Bountiful Basins

Bountiful Basins: Injecting Chaos into Noita’s Holy Mountains

Tired of the predictable puddles that greet you in Noita’s Holy Mountain portals? The Bountiful Basins mod aims to shake up your familiar runs with a much-needed dose of unpredictability. This modification introduces a dynamic system for the liquid basins found within these sacred spaces, transforming them from static elements into exciting, and potentially perilous, encounters.

A World of New Possibilities

No longer will you consistently find the same few liquids. Bountiful Basins replaces the game’s default, hardcoded selections with a weighted pool drawing from a vast majority of the liquids available in Noita. This means each visit to a Holy Mountain could present a unique challenge or opportunity. Some basins might offer beneficial substances to aid your quest, while others could unleash hazardous materials that demand quick thinking and skillful evasion.

Enhanced Encounter Rates

Beyond diversifying the liquid types, Bountiful Basins also significantly increases the likelihood that a basin will be filled at all. The chance for a basin to contain liquid has been boosted from a modest 10% to a more substantial 25%. This amplified frequency ensures you’ll encounter these altered basins more often, leading to more varied and engaging gameplay experiences across your Noita expeditions.

Key Features and Customization

Bountiful Basins offers more than just random liquid spawns. Its core strength lies in its deep configurability, allowing you to tailor the mod to your precise preferences.

• Dynamic Liquid Spawns: Replaces fixed liquids with a weighted selection from most in-game materials.
• Increased Basin Fill Rate: Boosts the chance of a basin being filled from 10% to 25%.
• Player-Driven Difficulty: Adjust the weights of individual liquids in the mod options menu to influence the challenge.
• Mod Compatibility: Designed to work with custom materials from other mods, which default to a 0 weight unless manually adjusted.

The default settings are fine-tuned to make most seeds slightly more challenging while also opening the door for some seeds to become easier. However, by delving into the mod’s options, you possess the power to dramatically alter the difficulty, making your runs significantly easier or considerably harder according to your desired level of peril.

Compatibility and Licensing

This mod strives for broad compatibility, including with custom materials from other modifications. It is generally compatible with most other Noita mods, even those that alter biome generation. Users should be aware that specific features might interact with other mods, such as Fairmod’s similar functionality, depending on the load order.
