tech: rocket-propelled now works with all grenade tech
new level boss that fires 2 streams of small bullets that chase you
mod: add a CPT gun to your inventory that rewinds your history, reverts your health, position, velocity for 10 seconds
I expect that spamming rewind has some overpowered combos.
Let me know what you find, and your ideas on balance.
your build url can now be copied in the pause screen
mod: inductive coupling - 4 max health per power up, but limited to 44 max health per level (replaces crystalized armor)
mod: transceiver chip - use all the power ups left over at the end of a level
mod: catabolism - does a flat 5 damage to your health for 3 ammo (was 2% of max health for 1 ammo)
wave beam damage works better vs. high mass mobs
also more damage and ammo
mod plasma torch: extruder - plasma torch ejects a thin hot wire, does more damage, but drains more energy
mod: Bose Einstein condensate - freeze mobs inside your field
pilot wave, negative mass field, time dilation field
difficulty - after you clear the finalBoss, difficulty increase per level is now lower
but, when the finalBoss dies difficulty immediately increases greatly
difficulty used to work like this:
(+1 per level) 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, (final boss dies)
(+2,3,4 per level) 12,14,16,19,22,25,29,33,37,41, (final boss dies)
(+4 per level) 44,48,52,56 ...
difficulty works like this now:
(+1 per level) 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, (final boss dies +5)
(+2 per level) 17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35, (final boss dies +5)
(+3 per level) 43,46,49,52 ...
difficulty mode scales these numbers
easy: x1, normal: x2, hard: x4, why: x6
each time difficulty increases:
game.dmgScale = 0.38 * game.difficulty //damage done by mobs increases each level
b.dmgScale *= 0.93; // your damage goes down
game.healScale = 1 / (1 + game.difficulty * 0.06) //healing goes down
if (game.accelScale < 5) game.accelScale *= 1.02 //mob acceleration increases each level, but is capped
if (game.lookFreqScale > 0.2) game.lookFreqScale *= 0.98 //mob cycles between looks decreases each level, but is capped
if (game.CDScale > 0.2) game.CDScale *= 0.97 //mob ability cooldown time decreases each level, but is capped
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
mod: causality bots - before you rewind, build bots that protect you for for 7 seconds
mod grenade: causality bombs - before you rewind, drop some grenades
added more requirements to various mods
CPT reversal is more flexible with energy
1.5-5 seconds of rewind drains 66% - 220% energy
mod: exothermic process - renamed acute stress response
mod: heat engine - reduce max energy by 50 increase damage by 40%
mod: Gibbs free energy - gain 5% damage for every 10 energy below 100
field - wormhole now has a 10% chance to duplicate power ups
mod: erase - remove rerolled mods from the selection pool
custom now lets you reproduce builds that only occur in game when a mod/gun/field is removed is ejected
example: in custom you can get time dilation only mods, then jump over to nano scale field and keep the crazy time dilation regen
this might cause some problems, let me know if anything gets weird
balance: perimeter defense - 3% harm reduction for each bot (was 5%)
mod: network effect - 2% damage for each bot
mod: commodities exchange - canceling a power up gives 6 rerolls, ammo, or heals
all bot upgrade mods are improved by about 33%
mod superdeterminism - spawns 6 mods (was 3)
mod: futures exchange - canceling power ups increases duplication chance by 4%
mod: monte carlo experiment - spawn 2 mods, but you have a 50% chance to lose a random mod
requires duplication mods, not available in custom
mod: exchange symmetry - spawn 1 mod with double your normal duplication chance
requires duplication mods, not available in custom
mod: CPT reversal - avoid damage by rewinding to your past, but use up all your energy
requires wormhole or time dilation
several minor buffs to wormhole
small changes to mob distribution on a few maps
you can see your build while in the power up selection menu
balance - metamaterial cloaking field gives 111% more damage (up from 66%)
mod: Newton's 1st law - harm reduction when moving fast (thanks NoHaxJustPi)
mod: Newton's 2nd law - damage increase while moving fast
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)
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
