Probe Roulette

It seems the Nomai like to play pranks.

Adds a configurable chance for the orbital probe cannon to either fire directly at you or your ship starting at loop #7.

Video demonstration

Install

The easiest way is through Outer Wilds Mod Manager:

1. Open the manager and install OWML if prompted.
2. Search for Probe Roulette in Get Mods and install it. If it isn't listed yet, download the mod ZIP from the latest release and use the manager's option to install from a ZIP file.
3. Launch the game through the manager.

For a manual install on Windows, close the game and extract the mod ZIP into:

%APPDATA%\OuterWildsModManager\OWML\Mods\Depthbomb.ProbeRoulette

Make sure manifest.json sits directly in that folder, then launch through the mod manager.

Settings

You can change the launch chance, first eligible loop, target, death type, and player-hit radius in the mod settings. The chance field shows the current percentage; select it to enter a number from 0 to 100 (decimals work too). For testing, set the chance to 100% and pick Player or Ship. A bigger hit radius makes near misses count, too.

This is a beta. Other mods and unexpected movement can throw off the aim. If something looks wrong, turn on Log closest approach and include the [Probe Roulette] log lines when reporting it.

Building

With the .NET 10 SDK, Outer Wilds, and OWML installed:

.\Install.ps1

That builds, runs the checks, and installs the mod. Add -PackageOnly to just make the release packages. Custom install locations can be passed with -GamePath and -OwmlPath.
