⚔️ Your build shouldn't stop at your character

You've stacked the items. You've perfected the loadout. You've become a walking disaster for anything with a health bar.

So why should your summoned allies show up empty-handed?

Summon Snapshot brings supported summons into the action by sharing eligible parts of your build with them. Whether you're planting REX Offshoots, deploying Engineer turrets, or assembling an Operator drone squad, your allies can contribute more than just another health bar.

Build yourself up. Bring your summons with you.

✨ Supported summons

Ally	What it gains
🌱 REX Proliferation Offshoots	Eligible permanent item stacks, selected equipment, and automatic equipment activation
🔧 Engineer turrets	Selected equipment and automatic activation; item inheritance remains handled by the game or other mods
🦑 Squid Polyps	Eligible permanent items when spawned
🤖 Operator skill drones	Eligible items that update when the owner's inventory changes
🚁 Operator-purchased drones	Eligible items, including refreshes after inventory changes and scrapping
🛠️ Operator-purchased turrets	Eligible inherited items, without equipment copying
🎯 Purchased stationary Gunner Turrets	Eligible items and an optional grounded repositioning tether

Item inheritance means eligible permanent items, not every item or temporary effect. Specific behavior can depend on the other mods in your run.

🔍 See the proof — press F8

Wondering whether your Offshoot actually got that item?

Open the Summon Inventory Inspector with F8 to see the items in your summons' actual replicated inventories—not a pretend preview of the player's build.

• Inspect allied summons and their item stacks.
• Check whether inheritance and inventory changes took effect.
• Adjust the inspector's size in configuration.
• Read-only: inspecting never modifies your run.

⚙️ Make it your own

Summon Snapshot is configurable, with BepInEx settings and optional in-game integration through Risk of Options.

Feature	What you can configure
Summon support	Enable or disable supported inheritance and equipment behaviors
Safety filters	Default blacklist, custom item exclusions, and equipment safeguards
Inventory refresh	How frequently supported Operator summons check for owner inventory changes
Gunner tether	Reposition distance and check interval for eligible stationary turrets
Inspector	F8 hotkey and UI scale
Equipment checks	How frequently supported turrets check whether equipment is ready

🛡️ Designed with safety in mind

More summons and more items can mean more unexpected mod interactions. This mod includes safeguards to help keep runs playable:

• A configurable default blacklist excludes summon-producing or recursion-prone item patterns.
• Hidden items are excluded from inheritance.
• Goobo Jr. clone recursion and Tricorn activation have dedicated protections.
• Tracked inherited stacks help supported Operator summons remove inherited items after the owner scraps them.
• Inventory checks avoid unnecessary item writes when nothing has changed.

🤝 A small Discord for people who want to build

100 spots. Serious contributors only.

I'm opening only 100 places in a Discord community for people who genuinely and actively want to help improve this mod or shape what comes next.

This is not a general fan server or a place to collect members. Please join only if you're excited to contribute by testing builds, reporting reproducible bugs, exploring mod compatibility, suggesting improvements to Summon Snapshot, requesting future mods, or bringing interesting new mod ideas to the table.

Discord invite: Coming soon — limited to 100 participants.

Once the invite is available, this line will be replaced with the link. Discord invite-use limits and actual server membership are not the same thing; the 100-person limit will be managed separately.

❤️ NO DONATIONS. NO TIPS. NO MONEY.

I do not want donations, tips, paid support, or financial contributions.

If you want to support my work, help make it better. Share an idea, find a bug, test a feature, or help someone else enjoy the mod. That's the support I'm looking for.

🚀 Installation

Recommended: Install Summon Snapshot with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager and let it handle the required BepInEx dependency.

Manual: Install BepInEx, then place SummonSnapshotMod.dll inside BepInEx/plugins.

In game: Spawn a supported summon, then press F8 to inspect its inventory. Optional settings are available through Risk of Options if installed, or through the BepInEx configuration file.

⚠️ Compatibility & current limitations

This section is here because clear expectations matter.

• Multiplayer: All players should use the same version of Summon Snapshot. Every possible multiplayer/mod combination has not been verified.
• Summon limits: Experimental settings exist, but limits are not enforced in v0.3.5. The numeric cap controls have also had Risk of Options registration issues; in-game registration still needs confirmation.
• Equipment Coupler: Extra equipment slots are not supported by this build. Supported summons receive only the selected equipment slot.
• Safety filtering: Modded items with internal names matching default blacklist patterns may be excluded. Hidden items are always excluded.
• Mod interactions: Mods that also change minion inventories, equipment, or summon behavior may produce different results.
• Inventory updates: Live item-refresh behavior is implemented for supported Operator summons; other summons may use a spawn-time snapshot.

Found a conflict? That's exactly the kind of useful feedback that helps improve this project.

🐛 Bugs, feedback & ideas

A good report makes a fix much faster. Please include the summon type, what you expected, what happened instead, your relevant mod list, and your BepInEx LogOutput.log when possible.

Ideas for new features—and entirely new mods—are welcome from people who want to help turn those ideas into something worth playing.
