ItemGains: A Deeper Look at Your Brotato Economy

Understanding Your True Material Gains

Welcome to the world of Brotato, where every decision, from weapon choice to item acquisition, impacts your survival odds. While the in-game UI provides valuable information, some players seek a more nuanced understanding of their economic flow. The ItemGains mod offers precisely that, aiming to provide a more accurate reflection of your material gains when purchasing certain items.

How ItemGains Reframes Your Purchases

The core concept behind ItemGains is simple yet insightful. Instead of showing the raw material value an item grants, it subtracts the cost of acquiring that item. This means the “materials gained” stat will start at a negative value, representing the initial investment. This adjustment provides a clearer picture of your net profit from items designed to generate resources over time.

Key Features of the ItemGains Mod:

• Adjusts the “materials gained” tooltip to reflect item purchase cost.
• Provides a more realistic representation of your economic progress.
• Focuses on items that directly contribute to material generation.

Impacted Items for a Sharper Economic View

The ItemGains mod specifically targets several key items within Brotato that are central to material acquisition and management. By applying its logic to these items, players can gain a more precise understanding of their return on investment. The items affected are:

• Bag
• Hunting Trophy
• Metal Detector
• Piggy Bank
• Recycling Machine

For instance, purchasing a Metal Detector for 40 materials will now display a starting “materials gained” value of -40. This highlights that you’ve spent resources to acquire the item before it begins to generate any profit. This subtle but significant change can influence how players strategize their early-game purchases and resource management, encouraging a more calculated approach to building their economy.
