Yaqsa: Yet Another Quickstart Attempt
Configure your multiplayer quickstarts dynamically in-game! No more editing lua files or tweaking mod settings to get the exact items you want to start with.
Features:
- Customizable Quickstart: Pick the exact items and quantities you want to start your playthrough with, using an intuitive in-game GUI.
- Presets System: Quickly load built-in presets (like basic automation or equipment) directly into your quickstart configuration.
- Configure Once for Multiplayer: Once the admin configures the quickstart, all connecting players will receive it automatically.
- Death Quickstart: Configure a specific set of items for players to receive upon respawning to help them recover their corpse!
- Mid-Game Safe: You can safely add this mod to an existing playthrough.
How to Use the Configurator:
- When the game starts (or when using
/edit_quickstart), the GUI will appear for admins. - Select empty slots to add items you want to spawn with.
- Modify the quantity using the text fields.
- The counter at the top shows how much inventory space your configured items will consume.
- Close or hit "Save" on the window to finalize the quickstart. New players will receive it instantly!
