BugArtifacts

Currently adds 3 new artifacts aiming to change gameplay; Knowledge, Pestilence, and Violence. Probably multiplayer compatible.

Knowledge: All natural item spawns are replaced with "Inscription" items of corresponding tiers. Each Inscription grants a % of your current level's exp. Leveling up grants a completely random item. (Yes, this includes items you can't get in most normal runs and modded items with :toggle_loot set as false! Have fun :)) (also has a special interaction with Artifact of Command)

Pestilence: Using any interactable has a 45% chance to spawn a swarm of Archerbugs, similar to interacting with the corpse of The Bloated Survivor. Killing enemies additionally has a 20% chance to spawn Archerbugs.

Violence: Actor deaths enrage nearby actors (includes players and allies), granting a stacking buff boosting damage and attack speed by 10% each stack. While actors are enraged, they can't take knockback, be stunned, or die.

Includes custom Knowledge interactions with other mods!

• PrintNScrap
• more to come !!
