Graven’s Mutation Mod
Adds a few toughness and mutation level scaling defensive mutations. WIP Mod for a larger mutation mod I’m working on.
This mod makes spending points on mutations more impactful in the moment. Adding stat-scaling to mutations means you never have to ‘waste’ a point to get a mutation to the level before a major upgrade. This also allows for ‘playing wide’ with your mutation builds if desired.
ALL TOUGHNESS AND WILLPOWER SCALING MUTATIONS ARE NOW 100% WRAPPED INTO PHYSICAL MUTATIONS ENTIRELY. This should fix a majority of reported issues with brain brine and a rare hang-up when generating certain legendaries.
‘Toughness’ mutations are physical mutations that recieve boosts and penalties to performance from your toughness modifier, exactly like mental mutations. Additionally, ‘toughness’ mutations will color your character’s detail color if you turn on the game option ‘allow some mutations to color the player @’. This coloring will be overwritten by tattoos and the albino defect. These colors can be customized by editing the .cs files which can be easily located below.

Bug fixes / updates / new content for this mod will come VERY SLOWLY. IRL is tougher than caves of qud rn. User patches / fixes / reposts of this mod have my blessing as long as you aren’t charging money for it. I love user suggestions so don’t hesitate to suggest new mutations and ill be glad to add to them!
Acknowledgement that the original 4 mutations of this mod utilized code and ideas from WM Mutations. In the months since this mod released the two have diverged significantly, but I am still grateful to them for providing such excellent work for me to learn from.
