Fool's Laboratory is meant to be a new mod for Steamodded that adds a new type of vanilla-ish consumables - Chemical Cards. They're based on molecular formulas, so if you're a little bit of a scientist, you can come up with ideas for the Chemical Cards.

This mod is planned to add a maximum of 50 Chemical Cards, mainly because there's no point in making all discovered molecular formulas consumables for Balatro, as well as some jokers.

Inspiration: Codex Arcanum (Redux Arcanum)

i know, im very tired and thats the only thing that came to mind, i know its not a good idea

feral depot
#

Ok, I'll start with an idea:
Glucose
+10 mult for every instance of this card in the consumable area,
0.5X mult if you have more than 10 instances

tough path
#

Silicone ( [R2SiO]n) can give a negative Common Joker. Given its the basic formula for plastic and most playing cards nowadays are plastic

Not bad

Make it that it stops at maybe 10 instead. Or that you get a downside for having too many

feral depot
#

Maybe 0.5X mult if you have 10

#

or more

#

Now we talking

#

Ok good night now

feral depot
#

Good night

#

Hmm Also Is there a way to check for certain Chemicals to give a DNA joker in exchange for destroying them? It sounds ambicious and kinda imbalanced

feral depot
tough path
#

Or create a perishable one

feral depot
#

Im sticking with the 1 in 10 DNA when sold idea

tough path
#

Also it would be a good idea to add a chemical tag for blind skipping

I'm making my own idea:
Ethanol (Alcohol)
Apply a random enhancement to 1 selected card

@minor locust Are you gonna make any ideas?

minor locust
#

this thing is

#

uhh

#

feral depot
#

e

minor locust
#

#

you don't need to plan out everything before starting

#

Battery: Select up to five cards and randomly turn all of them into Gold or Steel

#

Bleacher: Select up to five cards (Jokers included) and remove all editions, enhancements, seals and stickers from them

#

Medicinal Alcohol: Select up to 2 cards and convert them into Glass and Polychrome. Works with Jokers too, convert them just on Polychrome

#

Makeup: Select up to 10 cards (depending on your hand size) and randomly add Bonus or Mult or Lucky or Wild to all of them

#

Cement: Creates 12 stone cards in exchange for removing all 9s and 8s from your deck

#

And here the craziest (and funniest ones):

#

Himalayan Salt: Turn your entire deck into Glass cards and add a Negative and Eternal All Oops 6s! Joker to your team

#

Colorant: Randomly destroys half of your deck and adds a red seal to all surviving cards. It also reduces your Joker slots to 1 (meaning that if you have 5 Jokers, you'll still have them, but they'll be 5/1, meaning you can't buy any new ones, not even negative ones)

#

I can offer some other ideas if this project continues. The mentioned consumables should have some sort of "rarity" or odds of appearing with greater or lesser probability

Sorry, this whole project went quiet for a while lol. Thanks for the ideas!
