Requires Steamodded
Optionally requires CardBackInjection (for deck backs display if you have other mods that include decks installed)
Dubiously compatible with mods that add new jokers (feedback welcome)
Made for** Balatro 1.0.0n**, compatibility with later versions not guaranteed

Installation: Unpack the archive into your Mods folder

Have you ever seen Oops All 6s or Pareidolia and thought "yeah nah, there's no shot I'm picking it, I have no synergy and it's so unlikely I'll get some"?
Have you ever wished x-multi jokers would pop up less in the early game as to not trivialize it, or that Golden Joker pops up less on Ante 11?
Have you ever thought that you're due for the joker improving Straights after playing 15 straights in a row?
This mod is for you!

By default, Balatro's RNG picks uniformly from the list of all unlocked jokers of a particular rarity.
This mod nudges that distribution according to what jokers you already have, or have seen in the shop/booster packs (and some other stuff!) a little bit... or a lot!
There is a new option under game options titled "Luck" - by changing it, you adjust just how much nudging the mod will apply.

It also comes with 2 new decks, which demonstrate the nudging effect by making it very strong (Lucky Deck) and inverting it (Unlucky Deck).

Tell me what you think! The weights for nudging are subject to change with feedback so let me know if you feel something pops up way too frequently even on Slight Nudge.

can use atlases for deck backs (built into steamodded) now instead of CardBackInjection to achieve the same purpose

slim pine
#

oh nice, i havent updated steamodded in a while

fallen barn
#

😨what version are you on?

slim pine
#

gotta update and see if anything breaks brb

#

it works fine on the newest version it seems

#

ill update it for the decks back thing though

fallen barn
#

👍i also recommend doing that for your other decks, its very simple

#

1 sec i'll find it

#

if you're asking what i think you're asking then you declare the atlas (where to find the file, how large it is, etc.) separately then in the deck you "atlas = "thingy"} {x = RowNumber, y = ColumnNumber}

#

everything you need for this should be in the wiki section of the steamodded github

#

i kinda wish the example deck was updated a bit so i might do it myself lol

fallen barn
#

check the sprites thing

#

also weird that they don't include atlas there but it does work

slim pine
#

also i cant get the atlas thing to work

fallen barn
#

i'll copy paste something for you in a second, turning on my pc

slim pine
#

ok i figured it out, atlas line shouldve been in the config array specifically

#

really should be added onto wiki somewhere

#

i had to look at the steamodded source code to find it

fallen barn
#

alrighty, yeah i'll suggest it to them somehow if i don't forget cause its not really too obvious without checking other people's code

I very much appreciate this mod for returning some enjoyment of the game to me, because my luck was so rotten in ever getting any cohesive set of jokers together at any point in a run. One thing I have noticed however is that Vampire never seems to show up if I have Pareidolia, Midas Mask and other faces jokers, which is unfortunate since I know that would be an amusing build.

slim pine
#

ill see whats going on with that, in theory it should be a bit more likely to appear than normal

#

though theres also something to make it so xmult jokers mostly appear later in the run so it might be overlapping somewhat

Looking at your painstakingly crafted list of joker build tags, you have:
Pareidolia with !_Faces and Flush
Vampire with !_Enhancement and Early Get
Midas Mask with !_Faces, Enhancement and On-hand.
Considering how the code does something to the joker score for the !_ part, it might just be evaluating Faces so much higher that it never manages to spawn Enhancement stuff

#

There was definitely a huge bias to the other Faces type cards when I didn't already have them purchased, even if they had been previously sold off

#

I am usually streaming my runs to my friend and we had a laugh about Smiley Face constantly reappearing every shop, in every pack and on most rerolls too

slim pine

yeah ill probably remove the doubling prefixes from every faces joker except pareidolia
