Additional N+ Configuration Settings
Please refer to the S+ documentation for a reference to the configuration inherited from S+. This post will only document new or changed configuration in N+.

AdditionalEngramGroupBits

The AdditionalEngramGroupBits option allows you to unlock Engrams normally map-locked on any map of your liking. They'll be normally learnable, still in their original categories, and not be remapped. In other words, it'll be just like the map developer unlocked them for you.

The number is made up from the respective bits for each DLC

2 - Island
4 - SE
32 - Aberration
64 - Extinction
128 - Genesis
1 - Genesis 2

To unlock all possible engrams, just sum all numbers for the option, eg:

2 + 4 + 32 + 64 + 128 + 1 = 231 -> (Technically 2 is never needed, since that is available on any map)
AdditionalEngramGroupBits=231

The option is in addition to the natively unlocked engrams on the map. So for example to only add SE Engrams to the map, use AdditionalEngramGroupBits=4

By default, N+ will unlock all engrams on any map.

GrinderResourceReturnPercentMission

The option functions just like the pre-existing GrinderResourceReturnPercent option, except that it applies to Genesis mission loot only. This way you can enable grinding mission loot, but reduce its resource return independently of all other loot, since mission loot is very easy to farm en masse.

Example:
AllowGrindingMissionRewards=True
GrinderResourceReturnPercentMission=10

This will allow the grinder to return 10% of the resources of mission loot.

DefaultLightConfig

Configure the default behavior of N+ Lights. DefaultLightConfig=0 is the default automatic mode, and DefaultLightConfig=1 sets them to manual mode, with no time of day on/off.

Personal Teleporter options

AllowPersonalTeleporterInBossCave=false - Allow placing a personal teleporter beacon in boss caves (Tek Cave, Genesis Boss missions)
PreventPersonalTeleporterInCave=false - Prevent placing teleporter beacons in any cave (default off)
PreventPersonalTeleporterEscapeFromBoss=false - Prevent teleporting out of boss fights

Engram Configuration

N+ introduces two new Engram related options

RemoveTekEngrams=False - Set to True to remove all Tek Engrams. Vanilla, N+ and modded will be removed if they can identified as Tek
SPlusEngramBlacklist= - A list of Engrams to remove. A lag-free option of removing engrams.

Example:
RemoveTekEngrams=True
SPlusEngramBlacklist=EngramEntry_EmptyCryopod_C,EngramEntry_CryoFridge_C,EngramEntry_Fridge_Cryo_C

Disable all Tek, as well as remove Cryopods as well as the vanilla and N+ cryo fridge.
