📋 About This Mod
NO DLC CHANGES.
I lost the motivation to work on the DLC changes, and it's unlikely that I'll ever get it done
For 1. 16 version of the game. Should be compatible for future versions as well, if you are importing the CSVs, unless From makes changes to the same fields under the Params.(ItemLotParam_enemy & ItemLotParam_map)
Inspired by Better Gathering and Hunting.
However the changes here are small.
Hunting goats for instance, will give you anywhere from 2-6 thin beast bones, 2 budding horns, etc. all the time.
Some gathering materials like Rowa fruit and Altus bloom will give 2-6 of them, but silver/gold fireflies will only be 1(unchanged from vanilla).
Arteria leaves give you 4, and the burning butterflies give 4-8.
Now Arteria leaves and Trina's lillies can be reliably farmed from Jellyfishes as well (>30% droprate)
From the miners; All the smithing stones have 25% chance for 1 stone independent of your item discovery, and an additional 10% for 3 stones dependent on your item discovery.
The only enemy drop rates affected are for Rune bears, Land octopuses, Miranda flowers, Giant dogs, Giant crows, Smithing stone miners, and Fungal sorcerers.
Somewhat lost track of additional changes. Sorry
Both a regulation file and CSVs for ItemLotParam_enemy and ItemLotParam_map are included.
Let me know if I missed anything that should have reasonably high drop rate or amount.
