GrOverhaul

Makes all groves bigger, randomized, deadlier, and with more treasure.

• KJ Resources - on top, always
  
• GrOverhaul
  
• other mods such as my Total Race Overhaul or any of Prominence's mods.
  
• Total Weapon Package -- put this last
  
• If you use Mafe 's mods, put his resource library at the bottom of your list.

• Groves now each contain ~6 battles
  
• Battles are randomized
  
• Every Grove spawns a plant/fossil but also a chance for a good prize (action tablet, blueprint for exotic weapons)
  
• Groves are recolored
  
• Terrain is slightly randomized
  
• Elemental monsters (from my Resource Library)
  
• Replayability!
  
• More challenge, better rewards!

Groves are now 3x3 "mini-dungeons", each containing:

• the "normal" encounter you find in the vanilla game
  
• a plant or a fossil (for "technical math reasons" - the first 12 groves will provide plants and the rest will provide fossils)
  
• a "prize" room from a pool of 10 possible rooms (40% random loot, 30% action tablet, 30% blueprint for exotic weapons)
  
• 6 random battles

Starting a new game with this mod (or resetting your procgen) will cause the game to freeze for up to 2 or more minutes! This is because it is recreating all 29 groves and giving them 9 rooms each! This is totally normal.
As with any big mod -- BACK UP YOUR SAVE.

This mod was made to replace and add more content over Bigger Groves.
As with Bigger groves, you may wish to use Disable Autosave In Groves.

- to perform on a current save:
open debugger with shift+~ and type (no quotes) 'resetprocgen' to recreate all new groves.

• Every encounter has a chance to spawn 1 of 2 possible battles...
  
• ... and every battle pulls its actors from one of many pre-defined pools.
  
• Battles contain playable races, humanoids (Vineman, Jarfs, Maskheads, Myconids, Automatons, Mantis), and some of my own enemies (elemental versions of existing enemies).
  
• Some battles will have friendly characters assist you or have enemy teams that are hostile to each other.
  
• Groves get "harder" as you progress, and as you discover more groves, earlier encounters will be pulled out of rotation and new encounters added.
  
• Around grove #12, enemies will STOP being lootable. This is a design choice on my part to avoid flooding the economy with gear. However: all items (and gear) that were NOT EQUIPPED will drop after the battle if you leave and come back.

This mod makes the game much HARDER in the beginning (and hopefully throughout)!
You won't be able to complete even the first grove without a full party and some gear and enemies will often outnumber you.
Go make some money trading, find some alternative xp sources (ray battles, xp gems), get some gear (just buy steel or hunt for mythril). Once you're ready, dive in.

It's ok to skip battles ... if you can get by without getting caught.

You may wish to TURN DOWN your xp gain. Having 5-6 extra battles per grove is going to have you swimming in xp, especially if you play with other location mods, like Prom's excellent work. I can't control how much XP is awarded and some battles will give a lot just based on the number, type, and level of the enemies that spawn.

• GroveAddon_FrostKissed which adds my "Frostkissed" as a possible spawn in the Groves from my mod: Elemental Disciples - Ice.
  
• GroveAddon_Herbalist which adds my "Herbalist" as a possible spawn in the Groves from my mod: Elemental Disciples - Life

• KJ Resource Library
  
• Elemental Disciples - Ice
  
• Elemental Disciples - Life
  
• Total Race Overhaul
  
• Total Weapon Package

As always, none of this would have been possible alone.
Special thanks to ParadiseBell for doing a lot of testing and feedback!
