so it doesn't do as much damage on retracting
more bug fixes
tech: toggling harpoon - after picking up a power up with the harpoon, your next harpoon is 7x more dense
this probably needs to be balanced in the next patch
tech: regularization - use 6 research to increase renormalization by 10%
(renormalization is 40% chance to get research when you use research)
tech: bot fabrication uses 2 research to build a bot (+1 cost every 5 bots)
tech: uncertainty principle now applies to wave beam in addition to foam
tech: integrated armament gives 19.95% damage (was 23%)
level: labs - platforming rooms have been simplified
start with 7/7 undefined tech if you choose an -experiment- and no other tech
tech: cache - ammo power ups give 11x ammo, but you can't hold over 11x ammo
harpoon
grabs 1 power up on the way out, or in
harpooned power ups are predictable
they attach to the harpoon instead of using physics to move towards player
bugs fixes
lasers were broke, but I fixed them
gun alt fire is determined by the down key not the player crouch state
(so you can control alt fire when in the air or stuck in a tunnel)
I did this with text replace, so it could produce some bugs
harpoon
automatically uses power ups that return to player
will aim at harder to hit targets, and possible miss
returns extra fast if it is far from the player
bullets last a bit longer so they don't despawn early
cd on miss fire lowered to 1.5s (was 3s)
bugs fixes
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
new gun harpoon
tech: filament - harpoon rope gets 1% longer for every harpoon ammo in your inventory
tech: unaaq - harpoon gets 1% longer for every harpoon ammo in your inventory
harpoon is pretty unbalanced, but I'm pushing it out so ya'll can let me know how I should balance it
more harpoon tech to come
2+ harpoons out at once
hold fire to extend rope longer
improved targeting: so it can hit the same target a few times
tech: controlled explosion - explosions shrink to prevent them from hitting you, cost 3 research
JUNK tech: true colors - set all power ups to their real world colors (just makes random colors)
all explosions do 33% more damage to mobs
and 75% more damage to player
boom bot explosions are 16% smaller
laser-bot does 15% more damage
missile bot fires 15% quicker
tech: phase velocity also adds 15% wave damage (because it disables phonon is was a bad choice)
many duplication tech add less duplication
Maxwell's demon now requires current energy above your max to unlock
power ups in the intro tube get pushed around a bit, this might stop them from sliding on the walls
mines when they are stuck to walls no longer collide with blocks (to not block elevator)
more bug fixes
blockBoss: new boss based on work by TheShwarma
(3x chance to randomly see blockBoss until next patch)
it's over powered, I'll probably nerf it next patch, but I want to get some feedback first on how to nerf it
hint: if you kill the boss all the mobBlocks turn back into blocks
very very small blocks are slightly limited in how fast they can be thrown
they were moving so fast they would miss their target sometimes
tech: energy conservation gives 5% energy back (was 6%)
tech: arsenal requires at least 3 guns in your inventory
tech: active cooling requires at least 2 guns in your inventory
several bug fixes
orbs replaces some power up text descriptions
player damage taken is increased by 1%
finalBoss ramps up the mob spawns more slowly, making lower damage high survival builds more effective on the finalBoss
5% laser damage increase
15% mine fire rate reduction
ctx.clip() is back for metamaterial cloaking field
it wasn't the source of the lag, firefox is just slow on my work computer
tech: buckling was disallowed, but I fixed it so you can get the tech again
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
undetonated mines are returned at the end of a level
removed tech: mine reclamation
mine gun has 30% less ammo
laser mines do 7% less damage
booby trap now comes with 53 JUNK (up from 33) but it's mines can be returned for ammo
removed ctx.clip() from metamaterial cloaking field for performance reasons
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
20% damage for all mine modes
laser mines spin super fast when it first finds a target, and a bit faster overall
mine sentry lasts 17 seconds (2 more seconds)
desublimated ammunition comes with 7 JUNK tech
several foam tech do 5% less damage
shotgun has 1/9 less ammo
apomixis now requires 11 research
historyBoss takes 25% longer to reach it's minimum follow distance
