UpgradeDraft

UpgradeDraft changes the ROUNDS card draft flow into a consistent 4-card pool, introduces upgrade cards based on the choosing player's current deck, and adds a 5th action card for skip/reroll.

AI Disclosure

This mod was created with AI assistance. Code, packaging, and documentation should be treated as community/experimental work and tested carefully before use in important modpacks.

Draft Composition

Each pick phase rolls one 4-card draft composition:

• 25%: 0 upgrades + 4 new cards
• 50%: 1 upgrade + 3 new cards
• 20%: 2 upgrades + 2 new cards
• 5%: 3 upgrades + 1 new card

If a chosen upgrade count is not possible, it is clamped and remaining slots are filled with new cards.

A 5th selectable action card is added beside the 4 draft cards:

• SKIP: pass the current card choice and gain 1 skip point.
• REROLL: appears when the player has enough skip points, consumes them, and redraws the current choice.

Upgrade Rules

• Upgrade cards are selected only from cards the picker already owns.
• Cards with allowMultiple == false are never eligible upgrades.
• New cards are selected only from cards the picker does not own.
• The visible pool avoids duplicate entries whenever possible.

Visual Marking

Upgrade cards are visually labeled:

• Title prefix: UPGRADE:
• Marker label: UPGRADE
• Owned count line: Owned: X -> Y
• Optional conservative stacked stat preview

Skip Points and Reroll

• During card choice, an UD panel appears on the left side of the screen.
• The panel shows current skip points and whether the 5th card is SKIP or REROLL.
• The action is picked by selecting the 5th card, not by pressing a separate button.

Multiplayer

• Use identical mod versions and configs across all players.
• Host-authoritative card set generation is used where available.
• Mods that also modify card choice count/spawn logic may conflict.

Compatibility Notes

Potential conflicts can occur with mods that:

• Change card choice count
• Replace CardChoice.SpawnUniqueCard
• Rewrite card UI objects during card pick

This mod is designed to coexist with CardChoiceSpawnUniqueCardPatch, but large gameplay overhauls should still be tested in a full lobby.
