As of 1.7.3.5. added the loot bonus for over 500 mod monsters from Pandora's Box, Frackin Universe and the mods contained therein.

Will this stack with Monster's Protein?

Just had a look.
Yes, it should stack with Monster's Protein. Though the health scaling of one mod may override the other (depending on priority score, for reference the priority score of Tougher Mobs is 3).
Hey! How about adding compatibility with MY OWN system of minion buffs? It is much more customizable in terms of minion buffs - ESPECIALLY with minion slots. Could you make your main companion script not choke out my entire system?

Hi ChakraTheMossy,

Your mod looks very cool. If you'd like to override the priority of Tougher Mobs with changes to the companion system you can set the priority score in the config to 4 or higher.

Alternatively if you'd like me to rework Tougher Mobs let me know in addition to which file(s) you need exempt. Though I won't be able to patch until at least the end of next month due to commitments to other projects.

It should be,
We only add to the monster/npc
update/on taking damage/destroy events while allowing other mods to change them.

how well would this mod work with this other mod that alters the ruin?

Pretty well, I've posted it in the recommended mods list a while back.
