b2426cd7be surfing
pilot wave rework
  it's easier to surf on blocks controlled by pilot wave
    pilot wave secret combo spawns blocks that are easier to surf on: long and thin
  pilot wave location resets to player when off
  pilot wave hitting map no longer shrinks, it just will not enter map
  field speed slows down with total block mass in field
  energy drain
    1x energy regen disabled when field is active
    2x passive regen drained when out of line of sight of player
    energy drain that scales with size and acceleration of blocks in field
  added graphical flicker when field is out of line of sight
  a few more bosses now interact with blocks and can take damage
  prevented field from disabling when mouse goes off screen
    I don't expect any bugs from this, but maybe...

  issue with constraint: "mob death heals mobs"

  entering a seed in settings wasn't giving the same results as a randomly generated seeds
    also removed some random code that was using seeded shuffle, but didn't need to
      converted it to non seeded random shuffle with .sort(() => Math.random() - 0.5);

paradigm shift no longer has a 3% failure rate
  minus 3->4 health
  it can remove applied science tech
removing strange loop gives a random removetech

tech: marginal utility - give a specific gun 2x ammo per ammo power up
