n-gon title draws in 1/2 the time
I'm getting flagged by google search that my loading page takes a long time to full render, so this might remove the flag
the site is very fast to load, but I think google is getting confused by the title animation
bug fixes
after you die your canvas sticks around at 10% opacity
add a mouse over underline effect to hint that names are links
molecular assembler: all 3 manufacturing tech cost 3 -> 1 research
extruder:
new tech: refractory metal - increase extruder damage radius
fixed extruder graphics bug, and collisions bug
dynamical systems and discrete optimization are allowed with plasma torch
(although I nerfed them both just a bit)
irradiated nails: 90% damage spread over 2s -> 3s
same total damage, but it takes 1 second longer
toggling harpoon: 6x -> 8x damage
also the graphic effect is more obvious
slasher mobs will grow their sword at the farthest vertex from the player
plasma extruder
extruder lag issues should be fixed!

45% more damage
20% more energy drain
slows mobs a bit more
extends faster
it can hit mobs that get near it now instead of just inside it

dazzler => drains 25%->10% energy, and it has a 15% bigger radius
boson composite => only drains energy when you touch shields
'F' key lets you fire, and it can be rebound to other keys
might be some bugs here, I didn't do much testing
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

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
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
fixed laser collisions on player head when crouching
returned experiment gun and field circles
