Timbn.GraveyardKeeperTwo.VanillaTweaks

Timbn Vanilla Tweaks fixes bugs and adds light gameplay tweaks that are intended to enhance the vanilla experience without cheating. Almost every fix and tweak can be turned off on its own in the config.

Bug Fixes

Green Thumb perk

The perk never worked and now adds +2 farming mastery when planting. The game does not use the player's mastery on harvest, so that part of the description still can't do anything.

Lost tech points

Tech points can bounce through a wall and land where they can't reach you. Now any tech points stuck off walkable ground are pulled to you.

Priest perk rounding down

The game can end up with 3.4999 faith when it should be 3.5, which rounds down instead of up, so Priest adds nothing at some parishioner counts. Faith now rounds on the intended value.

Stuck supply zombies

Supply zombies could freeze holding an item when all storage was full. They now walk back to their station and show the game's storage full icon until there is room.

Getting stuck on the ground

Fixes spots where you can get stuck, such as the stairs from the dock up to the stone pier on the far right of the Port Area. Each fix does nothing once the game fixes that spot.

Zombies filling the well and study table

Partly fixed by the game developers, only for wells built on 1.006 or later and study tables in saves started on 1.005 or later.

When the storage nearby is full, a zombie can put its item somewhere that is meant to hold only one thing. Flax in the garden well stops it giving water, and junk in the study table makes it unusable and every science you make afterwards is lost. This makes older wells and study tables, and any other storage built before the game limited what it takes, follow that limit too. Anything already in the wrong place is dropped beside it when you load.

Soft Locks

Quest building built too early

Partly fixed by the game developers, still needed for saves where it was already built early.

Building the church choir or organ before being asked will lock the quest from completing. The game only noticed the build at the moment it happened, not if it has happened in the past. The quest now finishes when you load a save with the choir or organ already built.

Stations you can't reach to dismantle

A station up against a fence or wall might be blocked from dismantling. This will allow you to still work on it.

Locked out of boards

If you are soft locked and run out of boards without a sawhorse or circular saw, Larry will help you out.

Vanilla Tweaks

Unstuck hotkey

No more getting wedged into a tight spot. A configurable key (default Ctrl+U) moves you to the nearest open ground. Clear Tweaks UnstuckKey to turn the key off, and set Tweaks UnstuckRange (1 to 100, default 30) for how far it may move you.

Bed saving without being tired

Using the bed saves the game even if you are not tired enough to sleep. This is off by default. Turn on Tweaks BedSaveWhenRested in the config to use it.

Higher tech point cap

The game caps red, green, and blue tech points at 999 each and throws away anything past that. This is off by default. Raise Tweaks TechPointCap in the config (up to 999999) to hold more.

Fixed By Game Updates

Requirements

• BepInEx for Graveyard Keeper 2
• Timbn Core

Installation

With Vortex

1. Install BepInEx for Graveyard Keeper 2
2. Install Timbn Core
3. Download with "Mod Manager Download" from the Files tab or the Vortex download button

Without Vortex

1. Install BepInEx for Graveyard Keeper 2, start the game once, and quit at the main menu. This creates the BepInEx/plugins and BepInEx/config folders.
2. Install Timbn Core
3. Download the Timbn.GraveyardKeeperTwo.VanillaTweaks zip file.
4. Extract the zip into BepInEx/plugins. You should end up with Graveyard Keeper 2/BepInEx/plugins/Timbn.GraveyardKeeperTwo.Core/ and Graveyard Keeper 2/BepInEx/plugins/Timbn.GraveyardKeeperTwo.VanillaTweaks/.

Check it works

The bottom right of the main menu lists Timbn Core and Timbn Vanilla Tweaks along with any other Timbn mods.

Troubleshooting

If a game update changes something a Timbn mod relies on, that mod stays off instead of running half broken, and BepInEx/LogOutput.log says which part failed. If Core itself fails, every Timbn mod stays off. The startup line and a popup on the main menu also warn when the game version differs from the one these mods were tested on. Include that line when reporting a problem.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/Timbn.GraveyardKeeperTwo.VanillaTweaks.cfg

After the first launch, every fix and tweak can be turned on or off in the config file. Restart the game after changing it.

Uninstalling

Delete the Timbn.GraveyardKeeperTwo.VanillaTweaks folder from BepInEx/plugins.
