new mob: slasher - it's basically a jedi
harpoon: +33% damage, +33% delay after firing
time dilation reverted 50% -> 0% collision harm reduction
time dilation can no longer get tech: symbiosis
nano-scale: can access tokamak and discrete optimization
cache: 11x -> 13x ammo
bug fixes
pausing time or being cloaked gives you 50% harm reduction from mob collisions
no-cloning theorem duplication => down to 42%, but no longer removes 1% on bosses
dazzler => drains 25%->10% energy, and it has a 15% bigger radius
boson composite => only drains energy when you touch shields
'F' key lets you fire, and it can be rebound to other keys
might be some bugs here, I didn't do much testing
harpoon gun
shaped more like a harpoon
grabs power ups slower, and from the tip of the harpoon
only uses energy on returning
doesn't have thrust if there is no mob target
tech: reticulum - make one more harpoon if there are mobs nearby that you are facing
I'm letting this stack to 9 even though it's silly cause that is n-gon's style
tech: ceramics now lets both harpoons and needles ignore shields
this was coded poorly so if shield bugs show up it might be from this
tech: fragmentation makes ~15% fewer nails for everything it affects
tech: filament gives 3% length per ammo (was 1%)
also length is capped at 75 ammo because after that it's just annoying
tech: unaaq is longer at low ammo but scales slower at high ammo
bugs
fixed laser collisions on player head when crouching
returned experiment gun and field circles
tech: MIRV - now effects grenades and super balls in addition to missiles
no change for super balls and missiles, but this is a new tech for grenades

the graphics look a bit different now, maybe not as good, maybe it's just different
iceIX bullets last 50% less time, but do 50% more damage and have 25% more thrust
so it's more of a close range bullet
ice-shot has 2 fewer bullets
tech: brushless motor - drones rush more often and do 44% more damage
requires torque bursts
tech: orthocyclic winding - irradiated drones are faster and do more damage
requires irradiated drones
automatic aiming systems (bots, drones, missiles) will ignore the pink seeking mob bullets
safari is super buggy, I'm guessing no one that reports bugs uses it.
fixed scroll bar covering up pause right side text on safari and firefox
fixed issue with ctx.setLineDash sometimes making the player dashed on safari
various other bug fixes
Matter.World has been replaced with Matter.Composite
matter.js deprecated World
could cause problems merging your old code

(doesn't effect tech that gives random bots)
bug fixes
tech: weak anthropic principle - after anthropic principle prevents your death, gain 50% duplication for that level
anthropic principle now correctly gives 6 seconds of harm immunity after preventing your death
almost all energy regen is disabled while immune to harm
you aren't immune very often so you may not notice, but it will limit some builds that let you get almost constant immunity
Pauli exclusion gives 1 s of harm immunity (was .75 s)
CPT reversal requires 10% less energy (min energy is 60% to activate)
CPT grenades gives many more bombs
CPT bots gives many more bots

2/6 rooms for new level.labs() are completed
historyBoss has a much smaller damage radius, but it does 2x more damage
also history boss has updated graphics
no the dotted lines on the player isn't a bug
inertial mass - negative mass field is larger and you accelerate faster
also moves blocks horizontally while the field is active
junk tech - hide your health bar, spawn 30 health
bug fixes
tech removed: frequency resonance
standing wave tech: spherical harmonics - standing wave oscillates in a 3rd dimension, increasing deflecting efficiency by 60%

junk tech: rhythm - you oscillate up and down
shieldingBoss no longer shields other bosses
mine damage is about 25% better
final boss leave a body
several minor bug fixes
pilot wave energy is back to it's old energy settings
tech: restitution - now only triggers power ups from blocks thrown by the player
(this makes pilot wave and naturally falling blocks not spawn power ups. flywheel will work if a block was thrown in the last 3 seconds)
standing wave harmonic has reduced blocking recoil
ice-IX does 15% more damage
tech: WIMPs - an indestructible harmful particle slowly chases you
spawn 2-3 research at the end of each level

