Fool's Goldmines

Description
Adds an extra chance for Fool's Gold rocks to spawn in Mines and Ashpit. An attempt to make chapter 2.5 more enticing for regular runs by adding a chance for some extra coins, as well as being thematically fitting for the floor.

I think I've balanced the spawn rates pretty well, but feedback is still much appreciated! You can also tweak them easily in the main.lua if you want.


Credits
Big thanks to KingBobson, who revised the mod's code and fixed many of the known issues. Additional thanks to MrSeemsGood for the original rock replacement code from his Blessed Rock mod, and bethanw10, who helped a bunch with solving some sprite issues I had.

hey so apparently this is already a vanilla thing? https://x.com/FactsIsaac/status/1804581298801111170

Broken while using t.keeper, I feel it would be more balanced if there was a chance for enemies appearing when breaking the gold mines.

Good idea but spawn rate is pretty insane to the point you can max out your coins in my experience.

I liked the mod idea when I saw it but I appreciate it even more now because it saved my t.Keeper run

I really like this idea because it encourages you to press on and not R if you get otherwise pretty mediocre items (Pickaxe, Boom, Leo, etc.) because just the utility of breaking rocks makes them much more useful if you can buy a few items later on thanks to them.

Still, I'd like to know if this also affects the mines / ashpit. These should probably also have an increased chance for minerals (because it makes sense), but it'd be neat to have an incentive to not take the alt path and just go to caves. Maybe you could get valuable runes and soulstones in caves and gold in the alt path?

That's beyond my modding knowledge unfortunately.
If you wanna adjust the percentage chances manually, you can do it pretty easily by changing the values on line 12 and 16 in the mod's main.lua file (game folder/mods/foolsgoldmines_2568315232/)

Would it be possible to make this compatible with the config mod?

@DamageMaximo I think this is a perfectly reasonable addition. Downpour/Dross is worth going to on non-Corpse runs due to all the extra room drops and boss items that can potentially be obtained in the Mirror World, while Mausoleum/Gehenna lets you essentially skip Womb/Utero 1's annoying lack of special rooms. Mines is just kinda there, the only thing you can get there that you can't get elsewhere is Knife Piece 2, for the knife familiar - which is nice, but not generally worth the trouble on its own.
