PlayerScaling

This mod changes the scaling of difficulty and various factors to create better gameplay for larger groups. Scaling begins after 4 players and in general you can expect a multiple every additional 4, so 1x scaling at 4 players, 2x at 8 players, 3x at 12, etc.

Map Size

The map size scales linearly with players and will break past the normal limits. You will also see more than 4 extracts on these larger maps.

Enemy Count and Valuables

Enemies and Valuables are multiplied in accordance with the map size changes, so you can expect to see a similar density of enemies and valuables as with a normal map, but there will be more overall.

General Difficulty Scaling

The Game's general difficulty scaling will be accelerated for larger groups, but more subtly than other factors. Specifically the difficulty is multiplied by the square root of the player scaling factor.

Other recommended mods

I highly recommend all of these mods for large groups for a better experience!
UpgradeEveryRound is another mod by me that allows each player to get one free upgrade every time you visit the shop.
MorePlayers is a mod by Zelofi that allows you to break past the normal cap of 6 players.
MoreShopItems is a mod by GalaxyMods that increases the number of available items in the shop.

[1.2.0] - 2025-5-5

Added

• Options for downscaling for fewer players
• Options for helping to continue to increase the difficulty past the default limit of 11 days.

Tweaked

• Refocused towards map scaling, with other scaling being based off it.
• Config options removed and added to meet this goal.
• Honed in on trying to make this a vanilla plus experience by default with customization for the player to make the experience however they like it.

Fixed

• Game crash/freeze when loading levels past a certain point. This was due to a bit of a silly error on my part and should no longer be an issue outside of players tweaking the config to make the map huge.
• Some potential oddities in level generation that resulted from the mistake, including having fewer extractions than expected.
