Randomize vanilla barters. Optionally randomizes after every raid/trader reset! Customizable seed for replayability! Share your seed/difficulty to get the same outcome with friends!
What this mod changes:
-
Randomizes all trader "barter" items
The algorithm basically looks at the costs for the target item, and then randomly chooses items that are near to the same cost for the trade.
In general, trades should be more sensical and require fewer items.
-
Configurable difficulty
-
Configurable seed, let no two play throughs feel the same!
-
Randomize barters after every raid/trader reset by setting the seed to 0 (zero)!
-
Share your favourite seed/difficulty multiplier with friends to have the same experience as them!
Compatibility:
- PUT this AFTER ALGORITHMIC LEVEL PROGRESSION in the order.json load order!!!
- Should be compatible with almost everything
- There is a config option to support custom traders as well!

Major update
- The algorithm now runs on game start, and after raids.
- You can set the barters to randomize after every raid by setting:
"seed": 0, - Added a new setting to hardcoreSettings that makes it so you can turn on/off magazine barters for cash barters:
"excludeMagBarters": true
That's all for now, have fun!

Compatibility Optimization:
- Should help with compatibility with mods that implement items incorrectly with the DB.

Config change:
- Fixed a bug with cash barters and custom items.
- "Difficulty" has been replaced by two new values:
"barterCostMultiplier": 0.7,
"cashBarterCostMultiplier": 0.5,
These values multiply the base items (to be traded for's) prices to figure the rough cost of the total barter items.
For example, if the item costs 100, and the multiplier is 0.5, the traded item value would be 50.

Complete rewrite:
- Completely rewrote the mod, balance feels much closer to live barters.
NOTE: the hardcore mode may present trades that when combined are unbalanced, this is a known side effect of the random nature of this mod.
