Less Inaccuracies

Description
This mod changes some translation strings in an attempt to remove inaccuracies and misconceptions.
Many text strings in the game can be misleading or outright wrong about some information.
This mod aims to correct as much of that as possible, as well as adding some QOL things along the way.
This mod is entirely cosmetic, and shouldn't affect gameplay - besides making you more informed, that is.

Here's some standout examples of odd inaccuracies that this mod fixes:
- Gas Blood doesn't mention that it gives toxic immunity
- Freeze Field doesn't mention that it gives fire immunity
- The FOUR different varieties of gunpowder all have the exact same name
- There are missing death messages for the Temple of the Art arrow traps and explosive crystals
- Kills to Mana has an outdated description
And many more things that this mod fixes.
Enjoy, and upvote if you want to support me!

Really great call! I'll look into changing that soon - though, admittedly it might look a bit strange seeing that familiar text changed after so many hours, lol

I have an inaccuracy to suggest which I have seen trip up multiple new players. When you go to look at a wand in a shop, it says "Press [E] to purchase 'Wand'". This makes them not realize that pressing E does not actually spend the money, and that they can examine the wand's spells and compare its stats gratis without committing to the purchase. This is an important distinction, especially in the early game when money is tight!

Hah, good call, I'll consider including that in a future version

If we really want to be less inaccurate, i have a suggestion about:

actiondesc_destruction "Instantly decimates foes around you, at the cost of 10% of your current HP"

now I realise this is a nitpick, and that the vanilla game has the same issue, but "decimate" is probably a bad word to use here because it can mean different things to different people. (specifically, to nitpickers it means "reduce by one tenth")

It is probably better to say "destroys foes" instead of "decimates foes".

Weirdly enough, it would be technically correct (but still bad) to say "at the cost of decimating your current HP" 🙃

Thank you for the kind words!

I see that many people the in comments say bad things about this mod, so I will say things straight: Noita can be cryptic on purpose, if that's what developers intended. And, unsurprisingly, game stays like that! Nobody does anything to the vanilla version! It's a mod! iIf you don't like it or don't want it, just don't use it!
Not everyone likes when every single note in the world cannot be trusted, aside from main menu (probably), and just blindly checking things or bumping into them is more efficient than deciphering all these... crypticness. As Calamari said earlier. there are things that are cryptic without any particular purpose, just because.

Thanks for the mod, Graham!

No? It's entirely a cosmetic mod

does this make alchemy with gunpowder impossible?

Good idea! soil_lush_dark unfortunately uses the same UI name, so I can't really change both of them without fancy stuff

Suggestion: distinguish soil and soil_lush
