📋 About This Mod

This mod aims to bring some significant improvements to the game in the form of bug fixes, quality of life changes, balancing of some OP mechanics in the game, as well as increasing the difficulty of the game in some aspects, especially when playing on Death March mode. I've been working on this mod for quite a long time, as I had to go through the whole theorycrafting aspect of the game, and I think I've finally brought the game to a state that I feel is well balanced, while keeping the spirit of Vanilla. That being said, don't expect a complete overhaul of the game though, but rather work around the existing mechanics. I would like to express my gratitude to ElementaryLewis who helped me in this with some ideas and decision making, as well as testing things for me.
