I feel the way you have to play this archipelago is to try to fight every monster/elite encounter and go nowhere else unless you have to and also wait around a frickload for your friends to drop card drops and relics for you. overall this was a real garbage archipelago game as of current play. they could improve this and make it good, but like only 30 checks, pick a different game. cards and relics don't get replaced, you get locked into 1 seed, and doing multiple runs breaks it and removes relics your friends send to you, so it's bad, gamers

You should add Hollow Knight to the list. It has an Archipelago randomizer mod

For those who asked, there is an Archipelago Discord where ideas are constantly being discussed. I can't link an invite in here, but if you visit Archipelago.gg, you'll be able to find it on the top right corner

would also love an option for a different seed at the start of every run, I don't think running through with the same seed over and over is very interesting

The other thing I'd like to see is a better game loop. This is just spit-balling here as I don't know how the code works to generate the "locations" and if any of this would be feasible. Right now you just run a single seed with basically the same deck (unless you restart from the beginning).
- It would be fun to be able to re-roll the seed each time you restart from the beginning. That way you see other card's show up, and new rooms.
- Add modes to have to play through all characters (or a subset). To be able to prolong the game. Each of the characters could have their own unlocks as well.
- Be able to play through multiple ascensions (do jumps by 5 or something if you keep unlocks)

If there's a better place to post this (like a Discord) please let me know.

Love the mod. Is there any way to expand the .yaml properties to include more options for randomization? Suggestions:
- Number of Relics (normal and boss)
- Number of Card Draws (normal and rare)

I know this messes with the difficulty (making easier/harder). But the option would be nice. And I think it would be fairly easy with how I think the code is setup.

Would it be possible to add more "locations" to increase the pool of things you can "unlock"?:
- Gold
- Potions
- Max HP (could just be extra Strawberry relics)

The first two are a bit more temporary (though depending on how they are coded you might start each run with the bonus gold and potion options, which could get weird).

The game will softlock if you click the Archipelago button during an encounter. If the issue is not able to be fixed, please warn the player via an in-game text box at the start. Thank you!

@Crys Killjoy - Slotname is whatever is in the archipelago yaml file for the character name. It is case sensitive

what the fuck is a slotname?

Links were removed by steam :( I'll look into getting the back.

where links

hi its an interesting concept... can i check.. if i only have this game on steam,
can i still play or would there only be a point if i had the other games too?

i did have factorio on steam, which i could reinstall, but just wondering what would be required?

Ogey
