Backpack Hero Plus

@Leonardo It should read: "When out of uses, becomes active", will look into it. If the shield does damage to you instead of adding block then that might be a problem with the game itself since I haven't given it this effect and while testing I couldn't reproduce the problem.
The only shield that has varying stats over the course of a battle is the Fast Shield, so perhaps the game is confusing the two? It is also entirely possible that another mod's causing this problem. You should look into that if you do have more than one mod installed.

@Emtu It will be gone by next update. It was initially supposed to be a relic months ago that would make you invulnerable, but would cost you money, either you wouldn't gain any at the end of fights if you had taken damage or it would subtract money for each HP you would have lost.
After 4 different iterations over the same concept, this item still won't work - I will probably have to ask on the forum how to fix it.

I'm not sure what the Insurance item is trying to do, but its description is pretty broken. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3049971988

I've tried the Screw, and yup, first use anchors it and second use just breaks it, I got the Tempest Shield now though, and it's not working properly (I think). It says:
"When out of uses.
Error: Description for modifier could not be generated. Please add a description manually".
And when I use it, it does dmg to me, and as turns pass, it does even more. The weak on all enemies, added block (this one for the first turn only) and energy removal does work correctly. The damage it does varies. From 0.123 (wrote random number, forgot the decimals) to 3.6, 5.1, 8.1, 8.6, etc. No idea exactly what increases it.
Unless the "When out of uses" that throws an error has anything to do with the dmg taken, that ones is bugged.

The screw works as intended (most of the time), but the more likely outcome when you use is it breaks and you lose it permanently. Only in some edge cases this did happen during testing, so this should work fine.

I wanted this item to have a 2-states effect like the tragicomedy shield, but it's not possible as of now, so I had to improvise. That is why the description is all jumbled-up, but nothing to worry about.

You use it once to get it anchored and that effect doesn't ever run out, but if you get tired of it you can click it again and it will be un-anchored and return back to normal.

For now I've gotten the Winged Boots, the Sword that gets x2 from all dmg changes and the Screw. Screw aside, so far so good, the Sword and a whetstone carried me through early game :P. The screw has problems on the description though, I'm not entirely sure what it does. With it saying that it'll permanently anchor on use, even if it says that the slot will count as empty, I didn't want to risk using it so no idea if using it is bugged too.

All right, this has been updated. You may need to refresh the mod to see any change.

To refresh the mod you must enable debugging in the mod menu, then Ctrl-D in-game, select Backpack Hero Plus from the drop down (if you have multiple mods installed) and finally click on "Reload + Respawn", be warned that this will remove all forge upgrades from every modded item.

Alternatively, Ctrl-S get another Riot Sword and discard the one you're currently holding.

Thank you for the bug report, I'm gonna get this fixed immediately.
Check back soon, I'll post an update when it's done.

When initially testing this item it would correctly target the enemy which's strange.

The uh, riot sword hurt me whenever I used it.

That is not actually an item from this mod. I'm assuming it is either from Farland Dwellings or that gem expansion mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3021722007

The closest item with an effect like this are the plates which don't substract Block, in fact, they add more of it. To see what items my mod has you can enable debugging and then Ctrl + S during a run to see a list of items in the game. From that menu, select which mod you want to see items from, it defaults to "All".

What buzzwords?
