WHAT IS THIS MOD?

The K Smith Modpack features 6 new custom gamemodes that put a spin on the usual Death Road format.

Last Dinks on Earth
• Start off with a party of four in this 15 day journey. However, trading camps and road recruits no longer appear!
• Visit a Familiar Neighborhood to fine tune your starting roster, or go at it solo for an extra challenge!
• Keep your party alive as you'll encounter 60% extra zombies as well as cruel bandits.

10 Day Siege
• Every day in this 10 day journey features 2-3 sieges. Survive each day and you'll be rewarded with FOOD.
• Visit a trading camp or a city at the start of each day. Buy yourself some training at a camp, or scavenge for supplies in a city.
• The difficulty rises each day offering larger hordes and harder sieges. The further you make it, the better your reward!

Border Mountie Simulator
• Take the role of a border Mountie and help survivors make it to Canada as you fight waves and waves of zombies!
• You'll earn ZOMBO POINTS the more survivors you rescue and the more waves you survive. Go for a high score!
• Survivors are completely randomized! You may even encounter Familiar Characters who will join your cause or Rare Characters who will boost your paycheck.

Timer Mode
• Short Trip to Heck gameplay but with an on-screen timer. The timer is accurate to the millisecond!
• Your best time is saved to the gamemode selection screen. Go for a new Personal Best and brag to your friends about it.
• Become a speedrunning expert by beating time milestones. How fast can YOU make it to Canada?

Hardcore Mode
• Death is permanent! Start off with a party of four, but you will not be able to hire new recruits!
• The Familiar Neighborhood features ALL of your familiar characters. Assemble the perfect party or just choose your favorites.
• Some recruits have been given easter eggs for trying to recruit them. Can you find them all?

Chaos Mode
• Death Road to Canada - Chaos Edition! Survive a road trip with chaotic effects that can change almost anything about the game!
• There are many types of effects to watch out for like stat changes, forced events, item spawns, and more!
• Want to personalize the chaos experience? Visit the Chaos Camp to customize almost everything there is to Chaos Mode!

The K Smith Modpack also features various custom cheevos for beating custom gamemodes, reaching certain milestones, and finding hidden easter eggs!
Whether you play casually or are a Death Road veteran, there is a lot of content for you to enjoy.



HOW TO INSTALL

1) Navigate to your Steam folder (by default: C:\Program Files\Steam\)
2) Open the "steamapps" folder
3) Open the "common" folder

HOW TO UNINSTALL

The method for uninstalling depends on whether or not you have a backup of the vanilla "DeathRoadToCanada" folder.
If you DO have a backup, refer to the section "If you DO have a backup..."
If you DO NOT have a backup, don't worry! Refer to the section "If you DO NOT have a backup..."

The K Smith Modpack comes with various custom files that stick around after uninstalling.
These files WILL NOT affect a vanilla version of Death Road to Canada, but I have included instructions
  for removing them if you so wish.
Refer to the section REMOVING RESIDUAL MOD FILES for more information.

It is recommended you delete any and all game slots after uninstalling the K Smith Modpack.
Game slots with modded content may not play correctly after uninstalling this mod, even if they are running vanilla gamemodes.
Custom characters, vanilla gamemode statistics, Zombo Town upgrades, and earned vanilla cheevos are unaffected.
