Rebalanced Ticking Stress

This mod is part of a broader "Rebalanced" lightweight mods series. (A breakdown from the former "Rebalanced +" mod)

I essentially made each mechanism its own submod so that players could pick only the aspects they want to see modified/added.

Indeed, everyone has a different idea of what needs tweaking in the vanilla game and what does not.

"Why not make everything Game Rule ?" one might ask ; i felt like having those as separate mods would make it easier from a player’s perspective, as most people don’t even bother tweaking the game rules.

It’s also a little easier maintenance-wise on my end, and – I feel – more readable for players. You’ll know exactly what you’re modifying from your subscriptions/playsets.

This mod will include a Game Rule which will give you 3 settings :
– Values set to 50% of default – way easier/lighter
– Default (intended setting to play the mod)
– Values set to 200% of default – way harder/heavier

The idea is to have a mechanism that represents accumulating / losing Stress due to an ongoing situation that you will have to resolve / compensate for as a player. This mod is Player only and I will not make it player and AI for performance and obvious balancing reasons.

Overall, this idea is to make the game slightly more challenging and immersive as well.
