Hero Reforged
This is a balancing mod that you can use if the game difficulty feels too high for you. This mod makes you more durable in combat, giving you more leeway during fights. However, that is not the end.
It also extends the day/night cycle, giving you more time to explore before you have to rest. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, you do not lose your items upon death.

Faster Cooldowns

You might have noticed that many consumable items have a cooldown before they can be used again. This prevents you from spamming these items in a true pinch. If you want to get rid of this problem, then this mod is perfect.
It will set the cooldowns of all player and ship consumables to one second. This is a very short wait, letting you easily use these items again and again if you wish.
Expanded Horizons
This is a complete overhaul of various mechanics and systems in Windrose. Various perks from this mod include:
- Reduced processing times
- Lanterns last longer
- Balanced looting system
- Guaranteed four stat points at later levels
- and various others.
Note: Do not remove this mod while a save file is using it. It can lead to corruption of save data and loss of progress.

Max Stack Sizes

Different items are capped at a maximum stack limit. So, if you pick up more than this, your inventory gets clogged faster. Fortunately, this mod helps you out perfectly.
You can have different multipliers to change the maximum stack limit of any item in the game. This lets you hoard all the items you want and need.
Better Minimap Range

If you feel that the fog on the map gets reduced too slowly, you will definitely enjoy this mod. The minimap will give you a larger view of the surrounding area, making exploration much easier than normal.
