VarianceAPI allows you to create Variants for CharacterBodies, Variants can have different textures, lights, skills, and more.

Preferred version: 2.2.0

Adds an artifact that emulates a genetic algorithm on monster stats.

Preferred version: 4.5.3

Basic Description

This mod adapts the stat-based learning system from GeneticArtifact to the variant selection system of VarianceAPI
This doesn't evaluate the performance of each variant, but instead suggests variants based on the stats they have
With the current math, each variant can be recommended anywhere between half and twice as often (subject to change)
Note: this mod does NOT require the Artifact of Genetics to be active to function, as it only runs IF the artifact is enabled

Each variant in VarianceAPI has 5 stat multipliers, and 4 of these match GeneticArtifacts' choices
As the genetic learning system chooses which stats to prioritize, this mod will keep track of how well those match the variants' multipliers
If it discovers a close match, that variant will have it's spawn rate increased - poor matches will have theirs reduced

This is a prototype build of this concept, so balance and polish haven't been taken care of yet
If you run into any bugs or have feedback, either reach out in the discord or contribute a issue on the github
Have a better idea for an icon? I'll gladly take it since the current one is not great
