Artifacts Rebalance 1.2
This mod changes artifacts properties for a more versatile gameplay.
Added a new tier system to make artifacts more randomized.
Description:
The main goal of the mod was to increase the variety of artifact properties. I tried to make a balance between useful, but at the same time dangerous artifacts. I mainly relied on the description of artifacts and their appearance.
Mod introduces new tier system. Now, every artifact in the game have 3 tiers: weak | medium | strong. Tier defines power of positive and negative buffs ( positive being stronger with each tier, negative being weaker with each tier )
You can always help me with the balance of the mod if you write reasonable arguments of what can be changed for the better!
Development of this mod has been stopped due to not having free time and till the releases of the modding tools. Last playable version is 1.01. It should work fine on next versions, but work is not guaranteed.
Files in use:
ItemPrototypes\ArtifactPrototypes.cfg
EffectPrototypes.cfg
ArtifactSpawnerPrototypes.cfg
How to install:
Before installing, remove all your artifacts from the belt and place them in the stash!

Issues:
If you are having blank artifacts, it’s a mod conflict!
Please note!
If you are using label version with tiers, some artifacts may show that they are dealing “weak” effect. That’s can’t be fixed easily, just compare artifacts prices. Labels for tiers version is here just because some people might find it more usable, but it’s not a supported main version, since differences between tiers not so huge to be reflected in labels (instead of numbers).
The better cost, the better effects!
