Loquat Scrap Pack v0.3.2 — Lethal Company v81

Renamed package: Earlier playtest builds used FriendGroupScrap. The public package/plugin identity is now LoquatScrapPack by sosigelite. The build installer removes the old BepInEx\plugins\FriendGroupScrap folder when installing to a detected profile.

Author: sosigelite
Game: Lethal Company v81
Version: 0.3.1

Loquat Scrap Pack is a deliberately low-frequency scrap pack built around friend-group in-jokes, odd collectibles, branded junk, and a few interactive props. The spawn weights are intentionally conservative: these items are meant to be memorable finds, not a replacement for the vanilla loot pool.

Items

• Blumpkin (blue pumpkin) — extremely rare outdoor scrap on pumpkin-eligible moons. Uses vanilla hive-style handling sounds without inheriting hive gameplay.
• Shumovka — oversized shovel-class melee utensil. Uses the vanilla Shovel gameplay/hold/swing path with the custom wooden-handled skimmer model.
• Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich — LMB plays its full audio clip. If TooManyEmotes is installed, requests one configured upbeat dance emote.
• Balbal — very rare, huge, heavy, two-handed statue. LMB plays one of several throat-singing clips and gives the statue a faint blue glow while audio is playing.
• Tvorog — LMB plays its full audio clip. If TooManyEmotes is installed, requests one configured dance emote.
• Żubrówka — rare bottle scrap with vanilla bottle-style handling sounds.
• Kweichow Moutai — very rare, higher-value bottle scrap.
• Roshen Київський — rare round Roshen package scrap.
• Bimbka — very rare, heavy, two-handed inert scrap.
• Hasbullah — extremely rare, two-handed inert scrap. He just stares at you.
• Doshirak — rare instant-noodle tray scrap with a cleaned package label facing upward.
• Menorah — very rare interactive scrap. It begins lit; LMB extinguishes it. Once extinguished, it only relights when used near an active flame/fire source (including another lit Loquat Scrap Pack menorah).

Dependencies

Required:

• BepInExPack 5.4.2100
• LethalLib 1.2.0

Optional:

• TooManyEmotes — used only for the Bacon Egg and Cheese / Tvorog dance hooks.

Spawn philosophy

The defaults are intentionally sparse. Vanilla scrap should remain dominant.

All of these values are configurable in BepInEx/config/sosigelite.loquatscrappack.cfg after the first launch.

Building

Install the .NET 8 SDK, extract the source package, and run:

BUILD_MOD.bat

The build script restores the v81 references, compiles the plugin, optionally installs it to an r2modman/Thunderstore profile, and produces:

dist/LoquatScrapPack_v0.3.0_Thunderstore.zip

That ZIP is the package intended for Thunderstore upload.

Multiplayer

Use the same LoquatScrapPack version on everyone in the lobby. Install the required dependencies on every client. TooManyEmotes is optional, but matching mod sets are recommended when using its integration.

Held orientation

Dropped items keep the existing approved resting poses. v0.3.2 adds a held-only 180° yaw correction to custom scrap so front-facing props point toward the player while carried. Shumovka is excluded and retains its shovel-specific hand pose. Tune [Held Poses v1] HeldFacingYawDegrees if desired.

Changelog

0.3.4 — compatibility hardening

• Prevents Loquat item failures from aborting game/network-manager startup.
• Validates donor prefabs, root NetworkObjects, and required gameplay components before cloning.
• Resolves donors by both display and internal asset names with safe fallbacks.
• Builds and validates dynamic prefabs before adding them to LethalLib's network-prefab registry.
• Isolates failures per item so one bad asset does not disable the rest of the pack.
• Makes optional Harmony patches and reflection probes non-fatal.
• Adds silent audio fallbacks when an optional packaged clip cannot be read.
• Uses Loquat marker components instead of item-name comparisons in global gameplay hooks.
• Makes the public description/README intentionally less spoilery.

0.3.2 — LoquatScrapPack rename

• Renamed the public package, DLL, install folder, plugin display name, namespace, and Thunderstore package from FriendGroupScrap to LoquatScrapPack.
• Plugin GUID is now sosigelite.loquatscrappack.
• The profile installer removes the legacy BepInEx\plugins\FriendGroupScrap folder to avoid loading both identities.

0.3.2

• Added a held-only 180° yaw correction for all custom scrap except Shumovka, so faces, labels and the Menorah candles point toward the player while carried.
• Dropped/resting orientation is unchanged.
• Added [Held Poses v1] HeldFacingYawDegrees (default 180) for quick in-game tuning without recompiling.

0.3.1

• Removed the erroneous -90° resting Z tilt from all imported scrap; Doshirak's correct zero-rest orientation is now the baseline for the whole pack.
• Rebuilt Shumovka runtime visuals directly from the canonical re-uploaded GLB.
• Isolated Shumovka from the vanilla Shovel renderer so shovel material changes cannot turn the custom model gray.
• Split Shumovka into a metal part and an explicit wood-grip part using wood sampled from the canonical source texture.
• Preserved the vanilla Shovel Item handling metadata instead of overwriting it with generic scrap handling values.
• Reinforced the native shovel reel-up/swing player animation at ItemActivate and SwingShovel while leaving vanilla melee/hit detection intact.

0.3.0

• Added Hasbullah as extremely rare, two-handed inert scrap.
• Added Doshirak with a rebuilt face-up product label.
• Added the Menorah: starts lit, LMB extinguishes it, and it can only be relit near a fire/flame source.
• Renamed the Roshen item to Roshen Київський.
• Re-imported Shumovka from the canonical re-uploaded GLB so the wooden handle texture is retained.
• Enlarged Shumovka and added a 45° roll around the handle axis so the skimmer bowl faces perpendicular to the player's torso.
• Reinforced the Shumovka shovel swing animation path while keeping vanilla shovel melee behavior.
• Conformed the Moutai front label to the bottle surface instead of using a flat floating label card.
• Preserved deliberately sparse spawn weights.
• Thunderstore-facing authorship is sosigelite; no personal-name field is stored in the package manifest.

0.2.4

• Added Bimbka.
• Continued item orientation and physical-size tuning.
