refractory metal

extruder:
  new tech: refractory metal - increase extruder damage radius
  fixed extruder graphics bug, and collisions bug
  dynamical systems and discrete optimization are allowed with plasma torch
    (although I nerfed them both just a bit)

irradiated nails: 90% damage spread over 2s -> 3s
  same total damage, but it takes 1 second longer
toggling harpoon: 6x -> 8x damage
  also the graphic effect is more obvious
slasher mobs will grow their sword at the farthest vertex from the player

-  nerf a few of the most overpowered gun tech
-  make more gun tech apply to multiple guns
-  after picking up a gun tech open a menu with just gun tech for that gun?
-    but then the player never gets to try the vanilla version of the gun
