Won't Starve: A Recipe Overhaul

Won't Starve: A Recipe Overhaul

DESCRIPTION

This mod tweaks and reduces over 80 crafting costs across the game to allow for more item variety in early gameplay and promote off-meta items like Bee Mines or Night Lights. It is aimed at players who have played many hours yet havent experienced a majority of the games content, or newer players who wish for an "easier" difficulty. Game balance was not a factor in these changes: this mod does make the game significantly easier for competent players, and is a sort of "easy mode".

Where possible, recipes have been changed in ways that still make sense within the world, for example, the Booster Shot recipe now uses Blue Caps, which already healed the player and are easier to collect than Rot early game. No more waiting for 8 berries to go mouldy before you can get your HP back.

Among the biggest changes are boat parts being cheaper, the Walking Cane being accessible in autumn, Magic tab items not needing gems, and some changes to Refine items to make parts like Chests less grindy. HP Recovery items are easier to make, less common weapons and armor are much cheaper and rare items are replaced with common ones in many areas.

A full list of changes is available here: https://pastebin.com/FNsT3z63 Every change has a corresponding toggle in the config menu of the mod, so you can disable specific changes made if you choose to.

COMPATIBILITY

This mod changes many vanilla recipes and may clash with other mods that also change those recipes. Disabling those specific recipes in the config should fix any issues though.
