no cloning theorem - 42% duplication, but lose 1% dup if you kill a mob
requires cloaking or time dilation field
tech: symbiosis - if you kill a mob lose 2% max health, but gain 2 tech at the end of every level.
requires cloaking or time dilation field
JUNK tech: all-stars - make mobs look like stars
JUNK tech: mouth - make mobs look like they have a mouth
the nonCollideBosses have been made 10% harder to kill
these are the types of bosses that spawn from apomixis on 100% duplication
7+ sided mobs may slice in two when they die
harpoon damage is increased 30%
picks up power ups from farther away
harpoon's range has been reduced about 20%
filament and unaaq require about 40% more ammo for the same effect
harpoon density lowers when it retracts
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
all explosions do 33% more damage to mobs
and 75% more damage to player
boom bot explosions are 16% smaller

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
orbs replaces some power up text descriptions

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

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
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
360 wave beam has reduced mob slow effect
new boss snakeSpitBoss - it's just snake boss but it shoots little pink seekers
tech: cross disciplinary - get an extra gun or field option in tech menu
now that you can scroll the selection menu can be longer
unified field theory - now gives 6 research, in addition to letting you switch fields when paused
cardinality renamed emergence - and gives some JUNK
bug fix where game crashes if you beat the boss
Matter.World has been replaced with Matter.Composite
matter.js deprecated World
could cause problems merging your old code
(replace World with Composite in your code)

a nerf, but also a buff because if you like a build you can freeze it by not getting research
mine gun has 25% less ammo and 33% more damage
railgun now gets 50% more ammo, but it fires slower
fixed rail gun ammo drain on misfire bug
fixed experiment gun display bug

"labs" is now in the normal map rotation
experimental mode is now endless (no gauntlet, finalBoss, ...)
fixed a bug that was giving experimental mode full life at the start
perfect diamagnetism field has a 10% larger radius and arc
the 1/15 second cooldown after blocking with perfect diamagnetism no longer stops you from blocking
it still disables field damage effects and player recoil after blocking (for 1/15 of a second)

shotgun balance
ice-shot: less spread, higher damage, more crystals
needle-shot: more needles, higher damage, less spread
foam-shot: 1 more bubble
power up selection and pause menu elements scroll individually now
it looks great on my computer, but different operating systems and browsers are unpredictable
let me know if text is hidden or if it doesn't scroll for you and what OS and browser you're on
shotgun techs:
(I haven't done enough testing so let me know if these different shotgun modes aren't balanced)
worm shot
ice-IX shot
foam shot
needle shot
foam lasts much longer on shielded mobs
overall foam damage is reduced about 8%
attacks that drain energy don't work when the player is immune to harm
slime, radiation fields, black holes
energy regen that consumes something (ammo, blocks, power ups) now works when immune to harm
but passive energy regen is still stopped while you are immune to harm
pilot wave field can no longer hit intangible mobs with blocks
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
Pauli exclusion gives 1 s of harm immunity (was .75 s)
CPT reversal requires 10% less energy (min energy is 60% to activate)
CPT grenades gives many more bombs

gun tech will now only show up for your active gun
set CSS max width of the update element to match other elements
2 more lore chapters (5 total now)

"gamma-ray laser" renamed "free-electron laser" to make more scientific sense
since gamma rays would go right through walls
laser diode now makes lasers blue
free-electron laser can no longer work with laser diode
pressure wave has a bit more damage

integrated armament gives 35% dmg (was 22%)
but I fixed a bug where it gave an extra 33% ammo

I also added in a 0.25 fade in effect on the power up selection menu. Can you tell?
tech: pseudoscience - adds 0-4 JUNK to the potential tech pool (was 1-5 JUNK)
tech quenching - now increases max health and does harm for over healing from heal power ups
(was for heals at max health)
foam tech necrophoresis now makes less foam spawns if the total number of bullets is high
to help with lag when killing packs of mobs
preparation for more lore chapters
reworked the lore conversation code to make it easier to write
also lore conversations should now have better timing between the text and voice
lore conversations can now recover from some speech errors and try again with safer settings
this seems to allow speech on my firefox browser
added a console command to make it easier to quickly unlock testing mode

more progress on level - labs
over all game difficulty scaling occurs faster
your damage will feel lower, and you will take more harm,
so you should probably play on a lower difficulty

tech pulse and tech slow light now work together for laser beam,
(I think it is pretty dangerous to try them together though)
more wave beam balance
backward induction costs 2 research now, also it is fixed (it would sometimes give an extra tech or the wrong tech)
