✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly addresses a common desire for difficulty tuning in survival games.
- Custom multiplier lists give you granular control over who deals and takes more damage.
- Lightweight and focused—no bloat, just damage tweaks.
⚠️ Cons
- Small user base (57 endorsements) means less community testing and feedback.
- Last updated in January 2023—may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For players who want to fine-tune combat difficulty beyond the game's default settings, especially those who find vanilla damage too punishing or too easy. Skip if you're looking for content additions or visual overhauls—this is purely a gameplay tweak.
