What if every metallic element was a enhancement?, what would they do? Who would even ask such a question?

I would.

(This is just here so I can talk about my ideas and ramblings for this mod, I'll update it occasionally with images or screenshots of me actually adding these features.. eventually)

#

Currently i've only added 3 elements, Iron, Copper and Silver but im gonna work on more when the enhancement fix is done 😭

valid pollen
#

Cool idea

cosmic bone
#

ty ty

#

Maybe make a new pack with gemstone/metal cards in which you can consume them to turn cards into either gemstone or metal cards

#

Gemstone are better but come at the cost of being more niches

cosmic bone
#

some ideas i have for other elements though:

  • elements that react with air: have a chance to destroy themselves and every card played in a hand, give x bonus when it happens
  • Lead: cannot be retriggered, is a better card overall
  • Polonium/dangerous elements: start at out at 5 Xmult, lose -1Xmult for every joker owned

Example: ruby; when card is discarded the next played hand will gain an additional amount of chips based on the rank of the ruby card stacking inf

#

oh i mean i'll have all my ideas here, i dont expect any help though so dw :]

#

(heres iron, silver and copper - copper does need a redesign though)

rancid sentinel
#

oh this is my exact shit

valid pollen
#

There should also be a mechanic where metal cards can "degrade" or rust over time causing them to decrease their effects

rancid sentinel
#

gemstones feel a little seperate from elements

cosmic bone
rancid sentinel
#

Yes.

valid pollen
#

Well it's metal's so

cosmic bone
rancid sentinel
#

maybe instead of oxidization

#

you could do uhh

#

fuck whats it called

#

how did i forget this

valid pollen
#

Erosion?

rancid sentinel
#

no no

cosmic bone
#

patina?

rancid sentinel
#

when isotopes become other elements by

#

losing

#

something

cosmic bone
#

oh,

#

urgg

#

uh

#

decay

#

just, decay

valid pollen
#

Should I make my own mod

cosmic bone
#

i was given that as an idea for radioactive elements, after retriggering x amount of times they turn into a different element

rancid sentinel
#

MHM

cosmic bone
valid pollen
#

Make a nuke card

rancid sentinel
#

what was that one experiment where like

valid pollen
#

It can only be used once per run and it instantly clears out blind

rancid sentinel
#

theyd make artificial isotopes of a high value

#

and then let it beta decay

#

to discover new ones

cosmic bone
rancid sentinel
#

maybe? im really shit with names

#

like i could tell you exactly how something works and not what its called

cosmic bone
#

😭

#

they use particle accelerators for discovering new elements, yes

rancid sentinel
#

i remember this one video

#

about like

#

this one guy who lied about discovering a new element

#

i think it was explained in that one specifically

cosmic bone
#

mhm, yeah i know the cideo

#

also, i will be uploading a very early build of this.. Soon™️

#

it only has 3 elements, but right now 2 of them dont work and are waiting for the enhancement calc fix

rancid sentinel
#

peak ?

cosmic bone
#

peak.

rancid sentinel
#

potassium just applies the gros michel effect to the card

cosmic bone
#

😭

rancid sentinel
#

so an objectively worse glass card

cosmic bone
#

thats acc a stupid idea i love it

rancid sentinel
#

🔥

#

what do iron silver and copper do?

cosmic bone
#

iron: 5+ mult when in hand (worse steel, on purpose)
silver: retriggers the card once
copper: retriggers all other copper cards around it

rancid sentinel
#

oooh i love those

#

especially iron, exactly what i was thinking with it being a part of steel

cosmic bone
#

mhm mhm

#

i wanted it to be a worse steel, i was deciding on wether to make it chips or mult but imo

#

mult works better

rancid sentinel
#

ye ye

#

silver just being another retrigger is interesting with red seal

#

could it be retriggered via hanging chad? ik red seal cant

cosmic bone
#

maybe? no idea tbh

#

i'd have to test it

#

originally silver was only gonna be a "retrigger other cards when in hand", but ehhhhhh

rancid sentinel
#

also at least you have gold cards done for you already lawl

cosmic bone
#

literally 😭

rancid sentinel
#

silver card retriggers the first card

#

if you have another silver, it retriggers the second

#

(or first if youre doing high card lmao)

