The Artifacts Of Doom

Adds 6 customizable artifacts to traumatize your friends with.

Artifacts Added

Artifact Of War 

• Time Increase = ++Spawn Rates, +++Difficulty
  (swarm effect +1 every 5 minutes, max 5), Spawnrate Cap = 250
• Stage Increase = ++Monster Evolution +++ Item Droprate
  Items are exponentially given to monsters, items dropped are automatically given to the player, with a chat notification.
• This artifact generally creates a harder version of the game.
  Consider rainstorm to be monsoon difficulty, monsoon is just terrifying, drizzle == ??

Artifact Of Entropy 

• Various actions in-game are randomly given effects from a large pool of outcomes ranging from being a godsend to single handedly destroying everyone you love.
• These outcomes have a randomly defined chance to occur, from 0-100%.
• Discovering what actions do what, adapting, and dealing with mental health trauma is vital to your survival. Will you master the chaos? Or die trying...
• Current Amount of possible outcomes to experience: 80
• Current Amount of possible actions that cause outcomes: 23

Artifact Of Unity 

• All items are shared among players, but enemies are much stronger.

Artifact Of The Titans 

• Enemy size scales according to their credit cost, and elites are scaled even more brutally.
• Teleporter Boss Scales multiplicatively with stage (max 10 stages)

Artifact of Smash 

• Enemies and Survivors are knocked back in proportion to their remaining health and damage dealt.
• Impacts on surfaces deal damage to all entities.
• Prepare to SMASH, or be SMASHED!

Artifact of Reconstruction 

• Play as any monster in the game, with any base stats of your choosing.
• You can open the ui for selecting your monster in-game through a keybind (default: F2)
• Perfect for mithrix gamers like myself.

New artifacts and updates to current ones are in development. I am open to any feedback and/or requests for new features on the RoR2 discord @bcs4313, or through my email at [email protected]. Also I would love to watch you play it (yes I am a sadist)!

A metric ton of bugfix/tuning/quality of life updates.

* Some triggers in artifact of entropy are limited in events due to their inability to supply a player body, however, a workaround was made and now they can activate any event.
* Triggers affected -> Teleporter, CoinBarrel, Item Drop
* Some triggers strictly targeted the server host, even when a client player would do an action. This is no longer an issue.

* Fixed a ton of null exceptions everywhere.
* Fixed a bug where events that played sounds to all players would bug out if the host is dead and the client is not.
