BeenThere

Resources drop more in biomes you have been through. Kill a biome's boss and its wood, stone and metal drop at a higher rate for you. Returning from an earlier world? Name a catch-up biome and get the boost up to it until you kill its boss here. Both rates default to 3x and are configurable.

Progress is per character. Your group killing the Queen does nothing for a player who was not there. Install on the server and on every client; the server sends its settings and records to clients on connect.

Tiers

Tier	Boss	Items
Meadows	Eikthyr	Wood, FineWood
BlackForest	The Elder	RoundLog, Stone, CopperOre, TinOre
Swamp	Bonemass	ElderBark, IronScrap
Mountain	Moder	SilverOre
Plains	Yagluth	BlackMetalScrap (creature drop, off by default)
Mistlands	The Queen	BlackMarble, YggdrasilWood
Ashlands	Fader	Grausten, FlametalOreNew, Blackwood
DeepNorth	The Frozen King (final phase)	Frostwood, GoldOre

The table is config. Tiers can be added, items moved, bosses changed.

How a drop is decided

The player who landed the breaking hit on the tree, log, rock, ore deposit or creature:

1. has killed this tier's boss: tier rate (default 3x);
2. otherwise has a catch-up tier at or above this tier: catch-up rate (default 3x);
3. otherwise vanilla.

Drops nobody hit, such as a tree knocked over by a falling tree, use the world's boss key by default (NoAttackerRule). Creature drops are only scaled when CreatureDrops is on.

Console commands

Press F5 in game:

• beenthere or beenthere status: your record and the rate you get per tier.
• beenthere catchup <tier> or beenthere catchup none: ask the server for a catch-up tier. The server checks its allowlist and cap and answers top-left.

Kill credit

When a boss dies, every connected character is credited with that tier and a message names them. Any kill counts, not only the world's first.

For server admins

Progress lives in BepInEx/config/BeenThere/state.txt on the server, one character per line:

world=MyWorld
player=Alice;kills=BlackForest,Meadows,Swamp;catchup=Mistlands
player=Bob;kills=Meadows;catchup=none

Every character gets a line when it first connects. Edit the file while the server runs; it reloads within a second and pushes to every client. No catchup field means the server's DefaultTier applies.

Config (syxe.BeenThere.cfg):

• [Rates] TierRate, CatchUpRate
• [CatchUp] DefaultTier, AllowedTiers, MaxTier
• [Rules] NoAttackerRule (WorldKey, ZoneOwner, None), CreatureDrops, KillCreditRadius (0 credits everyone connected; the Frozen King counts at its final phase)
• [Tiers] Order plus one bosses|world key|items line per tier

Vanilla's own resource-rate world modifier still applies underneath; run the world at the default rate.

Changelog
