SimulacrumEscapeModpack

Simulacrum Escape Modpack

I wake up again, trapped in the never-ending simulacrum.

A million scenarios unfold, each one a slight variation of the last. Sometimes I'm solitary, sometimes I find unlikely allies. Occasionally, a cache of weapons materializes before me, a cruel temptation in this nightmarish dance.

But this time, an unsettling dissonance taints the familiar script. Glitches ripple through the SIM???U?LACR?UM, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. Amidst the chaos, I stumble upon an anomalous portal, distinct from the others in this fractured world. It leads me to a realm where adversaries, eternal and unyielding, await.

In this ominous dimension, I confront my tormentor anew, yet an unfamiliar sensation tugs at the edges of my consciousness. Is it a glimmer of hope, a chance for escape? Or merely the last flicker of my decaying mind, reaching out in V?AI??N

About

This modpack is vanilla-like and server-side compatible. It consists of several mods which turn the Simulacrum mode into a limited run until wave 50. You get to start in the Bazaar between Times to stock up on items. The monsters, however, also receive lots of items and the difficulty is ramped up. The fifth stage is the final stage and happens in Void Locus where the difficulty is ramped up yet again. Upon finishing the final stage, you successfully escape from the Simulacrum.

This modpack is focused on the Simulacrum mode, but it also affects normal runs. As such, it is recommended to keep a separate profile in the modmanager.

How to play

• Install modpack and dependencies
• Create a Simulacrum lobby
• Beat wave 50 to win

Mods

| Mod | Description |

|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Def-BazaarIsMyHaven | Adds printers, equipment shops and more cauldrons to the bazaar. |

| Def-ServerSideItems | Lightly balances ShatterSpleen for this mod. |

| Def-ServerSideTweaks | Makes the combat director bias towards strong enemies instead of many weak enemies to reduce the lag in the later stages. |

| Def-SimulacrumBossStageMod | Teleports you at wave 40 to Void Locus, spawns the boss at wave 50, rewards the player with Lunar Coins once completed and ends the run afterwards. |

| Def-SimulacrumNormalStages | Makes normal stages playable in Simulacrum Mode. |

| Def-StartBonusMod | Gives players starting cash for the start in the Bazaar between Times. |

| Def-RandomEvents | Causes Random Events to happen to spice up the waves. |

| Flyingcomputer-Exchange_Changes | Speeds up the usage of printers and recyclers. |

| FunkFrog-and-Sipondo-ShareSuite | This modlist has been balanced around ShareSuite. |

| Lunzir2-ArtifactEvolutionPlusPlus | Makes enemies receive lots of items after each new stage, if the Artifact of Evolution is active. |

| MagnusMagnuson-BiggerBazaar | Adds buyable chests to the Bazaar |

| MagnusMagnuson-StartInBazaar | Self-explanatory |

| Moffein-AI_Blacklist | Prevents enemies from receiving some of the broken items. |

| Moffein-GupLimiter | Reduces lag caused by too many Gups. |

| Moffein-PrintToInventory | Prints items directly to inventory. Required so that you can't cheat items in the Bazaar by printing and re-cycling them using the recycler. |

| OakPrime-CaptainSkillsUsable | Since the last stage happens in the Void Locus, it would be unfair to the Captain to not be able to use his skills. |

| Thrayonlosa-ItemBlacklist | Disables some items due to them being too powerful for Simulacrum runs. |

ItemBlacklist

Reason: Balance

This is a list of items for which there is a strong recommendation to leave them disabled to keep the balance of this modpack intact.

| Item | Reason |

|-----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| Tougher Times | If stacked too many times makes you basically invulnerable. |
