About this mod
This mod makes drastic changes to various systems and is a WIP. Upon completion of this mod it will act more as a survival horror should. The overall game will be darker, harder and more chaotic.

Hello,
I am known as Chariots and I love this franchise! I have been an advent fan of the game even since the OG. With the release of the Remaster I like some others found it to easy and not completely filling a niche I desired to see it fill. So I have set out to help it achieve that status.
This mod will aim to achieve several things I may forget to list some here and I will not list the change specifically as that would ruin the fun!
Currently THIS IS A DEMO and only goes to level 6. After this level it will revert to the core game. This is a WIP!
Some of the things achieved or that will aim to be achieved:
Harder Difficulty - Achieved through more dangerous Things. This entails increased scuttler and THING HP, Walkers being scarier to the team, targeting of the team, less ammo/guns.
Lighting Changes: Various changes to lighting to either fit a new style in a level but mostly darker overall.
New enemies: This includes new walkers and scuttlers!
Increased Infection rate of the team
Carry over of NPC's to new levels + retain NPC loadout/status -> If they are dead obviously they do not carry over.
One or two or a few new NPC's....
Installation
To install this there are a few steps that are required. You must basically tell the game to use the mod file and point to it in a file. The easiest way to do this is to extract the file and place it next to the .exe and edit Thingconfig.csg real quick to tell it this.
Download file & extract.
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Thing Remastered
Place downloaded & extracted Folder in the specified location after unzipping it.(TheThingContinuity)
Go to C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\The Thing
Open thingconfig.cfg in notepad/notepad++. (I open mine in Visual Studio)
At the end of the file add: "ResourceDir" = "TheThingContinuity" - DO THIS WITH ALL QUOTES AS SHOWN.
Save all changes.
You can also watch a how to guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7jwwhGZ-So
Please note any bugs here or in the chat in the NightDive discord, do not pm me directly for them I will not respond as it may get to hectic.
Changes may occur to levels as I progress. This is not perfect yet and will absolutely see further changes!
Special Note:
I want to provide a special thank you to a few people for all their help and inspiration in this endeavor as I move forward and to those who have continued to provide feedback and aid.
