AurelionRebalance

A mod to rebalance Aurelionsol and True Cosmic Dragon by reducing the effects of stardust. This does not contain any assets or modify either mods. This mod is fully AI-Generated, meant to be part of a private modpack. There is no plan for bugfix or update in the future.

What it changes

Stardust passive

Replaces True Cosmic Dragon's Stardust stat handler with one whose every per-stack value is a config float:

• Stardust stat scaling removed
• Stardust only increases Health stat by default from True Cosmic Dragon.

Skill effect radius

• Base impact radius of Falling Star and The Skies Descend is increased by 30%.
• Radius increased by stardust is halved. A stardust cap for Singularity at 300 in which additional
• stack does not increase Singularity. The radius increase by stardust for Falling Star and
• The Skies Descend is reduced by 50% past the 300 stardust cap.

Skills

The Skies Descend shockwave (the second, larger AoE)

• +200% area.
• Damage Reduced to 800%. Its proc coefficient stays 0.

Falling Star Skies Descend flash Reduced

Other Stardust scaling

• The Skies Descend shockwave's flat per-Stardust-stack damage bonus reduced.
• Breath of Light burst's damage increase from Stardust is reduced.
• Solar Flare attack speed bonus from Stardust is reduced.

Starsurge & Comet of Legend

• Starsurge blast radius grows 30% faster on its own.
• Reduce Starsurge growth rate with Comet of Legend.
• Reduce Starsurge blast radius damage scaling.
• Slightly increase Max distance of starsurge before it is considered too far.
• Comet of Legend moves 50% faster.
• Receive 80% less damage while dashing with Comet of Legend.

Changelog

1.5.3

• FallingStarDamageCoefficient default 7 -> 10 (700% -> 1000% impact damage). Existing .cfg files keep their value.

1.5.2

• Fix: skill descriptions now actually override. The rewrite used LanguageAPI.Add, which only fills a token that isn't already registered - so it silently did nothing against AurelionSol's own strings. Switched to LanguageAPI.AddOverlay (highest-priority table). Falling Star / The Skies Descend / Singularity / Starsurge / Comet of Legend tooltips now reflect the config.

1.5.1

• Section 9 code defaults synced to tuned values: StarsurgeBaseDamageCoefficient 5, StarsurgeGrowthPerSecond 3.5, StarsurgeBlastRadiusDamageMultiplier 0.65, StarsurgeMaxDistance 18, CometSpeedMultiplier 1.6, CometDamageReduction 0.8. (Existing .cfg files keep their own values.)
• Skill descriptions rewritten to hug the original AurelionSol wording, with the live config numbers swapped in: Starsurge (leash distance, base %, distance-scaling %), Comet of Legend (speed x, dash damage reduction, carried-star growth %), proc coefficients shown on Falling Star AND The Skies Descend, and "the black hole's size ... caps at N stardust" on Singularity.

1.5.0

• New section 9. Starsurge & Comet of Legend — every literal is a config float:
  • StarsurgeBaseDamageCoefficient (4), StarsurgeGrowthPerSecond (3.25, stock 2.5 — the star's blast radius grows 30% faster without Comet), StarsurgeCometGrowthMultiplier (0.5 — the star grows at half rate while Comet of Legend carries it, and is reset to the base rate afterward), StarsurgeStardustDamagePerStack (0.005), StarsurgeBlastRadiusDamageMultiplier (0.5 — halves the (blastRadius)/10 detonation damage multiplier at both detonation sites), StarsurgeMaxDistance (26, stock 13 — the star drifts twice as far before auto-detonating).
  • CometSpeedMultiplier (1.5 — Comet of Legend moves 50% faster, on top of True Cosmic Dragon's flight speed setting), CometDamageReduction (0.6 — take 60% less damage while dashing).
• Code defaults synced to the tuned values: SpecialBaseRadiusMultiplier 1.3, FallingStar/ SkiesDescendCooldown 24, ShockwaveRadiusMultiplier 2.0, ShockwaveStardustDamageMultiplier 0.025, BreathOfLightBurstStardustMultiplier 0.8. (Existing .cfg files keep their own values.)
• Descriptions: The Skies Descend now shows its proc coefficient; Singularity wording clarified to "the black hole's size ... caps at N stardust"; Starsurge and Comet of Legend tooltips rewritten from the live config.

1.3.0

• 7. Impact Visuals: ImpactFlashWeight / ImpactLightMultiplier tone down the star-impact flash.

1.2.0
