Features
Gold Bonus

- 1.3 for Common Variants
- 1.6 for Uncommon Variants
- 2.0 for Rare Variants

Item Drops
Each time you kill a Variant, there's a small chance for it to drop an Item which's tier can be White, Green or Red.
Chances are highly configurable, and each Tier has it's own chances, by default, Common tier variants can only drop white items, while a rare variant might give you a red item if you're lucky enough! (Note: not actually affected by the Luck stat)
The default values for the Item drops are right below (It is recommended to check out the "Configuring the Mod" section for an explanation of how the Item drop mechanic works.
Common Variants:
- 3% for a White item
- 0% for a Green item
- 0% for a Red item
Uncommon Variants:
- 5% for a White item
- 1% for a Green item
- 0% for a Red Item
Rare Variants:
- 10% for a White Item
- 5% for a Green Item
- 1% for a Red Item
In the case the variant is fought inside a hidden realm, a special config entry exists to determine how the mod calculates the chances for an item drop. these settings are used so players dont spend time in hidden realms farming for items.
The Settings are:
Unchanged: No changes are made, numbers above stay the same.
Halved: When the variant dies, there's a 50% Chance the mod will roll the dice to determine wether or not an item spawns.
Never: Variants never drop items in hidden realms.
New Variants
Steel Contraption

Version 1.2.0 introduces new Variants to the game designed by Nebby.
The end goal is to have at least one variant per type of enemy.

If you don't want any new variants, you can also disable the entire section in the config file.

Other Variants
A new adition from update 1.3.0, Other variants include a list of potentially helpful Creature variants.
Currently only adds variants for 2 Creatures, the Beetleguards from the Queen's Gland item (Taken directly from Rob's Original mod) & the Squid Turrets from the Squid Polyp
All of these variants can be toggled OFF with a simple boolean switch, found at the top of the "5 - Other Variants" Category in the Config File.
If you wish to disable specific variants, just like regular variants, their spawn chances can be set to 0 to disable them from spawning.
While these might sound like they'll give you the advantage in combat, keep in mind that these variants are not Team dependant, so enemies like KipKip the Gentle can spawn with Beetle Guard Variants!
Beetle Guard Brute - QueensGland (Beetle Guard)(25% chance)
- 110% Size
- 200% Health
- 50% Movement speed
- 90% Attack speed

Configuring the Mod.
This section is for explaining how the Item drop chance mechanic works, since it's not based off the normal % chance ROR2 has.
- The Chance is determined via first rolling a D100, the result of this roll is a Float (a number with decimals).
- It then begins checking if the result from the D100 is LOWER than the reward, in the example below, if the D100 rolled a 1 or lower, then the monster will drop a Red item.
- It First checks for the Red chance, then the Green Chance and then the White chance, so, for example, if the D100 rolled a number that's greater than 6 but less than 10, then it will only drop a white item.
Installation
To install the addon, simply drag the MonsterVariantsPlus.dll onto your plugins folder. Make sure Rob's DLL is also there, or else the plugin will not activate.
Future Plans
- Have Boss variants drop their Boss item based off Chance.
- Create actually pleasing to the eyes textures for the variants instead of the awful look of some of them cough cough Alpha Bison cough cough
- Wait for Rob to implement DeathState replacers to replace the Wisp Amalgamate's death behavior instead of using a hook, which would increase performance overall.
- Make some wizardry to improve the Wisp Amalgamate's Death explosion & it's light emmiting properties so they arent green.
