[Request] / [Need Help] Deeper into Insanity.

[Corpserule]

Hey, I've been thinking of making a don't starve mod (deeper into insanity), which "SEEMS" simple to me, but i don't have any experience modding Don't Starve :/. (But i do have coding experience)
 

The Mod does as follows - Whenever a new map is generated due to the things being collected, it generates a slightly harder world than the previous world, rather than using the defaults


So what i need to make it myself to make it...

-the location of the event where the player jumps map
-how to alter map settings (something like preferences.beefalo.get() and stuff)
-a way to add a new map (or apply the settings if the effect isn't immediate

If someone else wants to make it, I can provide the logic of "harder map" on request, as many settings are subjective (are more beefalo when beefalo are more often in heat, helpful?, if theres no food around, are more tallbirds just providing the player more food?, how good is the player at handling tallbirds).

I have taken a few hours to look around, but if i've missed helpful tutorials for this, i'd be happy to check them out
