Take full control over critter spawn rates, skip catching animations, and track live local spawns.

Features

• []Spawn Rate Customization: Adjust the spawning frequency of various critter species.[/]

  []Skip Animation: Optional setting to skip the 'present' animation for faster catch.[/]

  []Hiding Place Controls: Full control over tree shaking, harvestable plants, despawn behavior, and spawn conditions.[/]

  []Live GUI: The mod provides a live GUI that displays all critters present in the current area, showing their current counts and maximum limits: Name (Current/Max).[/]

  []In-Game Toggle & Hotkey: Turn the live GUI overlay on or off via the configuration menu or with a customizable keyboard shortcut (default: O).[/]

  []Configurable: Fine-tune the balance in-game using the BepInEx Configuration Manager.[/]

  Requirements

  • []BepInEx 5. 4.x (x64)[/]

    []BepInEx Configuration Manager[/]

    Installation

    • []Ensure BepInEx 5. 4.x is installed in your Moonlight Peaks game folder.[/]

      []Download the mod.[/]

      []Extract the contents into your MoonlightPeaks/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.[/]

      Configuration

      Upon first run, the mod will generate a configuration file. You can easily edit these values in-game by opening the Configuration Manager (default hotkey: F1).

      The configuration entries are sorted alphabetically for better overview.

      Alternatively, you can edit the generated configuration file located in MoonlightPeaks/BepInEx/config/.

      Available Settings Global:

      • []EnableDebugLogging: Enables verbose debug logging for troubleshooting. Keep this disabled during normal play - enabling it produces a lot of log output and can spam the debug console.[/]

        []RespawnIntervalMinutes: Respawn interval in minutes, applies to ALL critters with an active override. (lower = spawns more often)[/]

        []SkipPresentItemAnimation: If enabled, the game will skip the 'present' animation.[/]

        GUI Settings:

        • []ShowPopulationGui: If enabled, displays a live GUI overlay on the screen showing current critter populations and max limits.[/]

          []ToggleGuiHotkey: Hotkey to quickly toggle the Critter GUI overlay on or off (default: O).[/]

          []OnlyShowGUI: Select which GUIs should be displayed (e.g. All, Specific Types).[/]

          Hiding Place Settings:

          • []AlwaysDropFromTrees: If true, trees can always spawn critters when shaken, ignoring daily limits or empty states.[/]

            []PreventCritterDespawn: Prevents hiding place critters from despawning when their spawn conditions are no longer met.[/]

            []IgnoreSpawnConditions: If true, ignores specific item requirements (e.g. tree or plant types). ANY hiding place critter can spawn from ANY tree, harvestable plant, or witch circle.[/]

            []IgnoreDirectorBypass: If true, bypasses time, weather, season, and event restrictions when spawning hiding place critters and they can spawn anytime (e.g. Rogue Petal).[/]

            Available Settings per Critter:

            • []Override: Enable or disable custom spawn rates (true = Custom, false = Default).[/]

              []SpawnChance: Adjust spawn chance (Range: 0 to 100).[/]

              []MaxLimit: Set the maximum limit for a critter (0, 1, 2...).[/]
