The Essentials

  • Update any mods that need it after installing. (You can uninstall the modpack after updating everything)
  • Change in-game configs for Risk of Options supported mods through the options menu -> mod options tab, for non-supported use the config tab in your mod manager.
  • You can disable sounds and VFX in the Mod Options menu in the SOTS AV Effect Options tab (example, plasma shrimp).
  • ExchangeChanges is the only real gameplay changing mod since it makes scrappers/printers faster. Replace it with BalancedFasterInteractables if you want to make it more "balanced" by adding time with the accelerated scrapping/printing (it accelerates after TP by default, change in the config if you want).
  • Read DebugToolkit's modpage to learn about the commands you can use in-game. Replace it with Aerolt if you want a UI instead of typing commands.
  • If you want extra stats displayed on your screen, use LookingGlass and uninstall ItemStats.

Mainly made since I hate scavenging for all of the necessary fixes/QoL with every new profile.
