autonomous navigation

tech: autonomous navigation - drones travel with you through levels and drones reset durability
tech: technical debt - increase damage by 300%, but reduce damage by 10% for each tech you have

molecular assembler now has a higher bullet spawn cap 200->300
  but it increases energy cost per spawn above around 150

fragments are about 15% fewer
thermal runaway is about 40% bigger and more damage
plasma torch: extruder uses less energy
pilot wave uses less energy

-railgun buffs
+molecular assembler now has a higher bullet spawn cap 200->300
-  600% -> 800% more ammo
+  but it increases energy cost per spawn above around 150
-  more dense (more damage)
-  only targets mobs when pressing down
-  does a bit of damage to nearby mobs after you fire
-    extra damage to mob bullets
 
-pneumatic hammer renamed caliber
+fragments are about 15% fewer
-  also applies to super balls
+thermal runaway is about 40% bigger and more damage
-  5% less size increase per stack
+plasma torch: extruder uses less energy
-
+pilot wave uses less energy
-pure science and unified field theory have a pause animation to show they are clickable
