The main concept of this mod is to take jokers that have very similar effects, and consolidate their effects into one card. I know a lot of people have wanted something like this, so... here it is!

EDIT: This mod now has a GitHub!

link?

knotty wigeon
#

yeah, just got the loc_vars code generation code working

#

so i'll be releasing a first build soon

#

but since this is taking off, i figured i'd give it its own forum post

knotty wigeon
#

here is the first version of the mod; there are five fused jokers so far.

it has its own util file, which is a custom fork of LushUtil. the formatting is slightly different, but it allows the code inside your mod file to look cleaner and easier to understand by automatically assigning default values to the more unintuitive or filler variables that the game requires of custom jokers. feel free to copy the code snippet that automatically generates loc_vars, too!

if you have ideas for other jokers that could be fused, i'm all ears! (though i will say, my next targets are the "contains a hand type" jokers.)

#

Don't worry about running out of material for this idea because the number of Joker combinations is

2^150 - 151

accounting for "only 1 Joker" and "no Jokers" (yes, I did the math)!

knotty wigeon
#

all these fusions are jokers that trigger from similar effects.

Anyways, I had a couple of ideas for this mod:
Blueprint/Brainstorm + Invisible Joker
The Order + The Tribe (for Straight Flushes)

and this two ?

#

but i'd have to state that face cards in hand retrigger twice

#

because that's how the cards work now

tight vigil
knotty wigeon
#

yes, i did!

i was actually thinking about incorporating these masks into the design of the card

#

also oooooh this mod looks so interesting

tight vigil
#

@knotty wigeon, what about combining Supernova and Constellation?
My idea: gain xMultiplier equal to the number of times the hand type has been played (play a Flush 5 times, gain x5 Mult).

karmic idol
#

is the idea of the mod just to ask for fused jokers or give them new effects?

leaden finch
#

good question

knotty wigeon
karmic idol
knotty wigeon
#

the initial idea of the mod is just to condense cards with similar trigger conditions

leaden finch
#

thats fair

tight vigil
leaden finch
#

shoot the moon + baron?

karmic idol
#

similar trigger conditions so that means not ideas like baron and mime

leaden finch
#

business card + reserved parking?

tight vigil
#

Hit the Road + Canio?

leaden finch
#

constellation + fortune teller?

#

dusk + acrobat?

knotty wigeon
#

i get the idea that it's similar theming

leaden finch
#

thank you

knotty wigeon
#

but you'd have to nerf it substantially to make it work

#

like, i'm talking

#

0.1x mult per time hand was played, or something

leaden finch
#

fibonacci + walkie talkie?

tight vigil
leaden finch
#

maybe not,,

#

Bull + Bootstraps?

jagged jetty
#

Juggler and Drunkard lmfao

knotty wigeon
#

i mean

#

could be like, "Bottle Flipper" or something

#

the idea is to take jokers with effects that may not be good enough on their own

#

and make jokers that combine their effects into a single slot

#

because like, negative is hella unreliable

#

heyo, as i was watching youtube i thought of even steven and odd todd, which could combine into "parity paul" (bcuz in mathematics the parity of an integer is whether if its even or if its odd)

glad forge
#

another combo could be steel joker and stone joker, combining into an "ore joker" (like iron ore)

#

dusk and acrobat btoh activate on final hand, could do something with that

#

these four could of course be combined

knotty wigeon
#

and then there's scary + smiley to make creepy face

glad forge
#

i had noticed that lol

#

though stuff like sly & wily (the pair ones) could also be combined in some way

#

they have the same color palettes too which is good for the artistic side of this, which would be what the cards look like

knotty wigeon
#

yeah, those are the next targets

#

identical color palettes and trigger conditions

glad forge
#

i feel like half joker and joker stencil could be cool to combine, because they both work off less cards (in some way)

glad forge
#

oo dusk + acrobat could be combined into something like "night-time show"

knotty wigeon
#

dusk is the end of a day, and curtain call is the end of a performance

glad forge
#

oo yeahhh

knotty wigeon
#

i think this turned out pretty good, actually!

leaden finch
#

pretty

timber dune
#

Flowerpot + seeing double

#

Shoot the moon and baron

#

Cartomancer + astronomer

#

Bootstraps + bull (maybe a rodeo?)

#

Licence + certificate

#

Golden ticket + Midas mask (+ golden joker?)

