Some ideas/suggestions for your mod

[Hotklou]

Items you could add to your list:

• Revolver Shell Casing. Rifle Shell Casing is on the vanilla list already, so why not add Revolver Shell Casing to your list as well?
• Improvised Hatchet. Improvised Knife is on the vanilla list (and on your "allow on interloper" list) already, so why not add Improvised Hatchet to your list as well?
• Flare Gun. Since you're adding guns to beachcombing, why not add the Flare Gun as well? Due to is incredible usefulness it would be extremely rare though.
• Antibiotics. It is much more useful than Painkillers, so it would be much rarer.
• Jerry Can. It would be near empty (it needs air inside to be able to float, anyways), and because of its usefulness it'd be among the rarer items on the list.
• Spray Paint. It's a non-renewable item and it is not incredibly heavy (besides, if rifles can wash up on the beach a can of spray paint definitely can as well), so I think it fits the criteria.

Other ideas:

• You could make another list that does the opposite of your current list. One that lists all the items on the vanilla list, and then you can choose if you want to "ban" any of those items to prevent them from showing up when you are beachcombing. Then players who like things really hard can make it even harder on themselves.

Other than the fact that I can't control the fill of the jerrycan, every item on that list is easily doable. If you make those changes and create a pull request, I'll merge it.

Well... I don't really know much about game balancing (I assume you'd have to set the chances for each item to show up?). Personally, I think you'd do a better job at it than me.

Also, a question: If you can't control the fill of the jerrycan, will the game fill it with a random amount as it usually does? Because usually they are not very full, so it would probably be perfectly fine to just add it to the list and letting the game fill it on its own, wouldn't it?

Besides, I don't really know how I'd even go about making those changes...? If you could show or tell me how I'd gladly give it a go though! :)

Okay so I downloaded all the project files and opened up the project with Microsoft Visual Studio. It told me that there were a whole bunch of errors and I fixed them by setting up the references again to the Mods folder, the MelonLoader folder and the Managed folder that's inside the MelonLoader folder, and by ticking all those little boxes. But I still got 3 warnings that I don't know how to fix (will they even cause any problems btw?). Here's what they say:

The referenced component 'ModSettings' could not be found. The referenced component 'UnhollowerBaseLib' could not be found. The referenced component 'MelonLoader.ModHandler' could not be found.

What do I do to fix that?
