i enjoy bounty hunting, thank you for this mod

How does this compare with 'Expanded Bounties' by Half Filled Pomu Jar? (I admit I'm kinda tempted just to use all of them)

The minor bounties added to dust bandits are only for the UC, I noticed. It's not a big issue, but it doesn't make it viable to collect in places like the Border Zone where the nearest UC town is across the Swamp. I haven't been paying too much attention for other groups like starving bandits, but I think they might have the same issue. Thank you for the great mod!

I played quite a bit with both More Bounties and my mod active and never noticed any issues. There is a little bit of overlap between them, so I'd recommend loading this right after Headhunter's mod to make sure you get the right values.
Anyway, even with both mods it's not overkill at all (imo)

is this compatible with the More Bounties mod by Headhunter? if so, would that be overkill? i have only seen 1 bounty in my 17 hours playing the game and i really want it to be a viable way to make money as it seems like a fun/immersive mechanic. do you know if you're mods pretty much do the same thing? probably a stupid question but no harm in asking right

Oh Banana

That's true, but most of the characters I edited are the members of their respective factions that don't naturally get bounties.

When it comes to them spawning with bounties already, the only faction your mod affects that I don't recall spawning with bounties is Slavers. Every other faction can have members spawn with bounties.

I know, but most of the characters this mod affects don't spawn with those kind of bounties in vanilla. I probably should have made it more clear that a few of the characters could already spawn with bounties, and I only made slight changes to those ones.

No, some enemies do spawn with preset bounties, and it's always an odd number, like 2064 cats, an amount you can't get through ordinary means.

Considering most of these characters had full 0's in their "bounty" tabs in FCS, I think you might be confusing preset bounties and bounties a character has gained through actual crime.

You do know this happens in vanilla, right? Oft times 2k cat bounties.
