Ephemeral Coins

This mod aims to rebalance the Lunar Coin mechanic as a temporary currency, rather than a farmable one, in the hopes of improving not only the balance, but also the general satisfaction involved in acquiring Lunar Coins.

All changes are configurable!

• All Lunar Coins are removed upon starting a run. The amount removed is displayed in chat. [^1]
• Awards an amount of Lunar Coins to all players after removing all previous coins (default 0).
• Lunar Coins drop rate changed to 5% / 0.9 falloff / 0.5% min chance.
• Lunar Pods made free of cost.
• The Frog made free of cost, and you only have to pet it once.
• Bazaar Between Time Lunar Buds cost lowered to 1 coin, and refresh when the Slab (Lunar Reroller) is used, even if already purchased.
• Bazaar Between Time Lunar Seer cost lowered to 1 coin.
• Bazaar Between Time Slab (Lunar Reroller) made free of cost. Can only be used once.
• The chance for a Blue Orb to appear on stage start flattened to 37.5%, instead of decreasing for each visit to BBT.
• Compatible with ProperSave!

[^1]: For players who wish to restore their Lunar Coins, it is easily done through editing the "<coins>" tag in the save profile.

You can reach me (Varna) in the RoR2 modding discord with any feedback!

Known Issues

• Occasionally, players in a multiplayer lobby do not appear to lose their coins client-side, despite the message in chat. The server still treats them as having 0 coins, however. (possibly ping related, unsure at this time)

Todo (maybe)

• Refactoring old hook-based code with prettier prefab-modification code.
• Add Newt Altars to the controllable settings.
• Brainstorming on what to do with Lunar Coins received from obliterating/beating the game.

Magnus - For the original code this was forked from. Not only was it an excellent starting point, it helped me learn a lot too!

RoR2 modding discord - For help in figuring out the Slab (Lunar Reroller)'s horrible, horrible internal structure, and just being awesome in general!
