[b]This mod introduces several voodoo artifacts and objects, each with its own strange and unsettling abilities.[/b]
Ressources :
[b]Infused Jade[/b] - Base material used to craft all items in the mod.
Refined from jade at a ratio of 10 jade to 1 infused jade, using the Voodoo Stove.
[b]Jade Distillate[/b] - A liquid and highly flammable form of infused jade, used to fuel various tools and devices. After researching Biofuel Refining, the Distillate Alembic can produce 25 units of Jade Distillate from 25 chemfuel and 1 Infused Jade.
[b]Soul Extract[/b] - The tireless work of the greatest Voodoo Masters has led to a breakthrough in the dark arts: soul extraction!
From now on, even the most controversial practitioners can draw the soul from a recently deceased person (within 12 hours) and, with a bit of alchemy, turn simple pebbles into perfectly viable Infused Jade.
Requires the Soul Injector.
Buildings :
[b]Voodoo Stove[/b] - A ritual furnace infused with ancestral magic, used to transform raw jade into infused jade.
[b]Distillate Alembic[/b] - This workbench allows the transformation of Infused Jade into Jade Distillate. Requires the Biofuel Refining research
[b]Voodoo Torch[/b] - An infused‑jade torch providing eerie illumination to any ritual chamber worthy of the name.
Thanks to new jade‑infusion techniques perfected by the greatest Voodoo Masters, this torch can now detect movement and switch itself on or off accordingly. Progress is wild…
[b]Voodoo Workbench[/b] - A workbench stocked with the proper tools for crafting authentic Voodoo artifacts. Charlatans try their luck at the Art Table, but they’re just pretending; real voodoo work happens here.
[b]Voodoo Sphere (Require Odyssey)[/b] - A hollow stone shell fitted with salvaged reactors and a cramped cabin—perfect for showing up on your enemies’ doorstep to curse them in person. Expensively crafted from stone, metal, and infused jade… obviously. And since Jade Distillate also powers the whole thing, make sure to plunder those damned savages while you’re at it…
Available for crafting in the Odyssey tab after completing the Biofuel Refining and Voodoo Sphere research (found under the “Voodoo” branch of the tech tree).
[b]Jade Power Generator[/b] - The product of the latest breakthroughs in voodoo technology, this generator produces a substantial amount of energy by channeling the magic emanating from a large fragment of Infused Jade. Although efficient, it still occasionally requires Jade Distillate as fuel.
Requires Electricity research.
[b]Jade Power Cell[/b] - This is the very first attempt to generate electricity using Infused Jade. The output is modest, but the magical power fueling it can last for many months.
Requires Electricity research.
[b]Jade Air Regulator[/b] - After long hours spent freezing their toes off through harsh winters and sweltering during heat waves, the now‑famous voodoo engineers have finally perfected this techno‑magical device.
They can now devote more of their time to obscure research and curses, which is good for everyone… or maybe not.
The Infused Jade powering the machine is capable of lasting several years. Requires Air Conditioning research.
Artifacts :
[b]Voodoo Charm[/b] - A magical necklace that shields its wearer and punishes anyone foolish enough to attack them. Requires infused jade, leather, and one human heart (don’t ask me why, that’s Grandma’s recipe…).
[b]Voodoo Doll[/b] - A ritual tool granting a devastating special ability, powered by infused jade, silver, cloth… and a fresh corpse. Human, ideally. The spirits are picky.
[b]Cursed Skull[/b] - A soul‑piercing weapon carved from a human skull and powered by infused‑jade magic. It fires a salvo of four projectiles, each striking a random target within a 5‑tile radius. If only one target is present, it takes all four shots. A nasty little beast…
[b]Voodoo Spear[/b] - A… spear (yes, shocking) that sometimes leaves tiny shards of infused jade inside the target on impact. After a short delay, these shards detonate and wreak havoc on the victim’s internal organs.
[b]Voodoo Beam[/b] - This devastating technomagical weapon unleashes a superheated beam capable of scorching metal, stone, flesh, and even the soul. It requires a steady supply of Jade Distillate. Available after researching Biofuel Refining.
[b]Sacrificial Knife[/b] - Each humanoid soul claimed is bound within the blade. When the wielder draws upon a soul, they may heal their wounds or channel its anguish into an enemy.
[b]Voodoo Musket[/b] - This powerful rifle propels shards of semi-solid Jade Distillate that rupture upon impact, coating nearby targets with its corrosive substance. It requires a steady supply of Jade Distillate. Available after researching Biofuel Refining.
[b]Voodoo Trick Bag[/b] - Made from 100% natural, plastic‑coated leather, this magnificent bag lets even the weakest or most cowardly colonist feel useful. Packed with all sorts of trinkets -magical or otherwise- it allows its wearer to fling vials, chicken feet, and other oddities at allies to grant various bonuses, support effects, and healing during combat. Outside of combat, it can also be used to scatter powders and charms to help colonists with their everyday tasks.
We even considered adding a couple of real medical tools in there. Lucky you…
[b]Voodoo Trinket[/b] - This amulet allows its wearer to walk the path of spirits at will. To do so, the spirits draw upon the magic infused in the jade pendant, which must therefore be replaced from time to time.
[b]Space Pills Bottle (Require Odyssey)[/b] - The masterpiece of voodoo engineering! With this little bottle in your pocket, you’ll never forget to take your anti‑vacuum pills again. Just don’t forget to refill it before heading into space...
Made on drug lab. Requires medical research.
[b]Soul Injector[/b] - This lightweight tool, worn on the belt, represents the latest in advanced voodoo‑tech engineering. It allows you to inject a Soul Extract directly into a target’s body, healing permanent wounds at the cost of a cumulative coma.
This little marvel can also serve as a deadly weapon, as injecting a soul into an enemy with excessive pressure is instantly fatal.
It can even be used to extract the soul from a fresh corpse.
Must be recharged with a Soul Extract after each use.
Requires Machinery research.
Drugs :
[b]Voodoo Powder[/b] - A drug crafted from powdered skull and infused jade, plunging its user into a deep mystical trance.
A colonist under its influence communes directly with Papa Legba and gains the ability to sever the lifeline of any hostile creature within 10 tiles of the chosen target.
This supernatural act-often invoked as a last resort by seasoned voodoo practitioners—exacts a heavy toll. When the trance ends, the colonist collapses into a five‑day coma. Rumor has it that when they wake up, their face is often covered in highly questionable "art" courtesy of their fellow colonists...
[b]Jade Rotshine[/b] - This delicious brew, concocted from psychoactive plants and jade distillate, is favored by practitioners of voodoo witchcraft. It can be addictive if overindulged… but that rarely stops anyone.
Made on drug lab.
[b]Space Pills (Require Odyssey)[/b] - This drug, while relatively dangerous in the long term, causes various adverse effects when ingested but nevertheless provides protection against vacuum exposure. Not recommended for pregnant women.
Made on drug lab. Requires medical research.
This mod began as a personal project, but I hope it offers an enjoyable experience to anyone who decides to try it.
French is my native language, so I’ll add a translation patch later on.
