Artifact of Pandemonium

Adds a new artifact: Artifact of Pandemonium.

When enabled, at the start of each run:

• Randomly enables a number of your other unlocked artifacts, regardless of their selected state in the lobby.
  • Artifact of Sacrifice is never selected and is always forced off.
  • The first 2 artifacts chosen (after shuffling) are always enabled.
  • Every other artifact starts with a 35% chance to be enabled — each successful enable halves the chance for the next one, so the chaos tapers off the more artifacts are already active.
• Grants all players Petrichor V's Blessing — a set of three random bonuses that changes every stage:
  • Each stage, 3 of the 4 possible buffs are active: move speed, attack speed, gold earned, and chest spawns.
  • The magnitude of each buff is randomized within a range.
  • The more artifacts you have unlocked, the stronger the blessing becomes.
  • Active buffs are announced in chat at the start of each stage.

Warning: if you have fewer than 2 other artifacts unlocked, Pandemonium has nothing to work with — enemy level scaling is forced to its maximum immediately. Unlock more artifacts first.

Compatibility

Works in multiplayer. Artifact randomization and blessing values are computed server-side and announced to all players via chat.

Got an idea to help make this better (or maybe some new mods in the future)? Reach out on X @SomeTroubadour or find me on Discord as troubadour1.

1.1.0 — "Stoned on a Sunday"

"Stoned on a Sunday" sounds more like a song title than a version number — and honestly, that felt right. This is the first update to my first mod, put together on a lazy afternoon with a little help from an AI co-developer who turned out to have surprisingly strong opinions about event subscription ordering. The Blessing is more chaotic now. Enjoy the pandemonium.

• Petrichor V's Blessing now randomly selects 3 of 4 possible buffs each stage (move speed, attack speed, gold, chests), each with a randomized magnitude
• Added attack speed as a fourth blessing buff type
• Blessing composition and values are seeded per-stage so all co-op clients see the same roll
• Active blessing buffs are announced in chat at the start of each stage
• Fixed: stat bonuses from the blessing were applied before the onRecalculateStats handler was subscribed, potentially missing the first recalc on body spawn
• Fixed: gold bonus no longer applies to non-player masters (e.g. enemies with Empathy Cores)
• Fixed: IsBlessingActive() now guards against Run.instance being null between runs

1.0.0
