A mod for The Long Dark that lets you decide how many Prepper Caches spawn in custom mode games.
This mod also includes a command to activate a number of randomly chosen caches in existing save files, see below.
- If you haven't done so already, install MelonLoader by downloading and running MelonLoader.Installer.exe
- If you haven't done so already, install ModSettings v1.6 or newer
- Download the latest version of
CacheControl.dll
from the releases page - Move
CacheControl.dll
into the Mods folder in your TLD install directory
Alternatively, you can download CacheControl_with_ModSettings.zip
and extract it into your Mods directory.
-
Start a custom mode game:
-
Scroll down to the 'Gear' section and set 'Override number of prepper caches' to 'Yes'
-
Select how many caches you want to spawn in Mystery Lake and Pleasant Valley by dragging the sliders
-
Start the game and find these caches!
As this mod adds new custom mode settings, it won't work in existing and/or non-custom games.
However, the mod also adds a console command, force_reroll_caches
, that can be used to enable more prepper caches in old games.
To use such commands, you'll need a mod with a console such as FINDarkside's Developer-Console mod.
To use the command, load your old game, travel to either Mystery Lake or Pleasant Valley and open the console.
Then, run the command force_reroll_caches n
, where n
is the (positive) number of caches you want to spawn.
This will first disable all caches and then choose n
possible cache spawn locations to activate.
In other words, it's possible to lose access to caches you've already discovered, so be careful when using this command.
