This is a straight up code alteration that swaps out most instances of equipment destroying attacks, as well as an adjustment to the encounter rate with mimics.

This is 2 files that the game uses to determine events, and weapon functionality. It will literally replace the existing files. It is recommended, that if you want to be able to revert the changes that you backup all the 2 files that this changes.
Note: The game folder location varies depending on your configuration and system. The default Steam folder is located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\For The King II
1) SkillEncounters.json Location: <game folder>\For The King II\For The King II_Data\StreamingAssets\Assets\Configs\JSON~ Function: This alters the treasure chests to have a 1 in 5 chance of spawning a mimic, rather than a 2 in 3.
2) Weapons.json Location: <game folder>For The King II_Data\StreamingAssets\Assets\Configs\JSON~\Things Function: Replaces the attacks for Mimics to steal gold, and the Crabs attacks for a melee stun attack, instead of destroying your items. This does not alter the acid attacks that destroy items, as I felt this was very appropriate to the nature of the attack.
The 7zip has everything nested in the correct folders, so you can just follow the same path within the 7zip folder if you want to back up the files. Or, just copy the whole contents into your For The King II folder.
You are welcome to only do only 1 of them as they are not dependent on each other.
