Into The Abyss: Campaign Overhaul for Seaworthy Men

Requesting a variant ITA
A lot of what this mods adds looks fascinating. The massive expansions to transport missions/cargo economics, outposts, dry caves, all of that looks great. I'd love to use all of that for my coop group, which is fairly small, but there are aspects of this mod that make me want to avoid it.

In particular, making Thalamus brains immune to regular physical damage feels unnecessarily punishing. It's tough enough to hack your way into a thalamus with small arms as it is, but now you have to carry a grenade or you're powerless to kill it? It strikes me as an uninteresting way to complicate things.

That's a good description of the fuel-rod changes, too, which sound like a micromanagement nightmare for a small group or solo player, and judging by the other comments on the mod, cause bugs with bots and the like as well.

In short, I don't really want most of the 'higher difficulty' changes the mod description lists, especially as our group is new to Barotrauma to begin with, but I'd love the added content. Is it possible to make a variant of the mod for that purpose?

It's not for new players. "For seaworthy men"
There are some variants on workshop I think. They are OK as long as they don't copy the entire mod to do a 2 line change in the xml. This mod is not supposed to be inclusive for every group&individual, but instead for organised groups (the rod changes were removed at one point, but were put back on request from one of these, same as thalamus changes) and for highly skilled no-lifers like me who put thousands of hours into the game and know every item by it's xml file. Request a variant from another modder, but make sure they only override the things they want to override (not the entire mod, as those get DMCA striked and taken down relatively quickly) and as long as they don't copy any audio or sprites.
