Myf's Vanilla Psycast Expanded Tweaks

Description

This mod is a collection of tweaks I use when using Vanilla Psycasts Expanded. While I do enjoy balance, I personally like a bit of broken "magic"

Yes. This mod removes a lot of the challenges, drawbacks and debuffs that are associated with balance for Vanilla Psycasts Expanded, this mod was made for the purpose of just having fun, roleplaying, and just being a little silly with overpowered magic.

And that is not a bad thing. No matter which rimworld elitist says otherwise.

I always felt like a Psycaster is something more in the larger narrative of Rimworld's story, especially with Vanilla Psycasts Expanded!

Tweaks I've made to Psycast Paths:

Vanilla Psycasts Expanded

Skipmaster: Makes a Skipmaster feel like a proper Skip Master
- Skip ability no longer needs line of sight, you can now Skip anywhere on the map albeit with the same range Skip already had.
- Skip ability does not stun anyone who is teleported.

Conflagrator: Conflagrators are fire powered machines, not squeamish fireball tossers
- Fireball ability no longer arches like if the Psycaster tossed it in the air like a ball, instead it acts more as a projectile with a slightly faster speed.
- Fireball also no longer has a miss radius, making it completely reliable.
- Firebeam ability no longer causes a psychic coma after use.

Staticlord: It's supposed to be StaticLORD not some Staticpeasant
- Bolt damages pawns with shredded damage alongside its Fire and EMP damage.
- Bolt no longer has a miss radius, making it completely reliable.
- Chainbolt now does a lot more damage as it is supposed to be bolt of lightning being shot at an pawn.
- Ball Lightning is now just an ball of raw power, it's a faster projectile with explosion. (EMP damage is not working as of now.)

Frostshaper: Frostshapers should be precise, right? like pre-s-ice
- Ice Spike ability no longer has any accuracy modifiers and will instead always hit the target.
- Frost Ray ability duration period is no longer tied to psychic sensitivity, so incredibly psychic sensitive pawns will no longer be trapped in Frost Ray's duration for longer periods of time
- Frost Ray ability also now has increased damage.

Protector: You will hold back the gates of death and hell itself upon the weakness that is flesh
- Word of Healing's healing rate is significantly raised, making it truly feel like a psychic energy is healing the targeted pawn.
- Regrow Limbs no longer drops the targeted pawn's consciousness, allowing pawns that are regrowing limbs to go about their day as usual as they regrow their limbs.

Chronopath: You're a Chronopath, Rare time-controlling Psycasters, You are time.
- Plant Timeskip ability now no longer ages the psycaster, and has increased range.
- Age ability now reverses 5 years of the caster's age instead of the default 2.
- Timeskip Meditation ability no longer causes a Psychic coma after use.
- Season Timeskip ability no longer causes a Psychic coma after use.
- Time Reversal ability no longer causes a Psychic coma after use.
- Timequake ability no longer causes a Psychic coma after use.

Necropath: You're literally calling them from the grave, controlling them should be the outcome.
- Summoned Skeletons created using the Enthrall ability are now draft-able and controllable.
- Paralysis Pulse ability no longer affects Psycaster.

Vanilla Psycasts Expanded - Puppeteer

Puppeteer: You're an imperial lord who can become immortal by jumping into the body of others, you should act that way towards everyone.
- Brain Cut ability now works on your own Colonists.
- Brain Leech ability now works on your own Colonists.
- Puppets no longer suffer any negative penalties to their consciousness from being a puppet.
- Summon Puppets ability no longer requires line of sight, so you may summon your puppets from anywhere on the map.


- These tweaks are tweaks I've made for my own experience! I made this mod primarily for me, but released it because I thought maybe others would enjoy the tweaks I often use

- Is this like Revert Some Nerf mod? Yes. But instead of just reverting some nerf it adds my preferred tweaks to Vanilla Psycasts Expanded.

- Make sure to load this after all Psycast Mods!

- Combat Extended? No idea. Never used it, Plus this is a Psycast mod dummy.

- This mod should be compatible with existing saves, just make sure to back up your save just in case!

- A lot of Psycasts have Psychic Coma built into the ability itself, if I mention that I cannot remove it via this mod then it's best you use Cherry Picker mod to remove Psychic Coma all together from the game.

- This is absolutely NOT an attempt to say my ideas are better than the Vanilla Expanded team's vision for Vanilla Psycasts Expanded, These are just my preferred tweaks that make the game more fun for me!


- Vanilla Psycasts Expanded by the incredible Oskar Potocki and the ever amazing Vanilla Expanded team!
- Basilicus Bestower's art by Oskar Potocki


- Neronix17 for helping me out with Patches, especially since I had never made one before!

Ah cool! glad you was able to make it work.

It does? Weird I never noticed that. do you have any other mods changing it?
ohluitvaenri Sep 3 @ 8:17pm 
@Sera i edited the xml files and took out the puppeteer stuff and it works :steamhappy: also i dont use puppeteer as it has performance issues even when not in use :PEAKactually:

@ohluitvaenri i don't think so but mods that add paths are usually small. you could just add it and never use the path. Hell i have like 40 of them installed and only use like 8 of them
