Hope it helps anyone!

Seconding Zulufox, are you planning on updating this? It's so good and there's no other mod for it ; - ;

Hey, any chance this mod will be updated for 1.5? I miss it a lot, its the only thing that makes quests bearable :p

I am confused, can I change the difficulty levels, like a setting? Or it just generated with the individual quest, so to speak.

You're correct. I should rather have said game progression, but basically, the game progresion is absurd, and in vanilla you end up having construction way too big way too soon.
If you can point to a mod on quest progression specifically, i would add it in the description.

This may have happened at the unexpected 1.4 update, but this mod doesn't quite do what it says on the tin anymore.

It pre-empts the base game method StorytellerUtility.GetProgressScore which is used to scale many incidents (including quests). The standard method counts your colonists and multiplies that count by storyteller wealth (same stat that generates raid points, see the wiki for more info) and then divides by 10,000.

This method does exactly what the current base game method does but then it takes the square root of that value before returning it. It also starts a stopwatch (an object used to time code operations) that it never actually reads from and sets a cache (again, that it never actually reads from).

While it won't harm your game, since it pre-empts the GetProgressScore method, it won't be compatible with any other mod targeting that method and it's got non-functional performance and debugging features left in.

This mod tells me how many waves from what faction, but it is blank for what is actually attacking so I can't really use those quests.

seems it was! thanks mod author!

No, I don't think it ever will be.

Any chance this will be updated for 1.4?

Yes, it's safe to add/remove mid game, it will only affects the threats of the upcoming quests.

It tunes down the quest threats from the base game progressively so end game threats aren't ridiculously large.

Safe to add and change around mid game? I'm assuming it'll just change all upcoming quests if I do so.

I want to see if I can handle the base game first, and if I inevitably can't, switch things up lol

I'm using both and they work just fine together.

Both are independent, one changes the threats and the other one the rewards, it should be compatible.

how well does this play with Quest Reward Rebalance?

Ah I'll have to give that a lookover then, thanks again.

Thanks. I think you can increase the quest rewards in the custom storyteller option, but you couldn't lower the threats.

Also, well done :)

I'd love to see another version of this where instead of lower difficulty there is higher reward. So like, yeah there are 57 hives but theres a literal mountain of gold afterward. Could be interesting.

Correct, mid-end game quests can be a hard pass. This mod have them scale more reasonably: 'default' difficulty is easier than 'high' which is easier than vanilla's difficulty 'ludeonicrous'.

I play with QoL mods and defeating 67 hives is not an option or at least too high a cost for the rewards.

Asking as someone who hasn't had much experience with quests at end-game:

This makes it so the danger level of quests is adjustable, with the new difficulty settings aiming to make it significantly less difficult than vanilla by end-game? Am I understanding correctly?
