True Cosmic Dragon

Helper BepInEx add-on for DragonycksModdingComms-AurelionSol 2.0.10.

This is not a replacement for AurelionSol and does not include AurelionSol files or assets. Install it alongside the official AurelionSol package.

It applies two runtime upgrades.

It also fixes AurelionSol's Singularity skill so Backup Magazine can add extra secondary charges to it.

Flight tuning can be changed through the generated BepInEx configuration file:

BepInEx/config/com.phong.aurelionsol.truecosmicdragon.cfg

The [Flight] settings are:

CometSpeedMultiplier = 5
CometStardustDurationPerStack = 0.005
DragonflightSpeedMultiplier = 5
DragonflightStardustDurationPerStack = 0.005

Restart the game after changing the file. The speed multiplier is applied to the existing flight movement calculation. The duration settings replace the original per-Stardust duration factor for each utility variant.

Center of the Universe replaces the original fixed three-star controller at runtime with a dynamic controller:

• levels 1-6: 3 stars
• levels 7-13: 4 stars
• levels 14-20: 5 stars
• levels 21+: 6 stars

Each active star has its own runtime visual, hitbox group, and OverlapAttack.

Preserved behavior:

• Alt toggles close/expanded radius through AurelionSol's original networked toggle.
• close radius uses proc coefficient 0.8
• expanded radius uses proc coefficient 0.5
• star rotation follows attack speed
• the star root keeps following Aurelion Sol through the original attachment component

Stardust adds stat scaling when Aurelion has Stardust stacks:

• health: +10% per stack
• regen: +5% per stack
• damage: +2% per stack
• move speed: +1% per stack
• attack speed: +0.2% per stack
• crit chance: +0.5 per stack
• armor: logarithmic bonus matching the local Stardust patch
• acceleration: +1% per stack
• sprint multiplier is set to 1.45 while Stardust is active

The add-on supports only the official AurelionSol 2.0.10 Aurelion.dll with SHA-256:

AFF000FE56C6451396A5B472C2AED0F8C09ADA09E17AC5DA49C2DC896BEF08EF

If the installed Aurelion.dll hash does not match, the add-on stops and logs a clear error instead of patching an unknown version.

Tested locally:

• solo run
• level 21+ gives 6 stars
• Alt changes close/expanded radius state
• Stardust stat scaling works with the Stardust passive

Not yet claimed:

• multiplayer support beyond the declared strict dependency requirement
• compatibility with AurelionSol versions other than 2.0.10

Package contents should include only:

• manifest.json
• README.md
• CHANGELOG.md
• icon.png
• True_Cosmic_Dragon/TrueCosmicDragon.dll

Do not package Aurelion.dll, AurelionSol assets, game assemblies, BepInEx/R2API assemblies, mod-manager profiles, logs, or build output.

Changelog

0.2.0

• Bug fixes for flying coeffs

0.1.9

• Allows Singularity to store extra secondary charges from Backup Magazine.

0.1.8

• Aligns the plugin and build version with the 0.1.8 package manifest.

0.1.7

• Change README.md and icon.png

0.1.6

• Bumps the Thunderstore and plugin version after the 0.1.5 package identity already existed.

• Logs the plugin version on load.
• Skips Center-star installation cleanly when the Stardust passive is selected.

0.1.2
