added images to tech, field, gun cards (enable this in settings)
in progress - not all images are generated yet
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
plasma-bot does 15% more damage, but costs 2 research
fault tolerance 4->5 forever drones, but costs 2 research
surfactant 2->3 foam bots, but costs 2 research
missile-bot costs 1 research
shaped charge 4->3 research cost
renormalization 40->44% chance to refund research
exciton 18->16% chance to spawn
ground state 50->40% reduced energy regen
Bayesian statistics 3.8->3% damage per research, and spawns 3 research
JUNK tech: startle response - if mobs are near boost damage, and lock mouse until you press escape
tech grappling hook - can attack to walls and pull you towards the walls
harpoon extends farther as you hold down fire, but no longer has auto-steering
mobs do 4% less harm per difficulty level
railgun/harpoon auto-targeting is smarter at long distances with multiple small targets
but it still has trouble with moving targets
booby trap only has a 100 -> 50% chance to drop a mine when picking up power ups
added fallback for browsers that don't allow local storage
more training levels: "trainingWalk", "trainingCrouch", "trainingJump", "trainingHold", "trainingThrow", "trainingHit", "trainingHeal", "trainingFire", "trainingDeflect"
tech: Bose Einstein condensate is removed until I can balance it
bug fixes
first 4 levels of the training maps are live
this is very much a work in progress, but I'm putting it up for feedback
stunned and frozen mobs do no harm by default
removed tech: osmoprotectant - stunned and frozen mobs do no harm
tech: annelids - randomly increase worm size and damage up to 100%

JUNK tech black hole cluster spawns mobs farther away, so you have a better chance to survive
undefinded tech no longer shows up on your first couple times playing, since it's a distraction for new players
tech: affine connection - wormholes can now tunnel through the map at 200% increased energy cost
tech: regression - after bullets hit a mob, the mob takes 5% more future damage (0.5% for bosses)
tech: axion - while inside the MACHO halo, 75% of your total harm reduction is added as damage
mob: launcherOne - launches 1 big seeker bullet that chases you
black holes boss and final boss spawn big seeker bullets that chases you during the black hole phase
applied science no longer gives research (just a random tech for every gun you have)
bot fabrication increase cost every 5 -> x6 bots
average console time to disappear is 3 -> 4 seconds
ammo power ups no longer log ammo to in game console for performance reasons
JUNK tech: catabolysis - set max health to 1; double your current ammo 10 times (2^10 = 1024x ammo)
railgun is now a tech for harpoon
railgun tech: dielectric polarization has been removed
unaaq increases the size not length of harpoons
capacitor bank applies charging effects: throwing blocks, foam, railgun, pulse, tokamak
fire cooldown reduction no longer effects these charging abilities, but it does reduce cooldown between discharges
foam now has a short delay between each discharge
foam charges ~10% faster
tokamak graphics indicate charging and max charge better
pulse laser can now regen energy passively while charging
tech: mass driver no longer gives improved block charge rate,
but it gives 200% -> 300% damage for blocks
tech: inflation no longer gives improved block charge rate
it gives harm reduction when holding a block and makes block expand when you throw them
tech: inelastic collision was removed it used to give harm reduction when holding a block
pilot wave uses 66% less energy to fling blocks
pilot wave can fling block effectively at much higher speeds now (which happens to use much more energy)
tech potential well is removed, because it isn't really needed anymore
inductive coupling: 500% -> 600% regen while crouched
molecular assembler now works with inductive coupling regen properly
bug fixes (superdeterminism, wormhole, applied science)
I probably added several new bugs, let me know if you find any
relativistic momentum: laser pushes harder and slows mobs a bit to give a more predictable effect
laserBombingBoss targets faster at higher levels
you can now block shielded mobs, but your shield gets disabled for a bit
fixed bug that made perfect diamagnetism have trouble blocking too many things at once
and more small bug fixes, of course
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)
tech: many worlds - now costs 1 research at the start of each level to activate
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
buffBoss: group of mobs that buff their group after they die
this boss maybe unbalanced in some situations, let me know
(get them all low on health before you start killing them)
complex spin-statistics gives 1.5/7 harm immunity (was 1/7)
also tech frequency was halved
tech fermions is now on by default: thrown blocks can collide with intangible mobs
pilot wave uses 5% more energy for balance
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
shieldingBoss stops re-shielding after taking damage
25% more health
re-shielding Cooldown is 25% shorter
you can pick up ammo with laser again
it was too annoying to switch guns
you have 1/2 second harm immunity after leaving a portal
lore conversations are better at recovering from speech API freezes
(if the speech API doesn't work after 10 seconds it switches to pure text)
"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
crouch mode works different (much higher fire rate, low arc)
integrated armament gives 35% dmg (was 22%)
but I fixed a bug where it gave an extra 33% ammo
mine gun gets 25% less ammo
all mines do 30% more damage
trying to make shotgun better at close range and worse at distance
shotgun slug is much slower, but does 60% more damage

finalBoss has 15% less health
to balance all the buffs
ammo power ups give 15% less ammo
damage done by mobs now scales up a bit faster each level
damage done by you now scales down a bit faster each level
tech: pressure wave - wave beam fires lower frequency, higher damage, wide arcs that propagate through solids
tech: gamma-ray laser - increase laser damage by 150% and energy drain by 200%
works for all lasers except pulse
tech: specular reflection - now just gives +2 laser reflections (was +1, and damage/energy increase)
you, pilot wave, and drones can't pick up ammo if you have Infinite ammo on your current gun
wormhole still eats everything
Bayesian statistics gives 4.2% damage per research (was 3.9%)
bot fabrication needs 3 research to make a random bot (was 4)
to prevent misclicks when you grab two power ups in a row there is a 1/2 second delay before power up selections can register
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
lore.unlockTesting()
pressing "b" in testing mode now gives you 10000 research and the damage from research tech
tech: flip-flip - does nothing, except toggle on collisions
tech: NOR gate - when flip-flip is ON take 0 harm from collisions
tech: NAND gate - when flip-flip is ON do 55.5% damage
tech: transistor - when flip-flop is ON regen 22 energy/s, when OFF drain 3.1 energy /s
tech: shift registers - set flip-flop to ON with a new level
added 2 new testing keys: J = clear mobs, H = infinity health
added junk tech: ship (it's hard to control, but you get better with practice)
m.shipMode() in console
blocking uses 33% less energy
tech: stimulated emission removed
tech: Bayesian statistics renamed stimulated emission
tech: futures exchange gives 4.5% per cancel (up from 4%)
new level boss: follows you like the dynamo-bot, but is not friend
will not spawn if you have a dynamo-bot
(probably will be rebalanced in next patch)
duplication bug fix
renaming custom mode -> experimental mode
experimental mode is available again even without completing lore
mob: sneaker is a bit faster and stronger
(the invisible one that attacks from stealth)
tech: unified field theory - switching guns uses a reroll to cycle your field
lore: chapter 1 and 2 are now somewhere in the game
lore is the same for all difficulty levels
testing mode and custom are now locked by default until you reach chapter 1
or just hack the game to skip the lore and enable testing and custom
localSettings.loreCount = Infinity;
localStorage.setItem("localSettings", JSON.stringify(localSettings));
bug fix: performance greatly improved on drawing multiple duplicated power ups
tech: antiscience - 100% damage, but lose 11 health when you pick up a tech
tech: laser widebeam + output coupler can now stack up to 9x (was 1x)
but it not longer works with tech: slow light propagation
