Configuring Tiers

What Are Tiers?

Tiers are difficulty levels in the House Robbery V2 system. Each tier has different requirements, interiors, approaches, loot tables, and difficulty settings. Players progress through tiers by gaining experience and leveling up.

Adding a New Tier

To add a new tier, create a new entry in the Config.Tiers table with a unique tier number as the key.

Basic Structure

Config.Tiers = {
    [1] = {
        ["Level"] = 1,
        ["Interior"] = "shell_name",
        ["Approach"] = {"approach1", "approach2"},
        ["RequiredItemForLockpicking"] = "item_name",
        ["ExpOnDone"] = 10,
        ["ExpForAllGroupMembers"] = false,
        ["LootableSpots"] = {},
        ["LootableProps"] = {},
        ["LootableCash"] = {},
        ["LootableSafes"] = {},
        ["LootableDisplays"] = {},
        ["LootablePaintings"] = {},
        ["LootableHighValueItems"] = {},
        ["Spots"] = {},
        ["Props"] = {},
        ["Cash"] = {},
        ["Display"] = {},
        ["Painting"] = {},
        ["Safe"] = {},
        ["HighValueItems"] = {},
        ["Tenants"] = {},
        ["Pets"] = {},
        ["LootTable"] = {}
    }
}

Tips for Balancing Tiers

Progressive Difficulty: Higher tiers should have:
- Higher level requirements
- More armed tenants (WeaponChance)
- Lower loot finding chances (FindingLootChance)
- More valuable loot in safe rewards
Spawn Chances: Use spawn chances to create variety:
- Not every robbery needs to have all features
- Lower spawn chances for high-value items create rarity
- Balance risk vs reward with tenant/pet spawn chances
Loot Distribution: Ensure the count ranges match your configured lootable arrays:
- If LootableSpots = {1, 2, 3}, then SpotCount max should not exceed 3
- Use empty arrays {} for features you want to disable
Experience Points: Balance XP rewards with difficulty:
- Higher tiers should give more XP
- Consider XP for individual actions (spots, safes) vs completion bonus
Approaches: Offer multiple approaches for higher tiers to give players options while lower tiers might have limited entry methods
