tech: Lenz's law -perfect diamagnetism field stays when you aren't holding field
tech: Zeno's paradox - every 5s lose 10% of your current health, but get 84% harm reduction
shotgun techs:
(I haven't done enough testing so let me know if these different shotgun modes aren't balanced)
worm shot
ice-IX shot
foam shot
needle shot
foam lasts much longer on shielded mobs
overall foam damage is reduced about 8%
attacks that drain energy don't work when the player is immune to harm
slime, radiation fields, black holes
energy regen that consumes something (ammo, blocks, power ups) now works when immune to harm
but passive energy regen is still stopped while you are immune to harm
pilot wave field can no longer hit intangible mobs with blocks
it was too annoying that you can't use blocks to move around so I reverted it back
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
growBoss balance: a bit smaller and slower, and a extra high chance to drop a random power up when you kill one

gun tech will now only show up for your active gun
set CSS max width of the update element to match other elements
"pressure wave" renamed "phonon"
tech packet length removed
most wave beam tech is now compatible with phonon
wave beam tech: isotropic radiator - phonon has shorter range but expands in every direction
drone tech: torque bursts - teleport towards targets and do 30% more collision damage
irradiated drones do 33% more damage, 33% less collisions damage
5% more ammo, 30% less range, don't lose duration on collisions
pseudoscience only gets 3 free rerolls per tech
shieldingBoss stops re-shielding after taking damage
25% more health
re-shielding Cooldown is 25% shorter
you can pick up ammo with laser again
it was too annoying to switch guns
you have 1/2 second harm immunity after leaving a portal
lore conversations are better at recovering from speech API freezes
(if the speech API doesn't work after 10 seconds it switches to pure text)
"gamma-ray laser" renamed "free-electron laser" to make more scientific sense
since gamma rays would go right through walls
laser diode now makes lasers blue
free-electron laser can no longer work with laser diode
pressure wave has a bit more damage
crouch mode works different (much higher fire rate, low arc)
integrated armament gives 35% dmg (was 22%)
but I fixed a bug where it gave an extra 33% ammo
mine gun gets 25% less ammo
all mines do 30% more damage
trying to make shotgun better at close range and worse at distance
shotgun slug is much slower, but does 60% more damage

finalBoss has 15% less health
to balance all the buffs
ammo power ups give 15% less ammo
damage done by mobs now scales up a bit faster each level
damage done by you now scales down a bit faster each level
to prevent misclicks when you grab two power ups in a row there is a 1/2 second delay before power up selections can register
I also added in a 0.25 fade in effect on the power up selection menu. Can you tell?
tech: pseudoscience - adds 0-4 JUNK to the potential tech pool (was 1-5 JUNK)
tech quenching - now increases max health and does harm for over healing from heal power ups
(was for heals at max health)
foam tech necrophoresis now makes less foam spawns if the total number of bullets is high
to help with lag when killing packs of mobs
preparation for more lore chapters
reworked the lore conversation code to make it easier to write
also lore conversations should now have better timing between the text and voice
lore conversations can now recover from some speech errors and try again with safer settings
this seems to allow speech on my firefox browser
added a console command to make it easier to quickly unlock testing mode
lore.unlockTesting()
pressing "b" in testing mode now gives you 10000 research and the damage from research tech
new level labs is done (it's kinda randomized, so expect it to feel different each run)
(I know there are tons of bugs, but I figure we can find them together :)
foam gun now gets about 20% less ammo
new junk tech: "emergency broadcasting" - plays some fun sounds and gives you health
updated matter.js to a newer build matter-js 0.17.1 by @liabru
(was matter-js 0.14.2 by @liabru 2018-06-11)
matter.js patch notes suggest a possible 30% physics performance increase
decomp.min.js was removed because I don't think it does anything anymore
I did get one error message about it being missing, but there were other bugs too
catabolism - lowers your max health by 1 (was 3 harm) and gives 4 ammo
inductive coupling - gives max energy for leftover power ups (was max health)
now requires mass-energy equivalence
switched to a newer copy, paste URL
this seems to fix issues with failed text copy in the level builder if you hold mouse down for over 6 seconds
tech: quenching - if you're at full health heal power ups do harm but they also increase your max health
you can play with camera smoothing now in the console
m.lookSmoothing = 0.07, //1 is instant/jerky, 0.01 is slow zoom, 0.07 is standard
more progress on level - labs
tech supertemporal - fire your super balls at the same place in space, but delayed in time
super ball starts with 3 not 4 balls, but they are is 25% larger, 10% faster, and 25% lower divergence
(this makes adding more balls much stronger)
gun - super balls has 15% less ammo
standing wave harmonics - still has no block cooldown, but now it has a cooldown for how often it can drain energy
this should make rapidly blocking drain upto 10x less energy
base blocking cost have increased by 25%
wormhole gets 10% duplication (was 7%)
ice-IX does 15% more damage
new level element - toggle(x, y, isLockOn = false)
similar to a button but doesn't require a block
used on the level highrise
can toggle "off and on" or "lock on"
over all game difficulty scaling occurs faster
your damage will feel lower, and you will take more harm,
so you should probably play on a lower difficulty

const boost2 = level.boost(-3400, -2050, 3000)
level.custom = () => {
boost1.query();
boost2.query();

a newly clicked pilot wave now begins at the player, not the mouse
(this is just because it looks cool)
tech: many worlds, now only spawns 1 tech
(use to spawn a heal, ammo, research too)
