Easier Start

Grants an easier start to the game by delaying the monster ambush at the start of the game to the second night instead of the first night


Installation:
This is a BepInEx mod. BepInEx is a software package, which allows to change the game's programming libraries and functions.

1) Make sure that you have the latest version of Artificer. Update if necessary.

2) Download the latest x64 version of BepInEx from: https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases

3) Extract the downloaded archive into the Artificer game directory.

The Artificer game directory should then have these subdirectories and files in them (among others):
 - Artificer_Data
 - BepInEx
 - MonoBleedingEdge
 - saves
o Artificer.exe
o doorstop_config.ini
o winhttp.dll

4) Download this mod and extract it to the Artificer game directory.

You should now have the following file:
 - BepInEx
   - plugins
      o EasierStart.dll

Run the game as usual. After the game has run at least once, there should be a file "LogOutput.log" in the BepInEx directory.

The log should read as follows:
[Message:   BepInEx] BepInEx 5.4.11.0 - Artificer

5) If the log looks as shown above then the fix is active and working.
