Powerful (WIP) - A Mod that Adds One Little Number

[frank drift]

Have you ever wondered what Balatro would be like if someone added an exponent on the chips? No? That's fine, I did it anyway.

Currently the Powerful mod adds:

• The Pow mechanic
• 16+ jokers
• Glow in the Dark card edition (+ a new Spectral to apply it)
• An overhaul to Green Stake that is more thematically cohesive with Pow
  with plans for plenty more!

This concept arose from a desire to add a fresh layer of strategy for players who are already very familiar with Balatro's core mechanics. Certain aspects of the game such as skipping blinds and chip builds felt a bit neglected, so hopefully this mod provides some fun new ways to play the game!

Please feel free to play and give me feedback, I'd love to hear what you think!

oh this is SICK

[lyric apex]

Damn…what peak mod have i come across

[placid kelp]

nice art too

[lyric apex]

I can tell

[nova sail]

I did basically the same thing in my unreleased mod lol
Guess that’s scrapped

[placid kelp]

Talisman incompat i see

[nova sail]

Just to clarify it’s not the whole mod, but just that mechanic

[uneven sundial]

Peak

[kindred tiger]

Mods can have the feature others have

No need to scrap it

[nova sail]

Nah it's fine

I only got the ui working by the time this released so

[frank drift]

For now, it's on the list though

[placid kelp]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fast pike]

Woah!! This seems really cool!!

Would you mind if I used the code as reference for making imaginary chips and mult? (Im making an imaginary deck :) + imaginary-ranked cards)

[frank drift]

go for it, that's what open source is for :)

[fast pike]

Yippie!!

Me when i have to score 17+3i chips

I will infact, make it compatible with this mod

(If you somehow get negative chips, and 0.5 pow, you gain ichips 😨)

[frank drift]

would be difficult, but possible, with Big Bluff

oh wait I switched Big Bluff to -mult nvm

[nova sail]

wait… does that mean we get iante

Where blind requirements are imaginary

[urban radish]

Hi I noticed the Geist Spectral card doesn't work properly. When I try to apply this to one of the cards in my hand, the game freezes.

[frank drift]

This should be fixed in the latest version. Sorry about that!

[lapis eagle]

insert cryptid joke here

cool mod

[fast pike]

"The Imaginer"
x2+2i base

[fast pike]

Putting this in my saved threads for later download :]

[uneven sundial]

Hello me from the past

I like this

I'm gonna download this when I can

Does this have any art?

Because I'd love to do some

[uneven sundial]

Oh yeah there is
And it's some good art too

[queen estuary]

Oh shit I think this mod has been abandoned. Chase is left

I’ll look into forking this and working on it when I get a chance

[uneven sundial]

Wait what

[uneven sundial]

Oh that's good

I really liked the idea

Sad it got abandoned by the original owner

[uneven sundial]

@queen estuary can i make a shader for this? i can make shaders and i already have one that could fit with this

[queen estuary]

Yeah that’d be great, I suvk at shaders

[uneven sundial]

oh and the tag for it

[queen estuary]

Yes

[uneven sundial]

or maybe that could be the edition sfx

[uneven sundial]

It actually didn't appear for some reason

[queen estuary]

NICE

[uneven sundial]

Wow so cool
It glows in the dark

[queen estuary]

Do you have the file?

[uneven sundial]

Wdym

[queen estuary]

To send to me

[uneven sundial]

The shader file?

[queen estuary]

The shader

https://github.com/RGBeet/Pacdam/tree/master

@uneven sundial

@fast pike

[uneven sundial]

?

[queen estuary]

I'm still reivisng the code base so it won't work right now, buuuutttt

That's my Powerful fork

[uneven sundial]

Okay then

Cool

!

[uneven sundial]

Actually the shader already exists in the mod
I think you just misunderstood

[queen estuary]

Oh

[uneven sundial]

Yep

It's a pow enhancement

[queen estuary]

Nice!!

[uneven sundial]

Bug and small

[wraith glade]

Why do jokers passively lose Power every round ? I feel like some mechanics should be explained

[uneven sundial]

?

Are you playing on green stake

Maybe that does it

Because there's a green stake rework in this mod

[wraith glade]

What's the rework ?

[uneven sundial]

What

Mine says "jokers decay over time"

[pine thistle]

uhh i don't think this should happen

[nova sail]

Reminds me of something that happened on my computer - the fabled misprinted misprint

[queen estuary]

Still working on my fork, it'll be released alongside the new update for Madcap soon.

And yes, it includes 2 new enhancements!

[uneven sundial]

Yahoo

Are one of them mine

[queen estuary]

Yes.

[pine thistle]

imagine xpow jokers

[uneven sundial]

Oh wow that would be cracked

And funny

[uneven sundial]

Imagine a cavensdish version of this

[pastel shoal]

peak

[sturdy moon]

Maybe

[balmy lion]

peak indeed

[uneven sundial]

I agree

There's just 1 problem

This mod is basically abandoned

[urban radish]

I don't get any exponent in my game? Don't know if this is because smods have been updated

[uneven sundial]

The mod is not only abandoned, but outdated.

That's why the box doesn't appear.

I tried it out myself
