Is SPT getting too easy? Too much nice gear collecting dust in your stash? Fix that problem with a hardcore playthrough similar to DeadlySlob's hardcore rules for live Tarkov (https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sr500b). I was inspired by Fin's Hardcore Options (Fin's Hardcore Options) and made a new version that simply implements the hardcore rulesets by DeadlySlob and other streamers.
This mod is highly customizable, so you can change the configuration to match the level of difficulty you want. Here are the settings you can change in the config.json file in this mod:
- services.flea_market.enabled: if this is false, you can't list new offers, and there won't be any player offers. You can only use the flea-market interface to browse trader offers.
- services.flea_market.only_barter_offers: if you've enabled the flea market, you can set this to false to disable all offers using currency.
- services.flea_market.min_level: the minimum level you have to be in order to use the flea market. If you set this to 1 but disable the flea market, you can use the flea-market interface to browse trader offers, which is convenient.
- services.disable_repairs: this is a misnomer because it doesn't truly disable trader repairs, but it makes them prohibitively expensive. Repair kits are unaffected.
- services.disable_insurance: You'll still see the pre-raid insurance screen if this is enabled, but all items will be blacklisted from insurance. In case you want to turn this off and on during a playthrough, this will not remove insurance for any items that were previously insured.
- services.disable_post_raid_healing: Disables Therapist's post-raid healing.
- services.disable_scav_raids: Disables Scav raids.
- traders.disable_fence: Allows you to remove all of Fence's offers. You can still sell items to Fence.
- traders.barters_only: Removes all trader offers using currency unless they're explicitly whitelisted below.
- traders.whitelist_only: Removes all trader offers unless they're explicitly whitelisted in this mod.
- traders.whitelist: If only barters are allowed, use this to whitelist items even if they're not barters. You can whitelist individual items in the items array or whitelist an item and all of its child items using the parents array. For example, if you have the ID for currency (543be5dd4bdc2deb348b4569) in the parents array, all three currencies (RUB, USD, and EUR) will be whitelisted. You can find ID's for items using https://db.sp-tarkov.com/search/ or find them in [SPT-AKI install directory]\Aki_Data\Server\database\templates\items.json.
- secureContainer.only_use_whitelists_in_this_mod: If this is true, you can't put anything in secure containers unless you explicitly whitelist them. If this is false, the following whitelists are ignored and the default EFT ones are used
instead. This restriction also applies to items contained within the one
you're trying to put in your secure container. For example, you can put
a docs case in your secure container, but you cannot put a docs case
containing currency in your secure container. Similarly, you can put a
docs case containing examined keys into your secure container while in
your stash, but you cannot do this in-raid. If you remove a docs case
containing examined keys from your secure container while in-raid,
you'll need to remove all the examined keys before you'll be allowed to
put the docs case back into your secure container. For this reason, be
careful about unexamined keys! If you examine them and then remove them
from your secure container, you'll be unable to put them back in while
you're in-raid.
- secureContainer.whitelist.global: The items in this whitelist are applied all the time. Similar to the trader-offer
whitelist, you can whitelist individual items in the items array or whitelist an item and all of its child items using the parents array.
- secureContainer.whitelist.inRaid: The items in this whitelist are applied only while in-raid. You can specify different whitelists for items that are inspected or
uninspected.
- secureContainer.whitelist.inHideout: The items in this whitelist are applied only while not in-raid.
The following items are whitelisted for trader offers by default:
- All currency (you can exchange RUB for USD, etc. as much as you want)
- All inventory containers (item cases, Scav junkboxes, etc.)
- All special items (markers, signal jammers, etc.)
- All maps
- Green and yellow flares
The following items are whitelisted for putting in your secure container by default:
- All keys and keycards (but they must not be examined when in-raid)
- Key tool
- Gingy keychain
- Keycard holder
- S I C C case
- Documents case
Known issues:
- If used with Late to the Party 1.2.0 or later, Fence will always sell items even if traders.disable_fence=false in config.json.
- I can't figure out how to blacklist items from trader repairs, so I made them really expensive instead. I can prohibit all traders from being able to repair, but that causes issues in the repair screen.
Good luck!
