DREDGE Randomizer (W.I.P)

Randomizer mod for the game DREDGE.

Massive credit to InsomniacEeper for the bulk of the work in the initial implementation, initially available here.

Please see the disclaimer.

Usage

By default, the mod will create save data for each save slot, which is inside save.json in the mod folder /mods/mmbluey.randomizer/. The seed used for randomization is randomized when you create a new save file, but if you wish to change the seed without resetting progress, the seed attribute can be altered in save.json for the desired slot (index beginning 0). If you wish to use the same seed across all runs and resets, you can set UseConfigSeed to true in the config. Specifics of randomization can be set in the config, such as whether fishing size, harvest type, difficulty, and more will be randomized.

Config

• Seed
  • Seed used for RNG: can be used to create repeatable experiences
• UseConfigSeed (Default false)
  • Override per-save seed with seed set in config.
• RandomizeSizes
  • Randomize Fish sizes.
• RandomizeHarvestMinigamesTypes
  • Randomize minigame associated to fish.
• RandomizeHarvestableType
  • Randomize HarvestableType (Volcanic, Mangrove, Oceanic) etc for each fish.
• RandomizeDifficulty
  • Randomize difficulty for all fish.

Features

Implemented

• Fish randomization

Disclaimer

While this mod should not cause any problems with save data, there may still be problems so for your sake, before using this mod, backup your save files or play from new ones.

How to backup

1. Locate your save files at C:\Users\<Your username>\AppData\LocalLow\Black Salt Games\DREDGE\saves
2. Create a folder somewhere else, and copy the save files we found previously to this new folder.
3. In the case of any problems, disable any mods and replace the files in the prior saves folder with those you copied in step 2.
