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
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

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

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

some mobs can now sense you by "smelling" where you were
they check for a clear line of sight with your last 10 seconds of history
snakeBoss, blinkBoss, sneaker

beating the final boss clears mobs that spawn after a mob dies, like powerUpBoss
phonon and isotropic radiator range reduced about 10%
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
CPT bots gives many more bots
growBoss balance: a bit smaller and slower, and a extra high chance to drop a random power up when you kill one
sneaker mobs are a bit slower, and have much lower health
starter mobs are no longer aggressive
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)
entering testing mode makes a sound now
reduced the requirements and frequency for many tech so that they may show up in "less optimal" situations
I hope this will increase build variety and also give more value to making good tech choices
countless bug fixes and wording fixes
mobs have a new trait mob[i].damageReduction
