📋 About This Mod

📦 Upgraded Trash Cans — Smarter Waste Management for Schedule I

Main Il2Cpp Branch & Mono/Alternative Branch releases available!

This mod enhances trash-related gameplay by adding two new trash can upgrades and a pro-level grabber to the Hardware Store — all customizable and fully multiplayer compatible.

🗑️ Hardware Store Upgrades

  • []Trash Bin — 40 capacity, medium radius

    []Trash Compactor — 100 capacity, large radius

    []Trash Grabber Pro — 50 capacity

    Each variant:

    • []Has custom price, name, and color tint

      []Uses original game models with enhanced stats

      []Unlocks via rank or instantly (configurable)

      []Works in multiplayer with full sync

      ⚙️ Customization via Mod Manager (Optional)

      • []Price, capacity, radius (for cans)

        []Color mode (standard, extended, or custom RGB)

        []Unlock rank, tier, or toggle unlock immediately

        []Changes apply on next scene load

      Changes take effect on the next scene load.

      If dropdown isn't working, you may need to update Mod Manager

      🎨 Using Custom RGB Values in Mod Manager

      You can manually enter RGB color values for your trash cans or grabber using the Custom RGB field in the Mod Manager Phone App.

      • Format: `R,G,B`

      • Example: `0. 2f, 0. 8f, 0. 2f` will give you a bright lime green

      • Only the first 3 values are needed — Alpha (transparency) is always set to `1f` automatically

      Tip: You may enter full decimal precision but I usually round to the second place. Each value represents the intensity of Red, Green, or Blue.

      🔄 Multiplayer Sync

      • []Host settings override all clients

        []Variants sync on join with safe retry

        []Mod disables injection if host doesn't have mod

        🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Compatibility Matrix

        ✅ Host Mod / ✅ Client Mod — Full sync (correct variants and stats)

        ✅ Host Mod / ❌ Client — Partial: clients see base visuals, no pickup

        ❌ Host / ✅ Client — No injection

        ⚠️ Known Issues

        • Saving without the mod removes upgraded items

        • In multiplayer, remote players may briefly see base models before sync

        • The mod retries up to 10x with short delay if sync is delayed
