README

Void Crew - Higher Difficulty

Increases the difficulty multipliers in game to make your runs more challenging.

🤔 Why this mod?

When you feel like you default difficulty for every run is Insane mode then Insane is no longer serving its purpose. This mod aim's to fix that for crews that are fully perked in their trees.

It leverages game's existing difficulty setting and remaps it so Expert ( which is the game's actual baseline difficulty!) becomes Normal, old Insane becomes Veteran and adds new multipliers for proper challenging Expert and Insane difficulties.

If you have DRG background, think of this as Hazard 4 on modded Expert and Hazard 5 on Insane.

💡With this Mod

The difficulty settings will be remapped as follows:

Normal Difficulty	Old	New
Enemy HP	-50%	0%
Player Ship Damage	-50%	0%
Spawn Group Amount	0%	0%
Effective difficulty	25%	100%
🔼 Challenge Increase	🎯	400%

Veteran Difficulty	Old	New
Enemy HP	-25%	15%
Player Ship Damage	-25%	12%
Spawn Group Amount	0%	75%
Effective difficulty	56%	225%
🔼 Challenge Increase	🎯	401%

Expert Difficulty	Old	New
Enemy HP	0%	20%

⏬ Manual Install

📃 Prerequisite

This is a BepInEx 5 mod and as such requires that you have BepInEx 5 installed and working properly. If you've not done that yet, please go to their documentation on how to get it installed.

You want the Stable (5.x - 5.4.22 LTS at the time of writing) MONO build when you're presented with choices.

If you already know how to get BepInEx working, head over to their Releases to grab the latest copy.

👌 Recommended

My mods support configuration through BepInEx Configuration Manager and I'd recommend you grabbing that as well to be able to tweak the mod to your own tastes.

✔️ Mod install

So you've got a working BepInEx 5 Mono installation running successfully. Now you can download this mods zip file. Unzip the contents into your game directory where you have your Void Crew.exe.

You should find the mod installed under Bepinex\plugins\MavsPlugins\HigherDifficulty.

👋 Shoutout

While I've had many people help me out by offering me feedback on how the balance was feeling, helping me shape the balance that my mods are in one person in particular has been happy to endure my experiments and many mission fails while I adjusted settings or tried new things.

So here's a shoutout to you my friend: Blaze.

Without your patience and company, I probably would not have poured hundreds of hours I've put in making the mods and even writing all the code that builds these readme files or store packaging!
