This mod adds the "Jackpot" ability inspired by Kinji Hakari from Jujutsu Kaisen.
It is a really rough work-in-progress, I simply wanted to see how the idea would be received so far. Currently, you can only obtain the ability via the Character Editor or dev mode (Add the ability "Jackpot"). This ability is translated into Rimworld so there is no domain expansion and I will not be adding one because they don't fit well at all in Rimworld. Bugs are expected so please let me know if any pop up.
Dependencies:
- Royalty
How the Ability Works:
- Activate Jackpot with a 2-second warmup. This grants the "Jackpot" hediff.
- While active:
- Functionally immortal (Vaporization now kills you)
- Gains: enhanced movement & melee speed, reduced stagger, no pain, disables hunger/sleep/mood, extremely fast regeneration
- regeneration: heals most bad and neutral ailments, regrows limbs, resurrects, and heals even when dead
- Fatigue is applied based on your neural heat amount:
- Ranges from 100% to 20% added upon activating jackpot
- Fatigue recovery begins when the user is not in their jackpot state
- Cooldown:
- Always added at 100%
- Melee combat reduces cooldown faster
- No action: recovers naturally over 2 in-game days
Fatigue Thresholds:
- 100-150%: Psychic Hangover (this MAY be changed to psychic breakdown)
- 150-200%: Brain Damage (applied after Jackpot ends)
- Brain damage reduces next Jackpot duration to 30 seconds
In-coming Features:
- Aura during Jackpot
- Post-Jackpot RNG modifiers (reduced cooldown, fatigue bonuses, etc. after jackpot ends)
- Sacrifice hands for a second life (out of jackpot)
- Missing hands increases startup time significantly (can be all the way up to 4 minutes)
- Being able to activate the ability while downed
This ability is attrition based, the limits of the cooldown and fatigue are balancing features to create a push and pull dynamic. This means you must fight the cooldown and work for your jackpot, and you must strategize with fatigue. At a higher neural heat (60) you can spam roughly 5 jackpots back to back, but you will eventually be forced to make strategic decisions on when, and how you use your jackpot. You aren't immortal, and you can very much so be killed. Even jackpot won't save you from complete vaporization.
