balance: mod capacitor - gives 1% damage for every 7% energy (was 5.5%)
some fixes on community level detour
added a once every 7 second check to try to undo the crouch bug
(I have no idea how to crouch bug is happening, so I can't even test this fix)
mod: slow light propagation - laser is divided into your past, and increase total damage by 200%
let me know about balance (is this too strong or too weak)
mod rail gun: dielectric polarization - firing the rail gun damages nearby mobs
block hole mobs are no longer visible before they activate
striker mobs teleport more often
final boss:
laser does no damage for 2 seconds after it begins
spawns 2 waves of mobs each spawn cycle (was 3)
power up boss no longer slows down after each time you kill it
holding down the field button will stop nano-scale field from converting energy into bullets
energy costs have been increased a bit
nano scale can now use mod - supercapacitor
snake boss is updated
-fear the snake
mod neutron bomb: vacuum permittivity - gets a larger radius and a slow effect
bosses are only stunned for 1/5 of the normal stun time
mod - neutron bomb is a grenade mod, it's damage is 33% higher
direct hits also apply radiation damage over time
missiles aim better, accelerate quicker, push blocks out of the way better
crouch fire mode rapidly launches missiles vertically
bug fix- spider boss moves at full speed again (watch out)
bots that uses energy, stop when you hit 50% energy if you have mass-energy mod
you get a warning before you overwrite your current gun due to integrated armament
gun - flak is removed
mod: incendiary ammunition - bullets explode
shotgun, nail gun, drones, super balls
bug - spider boss move at full speed again (watch out)
bots that uses energy stop when you hit 50% energy if you have mass-energy mod

mod: High-explosive incendiary, or incendiary rounds
shotgun: several large explosions
nail gun: rapid fire explosions

you can view the patch notes for the last few commits from the game menu
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
mini black hole mobs travel through walls
mod: radioactive contamination - after a mob or shield dies, leftover radiation spreads to a nearby mob

removed rail gun mod - frame dragging
bug fixed - rail gun bugs out when your charge speed gets very low
mod: sentry - mines are modified to automatically fire nails at nearby targets for 12 seconds

it used to slow when locked on to a target
now it slows when turning
missiles explode when near any mob
wormhole mod: cosmic string - now stuns mobs and applies radiation damage
mod time dilation: - quadruple your default energy regeneration
added final boss level, it's still in progress so I'd love some feedback
also the game loops back to the intro level after the boss
I'll be working on the ending in the next patch, so the intro level is just a placeholder
gun: pulse is now a mod for laser
mod: beam splitter applies to pulse
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
laser and diffuse laser graphics are better
mod: output coupler - diffuse laser beam is 30% wider and does 30% more damage
requires diffuse beam
level number doesn't increase if you skip the boss (in the late game)
mod: critical bifurcation - nail gun does 400% more damage if it hits very close to the center of a mob
mod: supercritical fission - flechettes explode if they hit 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)

requires mass-energy equivalence
mod: discrete optimization - 50% damage and 50% slow fire rotates
requires cloaking field
mod: waste heat recovery is removed
