You better watch out. You better not mine. Don't touch that fuel, I'm tellin' you why. Mr Spooks is coming, and you're going to die.

Spooky Tweaks is a large scale overhaul mod aiming to 'funbalance' the game. That is to say, games are meant to be fun and enjoyable, even if that makes them slightly easier. This changes a lot of things, and MAY not be compatible with other tweaks.

This mod adds no *new* content! You can add and remove it at any time without destroying your saves. Please still make save backups to be safe. It's also clientside muliplayer compatible, allowing users to use most features without the host having the mod. Hosting with this mod will still change many things for connecting users who don't have it.
