Beechers Hope Expansion

Beechers Hope Expansion

Were you ever wondering why beechers hope was so stripped down compared to other gang camps in terms of mechanics and interactions? Well maybe not... however this mod extends John's ranch to feature (almost) all mechanics from camps seen throughout story mode, so lets jump in!

Camp UI

when visiting Beechers Hope, in the left corner the player can now see his cash, John's family cash and the 3 statistics present in the regular camps (food, ammo and medications). The 3 icons show how much of the corresponding items are in stock under their blips.

Money and Donations

As stated above, Beechers Hope, now has its own money, which is the equivalent of gang savings, that allow you to purchase resupplies for the other stats and various upgrades for John's home.

To increase the available family money, John can donate items or his own cash, via the cash box (exactly like in camp!). Alternatively, for completing all the chores and selling the goods, aside from the $8 you get, your family budget will receive an additional $32. This amount can be higher, when the water tower or farm extension upgrade is purchased. Jack, Abigail and Uncle sporadically donate money, while John is gone.

Ledger

As porting the original ledger proved to be slightly challenging, I decided to settle on a poormans version of it, placed in Johns journal. You can use it to resupply the ranch.

Family Food

Aside from being responsible for the item on the food shelf in the kitchen, it is also the supply of food from donations, that can be done through the butcher table in the shed. Both of these values can alter the effects of the dinner that Abigail makes (similarly to Pearsons stew!), so make sure to keep them high. Abigails dinner will restore more and potentionally even fortify some cores if the supplies are high enough.

You can donate animals to the butcher table, so that Uncle will prepare them for Abigail. You can only bring full carcasses, however every animal has a different value of how much it increases the food statistic.    As of update 0. 6 there is an actual Pearson style butcher menu! It works very similarly to the one in found throughout story camps, however you can only donate supplies, as opposed to also selling skins and carcasses.

Family Medications and Ammo 

These are almost replicas of the ones found in camp. They give John and his family access to various goods at home, at an increased price, compared to the one at store. The shelves containing these are marked on the map and the blip will change de
