Kin Catalysts
Craft hats from the trophies of fallen enemies. Wearing a hat attracts that creature and rewards you with more of its trophies.
Features
- Trophy hats for every creature. Any creature with a trophy gets a matching craftable hat, generated automatically.
- Attracts its kin while worn. Wearing a hat affects how that creature spawns nearby:
- Spawn count — multiplies how many of the creature can exist at once.
- Spawn chance — adds a flat bonus to the chance of spawning.
- Spawn timer — reduces the countdown between spawns.
- Better trophy drops. While worn, the matching creature drops more trophies (a quantity multiplier plus a flat bonus chance).
- Live hat editor. An in-game tool to position, rotate, and scale each hat on the head in real time, with per-hat overrides. Every built-in hat ships pre-tuned.
Crafting
Each hat is crafted at the Workbench from:
- 1x the creature's Trophy
- 5x Leather Scraps
The hat editor
Press F6 (configurable) to open the editor while wearing a hat.
- Adjust Position (X/Y/Z), Rotation (X/Y/Z), and Size with sliders and fine nudge buttons.
- Choose This hat for a per-hat override, or Default (all hats) for a shared offset.
- Reset restores a hat to its built-in tuned values.
- Changes apply instantly and save to
BepInEx/config/KinCatalysts_HatOffsets.cfg.
