tech: Noether violation - shotgun and railgun recoil is increased and it's direction is reversed, +60% damage for shot/rail gun
each field now has a tech that uses research to give a simple bonus
wormhole: virtual particles - 3 research for 19% duplication chance
cloaking field, pilot wave: dynamical systems - 2 research for 35% damage
standing wave harmonics, pilot wave: zero point energy - 2 research for 74% max energy
perfect diamagnetism or negative mass field: tessellation - 50% harm reduction for 4 research cost
time dilation field - Lorentz transformation now uses 4 research for a 50% speed increase (was 40% for no research)
plasma-bot - now also requires 1 research
nano-scale already has several research deals
added a research to the intro level
Newton's 1st law reduces harm by up to 66% (was 60%) when moving at up to 30
Newton's 2nd law increases damage by up to 66% (was 43%) when moving at up to 30
also they both have no requirements anymore
super ball tech supertemporal now fires with much less delay
and it syncs with frame rate much cleaner
metamaterial cloaking
now gets the damage buff after 3 seconds of no kills (was 4s)
recloaks 1/2 second faster
cloaked vision has a 10% larger radius
6 situational tech can now show up in situations where they are only "OK", but not "great" choices
new level labs is done (it's kinda randomized, so expect it to feel different each run)
(I know there are tons of bugs, but I figure we can find them together :)
foam gun now gets about 20% less ammo
new junk tech: "emergency broadcasting" - plays some fun sounds and gives you health
updated matter.js to a newer build matter-js 0.17.1 by @liabru
(was matter-js 0.14.2 by @liabru 2018-06-11)
matter.js patch notes suggest a possible 30% physics performance increase
decomp.min.js was removed because I don't think it does anything anymore
I did get one error message about it being missing, but there were other bugs too
tech: inflation - thrown blocks expand, and throwing charges faster
fermions applies to thrown blocks as well
junk tech: posture - stand tall
junk tech: rhythm - you oscillate up and down
shieldingBoss no longer shields other bosses
mine damage is about 25% better
final boss leave a body
several minor bug fixes
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)

nerfed tech: electric reactive armor 6% (was 7%) explosion damage reduction for every 10 energy you currently have
random tech spawn chance now scales with levels clear (zero chance after level 10)
(it used to scale with total tech acquired, but you probably will not even notice this change)
tech: crystallizer - mods produce ice-IX crystals when they die
tech pulse and tech slow light now work together for laser beam,
(I think it is pretty dangerous to try them together though)
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

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

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

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)
bug fix - grower mob becoming immune to damage when shielded and growing bigger than shield
relay switch - toggles ON/OFF when you pick up a power up
tech: ice IX condenser - if ON make a couple Ice IX crystals every second
more bug fixes (pulse color, backwards induction giving too many tech)
mobs can now see through blocks
mobs spawns and level spawns have been adjusted to prevent getting zonked at the start of a level
shieldingBoss - doesn't attack, but shields all mobs every 2.5s
reworked how tetherBoss's constraint work

tech: dormancy - if a mob has died in the last 5 seconds increase damage by 50% else decrease damage by 50%
tech: torpor - if a mob has died in the last 5 seconds reduce harm by 66% else increase harm by 33%
all mobs that move through walls and blocks now have a transparent fill
player and power ups float in hazards

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)
damage immunity graphic is more obvious
difficulty mode no longer increases after killing final boss (it was too confusing)
tech: Higgs mechanism - you can't move when firing, reduce harm by 60% when firing
removed Galilean group
removed gun flechettes
removed critical bifrication
removed railroad ties
removed incendiary (for nail gun)
nail gun:
needle gun: accurate, piercing mobs, fire 3 at a time

tech: bigger rivets (9x stack)
all nails
radioactive 2s tick (about 70% damage increase)
0.5s full tick
4s longer tick
critical hits -> explosion (from flechettes)
reroll renamed -> research
spore damage increased 25%

tech: correlated damage - duplication chance also gives % damage
(also added some minor nerfs to other duplication tech for balance)
updated in game console style and all messages to match real game commands
new names inline with lore, mod -> tech, game -> simulation
this is probably going to cause many minor bugs, so let me know what you find
new reroll display in power up selection
tech: rocket-propelled now works with all grenade tech
new level boss that fires 2 streams of small bullets that chase you
mod: add a CPT gun to your inventory that rewinds your history, reverts your health, position, velocity for 10 seconds
I expect that spamming rewind has some overpowered combos.
Let me know what you find, and your ideas on balance.
added more requirements to various mods
CPT reversal is more flexible with energy
1.5-5 seconds of rewind drains 66% - 220% energy
mod: exothermic process - renamed acute stress response
mod: heat engine - reduce max energy by 50 increase damage by 40%

requires wormhole or time dilation
several minor buffs to wormhole
small changes to mob distribution on a few maps
snake boss is updated
-fear the snake
mod neutron bomb: vacuum permittivity - gets a larger radius and a slow effect
bosses are only stunned for 1/5 of the normal stun time
mod - neutron bomb is a grenade mod, it's damage is 33% higher
direct hits also apply radiation damage over time
missiles aim better, accelerate quicker, push blocks out of the way better
crouch fire mode rapidly launches missiles vertically
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
overfill mods add energy instead of setting energy to a value
bug - blocks in vertical portals can get stuck inside the portals
fixed, but only for one portal... oh well
mobs that make a scrap bot, don't leave a block body anymore
mini black hole mobs travel through walls
mod: radioactive contamination - after a mob or shield dies, leftover radiation spreads to a nearby mob
mod: half-wave rectifier - railgun overfills with energy when you charge instead of draining
removed rail gun mod - frame dragging
bug fixed - rail gun bugs out when your charge speed gets very low
mod: sentry - mines are modified to automatically fire nails at nearby targets for 12 seconds
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: vacuum bomb is removed
mod: vacuum bomb - grenades fire slower, explode bigger and, suck everything towards them
laser and diffuse laser graphics are better
mod: output coupler - diffuse laser beam is 30% wider and does 30% more damage
requires diffuse beam
level number doesn't increase if you skip the boss (in the late game)
mod: critical bifurcation - nail gun does 400% more damage if it hits very close to the center of a mob

mod: transdimensional spores - after wormholes eat blocks, they disturb spores
mod: traversable geodesics - your bullets can go through worm holes
scrap bots now only last only 30 seconds, but they have a 20% chance to spawn from a kill (was 11%)
the difficulty should feel a bit harder after clearing the boss level
(a bit more more damage taken, and fewer mod drops)
mod: waste heat recovery is removed
mod - fracture analysis only applies to stunned mobs (not unaware mobs)
phase field is removed
new field: metamaterial cloaking
mod: phase decoherence - intangible to mobs while cloaked, but passing through mobs drains energy
mod: flashbang - stun mobs as you exit cloak
mod: electric reactive armor - reduce harm from explosions by 6% for every 10 energy
mod: waste heat recovery - laser damage grows to 400%, but you start to eject your health as a heal power up
new community level by Francois: house
mod: recursion - gives missiles a 30% chance to spawn a larger missile when they explode
mod: electric reactive armor - immune to harm from explosions while energy is full (was 80%)
mod: ammonium nitrate - explosions are 60% bigger, but they do 300% more damage to you
mod: trinitrotoluene - explosions are 50% smaller and do 71% more damage
