pilot wave energy is back to it's old energy settings
tech: restitution - now only triggers power ups from blocks thrown by the player
(this makes pilot wave and naturally falling blocks not spawn power ups. flywheel will work if a block was thrown in the last 3 seconds)
standing wave harmonic has reduced blocking recoil
pilot is back to it's previous speed, and spawning at mouse
pilot wave uses 50% less energy when you are low on energy, but it uses more energy then normal when you have more energy
pilot wave tech
lost: time crystals, Lorentz transformation, annihilation
gained: degenerate matter - 60% harm reduction while field is active
tech: potential well - blocks in pilot wave drift into the center of the field with a much higher force
this lets you hold larger blocks and flick them much faster
spammable methods of energy generation no longer work while immune to damage
rail-gun, flip-flop, dynamo-bots, ice-IX, energy siphon
pilot wave follows the mouse a bit slower
(I think this is actually a buff, because blocks stay in the field better)
a newly clicked pilot wave now begins at the player, not the mouse
(this is just because it looks cool)
tech: many worlds, now only spawns 1 tech
(use to spawn a heal, ammo, research too)
ice-IX does 15% more damage
tech: WIMPs - an indestructible harmful particle slowly chases you
spawn 2-3 research at the end of each level
experimental mode : WIMPS chase you
beating the final boss looks a bit less like death and a bit more like winning
also there are some text directions on how to enter endless mode (press T after you win)
tech removed: 1-body problem
tech: metastability - 20% dup chance, but duplicated powers up eventually explode
nerfed tech: electric reactive armor 6% (was 7%) explosion damage reduction for every 10 energy you currently have
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)
powerupBoss now gives research and ammo when it hits you, not 2 heals (it still ejects one of your tech also)
tech: non-unitary operator - taking damage randomizes your run, reduce difficulty by 2 levels
harm immunity effects now apply to explosion self damage
tech: CPT grenades no longer harm you
tech: least action - wavelets are slower and do more damage
tech: amplitude - wavelets are taller and do more damage
tech: wavelength - wavelets are longer and do more damage
pulse laser now charges up with energy before you fire, but it fires 3 overlapping explosions
please give feedback on balance (too strong, too weak?)
tech shockwave: now applies to all explosions
foam gun now gets 20% less ammo
perfect diamagnetism now has a 1/6 of a second cooldown after blocking (same as other fields)
perfect diamagnetism can get bremsstrahlung now
standing wave harmonic field blocks now block large mobs more reliably
tech: triple point - blocking makes iceIX crystals
unlocked with: standing wave harmonic field or perfect diamagnetism
diffraction grating only gains 1 extra beam, but no longer gets a damage reduction
also the beam split is wider than before
needle move twice as fast (was 50, now is 100)
and they are 50% longer and 25% thinner
damage was improved about 20%
delay between each needle in a volley is slightly longer
thrown blocks can damage intangible mobs for a couple seconds after they are thrown
they are set to act like bullets for a few seconds after being thrown
all blocks do 50% more damage to mobs and 50% longer stun
blocks do more damage vs. shielded mobs (damage penalty is 40%, was 66%))
mass driver - damage increase set to 200% (up from 100%)
negative mass field can lift blocks twice as heavy as before with little movement reduction
tech: flywheel - when mobs die their body is spun and flung at nearby mobs
requires mass driver, no other mob death tech
experiment and junk tech: decomposers - mobs leave behind spawns when they die
new levelBoss - a cluster of larger spawns
while it's alive all mobs other leave behind spawns
added block collisions to most no collide mobs
(this should buff block throwing and pilot wave)
experiment and junk: panopticon - mobs can see you all the time
scrap bots now have a 33% chance to spawn for 10 seconds after killing a mob
(was 20% chance for 20 seconds)
tech: scrap refit - killing a mob resets your functional scrap bots back to 10 seconds of operation
several damage tech have reduced damage by about 10%
spores do 20% more damage, but last 1 second shorter
tech: automatic - always fire, but get 2.5x ammo
requires inertial frame
tech: drone repair - while drones are your active gun, drones respawn with a 50% chance to consume ammo
tech: 1-body problem - do 100% damage if there is only 1 active bullet
experiment mode and junk tech: random aiming
bug fix - sniper, shooter aiming might be improved (no more firing backwards)
or maybe I just made it worse, let me know
bug fix - Shift registers
working on rewriting the way backgrounds and foregrounds are drawn on each level (in progress)

(might be some new bugs)
tech that used to just summon a power up now also increases tech frequency
removed the 4 perpetual techs
