+# Consistency
+
+The intention of this mod is to adjust Noita's difficulty tuning. This is accomplished by scaling down enemy HP, scaling up environmental damage, and making gold permanent while reducing its value.
+
+The game should still be quite difficult but most enemies will be much more manageable now especially in early stages.
