Baroverhaul - Classic

This mod is intended to increase the longevity of Barotrauma, adding more depth, items, creatures and mechanics. It will be continue to see support with fixes and maybe small changes but the new version of the mod will be receiving all the new major content.



The base game has two rows of general talents and three trees with four rows. In total there are 27-29 talents for each job. This overhaul aims to fix a few problems: increase the amount of choices by ensuring every class has at least 48 talents to choose from, as well as more meaningful choices, buffing a lot of underperforming and underpicked talents and nerfing a few stronger talents. It is also oriented towards larger crews or longer campaigns, with longer more specialized skill trees and fewer unbalanced experience talents.

Every job has:

• New recipes and items
  
• No more talents that only offer recipes with no other effects
  
• Stronger talent tree identity, with each one fulfilling a more defined niche
  
• No more general talents trees (they have been mixed into trees, combined, and moved around)
  
• Quest talents (like starter quest for assistant in the base game but now for every talent tree)
  
• An entirely new talent tree for each job, totaling four trees (five for assistant)

There are simply too many changes and new talents to list here so I may make a discussion page with more information.


With the idea of increasing longevity of gameplay in mind, I added some endgame resource/money sinks because I feel that late in campaigns (especially long campaigns), money and resources stop being much of an issue, so I added "Boosters," shots similar to Endocrine boosters but more expensive and with specific stat boosts. There are boosters for health, movement speed, skills and melee damage. They spawn late campaign from medicine vendors, along with recipes that can be purchased for a very high price to craft your own. Their effects stack up to five times, and after using five of a booster, you gain an additional powerful talent.



if you have the issue where the lantern is stuck, this mod will let you yeet the stupid lantern.
