SwitchChaosAndGesture

Bottled Chaos and Gesture of the Drowned switch item tiers.

Bottled Chaos' random nature and Gesture of the Drowned's ineffective drawback make the items feel misclassified. With a few behavioral tweaks they can truly be Lunar and Legendary items respectively.

Features

Bottled Chaos

• Add 50% of the equipment cooldown of each additional effect activated.

Gesture of the Drowned

• Config option to prevent it from automatically activating certain equipment.
  • Enabled by default for Recycler, The Crowdfunder, Trophy Hunter's Tricorn, and Volcanic Egg.
• Config option to remove Gesture of the Drowned from the item pool if playing with the item is not your preference.
• Config option to AI blacklist the item as Scavengers can be more dangerous.

Models

The sprites and models have been changed to better reflect their respective item tiers. Any help to make the sprites cleaner or better would be appreciated.

• Update for Alloyed Collective.

1.2.0

• Added Risk of Options compatibility.
• Added config for Gesture's cooldown stacking value.

1.1.0

• Nerfed Bottled Chaos cooldown penalty: 50% -> 20%

  Developer notes: The average cooldown of all possible equipment activated by this item is approximately 54 seconds. This means the player trades an extra 27 seconds of cooldown for a randomly activated effect, which does not seem to be a valuable trade. The penalty was originally set to 50% because with a few stacks of Fuel Cells it would already be greatly diminished. However, similar to the extra cooldown argument, such a high value effectively lessened the rate of the benefit the player gained with additional Fuel Cell stacks. Credits to @cbhv4321 for his valuable feedback and suggestions.

• Converted the Bottled Chaos penalty value to a config entry.

• Fixed a bug where The Crowdfunder would not be correctly blacklisted from autocasting.

1.0.0

• Release
