Welcome to Astronomica, a pet project of mine which aims to add a bunch of unique and cool cards and mechanics

#

No direct theme in mind, but it is heavily linked to cryptid.

#

Current Additions:

#

Trickster, directly adds to your score!

#

Stopwatch, gives chips based on how long you've had the game open

image.png
#

Warlock, score modification, but a bit crazier

image.png
#

Facsimile, blueprint but leftwards!

image.png
#

Tetratia, gains score whenever you do literally anything (entering a blind, playing a hand, discarding, buying a card, selling a card, you name it!)

image.png
#

And Factoria, which takes the factorial of it's current XMult, and makes that it's current XMult, for example, it goes from X3, to X6, to X720, to Xe1000

image.png
#

These are all the jokers currently in the mod right now, but the next update will add a few more, namely, a joker that converts every boss blind into a positive version

#

Here's a demonstration, it makes The Plant retrigger face cards, instead of debuffing them

#

The mod is very early in development, but i'm quite ambitious, and have a lot of plans, so stay tuned!

#

Feel free to make suggestions too!

#

adding score directly is a really interesting concept i haven't seen before. factoria is a fun concept too. excited to see where this goes

tired copper
#

thank you!

dusk plinth
#

one really interesting thing about the warlock in particular is that it multiplies the same score from one hand to the next, so if you play multiple consecutive hands without discarding it compounds really quickly. that's a fun effect, saved my rn fr

Membership card I think it’s called

tired copper
#

That's like

#

Tens of thousands of chips though

#

stopwatch rarely ever goes above a few thousand

#

I'll take your suggestion into consideration though!

dusk plinth
#

I mean, warlock is still less overpowered than oil lamp or compound interest. There are a few rares in base cryptid that are better than most epics

#

I like it when it's unbalanced lol

#

Oh you were talking about stopwatch oops

#

Nevertheless

tired copper
#

mhm

#

warlock was rare originally

#

but i made it epic because I realized it can basically get to ante 8 almost on its own with very little help

dusk plinth
#

balatro really is an idle game after all

tired copper
#

it only really helps early though

Alternatively now that I think about it, a card called “stopwatch” sounds like it’d reward quicker play

still fulcrum

# tired copper perhaps

i will also say, art wise, you could put jimbo behind the hand or otherwise have the hand be well, jimbo's hand, alternatively you could reshape the entire thing to be like one of these novelty kitchen timers in the shape of jimbo

#

not a bad idea

#

this sprite art is actually kinda bad

#

i was gonna make it animated

#

but decided id do that later

languid niche
#

heh have it track the actual time related to it's effect?

tired copper
#

looping at 60

#

too hard though

languid niche
#

honestly i would be surprised if there's isn't maybe some open source animation of a clock you might be able to nick

#

and bodge that into it

#

i imagine you'd just make the hand and the rest of the clock seperate pieces of art

#

and then rotate it

tired copper
#

perhaps

languid niche
#

vs manually hard animating all 60 frames

tired copper
#

yall

New release

#

Exadversum is currently in beta and only supports a few boss blinds

#

but is fully playable and stable

tired copper
#

forgot to mention but exadversum supports the clock, the manacle, the wall, the shard, the club, the window, the goad, the head, the plant, and the serpent as of now

#

every boss blind that isn't supported is disabled (kinda)

vast pine
#

When can anomaly be used

tired copper
vast pine
#

ohh okay, would have never gotten that

tired copper
#

every tarot is planned to have it's own unique effect though

vast pine
#

Like this?

tired copper
#

anomalous hermit is a direct replacement to the scrapped "centurio" exotic, and anomalous judgement is able to create worldbending jokers (of which there are currently only one)

tired copper
vast pine
#

but use not worky worky

tired copper
#

yeah its a bit broken when you get it from spectral packs

#

I'll have a fix out very soon

#

it should work in your consumable tray though

#

sorry about that

#

coding consumables is a massive pain

vast pine
#

ahh its all good, dont matter as long as things get reported its bridge under the water

tired copper
#

yep!

#

#

ty*

#

hope you enjoy the rest of the mod, though!

vast pine
#

I am, had a funny situation with misprint deck and your joker that gives chips based on seconds, it have 1.9e20 chips per seconds game was open xdd

tired copper
#

LOL

#

I love misprint deck

A more balanced variant of this could be the digits of your score you win is added as a mult

tetration is very powerful

dusk plinth

i don't even know what these numbers mean

boreal bridge
#

it means the number is big

dusk plinth
#

insert morgan freeman true gif here

tired copper
#

actually

#

lemme find the guide for # notation

#

this probably doesnt help much

#

basically

#

the less you understand the symbols the higher the number

#

lmao

#

for those who've encountered blackleg going into the negatives when retriggered, this should be fixed now

#

(remember to update by downloading from code -> download zip)

#

i encountered this bug during testing when i used blueprint on it, so i made it not blueprint compatible, however i neglected to test retriggers lmao

vast pine
#

Blackleg gave me -Naninf xdd

oh nice, the +score concept is pretty fun

vast pine
#

@tired copper Hey I made a repo with all the mods i use in my vids because people kept asking, and one of the mods I use is yours, is it aight with you, just checking in!

tired copper
#

ofc!!

tired copper
#

We now have a concepting sheet, anyone can edit, so please stay civil!

