difficulty balancing
(this needs to be done as more mods are added to the game to prevent power creep)
all modes are a bit harder
if you used to play why, try the new hard
if you used to play hard try the new normal
power ups drop more often from bosses on all modes
gun: vacuum bomb is removed
mod: vacuum bomb - grenades fire slower, explode bigger and, suck everything towards them

some wormhole bug fixes
wormhole mod: cosmic string - damage mobs when you teleport through them
wormhole mod: Penrose process - overfill energy to 300% of max, with a block gets sucked into a hole
mods ejected from Bayesian statistics can't duplicate
the power up boss moves faster, has less health,
it will eject one of your mods after a collision
and two health power ups

mobs don't do much in worm hole yet, but that is coming with future mods
mod: ionization energy - heal power ups give you 4% max energy
requires mass-energy equivalence
mod: discrete optimization - 50% damage and 50% slow fire rotates
requires cloaking field

can now grab power ups from far away

eject extra mods if you have recursive stacks
power ups have a bit more air friction
power ups must be in line of sight to be pulled by the player
why mode now gets 100% chance for a second boss power up (up from 50%)
this should let why mode reach more interesting build depth
laser and pulse got a damage and energy use buff
immune to harm for a second after exiting the power up selection menu
bubble fusion drops 2-3 power ups (down from 3)
perturbation theory: damage is 5% (down from 6%) per reroll
but the mod will not show up until you have 4 rerolls stockpiled
sporeangium grow faster when stuck to a mob
