A mod that adjusts quest rewards would definitely conflict with PBD, and likely cause larger issues with quests down the line. DD modding is, unfortunately, not very modular when it comes to some things, and there's no merging tool. Safest thing to do if you still want to run with other mods is to drag them all below PBD, so that PBD's files overwrite those mods if needed.

i took a look and experimented a bit with different mod setups and oddly it seems to have been increased quest rewards, or my luck was exceptionally bizarre. weird that it only happened with the cove.
thats all, i'll stop hogging your comments now!
Maester Silvio  [author] Mar 8 @ 11:46pm 
That definitely shouldn't be the case. Room number should vary between ~10-25 depending on length. Taking a look at the files, everything seems in order. Are any other mods being run, by chance?
cassius Mar 8 @ 12:20pm 
heyo, i've got a quick question - i have noticed dungeon generation length seems completely unaffected by the "length" of a dungeon. like, short, medium, and long length dungeons all are about the same length, at least in the cove. is this intentional or did i break something
Maester Silvio  [author] Mar 5 @ 11:48pm 
Some classes may break the game, if they are extensive enough, but others will just end up being underwhelming after T1 dungeons - always happy to help people with a quick mod fix!
cassius Mar 5 @ 7:28pm 
if i may ask a question myself if you throw on any custom classes with this mod does it just catastrophically fuck the balance or is it acceptable
cassius Mar 5 @ 7:19pm 
posting a custom config for a random person in the steam comments is something only a saint would do
im not even the person it was for and i would die for you now
Maester Silvio  [author] Mar 5 @ 8:32am 
<3 Thank you as well; anything else you need, let me know!
Some Guy Mar 4 @ 5:48pm 
Thanks alot! Best wishes to you and yours.

Thanks for the words of support, I really love knowing people are still enjoying this mod so many years later!

As for the mod question, directly modifying files won't change anything in game. There would have to be a patch. I've made one for you, available here [drive.google.com]. Unpack this into your 'mods' folder and make sure to place it above the core PBD file in the load order list. If you have any issues installing it, add me on discord (maestersilvio) and I'll give you a hand with it!
