A Risk of Rain 2 mod that gives you complete control over the Evolution artifact! Instead of random items, monsters gain items according to your custom schedule. This was heavily inspired by ArtifactofEvolutionPlusPlus by the talented Lunzir.
After running the mod once, edit BepInEx/config/com.FortressForce.PlannedEvolution.cfg:
[General]
# Set to false to disable the mod
Enabled = true
Configure stages 1-20. Default progression:
[Evolution Schedule]
Stage 1 = AnyWhite, 1
Stage 2 = AnyWhite, 1
Stage 3 = AnyWhite, 1
Stage 6 = AnyGreen, 1
Stage 11 = AnyRed, 1
Prevent specific items from appearing in random pools:
[Blacklists]
Banned Whites = RollOfPennies
Banned Greens = SquidPolyp
Banned Reds = ShockNearby
Each stage config line follows this pattern:
ItemIdentifier, Count; ItemIdentifier, Count
Give 1 Soldier's Syringe
Stage 1 = Syringe, 1
Give 3 Lens-Maker's Glasses
Stage 2 = CritGlasses, 3
Give 1 random white, then 2 Gasoline
Stage 3 = AnyWhite, 1; Gasoline, 2
Give 5 random greens
Stage 4 = AnyGreen, 5
Specific Items - Use internal item codes:
Syringe = Soldier's SyringeCritGlasses = Lens-Maker's GlassesBehemoth = Brilliant BehemothHoof = Paul's Goat HoofRandom Tiers - Use keywords:
AnyWhite = Random white (common) itemAnyGreen = Random green (uncommon) itemAnyRed = Random red (legendary) itemAnyVoid = Random void itemExample: Reverse progression
Stage 5 = AnyRed, 1
Stage 10 = AnyRed, -1; AnyWhite, 5
