Feel free to fork it.</h1> <h1 style="text-align: center;"><a id="description"></a>Description</h1> <hr /> <p><br />This is a mod(pack) that basically just implements my vision for what the game might look like when it gets closer to a full release. Beware that this is somewhat "hardcore", but in what i consider a balanced and fair way. Don't expect the same experience as vanilla. <br />It's only tested in (and designed around) singleplayer.</p> <p>All this mod does is list a bunch of dependencies that the game can download for you, you'll need to manually extract the config files to the ModConfig folder. (Please let me know if i can automate this somehow!)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Issue tracker: <a href="https://codeberg.org/swedneck/vsexpanded/issues" rel="nofollow">https://codeberg.org/swedneck/vsexpanded/issues</a><br />Wiki (open to edits): <a href="https://codeberg.org/swedneck/vsexpanded/wiki" rel="nofollow">https://codeberg.org/swedneck/vsexpanded/wiki</a><br />Thread on <a href="https://discord.gg/CkJjdrB" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the official VS Discord</a>: <a href="https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/1498780342134505472" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://discord.com/channels/302152934249070593/1498780342134505472</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="background-color: #19fef3; color: #000000;" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" data-darkreader-inline-color="">I recommend using <a style="background-color: #19fef3; color: #000000;" href="https://github.com/Zaldaryon/Optimum/wiki/Installation" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" data-darkreader-inline-color="">Optimum,</a> a patch for the game client which can significantly improve performance.
