Forest Ambush events, the mod may need to be updated.
