Description
The Card Printer allows you to turn spare active items into cards which retain their effects, basically you get a secondary active item like schoolbag, but it takes up a card slot instead of an active slot, doesn't need any charge and only works once.

Just double-tap TAB (or whatever your map button is) while near an active item on a pedestal and it will be turned into a card.

The generated cards work with Tarot Cloth, activating twice, as if you used the item with Car Battery.

This synergises with Blank Card, allowing you to use the active effect on the card multiple times without losing it.
If you find a good active item that uses a lot of charges you can turn it into a card and basically have it go down to 4 charges.
You could essentially have 3 active items at once by having card printer, schoolbag, 2 card slots and blank card.
And if you're lucky enough to have the card printer and blank card AND find a single-use item (like Diplopia) the effect can be used multiple times.
(though diplopia cards will be treated like jera runes and won't be duplicated by jera/diplopia/D1)

Try not to get little baggy, as it will replace the cards with random pills.


Something to note is that the icon displayed for the card while held can't automatically take your HUD offset into account.
To adjust it to match your HUD offset just open the console (by pressing ~) and type hudoffset X, where X is a number from 0 to 10.
(Or just use the Mod Config Menu)


As long as you have this mod installed you can spawn cards with the effect of any active item even without the printer item by using the console command "spawnactivecard ITEMIDNUMBER"


This is included in POTATO PACK 3.

awsome! as a retro gamer I love how the item looks! also wild card diplopia just got another new meaning

Would you consider adding a config for your mod to nerf the synergy with Tarot Cloth, since that item was modified to specifically effect actual Tarot cards and not all card types?

here's an idea, if possible: some sort of trinket constructor that makes passive items into droppable trinkets? im thinking the main appeal of this would be like. the ability for Mom's Box to synergize with them

yay
☢ Nato Potato ☢  [author] 26 Jan, 2019 @ 12:41am 
Yeah, it will work for modded active items
Sooski 26 Jan, 2019 @ 12:37am 
Yeah- it would be a good stroke of luck wouldn't it?

Due to the rarity, I don't think that the blank card shenanigans should be patched out (since they're also really op and fun lol).

Also, would this work with modded actives?

yeah its a powerful combo, but keep in mind you have to get the card printer AND blank card AND the active items, if you get all of them without cheating you're either pretty lucky or are already doing stuff to break the game and get lots of items or are manipulating the game targeting those items specifically, either way I can think of multiple game breaking combos that only need 2 items without even including mods so a 3 item combo doesn't seem so bad

Mega Blast/Delirious - OP item effect at 12 charges, fair

Blank Card + Mega Blast/Delirious cards - OP item effect at... 4 charges



Never change this mechanic please Nato

The Isaac community continues to surprise me with its endless creativity,
Just think about all the possibilities for this item... I can't think of anything but I'm sure you can do something cool with it...
