and what if said folder just isnt there (the mod folder i mean)

create one and name it that oops, i forgot that’s how it works

didnt seem to work sadly

are you on windows or something else

windows sadly so no clue how it would work


does your folder look like this?

yes (there are 2 folders due to unzipping)

oh you have to go into the options menu and check modding: enable mods too

wich i did but still isnt showing up in the mod list in game

can you send a screenshot of your mods folder with the file path

How does the dynamic weight gain work/How do you know if it does?

Food items increase the calorie value, when it reaches a certain threshold it increases the weight stage

Ahhh gotcha, so do you specifically need to eat food items? E.G not the ā€˜whip up a meal’ or ā€˜combined meal’ at campfires?

Also, is there a way to check weight stage? I’ve found past the first I can’t figure it out

Sorry for so many questions! It’s a great mod, I love the flavor text I’ve found, getting crushed to death was fantastic. Just, Really cute addition to Qud!

Do you have any plans for fat based mutations?

here is the issue with mine there flat out isnt a mod folder even after making one myself it didnt work

can you send a screenshot of the file path you’re looking for your mods folder in

I tried to have a way to check weight stages, i rly wanted it to appear in the status screen with your other stats or the player description when you [L]ook at yourself but I just can’t modify that stuff without really diving into the harmony patching system which, that programming is well above my pay grade and I don’t know if I can do it. I suppose something that could work is like a weight scale artifact that can be found in places? I could probably make items that reflect your weight stage, it’s just stuff with the base ui that becomes a problem.

and yeah it’s food items not the whip up a meal, I felt like since it’s totally free it shouldn’t count.

I do have some fat based mutations in there but you just can’t pick them right now! I plan to have em do stuff, but haven’t gotten around to it. originally the whole weight system was mutation based before i figured out how to do the current system that works a bit better

also thank you!!! it’s good to hear that it’s liked, i want to get back to working on it once i get less busy. also good to hear that it’s worked for someone!

and also dont worry about too many questions, it’s worthwhile!! having to answer something like ā€œhow do i check weight stageā€ makes me have to re-assess how I want that to work, and now I’m realizing i’m not sure after the stat screen stuff didnt work, i’ll have to think of something

I don’t know how crazy this might be, but as a concept, Qud has extra limbs. Could you create extra ā€˜fat limbs’, maybe they come with AV depending on how fat you are?
That way you can just check in like your equipment tab, or the ā€˜look’ tab that tells you your features and see like ā€˜apron gut’ or ā€˜bingo wings’.

When you hit certain weights, you gain the limbs and they’re filled with flab spots kind of thing.
