Steady Growth Perfect

Extends Demeter's Steady Growth boon to upgrade boons to Perfect rarity!

What This Mod Does

Demeter's Steady Growth boon normally upgrades your boons by one rarity tier after clearing enough encounters:

• Common → Rare → Epic → Heroic

But it stops at Heroic. This mod extends it to:

• Common → Rare → Epic → Heroic → Perfect!

When Steady Growth is at Perfect rarity itself, it will trigger every single room, making it incredibly powerful for maxing out your build.

Features

• ✅ Extends Steady Growth's upgrade path to include Perfect rarity
• ✅ Works seamlessly with the game's existing upgrade logic
• ✅ Automatically excludes Legendary, Duo, and Infusion boons from upgrades (preserves their special rarity)
• ✅ Compatible with rerolls and all game scenarios
• ✅ User-configurable via config.lua
• ✅ Hot-reloadable (changes take effect without restarting game)

How It Works

Technical Details

The mod makes three key modifications to the game:

1. Extends RarityUpgradeOrder

   • Adds "Perfect" to the end of the upgrade sequence
   • This tells GetUpgradedRarity() that Heroic can upgrade to Perfect

2. Adds Perfect Rarity Level to BoonGrowthBoon

   • Defines Perfect rarity with Multiplier = 1/6
   • At Perfect rarity, Steady Growth triggers every 1 room (insanely strong!)

3. Wraps AddRarityToTraits Function

   • Automatically excludes Legendary, Duo, and Infusion boons from being upgraded
   • These special rarities are preserved and won't be modified by Steady Growth
   • Temporary blocking mechanism ensures compatibility with other game systems

Rarity Trigger Rates

Testing

Tested in all critical scenarios:

• ✅ Resumed runs from save
• ✅ Undo Night (the trickiest scenario!)
• ✅ With boon rerolls
• ✅ With various god combinations

Compatibility

• Compatible with keepsake mods
• Requires BoonBuddy + Perfectoinist for Perfect rarity support
• No conflicts with vanilla Steady Growth behavior

Known Issues

None! If you encounter any issues, please report them.
