This mod is still under active development, so suggestions and ideas are appreciated.
BEFORE ASKING FOR ANY FEATURES OR QUESTIONS, CHECK THE CONFIG. IT MIGHT ALREADY BE IMPLEMENTED
This mod will completely change how traders trade with the player. Instead of buying things with paper money. You now trade your own valuable items for the stuff you need. A bottle of water for a new mag. or perhaps a golden rolex for a shiny new gun. Who knows what the traders want, and what you are willing to give up.
Built with a foundation of customization, the mod has many many knobs to turn so you can tune the experience in a way that fits YOU and YOUR play style.
There is a seed functionality, along with settings on whether to update whenever traders do or not. One set of trades for your entire run? Update your seed once a week, or once a day. The choice is in your hands.
Unlike my other mods, this one's config is simply too big put in here. So instead. if you think this idea is something you'd enjoy. I recommend you to dig into the config file with a text editor that supports jsonc files. The config is filled with comments and details on what everything does. Personally, I HIGHLY recommend using Visual Studio Code, to edit the config. VSCode
The config file is found in the \Leaves-BarterEconomy\config\ folder.
In classic Leaves™️ style; there is also an Leaves-BarterEconomy\output folder that holds usable data like the tiers of items. The default settings are tuned to be quite difficult. So if you want an easier experience; go ham on the config.
