Big Spender
A mod to make money harder to acquire and more useful in the game.
Planned Features
-
Higher starting debt.
-
Money is attainable in more ways and is used more often.
-
Upgrades feel more expensive.
-
Net enabled from the start (otherwise starting debt prevents you getting Nets). -
Regular fish will be worth much less, although there will be a small bump for trophies.
-
Aberrations will be worth much more than regular fish for balance, and again with a bump for trophies.
-
Purchaseable upgrades to improve aberration and trophy chances.
-
Fuel? Food? Mooring fee for towns?
-
Panic increases aberrations chance by a lot, risk/reward in fishing.
-
‘Wait’ option while at sea, prevents attacks but freezes panic at current level, time will still pass so fish freshness will reduce. -
Buoys slowly reduce panic? -
Some QOL adjustments such as faster docking, more fish per spot, fishing doesn’t increase time as fast.
Crossed out feature ideas out-of-scope for this mod.
