Turns the game's three fixed difficulty presets into granular dials while introducing comprehensive host-authoritative gameplay modifiers: friendly fire, one-shot kills, hunger rates, regeneration, status effects (poison/fire), PvP scaling, revive health values, and full fishing ecology controls (catch weights, species spawn weight multipliers, pity rolls, and bite timers).
Strictly host-side: all modifications are calculated server-side (damage processing, vitals ticks, catch rolls). Connecting lobby clients require zero mods. All configuration changes apply immediately without requiring a lobby restart.
Key Features:
Custom Difficulty & Host Rules:
- Toggle friendly fire and scale PvP damage independently.
- One-shot kill mechanics.
- Configurable hunger consumption and health regeneration ticks.
- Environmental damage modifiers for poison and fire.
- Adjustable player health values upon being revived.
Fishing Ecology Suite:
- Catch weight tuning and individual species rarity multipliers.
- Configurable pity roll mechanics for rare catches.
- Minimum and maximum bite time duration controls.
- 100% Server-Authoritative: Only the host installs the mod; client instances function seamlessly without extra network footprint.
- Instant Hot-Reload: Settings adjust live during gameplay sessions with zero lobby restarts required.
Migration & Compatibility Notes:
- The fishing ecology module from HtF.Economy has been integrated into this mod.
- If HtF.Economy or HtF.FishingEcology is present in your plugins directory, delete it immediately. Running both simultaneously causes compounding weight multipliers and corrupts bite time values (BaitInfo._catchTimeMinMax).
- The mod detects legacy conflicts, automatically disables its fishing subsystem, and logs a warning while keeping difficulty and player rules active.
- Economic tweaks from HtF.Economy (sell/cost multipliers and starting cash) have been retired.
- Settings generate into a new config file (htf.hostrules.cfg) matching the original parameter names.
Configuration:
- Config file path: BepInEx/config/htf.hostrules.cfg (generated on first boot).
- Fully adjustable in-game via HtF Config Menu (F9).
Installation:
- Install BepInEx 5.4.23.5 into your game root.
- Place HtF.HostRules.dll into: How to Fish/BepInEx/plugins/
- Launch the game as host.
