field tech: accretion - health power ups follow you around and they travel with you to the to next level
spawn 6 heal power ups
negative mass, plasma torch
foam gun tech cavitation - more knock back, and 25% to make a foam bullet extra large and fast
foam-bots now discharge a few bullets in a stream with a long reload time
laser-bot +5% energy drain, -5% damage
nail-bot +10% fire rate
added images to tech, field, gun cards (enable this in settings)

images are generated by me using midJourney plus significant post processing
random research power ups are 20% more common per level
global difficulty balance: player takes a bit less damage
mutualism: 0.5->1 borrowed health for 250->300% more spore damage
harpoon can still fire when out of energy, but slower
harpoon fire cooldown no longer triggers when the harpoon returns
it's just a flat 2/3 of a second after you Fire
improved fire rate now allows you to fire many harpoons at once until you run out of energy
default harpoon rope is a bit longer
several bug fixes and undocumented changes I forgot to list
