🎨 Using Custom RGB Values in Mod Manager
You can manually enter RGB color values for your trash cans or grabber using the Custom RGB field in the Mod Manager Phone App.

• Only the first 3 values are needed — Alpha (transparency) is always set to `1f` automatically

Tip: You may enter full decimal precision but I usually round to the second place. Each value represents the intensity of Red, Green, or Blue.

🧑🤝🧑 Multiplayer Compatibility Matrix
✅ Host Has Mod | ✅ Client Has Mod
Full Sync — Host settings override client settings. Variants appear and behave as expected.
✅ Host Has Mod | ❌ Client No Mod
Partial Support — Host can buy/place variants. Client sees base visuals. Trash cans function but can't be picked up by clients.
❌ Host No Mod | ✅ Client Has Mod
No Injection — Mod skips shop injection.
⚠️ Known Issues / Limitations
• Saving the game while the mod is disabled will remove all upgraded trash items from your save.
You will need to re-purchase them after re-enabling the mod.
• In multiplayer, when a client places an upgraded trash can, other players may briefly see a normal gray trash can.
This happens because the game must first sync the object over the network before the mod can apply its changes.
The mod will retry up to 10 times, with a 2-frame delay between each attempt.
(In testing, it typically synced correctly within 3 tries.)

📝 Author’s Note
The original vision of this mod was to offer more progression-based content to the trash management system of the game.
That’s why each upgrade includes reasonable capacity, radius, prices, and rank requirements.
As development progressed, I added optional support for the ModManager Phone App. This may allow players to set values far beyond intended balance.
Please note: this mod was not designed to be a cheat — it’s meant to give users the freedom to fine-tune values to their preferred playstyle.