#

though its probably easier to code them just retriggering the first

cosmic bone
#

that works

#

but yeah, thats gonna be a pain in the rectum to code 😭

#

the copper code is somehow not that bad, but its still iffy

rancid sentinel
#

honestly i like retriggering the first card via a card in hand

cosmic bone
rancid sentinel
#

would be interesting with mime and red seal

cosmic bone
#

i do like that idea

#

doing it for a specific card order? easy

rancid sentinel
#

ooh

#

just had an idea for gallium

#

infamous for its incredibly low melting point

#

what if it was a decent effect, maybe some x mult or lots of chips

cosmic bone
#

-# liquid metals are also an interesting conundrum

rancid sentinel
#

but it breaks whenever the fire effect happens, aka one shotting the blind

#

because the heat melts it

#

either breaks the card or loses the enhancement

rancid sentinel
#

its like glass

#

but instead of breaking

#

you lose the enhancement

#

and its a regular card again

cosmic bone
#

true actually, thats neat

rancid sentinel
#

since the liquid slides off

cosmic bone
#

the original idea i had for mercury/liquid metals is that it couldnt be debuffed, but it’d lose its rank

#

which essentially means you can only play flush, high card, flush house, and maybe another hand idk

rancid sentinel
#

im personally not a fan of rankless but the no debuff is interesting

#

so all liquid metals would have their own, strong effect, but can lose the enhancement somehow

#

not the card though

cosmic bone
#

yuh yuh

rancid sentinel
#

when having the fire effect makes sense since melting point

cosmic bone
#

it’d be like changing a stone card to a different enhancement

rancid sentinel
#

im pretty sure theres a way to check the current blind and how much a hand scores

cosmic bone
#

there is, i really need to learn it for my other mod 😭😭

echo rivet
#

How can we make each element an improvement? I've been thinking about ideas for a long time.

cosmic bone
#

eh, im sure theres enough ideas to make it work, this is not my first mod for a game revolved around the periodic table

echo rivet
#

Let's put all the chemistry in Balatro

#

ALL

cosmic bone
#

😭😭

echo rivet
#

I've already taken on this, but it remains a bunch of ideas in the notebook.

#

You'll also need to implement this in code, I can come up with everything else.

torn notch
low tendon
#

May I suggest that a nickel enhancement provides $0.05 when played/triggered?

cosmic bone
low tendon
# cosmic bone thats smart actually, i like that

May I also suggest:
Niobium: A combination between copper and steel, but only works with itself, as niobium is very conductive (literally more so than human nerves) and (was) used within wires and some lightbulbs.
Platinum: Literally just a better gold; but harder to fine.
Lithium: Provides additional mult (compared to a mult card), but has a chance to react with the air and dissipate
Tungsten: +1 hand size it cures mortality after all, cannot be retriggered
I have no idea on what Zinc and Tin could theoretically do.

cosmic bone
#

i like those ideas a lot

#

and lithium, (and other alkali metals) already have a similar idea to that?

#

essenitally they have a chance to destroy the entire hand when played, but give a big bonus when done so - HOWEVER they have double that chance to just destroy themselves when in hand

#

so if its a 1/4 chance to destroy the entire hand, its a 1/2 chance they'll just delete themselves in-hand

low tendon
#

Sounds good.

cosmic bone
#

heres nickel, i did want to add "IN JIMBO WE TRUST" but not enough space

#

also turns out, nickel the ore is slightly yellow

low tendon
#

With Chromium being a primary component in stainless steel, perhaps Chromium could be immune to debuffs?

cosmic bone
low tendon
#

Hell yeah Heckin_Cool

cosmic bone
#

as mentioned, i'll release this version when the enhancement calculation fix is implemented, however unless i get off my lazy ass and learn how to make tarots, there are currently no easy way to get any of these enhancements (except from standard packs? which eh?)
