Easy Mode - what are the rules?

[Khallis]

Version 1.06 adds an Easy Mode to the config tool.

You may wonder, how does that interact with the save game system?

The answer is, if you turn Easy Mode on in the config tool, then any savegame you touch will become Easy. Once any run has become Easy, it cannot ever be converted back. If Easy Mode is on, any new run you start will also be Easy.

Easy games have half the radiation, which means you can stay twice as long. However, at the end of any Easy run, your health line will look something like:

Easy, Near Perfect Health: x 31%


This is where the 33% score multiplier happens - Easy, Perfect Health is only 33%.

So, it's unlikely (I think) that the highest scores will become Easy runs, but for those people who wanted the pressure of time taken mostly off, there it is. You'll still get your actual health represented in your epilogue text, so you'll have the same stories you'd have gotten had it been a normal run.

If you turn Easy Mode off in the config tool, any runs that were Easy will stay Easy, but your next new run will be normal.

Great solution I think.
More time for explorers and for those who want to try out end-game equipment more.
Thanks!
