📋 About This Mod

Non-OP, balanced gameplay overhaul based on my own experience as a hunter with rifles, and built around boosting skills so you have to spend your XP to get the best bonuses. Changes designed to compress the game progression and make it more

If this mod made you smile, please give me an Endorsement ;)

UPDATED FOR PERU DLC!!

GAMEPLAY CHANGES: These are the changes in the current release v1. 5: -

Clean Scope Lenses - self explanatory

Decrease Scope Wobble [-40% crouched -70% prone] - more realistic I feel based on real world experience

Cash Reward - to compress progression, you're supposed to be like the worlds most famous hunter-conservator anyway

Increase Deployables - see above

Increase Diamond Spawns - DO NOT USE THIS WHEN GENERATING NEW POP FILES

Increase Rare Furs - AS ABOVE; I lowered this from 2. 5% to fix overpopulation of rares, 1. 5 is the min

Increase Render Distance - hi or low spec machine specific

Increase Weapon FOV - self explanatory

Modify ATV Max Speed - NOTE: traction and accel are default, you won't get over 60 climbing, but be careful downhill!

Modify Binocular Overlay - I feel this is more realistic to looking through high FOV, hi-quality glass with good eye relief

Modify Lures - pairs well with x5 deployables

Modify Reticule Cost [$1000] - MOVED TO TURKEYPELL V3. 0

Enhanced Endurance - you recover much more quickly from exertion, feels OK locked behind two skill levels imo

Enhanced Hardened - much more reasonable for the skill point investment

Enhanced I'm Only Happy W. I. R. - NOTE: this may still be overtuned, need feedback

Enhanced Innate Triangulation - based on a wide-field sensorial boundary-sentinel hominid phenotype

Enhanced Soft Feet - NOTE: this may still be overtuned, need feedback please!

Enhanced Haggle - much more in line with other RPG-lite progression systems

Enhanced Hill Caller - seems more reasonable for the skill point

Enhanced Impact Resistance - may be overtuned, this one was more subjective feel than realism

Enhanced Keen Eye - feels more reasonable for the skill point

Enhanced Who's Deer? - looking for feedback on this, my main doesn't have the skill

Remove Intro Logos - self explanatory

Enhanced Steady Hands - slightly detuned this from previous version, feedback requested

Increase Movement Speed - a request, looking for input on the feel; wanted to boost sprints and lower walk slightly but can't give penalties via the ModBuilder

Modify Player Gravity [-0. 15] - reintroduced this but not as extreme, just want to improve terrain handling a bit
