Improvement Mod Idea for the Sewing Machine Modding API
I just got this amazing idea! An Improvement at gives Trinket Familiars & Temporary Familiars their ability to be upgraded their ways!

Here's how they can be upgraded:
Trinket Familiars(Ex. Isaac's Head & ???'s Soul):
These familiars can only be upgrades once you have their respective trinket swallowed for smelted!
Note:The upgrades for those Examples are my ideas.
Example 1:Isaac's Head
Upgrade 1:DMG & Fire rate up
Upgrade 2:Fire rate up,shoots tears in 8 directions when the player takes damage.

Example 2:???'s Soul
Upgrade 1:DMG up,chance to shoot a powerful homing tear
Upgrade 2:Shoots 3 tears,gains its own fly orbital

Special Temporary Familiars(Ex. Pretty Fly Orbitals,Leprosy Body Parts,Bone Orbitals,Turret Pooters(From Brown Nugget) Familiars spawned from Active items,like Sprinkler,& the Familiars from Items from the Lost & Forgotten mod,such as Dead Womb,Enlightenment,& Schizophrenia):
These familiars can only be upgraded with the Sewing Box Active Item,or Ann's Pure Body & Tainted Head.
Example 1:Dead Womb Familiars
Upgrade 1:Shoots blood shots in 6 directions upon death
Upgrade 2:Size up, & 25% more hp. Shoots blood shots in 2 more directions upon death

Example 2:Pretty Fly Orbitals
Upgrade 1:DMG up
Upgrade 2:DMG + Size up

Example 3:Leprosy Body Parts
Upgrade 1:Has more HP,DMG up,Bursts into tears upon death
Upgrade 2:DMG up,chance to turn into a charmed Leper flesh enemy when entering an uncleared room. BFFs will give the charmed Leper flesh a random champion form.

What you think of this idea? If you like it or not(or so-so like it),let me know in the comments!

Dear cadetpirx, thank you for sharing what you've got in mind :)
First some familiars such as Leprosy works differently from "normal" familiars, ???'s Soul is a more standard familiar, but it is from a trinket so in a way it is also different. I think that can be a good thing though to buff them as well. But it will require lot of work (like for real, lot of work). So it is by far not a thing I will implement soon, but I can keep that in my head for a (far) future. I have so many standard familiars to do first, bug to fix as well and lots of Quality of Life things to enhance.
I have a long todo list for the next major update (it should be out before rep), so next update is already planed. After repentance, I'll work on familiars from the DLC, and maybe I'll have to fix things. So I can consider your idea but it'll be after those two updates :)

Ok then.
Yeah,I bet that's complicated to do a function for the Trinket familars,having to be smelted or swallowed in order to be upgraded. Along with Special Temporary Familars only being able to be upgraded with Ann's Pure Body & Tainted Head,and temporarly with Sewing Box. I'm sure that i'm thinking that's why It can literally take a lot of work,am I right?
