RiskyMod

A full-game overhaul that aims to bring it closer to RoR1's balance. My main priority is multiplayer, but the mod is balanced in solo as well.

I highly recommed installing https://thunderstore.io/package/Moffein/EliteReworks/ to go with this.

Full change list can be found here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Igxdur0M33fdkcDLYgDEbLE0M4-89gSTorxgdn-oyKs/

This mod merges in fixes and tweaks from a bunch of other mods. If you have those mods installed, these fixes/changes will disable and the original mod will take priority (Except for Bandit Grace Period).

Feel free to take features of this mod and release them as standalone as long as you link the original GitHub repo in the README.

Main Features

Removed proc chains.
Oneshot Protection now actually works.
- Oneshot = Going from >90% HP to 0% HP in under 0.5s
- Once triggered, you have to be out of danger (no damage for 7s) before it can be retriggered.
Shields gate against HP damage like the Guardian's Heart in RoR1.
- Transcendence/Perfected Affix disable Oneshot Protection due to having shieldgating built-in.
Big balance pass over nearly all the items.
- Bad items like Squid Polyps and Warbanners have gotten substantial buffs.
- Strong damage items like AtGs and Elemental Bands now have lowered damage.
- Most forms of range scaling have been removed.
Big balance pass over all the Survivors
- Less useless skill options, default Commando is good now!
Drones performance now remains the same on all stages.

Other Changes

Combat Shrines give less money, but drop items for the team on completion.
Teleporter radius expands once the boss is dead.
Tweaked Commencement
- Only 2 pillars are required to activate the jump pads.
- Pillars drop items for the team on completion, and you can complete as many as you want.

Installation

Place RiskyMod.dll AND the language folder in /Risk of Rain 2/BepInEx/plugins/RiskyMod

Planned Changes (Not implemented yet)

Mostly done with everything I've wanted to do with the mod. Plan going forward is to iron out the existing balance and do a bit of spawn pool tweaking. I don't like the state that Pennies/Watch/Elixir are in, and Corpsebloom/Desk Plant are still bad, but they probably won't get changed. I personally just blacklist them when playing.

Make Google Doc more readable/pretty.
- Split up into multiple separate docs?
Enemies
- Enemy Pools
  - Make Wisps/Pests/Jellyfish never overlap on any stage?
  - Remove Alpha Constructs from all stages except Sulfur Pools
    - Alpha Constructs on Distant Roost postloop, instead of Titanic Plains?
  - Remove Xi Constructs from every map except Sulfur Pools (and maybe Sky Meadow?)
  - Sundered Grove
    - Remove Dunestrider
    - Remove Lemurians
    - Add Grovetender
    - Add Vultures
    - Remove either Larva or Jellyfish?
  - Should Larva be spawning on Aqueduct?
  - Worms on Aqueduct when looping.
  - Overloading Worms on any map that Magma Worms can spawn on.
  - Sky Meadow
    - Remove Xi Constructs?
    - Remove Alpha Consructs
    - Add Imps
    - Bring back Worms?
    - Add Lunar Golems?
- Make Mushrums less cancer.

Changelog

0.9.3

Moon Pillars Drop Items
- Fixed Pearl Overwrite Chance setting not working.
Void Signals Drop Items
- Fixed Pearl Overwrite Chance setting not working.

0.9.2

Shrine of Combat Items
- Removed an extra space in the notification string.
Leeching Seed
- Fixed description showing the old heal percents.

0.9.1

Items
- Defense Nucleus
  - Increased HP from 0% (+30%/stack) -> 300% (+150%/stack) to match the new Vanilla scaling.
  - Increased damage from 0% (+100%/stack) -> 300% (+150%/stack) to match the new Vanilla scaling.

0.9.0

Releasing this earlier than expected due to the Vanilla update breaking the previous version. Let me know if there's any bugs or if I accidentally left some unfinished changes in.

Artificer
- Blaze Storm
  - Changed sounds and VFX.
Void Fiend
- Tresspass
  - Gives +30% movement speed and fall damage immunity until you hit the ground after exiting the skill.
Player-Controlled Monsters
- Now immune to Stun/Hitstun.
Run Scaling
- Modded Scaling
  - Now is handled via a less-intrusive hook instead of replacing the whole method, since only 1 value is changed.
  - Increased per-player exponential factor from 0.1 -> 0.15 (Vanilla is 0.2)
- Loop Boss Armor
  - Increased from 40 -> 50
  - Now applies to all Champion enemies, instead of just Teleporter Bosses.
  Applies to all Champion enemies now because they all die before they even get a chance to fire off their attacks. The armor bonus alone isn't enough to let bosses keep up while looping. Look at making Elite bosses appear as TP bosses earlier?
Gold Scaling
- Now enabled by default.
- Merged all config options into a single option.
- Scale Gold to Initial Stage Difficulty
  - Reverted 0.8.0 change
    - Now only multiplies by Ratio instead of Ratio^2 since it had too much impact earlygame.
Generally, the new scaling should keep the first few stages feeling roughly the same, while Stage 5+ will require a bit more farming than Vanilla instead of being able to instabuy the whole stage. Feedback will be helpful for fine tuning this.
Shrine of Combat Items
- Shortened text.
Enemies
- Fall Damage
  - Monsters can now die from fall damage.
  - Monsters take +50% extra damage from fall damage.
  - Mithrix is now immune to fall damage.
- Xi Construct
  - Now takes +50% more damage while its chassis is open (firing its laser).
  Need to figure out how to make it less cancer for melee characters to fight later.
- Magma Worm (TODO)
  - Revert Early Access HP nerf, make the head a +50% damage weak zone for all characters?
  - Fireballs leave pools of fire?
Items
- Safer Spaces
  - Now has a 0.1s invulnerability period after triggering.
  This will make the item able to gate against multiple hits in the same frame. With the latest update, this technically allows for full invincibility at around 50 stacks, but I think it should be fine since that will only really happen in Bazaar lobbies.
- Old Guillotine
  - Increased HP threshold from 30% -> 50%
  In terms of Effective HP reduction, Guillotines were pretty lackluster compared to other Green items. This should make them less situational.
- Chronobauble
  - Increased movement slow from -60% -> -80%
  This increases the actual slowdown from -37.5% -> -44.4%, since slowdown is calculated as 1 / (1 + slow percent)
- Leeching Seed
  - Reduced healing from 5% (+2.5%) -> 3% (+1.5%)
  - Now heals a flat +1HP on top of the damage-scaled healing.
    - Flat HP is meant for earlygame when your damage will be low.
  Past Lv20, Seeds were outperforming fullcrit Harvester Scythes on most attacks. This lower number should make it so that at full crit, Scythes outperform Seeds for weak attacks while Seeds will outperform Scythes for strong attacks. Need to see how this plays and adjust further, and need to see how this affects earlygame.
