Easy Upgrade Unlocks

This mod simplifies upgrade progression by reducing all NPC favor (cat donation) requirements to 1. Any upgrade that previously required 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100 cats has been standardized to a cost of a single cat.

Changes Overview

The following adjustments have been applied:

• Frank: Third room (previously 25), fourth room (50), fifth room (100), and parasite rewards (10).

• Butch: All storage expansions from levels 2–7 (previously 10–20 each), as well as all repeatable storage upgrades (10 each).

• Tink: All user interface unlocks (previously 10 each), including base stats, inbreeding, sexuality, tags, aggression, and relationships.

• Jack: Shop upgrades 2–4 (previously 10, 20, and 30), along with repeatable rewards (10).

• Tracy: All shop unlocks (previously 10 each), including food storage, blank collars, idols, and rare items.

• Organ Grinder: All upgrades from levels 1–6 (previously 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150), as well as repeatable rewards (10).

• Beanies: Repeatable quests (previously 5).

Initial unlock tiers for each NPC remain unchanged, as they already require only one cat by default.

Installation

1. Place the “easy_npc_upgrades” folder into the Mewtator mods directory.

2. Launch Mewtator and enable the mod.

3. Start the game through Mewtator.

Compatibility

This mod utilizes .gon.patch files, allowing it to merge with the base game data rather than overwrite it. It is compatible with most other mods, except in cases where the same NPC favor values in npc_favor_unlocks.gon are modified.

Additional Notes

• This mod does not remove prerequisite conditions for unlocks. For example, Butch’s upgrades still require progression through specific acts or chapters.

• Steven’s unlock system remains unaffected, as it operates through a separate mechanic.

• Existing save files are fully compatible, and any previously accumulated NPC favor will be retained.
