The Pilot

The Pilot introduces a new way to play. Unlike other characters, it cannot draw cards. Instead, it offers a new system: The ability to play the top card of your draw pile, as well as the option to Scry 4 to control what you play.

---

• Over 75 main cards with custom artwork (including beta art).
• 12 unique relics.
• 7 alternate versions of base relics, exclusive to the Pilot.
• 2 New potions + 1 alternate version potion.
• Tons of new VFX.
• Custom splash art, rest art, and ending art.
• A ton of token cards that appear during your runs (sorry for your compendium).

• New mechanic: The Pilot cannot draw, converting all drawing effects into energy.
• New Buttons: You can play the top card of your deck or Scry 4 at the cost of 1 energy.
• New Keywords: Discover Consumables, Charging, Capacity. As well as an alternate type of keyword, Triggers like Ejected or Echo.
• Augments: Permanently upgrade your character, adapting to your needs each run.
• Traits: Activate strong effects when holding cards sharing the same trait, the more you hold the stronger it gets, unique augments await if you manage to hold enough.
• Equipment: Cards that stay in your hand instead of discarding, reacting to your moves to trigger various effects, create chain events and try to maintain and repair them.
• Scrap: Play and permanently fuse them. Obtain 3 Scrap to create Modules to create prototypes who creates ??? .
• Eject: A new spin to the discard archetype with the combination of scry and the new eject cards, gain charge, cycle your deck and refill your energy.

Simplified chinese translation made by Tree2000, Thank you!

Special thanks to Esprite, Jords314, Phased Aurora and Rightasreine for testing and balance support. Thanks also to Ellie, Enbeon, EvelynTSMG, Maddii, Mistress Autumn, and the entire #modding-technical community for their help during development. Finally, thanks to Frost Prime for the inspiration for this mod with the "Can you beat STS without playing a single card?!".

All art was made by me but I want to be transparent that for some of the card art I used the base game and The Hermit Mod art as reference or pulled elements from it as shown in the example below. No AI tools were used.

There are three optional settings right now in the mod configuration

• Less custom particles and VFX. (Faster): If you have a lower end pc this can help by spawning less effects.
• More custom sounds, known to sometimes crash, mostly equipment. (EXPERIMENTAL) it has been reported multiple times the Unable to allocate audio buffers. AL Error: 40963 it is a hard to pinpoint bug, for now some sounds effects are locked behind this option.
• Scry button amount (DEFAULT 4, Dev tool for DEBUG) Changes the amount of the Scry button, mostly for debugging and testing features, you can set it to whatever you want but the intended experience was made for 4 as default.

Feedback and bug reports are always appreciated! Also english is not my native language, if you have feedback for better text clarity or typos it’s welcome. I’m also active in the StS Discord, you can find The Pilot channel on the modding forum. Please note: because of the Pilot’s unique mechanics, it may sometimes have limited compatibility with other modded content (and vice versa with other characters using Pilot cards).
