The goal of this patch is to address lower-level bugs, while also taking a look at some content changes and more long-standing bugs that have existed in RoR2.
Read up!
* Simulacrum
- Slightly updated visuals of Void Focus
- Now has an indicator for the Void Focus’ position
* Void Seeds
- 🌧 Now cap at a maximum of 3 per map
- 🌧 Spawn less frequently with Artifact of Sacrifice enabled
- 🌧 Spawn less frequently on top of you when starting a new stage
* Void Fiend
- 🌧 Corrupted skills are now lower priority than Heresy items, allowing Heresy items to override both versions of skills
* Goobo Jr.
- 🌧 Damage Bonus: +70% ⇒+200%
- 🌧 Health Bonus: +70% ⇒ +200%
- 🌧 Fix description in logbook being wrong
- Developer Notes: Goobo was designed to be +600%. It was +70%. +600% was actually waaay too strong when we fixed it, so we set it to a more reasonable value.
* Brittle Crown
- 🌧 No longer grants gold to the enemy who hits you while wearing the item (but still shows the visuals)
- Developer Notes: We thought it would be a cute behavior if when losing money from Brittle Crown, it granted that money to the attacker – for use in stuff like a Scavenger’s Crowd Funder. However, this resulted in you gaining all the money back when you killed the enemy, making Brittle Crown have (essentially) no downside.
* Ben’s Raincoat
- Rework behavior – Now has an internal cooldown of 5 seconds
- Now blocks 1 (+1 per stack) debuffs before going on cooldown
- Now grants 10% of your health as barrier when blocking a debuff
- Now has the ‘Healing’ tag
- No longer grants maximum health
- 🌧 No longer blocks non-timed debuffs, like Eclipse 8 and skills like Power Mode
- Developer Notes: Ben’s Raincoat was a very binary item, resulting in unsatisfying stacking behavior and frustrations when given to monsters (like in Simulacrum). The item also trivialized Eclipse 8. Now, it has a bit of downtime for when it can block debuffs – and since we didn’t want this to be just a net nerf, we also added a large barrier when blocking a debuff with the coat.
* Void Devastator
- Max Health: 2100 (+630 per level) ⇒ 2800 (+840 per level)
- Armor: 10 ⇒ 20
- Developer Notes: Despite being a boss monster, the Void Devastator had strangely low stats for its cost, especially when compared to same-cost monsters like the Imp Overlord
* Gup
- 🌧 No longer splits if killed from a ‘Void Death’, like from Lost Seer’s Lenses
- Voidtouched Gups and Geeps will now split into Voidtouched Geeps and Gips (respectively)
- Altered some planets in the Planetarium
- Updated Captain’s Defense Matrix log to be granted by playing Captain
- 🌧 Updated Shipping Request Form to be blacklisted for enemies
- 🌧 Updated inventories to work with more than 255 items for mods with many items
- 🌧 Made it easier for mods to register custom achievements
- 🌧 Updated localization to allow mods to properly utilize the system
- 🌧 Extended systems to support mods adding custom item tiers
- 🌧 Pluripotent Larva will no longer convert into items that are not available in the current run
- 🌧 Updated a deep pool in the Planetarium causing you to get stuck inside if you had no jump boosts
- 🌧 Updated Heretic to receive Heresy items, even if spawned from Goobo Jr, so it can use abilities
- 🌧 Fixed Korean language files having a malformed format, resulting in errors

- 🌧 Fixed Siphoned Forest being called Snowy Forest in the logbook
- 🌧 [!!SPOILER!!][spoiler]Fixed the frog not spawning a deep void portal[/spoiler]
- Fixed text for Blast Shower not clarifying that it also removes freezes and stuns
- 🌧 Fixed visible back faces in Siphoned Forest
- 🌧 Fixed Void Fiend’s Trespass continually playing the sound if you quit in the middle of the skill
- 🌧 Fixed Disposable Missile Launcher and Fireworks not triggering other missile effects, like AtG Missile and Plasma Shrimp
- 🌧 Fixed a few bugs with state-controlled debuffs (like Void Fiend’s Corrupted Flood) and Ben’s Raincoat causing those debuffs to be permanent
- 🌧 Fixed REX’s core position being lowered while sprinting, causing AI issues and some projectiles appearing in the floor while sprinting

- 🌧 Fixed Railgunner seeing her own Weak Points while Chaos is enabled
- 🌧 Fixed camera issues with Frost Relic while using Railgunner’s scopes or Mul-T’s Power Mode
