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 20% of the equipment cooldown of each additional effect activated. Configurable.

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.

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.
