The Roost Machine

Description
The Beachcomber; The Elegiast; The Vagabond; The Twins; and the nestful more.

THIS IS A DLL MOD. REQUIRES GHIRBI, the Gatekeeper.
WORKS ONLY ON "GATEOFHORN" BETA BRANCH

To enter the Gate of Horn:
- Right-click on Cultist Simulator in your Steam library
- Select "Properties"
- Select "Betas"
- Switch from "None" to "gateofhorn"


Steam sometimes doesn't update the Workshop content automatically
so if there's an issue, make sure you have the latest versions
both of the Cultist Simulator and of the Roost Machine.

(to do this, compare the number of change notes from this page
with the version number from the game's mod menu)

Short list of features

- Allows DLL mods to easily inject code into commonly used places and times of power.
- Allows DLL mods to add properties to existing entities; or define wholly new custom entities; or even hijack the existing properties, to override the value type.
- Console is enhanced with a command line, and taught many useful commands.
- Recipe effects are severely expanded (gravely even), with the ability to modify contents of other verbs and decks, to shuffle decks at will, to access the global scope, to induce recipes with xtriggers, etc, etc.
- Most of the numerical properties now can make use of *references and expressions*:
--- References allow to access values outside of the scope of the current recipe.
--- Expressions allow to use math and logic functions when defining values.
--- Together they allow to use complex conditionals/effects, such as "draw twice as many cards as there are Health cards on the table and move them to this other verb".

...as well as great many other things.

Special thanks to:
- Cultist Simulator Discord community[discord.gg], whose creativity, ingenuity, and sophistication are all inexhaustible source of restlessness.
- Alexis Kennedy, Martin Nerurkar, Marc Gagné, and every other programmer who worked on the game's framework, for a codebase that's a reasonable joy to hack.

Yeah, as I said, it definitely should work on your specs. Admittedly, due to the fact that files have to be manually loaded and injected by the Roost, they probably aren't handled in an optimal way - though still probably not on a "overload RAM" scale.
What's more likely is that there's some kind of very specific hiccup that arises on the intersection of your configuration and how things are handled by the Roost; but it's, alas, *very* hard to debug this kind of problem.

It's really odd because I can run stuff like Monster Hunter Wilds just fine, but *CultSim* is what gets my pc; and when I check my Task Manager, the memory isn't spiking at all. I'll try removing the MP3s for the mods I'm not currently playing and hopefully that will work.

@winter Hi!

It's probably the combination of these. Judging by the specs, your PC should be able to handle Apostles - and I know there are people with worse setups running them fine. So unless you have a ton of other pefromance-heavy apps opened, it *should* be working, but there may be some kind of weird interaction with your hardware specifically.

The only workaround I can suggest is to temporarily move music folders of the mods you aren't playing currently. They're located at %steamfolder%\steamapps\workshop\content\718670. There's going to be six folders each corresponding to a mod; I don't remember exact ids of each, but you could tell which mod is which by looking at the cover image inside of the each folder. Just move "audio" folder from the mods you don't intend to play right now and, hopefully, that'll free just enough memory to proceed.

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about this! I'm having an issue where trying to resume my save or starting a new ascension after a run crashes the game due to "Could not allocate memory: System out of memory!". The mods I currently have are:

GHIRBI
The Roost Machine
Exile: Betrayer's Map
and the three Exile Apostle DLC

I'm guessing it's due to a bunch of assets being loaded all at once, especially since the three Exile DLC all have their own MP3 replacements, but I thought it would be better to ask here since it seems more like an issue with how the assets are being loaded vs the actual assets themselves. I'm not familiar with Unity or working with DLLs, so I'm unsure if this due to some limitation with the game itself, my hardware, or a memory leak of some kind.

I put two different crash logs here:

@LEE Yes, it all should be fixed in the latest version
LEE Mar 9 @ 3:50am 
Can you fix the bug that the number of the four cards at the bottom of the opening screen disappears except for the Exile opening?
Chelnoque  [author] Mar 9 @ 3:36am 
Another update, should be fixed for real this time ! Sorry for the kerfuffle, folks
LEE Mar 8 @ 5:37am 
The bottom bar still seems to be missing for me.
Chelnoque  [author] Feb 28 @ 9:17pm 
Can you please send me the following files from the save folder (can open from in-game's Settings -> Browse Files) - save.json, Player.log, Player-prev.log, config.ini? In any convenient way - a link here, in Steam DMs, in Discord (chelnoque).

Sure, unsubscribed and resubscribed again just in case, still no bottom bar.
