tech: blast mines - mines stun when they activate
laser mines only fire if crouching (so you can fire normal mines when energy is low)
mines now includes the radius of the mob when calculating mobs in range
so it will detonate from the final boss from farther away
mines have a small random chance to detonate from targets up to 40% father away
time dilation field drains less energy for the first few seconds, but linearly ramps up energy drain as you stay frozen in time
unfreezing time returns you the normal drain rate in half the time to ramp up
this should be a buff for all situations, except someone who has a huge external source of energy

fixed a bug that was giving experimental mode full life at the start

it still disables field damage effects and player recoil after blocking (for 1/15 of a second)

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

(this makes adding more balls much stronger)
