ladder probabilistic framework

A framework mod that uses Content Patcher to change the spawn probability of ladders or shafts/cave openings in mines or skull caves under various conditions.

Ladder Chance Framework

🎮 **A powerful ladder generation probability control framework**

✨ Module Introduction

This is a framework mod and does not directly change the game itself. It provides a powerful system that allows other mods to adjust the spawn probability of ladders and shafts in mines and skull caves under various conditions.

📦 Optional content packs

In the optional files you can find a customizable multi-purpose package that uses the ladder probabilistic framework and provides multiple configuration options:

• 🔧 **Probability multiplier setting**: Set the ladder generation probability multiplier for the mine and the skull cave respectively.
• 🌀 **Special Room Guarantee**: Guaranteed spawning of a ladder at the end of a spiral or snake room
• ⛏️ **Challenge Mode**: Players are required to break all stones before a ladder will be generated
• 🐉 **Monster Killing Bonus**: After completing the 100th floor mission of the Skeleton Cave, the probability of killing monsters to generate a ladder will be increased.
• 🗑️ **Empty Floor Guarantee**: Guaranteed to spawn ladders on almost empty floors and no ladders have been spawned yet
• 💎 **Jade Node Bonus**: Increase the probability of generating ladders from jade nodes

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE

This framework mod requires other content packs or mods to function. Installing the main file alone will have no impact on your game.

❓ FAQ

How do multiple probability modifications interact?

When multiple mods modify ladder/shaft spawn probability at the same time, LCF will intelligently coordinate as expected. For example:

• Module A: Using a basic pickaxe to destroy any stone has a 20% chance of generating a ladder.
• Module B: Destroying diamond nodes has a 90% chance of generating a ladder.
• Module C: Destroying any stone in the center of the spiral floor has a 100% chance of generating a ladder.

If you destroy the diamond node with a basic pickaxe in the center of the spiral floor, the ladder spawn probability will be 100%, because "always" means always active!

Is it possible to generate multiple ladders or shafts?

In the original Stardew Valley:

• Only one ladder can be obtained from stone
• Multiple ladders can be obtained from enemies
• Multiple shafts can be obtained from stones or enemies
• Shafts do not prevent ladders from spawning

Mods using LCF can change this logic.

Mod Compatibility

LCF specifically interacts with code that runs when a player (or other entity) breaks stone or kills a monster in a mine or skull cave. The focus of LCF is on the *probabilities* used by the game, not the actual creation of the ladder.
