2 years ago Interesting, this could definitely be an issue with the randomization system, but it is worth mentioning that there are some “duplicate” status effects and characters (for example I know there are at least 2 different buffs that give invisibility, and void barnacles have 3 different “variants” that are very similar), I’m not aware of any of these “duplicates” for projectiles though.
Either way, I will look into this, thank you very much for the report :)

I'm noticing a lot of similarities between runs. With how many different entities, projectiles and status effects there are in the game, I suspect that the method of randomisation is biased or bleeds into other runs to some degree. Examples: 1 run where Engi turrets became Void Barnacles, 1 run where Void Barnacles shot Gummy spawners, and 1 run with both (the latter two slowed the game to a crawl) 2 runs where Engi turrets became Mithrix, only a few runs apart 3 runs where Engi's primary became Void Fiend Flood 3 runs where Shurikens gave invisibility 2 runs where Shurikens gave the Super Massive Leech buff 1 run where Beetle Queen's Beetle Guards became Mithrix, and in the next run a Beetle Guard Horde of Many became Mithrix 1 run where Lemurians shot this projectile, and in the next run Engi's primary was that same projectile
