Description
DST Minus Tweaks
This mod introduces various tweaks with the goal of rebalancing certain parts of the game and providing quality of life improvements. All changes are configurable in the mod settings.

List of Changes
  • Willow's lighter has infinite duration and a larger light radius, but can only be held by Willow.
  • Removed the end delay from Wortox's soul hop, letting him act immediately after reappearing. Also slightly increased the distance limit on soul hop for players with ultrawide monitors.
  • All ancient magic items are refuelable with either the relevant gem (staves) or nightmare fuel (amulets).
  • Replaces the One-Man Band sanity penalty per follower in with a flat sanity penalty and faster durability depletion, refuelable with nightmare fuel.
  • Increase the drop rate of the Krampus sack (I've still never found one of these).
  • Crockpot foods can no longer be bundled, but bundles and bundlewraps are fireproof.
  • The Insulated Pack is now fireproof, waterproof, and provides the wearer with 30 Summer insulation for each slot containing ice.
  • The Weather Pain now destroys trees, rocks, and diggables in one hit.
  • Beekeeper hats now negate hitstun from insect attacks (bees and mosquitoes).
  • Ice Flingomatics will no longer target endothermic fire sources.
  • Rooks attack more frequently, but they will rest in between attacks instead of charging in random directions.

The following tweaks are directly inspired by Rezecib's Rebalance , which is unfortunately no longer being updated:
  • Bat Bats are refuelable with bat wings.
  • Lavae will no longer set things on fire when hungry.
  • Fireflies will respawn in the world over time.

NOTE: DST Minus API is required for this mod to work. View its workshop page for more info.

Good time of the day!
This mod, after the release of Willow ability tree, started crashing the server if someone is playing Willow and tries to take off the lighter after equipping it.
Will this mod be updated in the future? I really love tweaks it gives to Rooks.

Oh, I see.
I'm concerned about the low usefulness of "basic" amulets in this game. Taking into account that gems are not very easy to get, if you do not install additional mods. If the "Life giving" amulet is still bidirectional, then its "frosty" brother is incredibly bad. They are, let's be honest, outdated in the current version of the game.

Only the staves and amulets that are built at the Ancient Pseudoscience Station. Staves are refueled with gems and amulets refueled with nightmare fuel.

May I ask: this "anchient magic can be refuelable" it's touches fire, frozen staffs and amulets? Or am I missunderstand?

The bat bat tweak doesn't seem to be functioning, it's not giving us the option to refuel it with bat wings.

Would it be possible to add a setting so that Lightbulbs last 20 days (for example) instead of forever? Thanks :coolkitty:

These changes make so much sense QoL-wise and I love that. I feel kinda "cheaty" using mods that affect relevant stuff but I personally don't want to keep going to the goddamn ruins just to "refill" like a Lazy Explorer for ex. so thanks for this mod, guys! Really loving the intuitive direction you're going with these mods!

Can you add configs so i could still use bundles and gift wraps for infinite spoilage timers?

Thanks for the feedback! Admittedly, "removed distance limit" was a bit of a misleading description, as I only increased it by about 3x. Still, that does seem like overkill and your point about a potential client exploit is completely valid. The reason for the distance increase is just a quality of life improvement for players with ultrawide monitors, where using Wortox's soul hop can be a bit annoying. I pushed an update to reduce this distance increase and clarified the purpose in the description.

The reasoning behind the Insulated Pack is that it's always been completely outclassed by the Hibearnation Vest. The update that increased its inventory size helped a bit but not enough (in my opinion). The logic is that you're carrying around what is essentially a portable ice pack that uses the ice as fuel to keep you cool during the summer, except that it's also customizeable in the sense that you can choose how many inventory slots you want to give up for increased cooling.

All in all, I really like these changes, allmost all of them seem rooted in logic which is very nice to keep it from not feeling like a simple mod and more like an actual part of the game. I really love the changes to the bundles and one man band. My only concerns are (and I haven't had a chance to playtest the mod myself so don't take these too much to heart) Wortox's unlimited soul hop range sounds unnecessary at best, and at worst very easily exploited by client mods such as "zoom+" and "observer camera", The insulated pack's summer insulation of all the changes sounds the least logical to me, however that isn't saying much.