#

Sorry for the spam

#

Maybe license + hologram - gain more Mult when you add an enhanced card

knotty wigeon
#

i like the ideas!

spark verge
#

Hologram + Throwback = Virtual reality??
Get 0.1x per played card

knotty wigeon
#

mmmmm... bear in mind, this is about compacting cards first and foremost

stable dock
knotty wigeon
#

@feral slate just pinging you here so you can see it

mystic needle
#

are these cards replacing the two component cards, or are they triggered by owning both?

#

i assume the latter but i'm just checking before i rush into a run with this lol

knotty wigeon
#

the cards will automatically fuse if you attempt to buy a component joker while owning the other (even if you have full slots)

mystic needle
#

i'm encountering the fused jokers in the shops is that intended

knotty wigeon
#

that is not intended

#

i'm going to be looking into removing them eventually

#

oh this is playable already? too used to people holding off on releases

wraith dock
valid crystal
#

rhetorical question yeah i'm about to start playing now after i sort out what mods to use

#

is the thing feder is working on something different? also heads up the heart one is gonna need to be changed after patch

wraith dock
#

for now :
"Smiley Face" + "Scary Face" ==> "Creepy Face"
"Lusty Joker" + "Bloodstone" ==> "Bloody Joker"
"Gluttonous Joker" + "Onyx Agate" ==> 'Famished Joker'
"Greedy Joker" + "Rough Gem" ==> 'Mogul Joker'
"Wrathful Joker" + "Arrowhead" ==> 'Warlord Joker'

#

If I understood what you mean xD

valid crystal
#

i've seen screenshots of feder working on a fusion rarity with ideas similar to this. bloodstone got buffed to be a 1 in 2 chance so Bloody Joker will need to be changed accordingly

wraith dock
#

I guess changes will be done when 1.1.0 will be out

knotty wigeon
#

mhm

#

i could probably make a quick experimental build tho

vocal acorn
#

Loving the idea of the mod so far!

knotty wigeon
#

i'm glad! but if you like mine, you'll love the one that @feral slate is cooking up.

vocal acorn
#

oh really there's another?

#

I've always just wanted Four Fingers + Shortcut lmao

karmic idol
#

Imo you both should work together to make a better mod

#

No point in making 2 mods that do the same thing

knotty wigeon
#

yeah, that's probably what i'm gonna end up doing tbh

#

i've got my own personal balance mod i'm working on anyway, and i mainly made this one to learn modding and make something that didn't already exist

#

i don't really care if i'm outdone here, and... that's kinda what itay's doing. more power to them!

grand zodiac
#

I got these two errors while playing recently.

#

Sorry it's taken so long for me to update this, but I figured... better late than never.

#

The current build has been uploaded to GitHub!

tardy escarp
#

crash on start up lmao

knotty wigeon
#

ah

#

should be fixed, just forgot a comma

tardy escarp
#

okey! I'll try to redownload :3

tardy escarp
#

it's working fine now :3

#

also, got my first fusion today

#

thing I'll note
there is a bug I discovered however
A. it's only visual
and
B. it's a compatability thing
so I'm not even sure if it's important enough to fix lol

tardy escarp
#

I think there should be a fusion of drunkard and juggler
also, the bug btw was that with cryptid, there's a couple effects which can modify the numbers of jokers, fused jokers will have the numbers changed effectwise, but their description stayed the same

knotty wigeon
#

ah, i see

#

@knotty wigeon

#

hey

#

it seems like ur mod is not in balatro mod manager yet

#

wdyt of adding it there ?

knotty wigeon
#

uh, sure? didn't know we had a manager now!

#

been way out of the loop, haha!

violet ermine
#

check this out

#

This feels like a retread of Fusion Jokers

gaunt jewel
#

I thought it was

#

okay yeah this is strange?

#

idk how this mod works yet but just looking at these

#

the top 6 of these are fusionjokers fusions?

image.png
#

not saying it copied fusionjokers

#

but i feel like this would be way better if it was a fusionjokers addon mod than what it is currently

gusty cave
#

My thoughts exactly

gaunt jewel
#

i'd be totally down to convert it into a fusionjokers addon mod and run OP through the ropes if they're interested

#

but i do need to clear up some other things first

tardy escarp
#

if i remember correctly, this mod was actually around before the other fusion jokers mod, tho, to be fair

gaunt jewel
gritty surge
#

any idea on how I could add my own modded jokers to the fusions mod? i just want 2 of my jokers to be able to fuse together and make another one of my modded jokers.

#

I mean.... the one I linked does the same thing, provides an api for exactly what you want, and does still work

gritty surge
#

i'll try it then

#

i'm very new to coding so it's extremely confusing to me
