CardCraft

CardCraft adds a crafting phase to ROUNDS at PickStart, before the normal card-pick choices.

Features

• Runs CardCraft at PickStart.
• Supports additional pick phases without hardcoding a fixed number of picks.
• Shows craftable recipes based on cards owned by the player.
• Uses a validated static recipe database.
• Host-authoritative multiplayer crafting.
• Revalidates the recipe immediately before crafting.
• Removes ingredients atomically and adds the crafted result.
• Prevents duplicate results within a single Craft Pick.
• Includes a text-only recipe browser.
• Optional runtime recipe supplement for cards missing from the embedded database.
• Optional Classes Manager Reborn integration.
• Curses and obvious junk/test cards are excluded.

Installation

Install CardCraft through Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman.

CardCraft requires:

• UnboundLib 3.2.14 or compatible version.

Usage

CardCraft runs automatically during the card-pick sequence.

The recipe browser can be opened with F2.

Multiplayer

CardCraft uses host-authoritative validation for crafting decisions.

All players should use the same CardCraft version.

Configuration

CardCraft creates:

BepInEx/config/CardCraft.cfg

Additional configuration files may be created under:

BepInEx/config/CardCraft/

Compatibility

Optional integrations include:

• Classes Manager Reborn
• ModdingUtils
• WillsWackyManagers
• Pick N Cards
• PickPhaseImprovements
• MorePicksPatch
• Rounds With Friends
• Rounds With Bots

These are not required dependencies.

Known limitations

CardCraft has been tested with the listed supported configurations, but compatibility with every combination of ROUNDS mods cannot be guaranteed.

CardCraft Changelog

1.0.516 — Thunderstore release

• Expanded the embedded static recipe database to 10,000 recipes.
• Prioritized CardCraft-exclusive results while building the static recipe pool.
• Added two deterministic recipe opportunities per eligible result where recipe guards allow them, then filled the remaining database with additional valid recipes.
• Removed recipe entries containing (Clone).
• Disabled runtime/dynamic recipe synthesis for the release build.
• Reduced hot-path informational logging compared with diagnostic transaction builds.
• Kept CardCraft on PickStart, before the normal card-pick phase.
• Kept host-authoritative multiplayer validation and transaction handling.

1.0.5.14

• Remote accepted Craft decisions wait for an explicit host transaction result before releasing that player's local PickStart flow.
