One Last Contract
Hat Kid always had her eye on home from the beginning. The huge adventure she'd just been on was more of a detour than anything to her, although it was quite necessary to make her way home. When a familiar friend presented an offer to accelerate that journey home, for just one last contract, she found the offer irresistible. Perhaps it was the strange ragtime music playing, or perhaps her reckless nature that lead her to ignore the fine print. Either way, the contract had been signed, beginning a second, much different adventure.

Cook up mad concoctions!
* No passive benefits by default

Activate to begin brewing a Mad Concoction. Once ready, it can be thrown, dealing 100 damage in a small area, as well as dealing damage to structures and the environment.

Can be refueled using Slurtle Slime or Gunpowder.



It's so cold!
* 120 Winter Insulation (identical to a Winter Hat)

Activate to become a block of ice. After a brief period of invincibility, slam into the ground, dealing a small amount of damage to nearby enemies, and freezing them for the equivalent of 2 Ice Staff hits.

Can be refueled using Ice.



See the world through a Dweller's eyes!
* No passive benefits by default

Activate to emit a bright green aura. While inside this aura, mortal damage will be redirected to your max health at a 4:1 ratio, and you gain Night Vision.

Players can be revived by deactivating the hat while a dead player is within it's radius. This requires and consumes a bit of fuel.

Can be refueled using Nightmare Fuel.



Death is inevitable. Your time is valuable.

I recommend you run the following mods alongside Hat Kid, however none of them are required for the mod to function.

• Insight (Show Me+)
  
• Extra Equip Slots (+Render) [Doom]
  
• Show cooldown time
  
• Status Announcements

Additionally, Hat Kid is specifically compatible with Meme Language, however it is also not required.


I'm planning on putting more things in this mod over time. 1.0.0 was a fine release point in my opinion, however I'm still not done with it. Here's the planned perks and features at the moment

• Make Hat Kid craft all hats, besides her own, 25% cheaper than normal. Done! (1.1.0)
  
• Refactor hat ability code to not be a rat's nest. Done! (1.2.0)
  
• Make the Blue Umbrella more unique
  
• Hat skins to match current character skins
  
• Custom health system, mimicking the 4 hp system from the source game, to shake up gameplay.
  
• Add Pons and Badges.
  
• Redo Time Stop Hat VFX
  
• Better compatibility with PvP mode
  
• Add Time Rifts and Time Pieces
  
• Add a Rumbi Pet
  
• Custom foods, possibly referencing Gears for Breakfast or Nyakuza Metro foods
  
• Playable Bow Kid, maybe even Timmy

Includes extra assets, scrapped code and mechanics, as well as other things I use to develop this mod. This should come in handy, should I ever stop developing the mod, and it breaks. Keep in mind, it's really messy.

This mod started as a fork of this original Hat Kid (DST) mod. At this point virtually no code from that mod is left, almost everything has been rewritten, remade, or removed, however it still served as a big inspiration for me.
