>update text now shows the last 20 updates and has a scroll bar
bots are now nonrefundable, so they don't display as a tech when you select them
this might introduce some errors, please let me know if you see something

(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

reroll renamed -> research
spore damage increased 25%
ice IX has it's damage buffed by 50%, and freeze effect lasts 2s (up from 1s)
ice IX is no longer a gun
but you can still get it for nano-scale field (and it's pretty strong)
tech: heavy water was removed
tech: correlated damage - duplication chance also gives % damage
(also added some minor nerfs to other duplication tech for balance)

they were giving too much damage
flechettes are slightly improved in: ammo, damage, fire rate
tech - MIRV can now stack up to 9 bonus missiles

new reroll display in power up selection
tech: rocket-propelled now works with all grenade tech
you can view the patch notes for the last few commits from the game menu
this uses the github API, so it might have some delay

fixed, but only for one portal... oh well
mobs that make a scrap bot, don't leave a block body anymore
update to mod: anthropic principle - only works once per level
but gives 6 seconds of damage immunity and 2 extra heal power ups
most energy regeneration effects now overfill energy above the max by default
piezo electricity over fills energy by 300% (was 100%)
gun: pulse is now a mod for laser
mod: beam splitter applies to pulse
difficulty balancing
(this needs to be done as more mods are added to the game to prevent power creep)
all modes are a bit harder
if you used to play why, try the new hard
if you used to play hard try the new normal
power ups drop more often from bosses on all modes

25% increase in difficulty scaling (level 10 should now have the difficulty of level 12)
effects: player damage, mod damage, mob acceleration, mob reaction time, mob cooldown time
