Benthic Rebloomed — AI Fork
UNOFFICIAL AI-GENERATED FORK. This mod is an AI-assisted continuation of Benthic Rebloomed, originally created by braquen (John Torian). The original author did not create or endorse this fork. See Credits and AI disclosure below.
Multiplayer is UNTESTED. This version uses server-side inventory updates, but multiplayer synchronization, player-specific notifications, and enforcement of matching mod versions have not been verified. Do not consider multiplayer support confirmed.
An update of the original Benthic Bloom rework for Risk of Rain 2 v1.5.0 / Hallowed Concepts, with a cleaner options menu, an optional item blacklist and compact stage-upgrade chat summaries.
How it works
Instead of consuming items and upgrading their rarity, Benthic Bloom adds copies to existing item stacks on stage transitions. By default, each Benthic Bloom boosts 3 item stacks, adding 2 copies to each selected stack. Multiple Blooms multiply the number of boosts.
This continuation preserves the original add-to-existing-stacks concept: no new chance-based effects, bonus rolls, item tiers, or automatic item conversions have been introduced.
Important behavior note: The replacement implementation iterates inventory acquisition order rather than the original game's internal upgrade candidate list. This was observed to grant the intended bonus in a previous single-player version, but exact selection parity with the original mod is not proven.
Settings (Risk of Options)
| Category | Option | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Bloom Strength | Item stacks boosted per Bloom | 3 |
| Bloom Strength | Copies added to each stack | 2 |
| Item Rules | Boost Lunar items | Off |
| Item Rules | Boost Benthic Bloom itself | Off |
| Item Rules | Item blacklist | Empty |
| Notifications | Show upgrades in chat | On |
Blacklist: Enter comma-separated names or internal item IDs, such as Crowbar, Soldier's Syringe, CloverVoid. Names are case-insensitive, and punctuation and spaces are ignored. For consistent results across languages, internal item IDs are recommended. The blacklist excludes those items from this mod's bonus only; it does not remove them from the game or change ordinary item spawning.
Vanilla fallback: Setting either upgrade quantity to 0 delegates Benthic Bloom behavior to the game. To disable the rework without removing the mod, use either quantity setting.
In-game notifications and history
When enabled, a single chat message summarizes the stage's boosts for each upgraded player (up to four item types in chat; complete details in the host log). The server also writes history to:
BepInEx/config/BenthicRebloomed-history.log
The log is a file, not an in-game history browser.
Compatibility and known limitations
- Game: built against the user's Risk of Rain 2 v1.5.0 assemblies. The earlier fork version 1.1.3 loaded and upgraded stacks in a single-player log. Gameplay testing for this 1.2.0 release must be completed before publication.
- Multiplayer: not tested. The intended model is host/server-authoritative, but there is no claim of validated multiplayer synchronization. Use the same version on every player if you choose to experiment, and treat the host's configuration as authoritative.
- Mod conflicts: Other mods that change
CharacterMaster.TryCloverVoidUpgradesmay conflict with this replacement hook. - Co-installation: This fork intentionally uses the original plugin ID (
Braquen.Benthic_Rebloomed) to preserve existing configuration. Disable or uninstall the original Benthic Rebloomed before enabling this fork. Never load both DLLs. - Requirements: Risk of Options, R2API Core + Language, HookGenPatcher, and RoR2BepInExPack (automatically installed from the manifest).
- DLC: The original item is part of Survivors of the Void.
