CyclerRework

CyclerRework (Heat Cycler)

A BepInEx mod for Mycopunk that adds Heat Cycler — a Soft Redline rework of the vanilla Cycler SMG fantasy.

Features

• New primary weapon (does not replace vanilla Cycler)
• Infinite ammo — no magazines or reloads
• Soft Redline heat system
• Builds Heat while firing; dissipates after a short delay when you stop
• At max Heat you keep firing (stance: slight RoF/spread brake, damage/element carrot)
• No base hard lockout
• Pressure Vent (R) — spend a chunk of heat for a small pulse; clears redline
• R upgrades can replace/augment vent: Capacitor Dump (cone), Energy Convergence, Elemental Discharge
• Infinity Burn — overcap past max; self-DoT + outgoing power scales with overcap depth
• Elemental interlacing (Fire / Shock / Acid) — Crossflash, Pyrolysis, Acid Spark, Braid Protocol, Tri-Valve, Violent Reaction, etc.
• 43 custom upgrades isolated from vanilla Cycler
• Configurable heat / zone / vent numbers via BepInEx config

Install

r2modman (when published), or manually:

• Install BepInEx for Mycopunk
• Place CyclerRework.dll in BepInEx/plugins/

In-game

• Open gear select
• Equip Heat Cycler (auto-unlocked)
• Hold fire — heat climbs; at 100% HUD shows redline and you keep shooting
• Tap R to Pressure Vent (~35 heat + small pulse)
• With Infinity Burn, heat can climb past 100% (overcap)
• Build Fire/Shock/Acid grids for interlace payoffs (Tri-Valve, Cyclotron, Crossflash, …)

Build

dotnet build --configuration Release

Output: bin/Release/netstandard2.1/CyclerRework.dll (or project target framework output path)

Notes

• Marked IsSandbox (gameplay-affecting content)
