BepInEx-BepInExPack_Mycopunk
BepInEx pack for Mycopunk. Preconfigured and ready to use.
Preferred version: 5.4.2403README
Core Protection Rework
A BepInEx mod for Mycopunk that reduces how hard piercing and explosive damage can skip enemy shell armor and dump damage straight into cores.
Features
- Structural armor checks — uses the live enemy component tree (
EnemyShellunder a core), not fragile GameObject name matching. - Piercing falloff —
IgnoreImmunitycan still hit cores, but damage scales down for each living shell still attached. - Explosive falloff — explosive, AOE, and mega-explosive core hits are scaled while shells remain.
- Vanilla bonus replacement — the free full-armor explosive core poke and the vanilla x2 explosive core bonus are replaced with configurable values (defaults: heavily reduced / no bonus).
- Config file — tune penalties, floors, and bonuses without rebuilding. Edits to the cfg on disk hot-reload in-game (debounced).
What this does not do
- It does not re-implement outer→inner shell gating (vanilla
EnemyShellalready blocks hits on shells that still have shell children). - It does not force-kill cores when shells die (vanilla already handles core death when children are gone).

Configuration
After the first launch, edit:
BepInEx/config/sparroh.coreprotection.cfg
| Section | Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | EnablePierceNerf | true | Scale IgnoreImmunity (armor-pierce) damage against cores still protected by shells |
| General | EnableExplosiveNerf | true | Scale explosive / AOE / mega-explosive damage against armored cores, and replace vanilla core explosive bonuses |
| Piercing | ShellPenalty | 0.55 | Falloff strength per alive shell (higher = harsher) |
| Piercing | MinMultiplier | 0.25 | Lowest pierce multiplier against armored cores (0–1) |
| Explosives | ShellPenalty | 0.75 | Falloff strength per alive shell (higher = harsher) |
| Explosives | MinMultiplier | 0.15 | Lowest explosive multiplier against armored cores (0–1) |
| Explosives | FullArmorMultiplier | 0.10 | Extra multiplier when no shells have been broken yet (vanilla free core hits). 0 blocks effective damage |
| Explosives | OpenCoreBonus | 1.0 | Replaces vanilla x2 explosive bonus once the core is fully exposed (0 shells left). 1 = no bonus, 2 = vanilla |
| Explosives | ArmoredBonus | 1.0 | Replaces vanilla x2 explosive bonus while some shells remain but the core is already vulnerable. Applied after shell falloff |
Falloff formula:
multiplier = max(MinMultiplier, 1 / (1 + ShellPenalty * aliveShells))
Multiplayer
