HardCore Lite

tldr: Deletes your whole inventory on death (including inventory slots, hotbar, equipped items and void pouch)

Did you ever feel like the game lacks a consequence for death? Is dropping your inventory to the ground just so you can pick it up again as if nothing happened not enough? Did you play hardcore but find yourself not motivated enough to do long and proper base building just to die 5 minutes later by accident and lose your whole base again when the world and your char deletes? Then you are like me!

Thats why i made this mod. I wanted to have a challenge and have death be meaningful but i also want to build huge bases with lots of settlers but hardcore is straight up too punishing for that (at least for me).

I tried asking the devs about something like this like 2 years ago but so far nothing happened so i doubt it will. So i just took matters into my own hands and (quickly) made this.

What is does is bridge the gap between too easy (non hardcore) modes and hardcore mode.

If you set your game death penalty on world creation to hardcore then nothing changes. this mod does absolute nothing in that scenario. If you pick any of the others (nothing, drop materials, drop inventory and the other one i forgot...) then, when you inevitably die, the following will happen:

- your whole inventory gets deleted. all slots. - your hotbar items get deleted. - your equipped items (so armor, trinkets and even cosmetics) get deleted - your void pouch gets voided (pun intended). even when you didnt have it with you when you died (but who doesnt care his void pouch though?)

This mod makes combat meaningful again. each death hurts. hard. but you still get rewarded for building a base to keep spare parts and full separate loadouts. Trying a new boss you dont know yet? maybe dont bring your A gear. Just going farming a bit? maybe bring a bodyguard just in case. Lost your tier 10 gear in an incursion but didnt have a backup? back to square one you go.

For multiplayer you should need the mod on the server AND the clients. but i have not tested if it works (though i wouldnt know why it shouldnt)
