bulk modulus

grapple goes 40% farther before it retracts automatically
grapple now works well with fire delay reduction
  or it's annoying, you decide!
smelting cost more ammo as you increase stacks

grappling hook tech: bulk modulus - immune to harm while grappling, but drain a bit of energy

particle collider renamed pure science - and it gives 1 research instead of energy when it fails: 4% chance

-grappling hook - small quality of life improvements
+grapple goes 40% farther before it retracts automatically
-  about 30% larger, and a new shape (does more damage as a result)
+grapple now works well with fire delay reduction
-  continues past mobs after hitting them instead of retracting
+  or it's annoying, you decide!
-  pulls faster even at close range
+smelting cost more ammo as you increase stacks
-  sticks into walls more reliably
-  returns to you when you let go of fire, even when stuck
-  loses ammo less often
-  drains energy as it pulls
 
-JUNK tech: Mech v4.48 - open a portal to a primordial version of reality (an old scratch game I wrote)
+grappling hook tech: bulk modulus - immune to harm while grappling, but drain a bit of energy
-JUNK tech: harvest - convert all the mobs on this level into ammo
-pause menu stats are a bit different
 
+particle collider renamed pure science - and it gives 1 research instead of energy when it fails: 4% chance

 grappling hook
-  fire delay reduction doesn't have much effect
-  tech:  give harm immunity while being pulled?
-    make not stack with alternator?  so no energy regen
-  tech: give no collisions, like boson composite while attached to harpoon
-    make not stack with alternator?  so no energy regen
-    this was annoying to code, but probably doable
   draw the hook part directly
     two backwards angled spikes near the front
   give player more control over motion while hanging and retracting
     reduce friction effects so player swing around?
     up down left right push player around?
     scale velocity dampening with distance to grapple?
+    make a variable to track rope length?
 
 tech that does less damage the more tech you have?
   tech.totalCount
