Looking for mods to make the game harder.

Behold the majestic beefalo in it's natural habitat, grazing on the grass, then proceeding expelling the grass through it's waste. Such is the way of life. But whats this? A lone adventurer dares to challenge the beast! Watch as the beefalo charges towards the fool, and... dies. It didn't even get a hit in. How pathetic.

It definitely says something when in a game marketed to be hardcore, one of the physically weakest characters in the game can fight off hordes of shadow creatures and emerge victorious without taking a single point of damage, yet alone one with less then 200 hours in-game. This isn't anything to do with the game itself, but rather the way people ( me included ) play. Being fully prepped for winter by day 5, surviving daring adventures into the ruins, and slaughtering packs of hounds single handedly. And I want to get back that sense of adventure and desperation you have when you first start the game, when you stay camped in you're tiny little base for the first season, use the beefalo to do you're killing for you, and every time you come back from exploring alive makes you cheer with joy. But you can't get that feeling back when you know how to play, so I'm looking for mods that will make the game hard enough that it becomes the case. Just as long as they won't crash my game.

It's hard to find mods making the game harder in a balanced way. Also i think that the feeling you are searching for needs more than difficulty, it needs change so you have to adapt.

For example, there is a mod (waiter 101) that prevent you to use too many of an ingredient as filler (for example too many mushroom). This is great because you need to adapt and possibly change your playstyle. But this mod is adding a lot of food and doesn't make the game harder, just different. Still, i think that if you want a harder mod, you need stuff like this, changes you need to adapt.

 

The only mod i see that makes the game harder at the moment is the season randomizer : seasons become less predictible and long winter or summer could be dangerous.

Thanks, but can I turn off the art in the tools one? It's kinda uncanny valley.
