Death & Taxes

Become the feared master of a biome after killing the forsaken. This mod adds a tribute table for each biome once the forsaken has been defeated. The tribute consists of resources that are typically found in the biome. To build the tribute table you need only a few trophies. However, to gain more and rarer tribute, you must provide more trophies to unlock the table's true potential.

Tables

Meadows (Eikthyr), Black Forest (The Elder), Swamp (Bonemass), Mountains (Moder), Plains (Yagluth), Mistlands (The Queen) and Ashlands (Fader). Every table looks unique and will show the trophies you collected.

How it works

• Carry a Forsaken's trophy and the new table unlocks in the build menu. The forsaken trophy is not a required ingredient for the table.
• Place it under a roof and it slowly produces that biome's resources.
• Offer creature trophies at the table, from your inventory and from chests within 20 m. Trophies come in four rarities: common (up to 10 per type), uncommon (5),

rare (3) and unique (1). More trophies make production faster: from 10 in-game hours per stack down to 1 in-game hour.

• Trophies within 5 m of the table count too, while they are there: on item stands or on the ground (not in

chests). Breaking such a stand destroys the trophy. A trophy used by several tables counts for the earliest biome's table. The range shows as a circle on the ground, like a workbench.

• Kill the boss again and spend its trophy with the "Remind them!" button to double production for an in-game hour

(multiplier configurable).

• Configure to restrict items or change the generation speed.

Important

• The table only holds what it produced. It can't be used as storage.
• One table of each type per player on a server (configurable).
• Refuel/feed mods (e.g. OttoFuel) can take resources from a table near a smelter, fire or torch; turn on

"Block automatic taking" to stop that.

Multiplayer

Install on the server and every player (same version). Settings are server-side and synced to all players; the config file reloads while the game or server runs.

Settings (BepInEx/config/SirCookie.DeathAndTaxes.cfg)

Hours per stack (base/final), progression curve, overclock on/off and multiplier, generated resources per table, tables per player, adding trophies from nearby chests (and their range), nearby trophy range, trophy wall on/off, an optional "no roof" mode, and blocking refuel/feed mods (OttoFuel, ServersideQoL) from taking tribute (off by default).
