tech: rotary cannon - nail gun (and rivet gun) have increased fire rate, muzzle speed, recoil, and accuracy
experiment -parthenocarpy- spawn about 50% more mobs
perimeter defense and network effect each give 1% more bonus per bot (around an 18% increase for each tech)
extra bosses spawned from parthenogenesis and apomixis have health increased by your duplication chance
(if you have 50% duplication the extra boss have 50% more health)
apomixis no longer costs 8 research

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!
extruder graphics have a cool glow
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
plasma jet now works with extruder
new mob: slasher - it's basically a jedi

time dilation reverted 50% -> 0% collision harm reduction
time dilation can no longer get tech: symbiosis
nano-scale: can access tokamak and discrete optimization
cache: 11x -> 13x ammo
bug fixes
pausing time or being cloaked gives you 50% harm reduction from mob collisions
no-cloning theorem duplication => down to 42%, but no longer removes 1% on bosses
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

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

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

returned experiment gun and field circles
new gun harpoon
tech: filament - harpoon rope gets 1% longer for every harpoon ammo in your inventory

harpoon is pretty unbalanced, but I'm pushing it out so ya'll can let me know how I should balance it
more harpoon tech to come
2+ harpoons out at once
hold fire to extend rope longer
improved targeting: so it can hit the same target a few times

power ups in the intro tube get pushed around a bit, this might stop them from sliding on the walls
mines when they are stuck to walls no longer collide with blocks (to not block elevator)
more bug fixes
blockBoss: new boss based on work by TheShwarma
(3x chance to randomly see blockBoss until next patch)
it's over powered, I'll probably nerf it next patch, but I want to get some feedback first on how to nerf it
hint: if you kill the boss all the mobBlocks turn back into blocks
very very small blocks are slightly limited in how fast they can be thrown
they were moving so fast they would miss their target sometimes
tech: energy conservation gives 5% energy back (was 6%)
tech: arsenal requires at least 3 guns in your inventory
tech: active cooling requires at least 2 guns in your inventory

bug fixes
tech: blast mines - mines stun when they activate
laser mines only fire if crouching (so you can fire normal mines when energy is low)
mines now includes the radius of the mob when calculating mobs in range
so it will detonate from the final boss from farther away
mines have a small random chance to detonate from targets up to 40% father away
time dilation field drains less energy for the first few seconds, but linearly ramps up energy drain as you stay frozen in time
unfreezing time returns you the normal drain rate in half the time to ramp up
this should be a buff for all situations, except someone who has a huge external source of energy

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
new laserBombingBoss
I didn't do any difficulty testing, so maybe let me know if it's too easy
laser and plasma bots will target mobs bullets
non updating health bar bug fix
tech: brushless motor - drones rush more often and do 44% more damage
requires torque bursts
tech: orthocyclic winding - irradiated drones are faster and do more damage
requires irradiated drones
automatic aiming systems (bots, drones, missiles) will ignore the pink seeking mob bullets
safari is super buggy, I'm guessing no one that reports bugs uses it.
fixed scroll bar covering up pause right side text on safari and firefox
fixed issue with ctx.setLineDash sometimes making the player dashed on safari
various other bug fixes

removed powder actuated, nail gun ramps up to full fire rate with just pneumatic actuator
needles and ice crystal nucleation can get supercritical fission and irradiated nails now
supercritical fission crits easier
labs exit platforming is a much easier since it's in the general rotation now
bug fixes
"labs" is now in the normal map rotation

fixed a bug that was giving experimental mode full life at the start
perfect diamagnetism field has a 10% larger radius and arc
the 1/15 second cooldown after blocking with perfect diamagnetism no longer stops you from blocking
it still disables field damage effects and player recoil after blocking (for 1/15 of a second)

some mobs can now sense you by "smelling" where you were
they check for a clear line of sight with your last 10 seconds of history
snakeBoss, blinkBoss, sneaker
extra bosses no longer spawn on final level
beating the final boss clears mobs that spawn after a mob dies, like powerUpBoss
phonon and isotropic radiator range reduced about 10%
shotgun balance
ice-shot: less spread, higher damage, more crystals
needle-shot: more needles, higher damage, less spread
foam-shot: 1 more bubble
power up selection and pause menu elements scroll individually now
it looks great on my computer, but different operating systems and browsers are unpredictable
let me know if text is hidden or if it doesn't scroll for you and what OS and browser you're on
shotgun techs:
(I haven't done enough testing so let me know if these different shotgun modes aren't balanced)
worm shot
ice-IX shot

slime, radiation fields, black holes
energy regen that consumes something (ammo, blocks, power ups) now works when immune to harm
but passive energy regen is still stopped while you are immune to harm
pilot wave field can no longer hit intangible mobs with blocks
