Source code
This is the core mod which provides shared functionality required by other DaLion mods.
By itself, this mod carries the following non-controversial features:
- Improved Hoppers: Adds the ability for Hoppers to pull items back out from machines, allowing them to fully automate a single machine at a time and transforming them from completely useless into a more balanced version of Automate.
- Colored Slime Balls: Causes Slime Balls to take on the color of the Slimes which produced them, and adds regular color-based Slime drops to Slime Ball loot tables.
The following optional features are also included:
- Witherable Crops: Crops may wither if left un-watered. This is disabled by default.
- Rational Damage Mitigation Formula: Replaces the linear vanilla defense formula with a rational formula. This allows a single point of defense to be consistently useful at any damage range, instead of falling off in the mid/late game. This also enables fractional defense, which is required by mods like Mineracoustics.
damage -= defenseNew formula:
damage *= 10 / (10 + defense)Status Effects
Taking inspiration from classic game tropes, this mod adds a framework for causing various status conditions to enemies. These effects will be used by the various DaLion mods, and can also be used by any C# mod which consumes the provided API.
- Bleeding: Causes damage every second. Damage increases exponentially with each additional stack. Stacks up to 5x. Does not affect Ghosts, Skeletons, Golems, Dolls or Mechanical enemies (i.e., Dwarven Sentry).
- Blinded: Causes enemies to lose track of their target and miss attacks. Does not affect Bats or Duggys.
- Burning: Causes damage equal to 1/16th of max health every 3 seconds, and reduces attack by half. Also causes enemies to move about more randomly. Does not affect fire enemies (i.e., Lava Lurks, Magma Sprites and Magma Sparkers). Insects burn 4x as quickly.
- Chilled: Reduces speed for the duration. If Chilled is inflicted again during this time, the target may be Frozen for three times the duration. Does not affect Ghosts or Skeleton Mage.
- Frozen: Cannot move or attack. The next hit during the duration deals double damage and ends the effect.
- Poisoned: Causes damage equal to 1/16 of max health every 3s, stacking up to 3×. If enough stacks are applied the target may suffer instant death. Does not affect Ghosts or Skeletons.
- Slowed: Reduces speed (movement and action) for the duration.
- Stunned: Cannot move or attack for the duration.
Consistent Farmer Debuffs
This setting will optionally modify the Burnt and Frozen debuff on the player to be consistent with the player-inflicted debuffs above.
It also modifies Jinxed and Weakness to work better with the overall balance intended by DaLion mod series:
- Jinxed: Reduces player defense by 50% and prevents use of weapon special moves for the duration.
-
WeaknessDisoriented: Lose control of movement (movement directions are inverted).
