Consistent Stage Features
RoR2 but Noita (pipe bombs)
This mod guarantees specific interactables in various stages (like AWU) that you can take advantage of as a form of mitigating RNG using game knowledge. Every element is configurable.
Entry listed as Default Off must be turned on through config to enable., and Entry listed as Other Mod is quite literally what other mod does; It is merely there to explain the other changes this mod makes and to recommend if you want more stage features. Keep in mind that only the ones not tagged "other mod" is part of CSF. The following is a collection of all stage features in the modding environment at the moment.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