tech: non-unitary operator - taking damage randomizes your run, reduce difficulty by 2 levels
thrown blocks can damage intangible mobs for a couple seconds after they are thrown
they are set to act like bullets for a few seconds after being thrown
all blocks do 50% more damage to mobs and 50% longer stun
blocks do more damage vs. shielded mobs (damage penalty is 40%, was 66%))
mass driver - damage increase set to 200% (up from 100%)
negative mass field can lift blocks twice as heavy as before with little movement reduction
tech: flywheel - when mobs die their body is spun and flung at nearby mobs
requires mass driver, no other mob death tech
experiment and junk tech: decomposers - mobs leave behind spawns when they die
new levelBoss - a cluster of larger spawns
while it's alive all mobs other leave behind spawns
added block collisions to most no collide mobs
(this should buff block throwing and pilot wave)
new mob: pulsar - aims at player and does damage in an circle
(set to 3x chance to show up until the next patch)
several tech that were nonrefundable now can be removed and refunded
added several bug fixes
some tech now has 2x,3x,4x frequency of showing up
(most tech is at 1x, a few are at 2x if they have a rare requirement to unlock)
reworked junk and lore tech systems
(might be some new bugs)
tech that used to just summon a power up now also increases tech frequency
removed the 4 perpetual techs

shieldingBoss - doesn't attack, but shields all mobs every 2.5s
reworked how tetherBoss's constraint work
please, let me know if the tether boss is buggy on any of the levels
the chance for tether boss was removed from level: detours
tech: flip-flop - collisions do 25% more harm, but you become immune to harm for the next collision
mob orbitals can now be destroyed, but it takes a very large amount of damage
laser-bot upgrade: gives 75% damage, range, and energy efficiency (was 400% damage, but they ran out of energy too fast)
boom-bots are now smart about not hurting the player with explosions while doing the most damage
tech: strong anthropic principle - after anthropic principle prevents your death do 137.03599 extra damage for the rest of the level
added 2 new testing keys: J = clear mobs, H = infinity health
added junk tech: ship (it's hard to control, but you get better with practice)
m.shipMode() in console
several new junk tech
unified field theory: now cycles fields after you click the field box when paused
tech: restitution - mobs killed by blocks spawn power ups
tech: inelastic collision - 60% harm reduction when holding a block

tech: bigger rivets (9x stack)
all nails
radioactive 2s tick (about 70% damage increase)
0.5s full tick
4s longer tick
critical hits -> explosion (from flechettes)
fixed some math on laser tech: diffraction grating and slow light propagation
they were giving too much damage
flechettes are slightly improved in: ammo, damage, fire rate
tech - MIRV can now stack up to 9 bonus missiles
removed tech - recursive missiles

tech: rocket-propelled now works with all grenade tech
catabolism - 2% (was 2.3%) of max health removed
many worlds - spawns 2 rerolls (was 1)
pilot wave field- now has access to several mods that normally require other fields
this plus the fragmenting block mod are a big buff for late game pilot wave
let me know if it is too strong
mod nano-scale: bot prototypes - upgrade a bot type and build 2 of that bot
mod nano-scale: bot manufacturing - build 3 random bots
these mods don't show up in custom

this uses the github API, so it might have some delay
overfill mods add energy instead of setting energy to a value
bug - blocks in vertical portals can get stuck inside the portals
fixed, but only for one portal... oh well
mobs that make a scrap bot, don't leave a block body anymore
update to mod: anthropic principle - only works once per level
but gives 6 seconds of damage immunity and 2 extra heal power ups
most energy regeneration effects now overfill energy above the max by default
piezo electricity over fills energy by 300% (was 100%)
mod: critical bifurcation - nail gun does 400% more damage if it hits very close to the center of a mob

mod: transdimensional spores - after wormholes eat blocks, they disturb spores
mod: traversable geodesics - your bullets can go through worm holes
scrap bots now only last only 30 seconds, but they have a 20% chance to spawn from a kill (was 11%)
the difficulty should feel a bit harder after clearing the boss level
(a bit more more damage taken, and fewer mod drops)
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
