rupture destroys blocks
autonomous defense renamed to CIWS
field emitter 6->4 base energy regen
tech: autonomous defense - harpoon tech that fires harpoons after taking damage
degenerate matter: 75->85% defense while field is active
neutronium: 90->95% defense while field is active
unified field theory no longer has field emitter as an option
after falling off most open maps you don't take damage
you fall down into the level again above the entrance
disabled smooth camera tracking for
portals
falling off map
added a once every 7 seconds check to see if the player is suck inside the map
if stuck you teleport to the level entrance
catches about 90% of the ways to get stuck from falling too fast
this might causing problems after more testing, not sure
bug fixes
new mob type: hopMother - hoppers that drop eggs that explode on contact and after several seconds they hatch into baby hoppers
regular hopper mobs have more life and more damage
a few bug fixes
on later levels spawn 2 bosses, but 1 power up each
starts at simulation.difficulty > 23 //on hard mode level 6, level 12 on easy, level 4 on why?
makes combat harder, but also means that you will always get at least 2 drops per level
you used to have a chance to only get 1 near the end of the game
I'm guessing this will lead to about 3 more total tech by the final boss
abiogenesis - removed
parthenogenesis - doesn't duplicate bosses anymore, +8% duplication

health bar is now green
added a damage bar
(I'll probably add a setting to disable this next patch)

this is completely unbalanced, so let me know if what rough edges need to be sanded
found on seed 47086 level 6
tech: ternary - +40 damage if any gun has ammo divisible by 3
level element: transport - horizontal moving platforms
level element: mover - stationary platform that pushes the player horizontally
to see examples of transport and mover look in level.testing()
tech: rebound - super balls speed up and reset duration after they hit a mob

it's in a possible room for labs

tetherBoss now has beetle babies, and immunity
skins have a unique orb for their description card
and some new images

bug fixes

in game console no longer fades out it just instantly goes on and off
bug fixes
new level: lock
it's a work in progress
I'm looking for feedback:
anything confusing?
combat too hard/easy?
it will probably feel hard because you don't know the map yet
images are now hidden by default for new players

bug fixes:
extended CSS media rules and power up selection code to entanglement
tech: RPG - gains the rocket jumping effects from electric armor
