Snips for New Features (from README)

...

🛡️ Add Hidden Stashes (immune to detection by camera clipping/xray) and a skill to detect them (skill can optionally be removed).

Features

...

• ☠️ Updates Treasure Hunter to also be capable of detecting Hidden Stashes nearby. This can be helpful for locating your own stash if you forget to mark it on the map, or for finding the stash of your opponent.
  • ⏳ With this skill, the player is required to crouch and stay completely still to focus on nearby stashes for an extender period of time (even firing a weapon, reloading, or using an item would interrupt focus and reset the timer).
  • 💎 Once the nearby area has been fully examined, the player will see in-world and compass icons indicating the position of nearby Hidden Stashes.

Usage

...

• 👀 Detection: Invest at least one skill point into the Treasure Hunter perk, located within the Perception skill tree.
  • ⏳ After that, find you can place a hidden stash and bury it, the crouch near your hidden stash. A timer will count down and then you'll see an icon for your hidden stash if you are close enough to it.
  • ❌ When you get up to move, fire a weapon, or perform almost any other action (besides simply looking around), all hidden stash icons will disappear and you'll need to wait while crouching once more if you want to see them again.

No Treasure Hunter Perk Variant

🤔 If you dislike the idea of players being able to detect Hidden Stashes, you can remove that functionality by copying the contents of Config/variant-without-perk into Config.

• ℹ️ Once copied/overwritten, this mod will no longer include the changes to Treasure Hunter (meaning that players will have no way of detecting Hidden Stashes other than digging and directly interacting with them).
• 🛠️ You can make this change at any time, even in an active map! Restarting the server will cause the change to go into effect and will not cause harm to your map or world save in any way.
  • ✅ If you later decide to add the perk back, you can do so by copying Config/default-with-perk into Config - again, without causing any harm to your ongoing map.

Container Size Adjustments

• 🛠️ If you aren't happy with the container size of the hidden stashes (maybe you want them larger or smaller), you can easily adjust this by modifying the size field in Config/loot.xml.
  • ✅ Changing this value will have no negative effect on an existing map; just keep in mind that any stashes already placed will have the original size values before your change.