#

you may add your own suggestions, but please don't touch anyone else's

dusk plinth
#

i hope you don't mind if i make a couple suggestions even though i'm not really a programmer

#

it was fun to look over the spreadsheet for a bit

tired copper
lavish dirge
#

im boutta get so uncivil

proper bridge
#

😭

rugged dew
tired copper
#

make sure you get it from code -> download zip instead of releases

dusk plinth
#

one quick thing, +score type jokers for secret poker hands really shouldn't show up in the shop until you play them. i keep seeing the +score jokers for ultimate pair and bulwark when my deck really isn't set up for that, and you see them a lot since they're common

tired copper
#

ill see what i can do

dusk plinth
#

thanks

rugged dew
tired copper
#

mhm!

tired copper
#

massive update before end of week stay tuned

#

nerfing stopwatch too bc someone left their pc on overnight to scale it

dusk plinth
#

lol i guess that works

#

excited to see it!

wide fox
#

Crashed instantly the first time I tried to run balatro after putting astronomica in my mods folder

tired copper
# wide fox help pls

make sure cryptid is updated, get it from code -> download zip instead of releases

wide fox
#

Will do, thank you

tired copper
#

New update released!

#

or else it wont work

#

theres still some minor stuff needed (animating runic deck, tweaking credits) but most of the important stuff is here

#

also yeah, new deck added! for those who want to try out the new Empyrean jokers without dealing with doe or the finicky anomaly card

#

(however, one of the "new" Empyreans, radalingr, has a rework pending, due to it's effect being extremely boring)

vast pine
#

is this an older version of smods

tired copper
tired copper
#

this should work with all your mods but it's not a long term solution

#

hopefully in the next week or two the feature used in this version of smods gets added to the main branch and this won't be necessary anymore

#

ive tried directly asking them about it

tired copper
#

i am attempting to implement a better alternative to requiring the custom smods version

#

but its giving me a lot of trouble

#

bear with me plz y'all

dusk plinth
#

no worries. trying the new update now, love the new empyrean jokers

#

kinda threw me off at first how asgard also counts itself for upgrading based on triggers

tired copper
#

lmao yeah

tired copper
#

heya yall i updated the mod

#

Fonts don't work for now but at least the mod launches

#

im gonna try to fix it asap

#

anyways yall should try the new Runic deck

#

(though keep in mind Radalingr is gonna be reworked soon because i find the effect slightly underwhelming)

#

also, there's some bugs with stopwatch, sorry about that

#

oh yeah you do NOT need a custom smods anymore either

#

you can just use the latest smods from their github

vast pine
#

new deck drop?!?!?!?!

#

do I need to use the smods you got?

tired copper
vast pine
#

FUCK YEAH ASTRONOMICA IS BACK BABY

tired copper
#

fonts are temp disabled for now though

#

but they should be working properly soon

vast pine
#

fonts?

#

oh you mean you can change fonts of balala

tired copper
# vast pine fonts?

empyrean jokers are supposed to look like this, with Old Norse runes in their title, that's what the custom smods was for, but i disabled this so that people could actually use the mod without needing that custom version of smods, I'm currently working on a fix to make the fonts work again, but i haven't been able to figure it out yet

vast pine
#

Ohhh, i get it, yeah its a shame, they do add a cool design layer

dusk plinth
#

heheheh

Screenshot_2025-05-25_140850.png
#

i'm gonna get the high score

tired copper
#

if you go a minute without clicking it starts to count down

dusk plinth
#

what if i leave an autoclicker clicking once every 59 seconds

tired copper
#

but you can do that if you want i suppose

tired copper
#

i reverted the stopwatch changes earlier btw

#

so y'all can abuse it's mechanics to your heart's desire

#

😭

#

just know you're not intended to exploit it by afking it

#

lmao

vast pine
#

asgard huh

tired copper
#

lmao

dusk plinth
#

are there plans for the irradiated edition to function on playing cards, or is it just for jokers?

tired copper
#

uhh

#

ill fix that soon yeah

tired copper
#

runes are FINALLY working on smods main

dusk plinth
#

oh nice glad that's squared away

tired copper
#

I'm trying to figure out editions on playing cards but it's weird

tired copper
#

Some new exciting stuff here!

#

I changed radalingr to be a bit less boring, and added a new joker, Alfheim!

dusk plinth
#

oh, cool! a lot of the best modded jokers don't really care about suits as much and just provide strong unconditional effects. building around alfheim will be really interesting

tired copper
#

^^^382747274 mult or whatever with no interesting condition or second effect is boring

fiery panther
#

nvm i fixed it :D

tired copper
#

mhm!

#

for anyone else getting this crash, update smods

tired copper
#

we have a server now

potent moat
tired copper
potent moat
#

i am like 90% sure that it's the latest version, and i think the problem is with AIJ beacuse when i have it but not astronomica it says i don't have the latest smods when i do, i literally downloaded it less than an hour ago

tired copper
#

hm

#

yeah I'm not sure

potent moat
#

can now confirm that is absolutely not the case. updated cryptid to the one on the github literally right now, same error, same false reporting of not having the right smods

#

every single time i've tried to play AIJ there's been a bug i think this is a sign to stop trying

#

like not a minor "joker doesn't work" bug like genuinely i cannot start the game for any reason

tired copper
#

yeah i don't understand

tired copper

#

Using gateway with midgard just straight up crashes my game, any ideas on why this is happening?
