Configure Tool Tier

Configure the world objects like trees and rocks to use a different required minimum tool tier for being able to harvest them.

Features

Modify the world objects prefabs for:

• TreeBase (normal spawned tree)
• TreeLog (log after cutting the tree)
• MineRock (mine rocks)
• MineRock5 (mine rocks)

Automated generator for configuration

This mod does also provide the ability to automatically generate a configuration file with all the prefabs of the mentioned categories from in-game. To use this feature call the console command: configure_tool_tier_write_defaults

This will create a file (beware: different name then the file that is read at game startup, you will need to rename it to make use of it!) org.bepinex.plugins.configure.tool.tier.defaults.yaml inside the BepInEx config folder.

Note: the writer will filter any prefabs containing the following in their name:

• complete string of "(Clone)"
• Regex "([0-9]+)"

Those prefabs from vanilla game containing these strings cannot be configured, since they are clones or objects that cannot be found when running config settings.

Configuration

For modifying you need to provide a configuration file named org.bepinex.plugins.configure.tool.tier.yaml at the BepInEx config folder with the following structure (example, not full list, run auto generator for full list):

TreeBase:
  Beech1: 0
TreeLog:
  beech_log: 0
MineRock:
  MineRock_Stone: 0
MineRock5:
  silvervein_frac: 2

The 1st level names are predefined and have to be used like shown in the structure:

• TreeBase
• TreeLog
• MineRock
• MineRock5

At the 2nd level you can add each prefab of those groups that is available in the game and specify the desired minimum tool like:

my_custom_prefab_name: 1
