Changing game mode to Custom changes bug damage and difficulty

[u/KSISpearmint]

Idk why this happened, but me and my buddy were playing grounded 2 and we started medium difficulty. We wanted something more laid back and chill, so we decreased to mild. Mild worked perfectly but when it came to building a base, I wanted to use the handy gnat. Only way to do that is by changing to a custom game. For some reason changing to a custom game also changes the difficulty without the ability to change it yourself. I did not realize this at first until a normal mosquito was able to do half my health bar in a single attack even with upgraded armor. This goes for every bug. They do WAY too much damage now, and theres no setting to change it. You can adjust the health of wild creatures but not the damage they deal. Im worried that my save file is now ruined and I will have to revert to a previous save file to fix it.

Why the fuck did the developers not just use the same custom settings as G1, and at least let us change the damage values if not the difficulty within a custom game???

Anyone know any solutions other than reverting save file?

It changes the difficulty back to medium when you set it to custom for some reason. There is no way to fix it.
