Ascender's Sandbox

Version 2.0 - full rewrite for the current game

Rebuilt from scratch for game version 0.107.1. Now uses BaseLib and the game's own screens. Every setting is off (vanilla) by default: turn on only what you want.

Requires BaseLib 3.4.7 or newer. The BaseLib file here on Nexus can be older: get the latest from BaseLib on GitHub or the Steam Workshop.

• Vanilla search, filters and sorting, plus an "Only in Loadout" filter and a deck panel showing your current loadout.
• Presets: save and load as many loadouts as you like.

Upgrading from 1.x

• Delete the old mod folder from your mods folder first (the one with mod_manifest.json / config.json). Version 1 no longer works on the current game.
• Settings now live in Mod Configuration instead of a Sandbox settings tab.
• Travel Backwards became Free Travel. Cards drawn is now a bonus on top of the normal draw. Starting HP / gold / energy have their own on/off toggles. Prevent Gold Loss no longer makes shops free.
• Decks saved with version 1 are not imported. Rebuild them in Starting Loadout and save them as presets.

Multiplayer

Settings are per player. Everyone in the lobby needs the mod, the same version and the same settings, or the run can desync.
