Stack Fix

Makes some items have a better initial effect + stacking behavior.

It's server-side, and everyone needs the mod. The default values are what I personally use and should be a good starting point for balancing.

Features

• Faraday Spur: reduced initial movement speed and jump height gains (configurable), as well as initial and per-stack explosion damage (configurable). Movement speed and jump height gains now scale linearly per stack (configurable).
• Networked Suffering: reduced initial maximum spread count and damage (configurable).
• There's more planned, but that's it for now...

Configuration

General

Name	Type	Default	Vanilla	Description

Item: Faraday Spur

Name	Type	Default	Vanilla	Description
Base Movement Speed	Percent	70%	160%	Initial movement speed gains at max charge.
Movement Speed per Stack	Percent	+30%	+0%	Movement speed gains per stack (linear) at max charge.
Base Jump Height	Percent	80%	200%	Initial jump height gains at max charge.
Jump Height per Stack	Percent	+40%	+0%	Jump height gains per stack (linear) at max charge.
Base Damage	Percent	300%	400%	Initial discharge explosion damage.
Damage per Stack	Percent	+200%	+280%	Discharge explosion damage per stack (linear).

With default settings, Faraday Spur reaches the vanilla speed/jump gains at 4 stacks.

I have wondered for quite a bit if perhaps the first stack feels somewhat underwhelming now, but this should really incentivize printing and actually stacking the item instead of giving you a free win after picking it up once.

Item: Networked Suffering

Name	Type	Default	Vanilla	Description
Base Virus Spread	Integer	3	4	Initial maximum number of infected enemies.
Virus Spread per Stack	Integer	+2	+2	Maximum number of infected enemies per stack (linear).
Base Damage	Percent	35%	45%	Initial virus damage duplication.
Damage per Stack	Percent	+1%	+0%	Virus damage duplication per stack (linear).

The initial virus damage duplication needed a small nerf for a long time. I also went aheand and reduced the maximum spread by 1 on the first stack.

With default settings, you can actually stack the damage duplication, but need TEN STACKS of the thing to reach the vanilla value. It isn't really a small effect, though. Every 1% is impactful and the default spread per stack of 2 also contributes to the total damage. In fact, I'd say you should consider lowering the damage per stack to +0% (disable stacking). Still, I personally like +1~5% per stack as it's a red item.

Compatibility notes

I don't knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww but if any single item breaks because of another mod or something, you can disable the individual fix.

Nerd

I've never really worked with IL Hooks nor overriden any item behavior before, and as of writing this, I haven't tested the thing in multiplayer, but I can at least confirm it works perfectly in singleplayer.
