Astrological Signs

Description
This mod will no longer receive updates. Play Furtherance instead!
This is a mod that adds six new astrology themed items to the game! Three treasure and three planetarium. Let's get into what the items do.

Ophiuchus
+0.4 Tears up, +0.3 Damage up, +1 Soul Heart, and tears move in waves and are spectral.

Chiron
+0.2 Speed up. Entering a new floor will give a random mapping effect. Entering a boss room will trigger a random book effect.

Juno
+1 Soul Heart. Tears that hit an enemy have a chance to chain down the nearest enemy for 5 seconds, preventing them from moving.

Pallas
Tears bounce off the floor after floating for a short time, cause splash damage on every bounce, and increases tear size by 20%.

Ceres
+0.5 Damage up. Tears that hit an enemy have a chance to cause the player to produce green creep. Enemies that walk over that creep will be slowed and a tentacle will attack them, and enemies attacked by the tentacle will be slowed.

Vesta
+50% Damage up. Tears become extremely small, spectral and slightly transparent. Tears have a chance to split into 4 tears.


Item Pools
Treasure Room - Ophiuchus, Chiron, Juno
Planetarium - Pallas, Ceres, Vesta


Includes full EID and Encyclopedia support

Is this compatible with andromeda items of the same names?

thats not what i meant, i was more saying the nerfs i was trying made the items too weak. i never thought of the idea for a cooldown though, ill definitely do that.

Way too weak relative to what?
Vesta is a straight 50% damage increase. That alone is a huge benefit. Splitting the projectiles on top of that is basically another damage multiplier.

Think of it this way. If you do 10 damage with one tear and pick up vesta your damage goes to 15 but it also can potentially hit 12 times.. 12x15 jumps the damage to 180...
This is really overpowered.

And Juno permanently locks bosses. It should, in no way, be able to reapply its chain while bosses are already chained. Maybe make the cooldown on it 10s so there is 5s of downtime between chains. You might think this is too big a nerf but the thing is absurdly powerful right now.

yeah ive been trying to figure out how to nerf them, its either becomes way too strong or way to weak

Juno and vesta are problematic.
Juno is way too powerful. Getting it is basically an instant win against all bosses.
Vesta causes so many projectiles on screen with certain combos that it makes incredible lag..

Solutions:
Juno has a 15s timer before it can activate its effect again.
Vesta should have a small chance to split and the number of split trars should be a hard 4. It breaks stuff having them split into up to 12...
