Burn Stacking – v0.7.1

Burn Stacking: Unleash the Inferno in Brotato

Prepare to set the battlefield ablaze with the Burn Stacking mod for Brotato! This modification fundamentally alters how burn damage works, allowing for truly explosive damage potential and a fresh strategic layer for your runs.

The Power of Stacked Flames

Tired of burn damage feeling like a mere tickle? The Burn Stacking mod empowers you to combine multiple sources of burning effects, creating a devastating inferno that will melt through even the toughest alien hordes. Whether it’s your weapons, turrets, summons, or even specific items, all contributing to a singular, ever-growing stack of burning misery for your foes.

Enhanced Burn Mechanics

This mod introduces a host of improvements and new mechanics centered around the burn status effect:

• Universal Stacking: All sources of burn damage, from various weapons and abilities to summoned units, can now stack with each other.
• Sacred Sausage Synergy: A particularly interesting addition is the Sacred Sausage, which can enable non-burning weapons to develop their own burn stacks, opening up new build possibilities.
• Self-Stacking Weapons: Certain weapons have been designed to stack burn damage with themselves, amplifying their innate fiery power.
• Character Balance: Characters with fewer weapon slots receive improved burn scaling, ensuring they aren’t left behind in the pursuit of maximum damage output.
• Vanilla Weapon Revamp: Classic burning weapons like the Torch, Wand, Flaming Knuckles, and Flamethrower have been rebalanced with individual scaling, some of which increases with weapon tier.
• Modder Friendly: For aspiring mod creators, the included `burning_data.gd` file provides tools to customize scaling, spread, and stacking values for their own creations.
• Visual Flair: Enjoy the satisfaction of seeing your burn damage stack up with distinct, colored burning text.

Strategic Depth and Balance

The Burn Stacking mod isn’t just about raw damage; it introduces significant strategic depth. Deciding which weapons and abilities to combine for maximum burn effect becomes a key part of your run. The mod also includes thoughtful balancing adjustments, such as allowing burn stacks to spread to new targets and then potentially back to the original, creating a dynamic and chaotic battlefield. The developer is actively seeking feedback on balance, so your suggestions can help shape the future of this fiery mod!
