Vanilla+

Welcome to my mod, Vanilla+! My intention is to tweak vanilla gameplay elements that I think could use some adjustment. The developers have done an amazing job with the base game so luckily I didn't feel it necessary to do a larger overhaul. While scouring the available mods on the workshop, I didn't find exactly what I was looking for so decided to get my hands dirty and create something myself. Many mods can easily unbalance gameplay (which is fine if that's what you're looking for), but I wanted to stay as close to the original vision as possible.

• Doubled stack sizes of all items/materials (except for clothing/weapons).
  
• Armor/Clothing has 50% more durability and takes 25% less time to craft.
  
• Added spaceship pants and jacket recipes. Requires synthetic fabric.
  
• Adjusted temperature resistances of some clothing to be more consistent.
  
• Trees contain 50% more wood, but also take 50% more time to cut down.
  
• Gave punching pole and shooting targets damage resistance (60% blunt for pole, 60% piercing/energy for target).
  
• Slightly increased time between attack waves.
  
• Increased spawn distance X4 for all enemy waves and removed idle time.
  
• Reduced "Cavedweller" debuff from -5 happiness to -2.
  
• Doubled input/output/time for brick crafting. Results in less micromanaging.
  
• Doubled amount each point of an attribute decreases skill time.
  
• Halved Ken's "Experienced scavenger" trait benefit.
  
• Halved Vivien's "Avid tailor" trait benefit.
  
  Regarding the survivor nerfs, I noticed that those two characters in particular almost seemed a requirement for a good playthrough. I've done my best to keep them viable while reigning them in a bit.
  
  All suggestions for future edits are welcome! I love this game and hope for its market success so we continue to get great content for it. Enjoy, my friends!
