Mod Overview

ArtificerExtended introduces a handful of new skills for Artificer with the intention of adding new, varied gameplay styles in creative ways. Introduces 13 new abilities, all arranged in a satisfying DIAGONAL pattern!

BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS AND REWORKS

Ion Surge Rework

Ion Surge has been reworked to be better-suited to ArtificerExtended's many new playstyles:

Now, you briefly prepare a powerful dash, soaring through the air and zapping nearby enemies. When you inevitably land, your impact will create a powerful Stunning explosion!

ArtificerExtended contains numerous replacement abilities intended to suit all playstyles. For those who miss Artificer's style of orbital bombardment, there are plenty of new and exciting options!

Known Issues

  • None! The mod is perfect..?

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
