Tinker's Satchel

SUPPORT DISCLAIMER

Use of a mod manager is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

Seriously, use a mod manager.

If the versions of Tinker's Satchel or TILER2 (or possibly any other mods) are different between your game and other players' in multiplayer, things WILL break. If TILER2 is causing kicks for "unspecified reason", it's likely due to a mod version mismatch. Ensure that all players in a server, including the host and/or dedicated server, are using the same mod versions before reporting a bug.

While reporting a bug, make sure to post a console log (path/to/RoR2/BepInEx/LogOutput.log) from a run of the game where the bug happened; this often provides important information about why the bug is happening. If the bug is multiplayer-only, please try to include logs from both server and client.

Issues/TODO

• Items have no DisplayRules.
• Most items need some effects & model polish in general.
  • Broken drones are missing smoke/sparks effects.
• Some class-specific item behaviors on Go-Faster Stripes are missing or placeholders.
• Mimic usually displays a count of 0 in chat pickup announcements; might also not count towards logbook stat tracker.
• See the GitHub repo for more!

Changelog

The 5 latest updates are listed below. For a full changelog, see: https://github.com/ThinkInvis/RoR2-TinkersSatchel/blob/master/changelog.md

1.14.1

• Balance pass.
  • Commando: Jink Jet:
    • Allowed slightly more vertical component to jump trajectory (0.125 --> 0.15).
    • Increased forced vertical component used while grounded (0.25 --> 0.3).
  • Commando: Plasma Grenade:
    • Buffed cooldown to match Frag Grenade (8s --> 6s).
    • Homing now has a brief arming delay (0.5s) to prevent nearby enemies from intercepting throws. Direct impacts will still stick.
  • Macho Moustache:
    • Nerfed default elite stacking bonus from +2 to +1.
    • Nerfed default champion stacking bonus from +4 to +2.
    • This item was performing too well in lategame; the unlock achievement was also far easier to trigger than intended.
• Fixed Quantum Recombobulator not checking its valid object name list while selecting an object to recombobulate into.
  • The barrels have been banished for good this time. Definitely.
  • In an extreme edge case (no spawncards available at all), this could also have led to a vanishing object or an exception. Equipment should now fail to activate, as intended, in this case.
• Fixed Commando: Plasma Grenade potentially slowing to a crawl during homing.
• Slightly improved Commando: Plasma Grenade VFX/SFX:
  • Fuse ray effects are slightly thinner and no longer disconnected from the model.
  • Made sound effect tempo slower to make it more distinct from Sticky Bomb.
• Sturdy Mug can no longer cause multiple Goobos Jr. to spawn per equipment cast.
• Quantum Recombobulator no longer adds the Cardboard Box player data storage component on equip (had no player-facing effect other than an infinitesimal amount of performance loss).

1.14.0 The Skillful Update, Part Commando

• ADDED SKILL VARIANTS:
  • Commando: Pulse, Jink Jet, and Plasma Grenade!
• Changed Taunt debuff icon to a slightly more fitting vanilla one.
• Fixed Taunt keyword token not resolving.
• General behind-the-scenes cleanup and Visual Studio Intellisense message resolution.

1.13.2

• Balance pass.
  • Shrink Ray no longer procs on self damage.
    • This was unintentional, but can be considered a balance change as some base game items proc on self damage.
  • Partially reworked Hydroponic Cell's mechanics to be simpler.
    • While it provided some flavor, the 'nutrients' buff stage gained by taking damage was redundant, and provided a balance lever that was also redundant. This has been removed and reduced to the core purpose of requiring you to heal health (i.e. NOT overheal, barrier, etc.) to gain the item's benefit. Flavor has been relocated to the pickup text.
• Improved descriptions of Hydroponic Cell, Engineer: Smart Flak, and Engineer: Decoy Chaff.
• Clarified Macho Moustache config descriptions.
• Fixed skills appearing in the loadout menu while disabled.
• Command Terminal now exposes its list of summonable drones to config.
• Added extra null safety to Sturdy Mug.
  • Specifically, affected projectiles should no longer cause further errors if something causes the networked prefab list to desync in multiplayer.

1.13.1

• Balance pass.
  • RC Controller: buffed default attack speed bonus (25% → 40%).
  • Engineer: Speed Dispenser:
    • Now provides a 25% jump height bonus.
    • Now holds 4 charges (up from 3).
    • Charges now recharge in 7.5 seconds (up from 10).
  • Engineer: Chaff:
    • Now deals 4x75% damage with 0.5 proc coefficient (was 1x200% damage with 1 proc coefficient).
    • Will cleanse projectiles and taunt enemies with every hit, making it slightly easier to time.
• Engineer: Chaff: Renamed to Decoy Chaff for clarity.
• Engineer: Speed Dispenser fixes:
  • Fixed not being set to player team.
  • Now has its own deployable slot so mods that tweak the max shield count won't affect it.

1.13.0 The Skillful Update, Part Engineer

• ADDED SKILL VARIANTS:
  • Engineer: Smart Flak, Chaff, Speed Dispenser!
• Bulwark Drone now uses the same Taunt debuff added by Chaff (will now apply a damage debuff vs non-Taunters and allow attacking any Taunter).
• Updated an older language token name format on Silver Compass (all instances of "TINKSATCH" → "TKSAT").
• Fixed Percussive Maintenance not working if used by multiplayer clients.
• Fixed some Mostly-Tame Mimic NREs during object creation/destruction.
• Due to limitations on the length of Thunderstore readme pages, long descriptions and notes have been cut from this page's content summary. Added a link to a separate full version, similarly to the changelog link.
