Railroad

Overview

DISCLAIMER: I highly suggest you check the configurations after launching the game with the mod the first time.

Gives a degree of configuration on how runs flow, mainly portals and end stage bosses.

It's pretty much Nuxlar's Looper but catered for my specific wants.

Allows spawning of portals and item rewards when completing:

• Mithrix fight on Commencement.
• Voidling fight on Planetarium.
• False Son fight on Prime Meridian.
• Solus Heart fight in Solus Web.
• Twisted Scavenger fight on A Moment, Whole.

Also allows control over the following:

• Time Flowing in Void Fields and Planetarium.
• Spawning of the Void Portal after completing Void Fields.
• Spawning of the Void Outro Portal after completing the Voidling fight.
• Spawning of the Rebirth Shrine after the False Son fight.
• Spawning of the Encrypted Portal after the False Son fight.
• Requiring Beads of Fealty to enter A Moment, Whole.
• Removing the Colossus Portal from the Gilded Coast.
• Making the Gilded Coast always spawn a Colossus Portal that takes you straight to Prime Meridian.
• When the Celestial Orb is allowed to appear, including on Eclipse Runs.
• Allowing Bead of Fealty to appear in Eclipse Runs.

Other misc features include:

• Replacing the Teleporter wth the Primordial Teleporter while looping.
• Enable specific Artifacts upon looping.

Additional Notes

• The mod does check for DLC when spawning certain portals.

Here's the supported Portal list:

• Shop = Blue Portal (Takes you to the Bazaar Between Time)
• MS = Celestial Portal (Takes you to A Moment, Fractured)
• Null = Null Portal (Takes you to the next map, used to exit Void Fields)
• Void = Void Portal (Takes you to the Void Locus, requires SOTV)
• DeepVoid = Deep Void Portal (Takes you to the Planetarium, requires SOTV)
• VoidOutro = Portal? (Fate Unknown.., used to finish the game at the Planetarium, requires SOTV)
• Goldshores = Gold Portal (Takes you to the Gilded Coast)
• Colossus = Colossus Portal (Takes you to the Prime Meridian, requires SOTS)
• Destination = Destination Portal (Used after clearing Prime Meridian, takes you back to the main path, requires SOTS)
• HardwareProg = Encrypted Portal (Takes you to the Conduit Canyon, requires AC)
• HardwareProg_Haunt = Encrypted Portal (Takes you to the Solutional Haunt, requires AC)
• SolusShop = Virtual Portal (Takes you to the Computational Exchange, requires AC)
• SolusBackout = Virtual Portal (Used to leave the Solus Shop and go back to the main path, requires AC)
• SolusWeb = Decrypted Portal (Takes you to the Solus Web, requires AC)

Certain configurations can also take Run Flags/Portal Tags, these control when the configuration takes effect.

The current list is:

• PreLoop/PostLoop
• PreMithrix/PostMithrix
• PreTwistedScavenger/PostTwistedScavenger
• PreVoidling/PostVoidling
• PreFalseSon/PostFalseSon
• PreSolusWing/PostSolusWing
• PreSolusHeart/PostSolusHeart
• PreVoidFields/PostVoidFields

The mod itself also includes a configuration that lists these (Railroad_InputHelp.cfg) and an example of how they work, some configuration may also be using these by default.

Actually Planned Features

• Add Run Flag support to run ending configurations such as Rebirth/Decompile.
• Portal "Slot" configurations, places portals in a certain place/order and can block later portals from being placed if they share the same slot.
• Portal "Socket", place portals in certain spots based on roughly where the vanilla game would place certain portals, for muscle memory purposes.

Future Possibilities

• Add Run Flag and Stage Number configuration support to mid-run Artifact configuration.
• Configuration to force the run path through Commencement until Mithrix is defeated.
• Toggle spawning of the Gold Portal on Gilded Coast.

Known Issues

• Not multiplayer tested.
• Null Portals and Decrypted Portals spawned by this mod may not work in multiplayer.
• SolusBackout Portals hang lower than others, looks bad but is otherwise fine.
• Apparently portals c
