ruins/pavilion map is adjusted to be a bit easier to move around
crouching speeds up exit door animation
removed google analytics
bug fix with power ups and frozen time
bug fix with elevators and map collision
first 4 levels of the training maps are live
this is very much a work in progress, but I'm putting it up for feedback
stunned and frozen mobs do no harm by default
removed tech: osmoprotectant - stunned and frozen mobs do no harm
tech: annelids - randomly increase worm size and damage up to 100%

undefinded tech no longer shows up on your first couple times playing, since it's a distraction for new players
mantisBoss: 3 punching mobs, eject your ammo when you get punched
invulnerable except for 1 second after moving
powerUpBossBaby: smaller, cuter, faster, can't move through walls
slashBoss renamed revolutionBoss

bug fixes
tech: Occam's razor - remove 50% of your tech and guns; `for each removed get 36% damage
tech dormancy removed
tech: predator - if you have killed a mob in the last 5 seconds increase damage by 50% and disable energy regen
tech: torpor - gives the opposite of it's previous effect
if you have NOT killed a mob in the last 5 seconds reduce harm by 72%, else increase it by 10%
relativistic momentum - pushes blocks in addition to mobs
not much benefit, but it's fun
supply chain: still doubles ammo, but now also adds 5% JUNK (yay)
it no longer has any tech requirements
inductive coupling: 600% -> 700% regen while crouched
JUNK tech: density - blocks are 100x times less dense
tech descriptions can change their text dynamically now
only a few tech are using this option so far
tech: inductive coupling - regen is increased by 500%, but you only regen when crouched
tech gun turret gives 55% -> 60% harm reduction
also I fixed a bug where it was giving 45% not 55%
old tech inductive coupling is renamed: permittivity
permittivity gives 3 -> 4 max energy per unused power up
1st ionization energy gives 6 -> 7 max energy per heal
tech expansion - no longer costs energy to expand standing wave field
JUNK tech planetesimals now can spawn tech in n-gon
or kill the player in n-gon
grenades display their trajectory, to help you aim

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
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%)

start with 7/7 undefined tech if you choose an -experiment- and no other tech
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

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
orbs replaces some power up text descriptions
player damage taken is increased by 1%
finalBoss ramps up the mob spawns more slowly, making lower damage high survival builds more effective on the finalBoss

bug fixes
"labs" is now in the normal map rotation
experimental mode is now endless (no gauntlet, finalBoss, ...)
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)
mass-energy now works with catabolism by removing max energy to make ammo
ergodicity - now reduces difficulty by 2 levels and prevent healing from heal power ups (was all healing)
Noether violation gives even more forward recoil

blinkBoss - teleports after you, drops grenades after each teleport
sneaker (the stealthy black pentagons) - decloaks slower, moves slower, is smaller, has more health
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
2 more lore chapters (5 total now)
entering testing mode makes a sound now
reduced the requirements and frequency for many tech so that they may show up in "less optimal" situations

lore conversations are better at recovering from speech API freezes
(if the speech API doesn't work after 10 seconds it switches to pure text)
to prevent misclicks when you grab two power ups in a row there is a 1/2 second delay before power up selections can register
I also added in a 0.25 fade in effect on the power up selection menu. Can you tell?
tech: pseudoscience - adds 0-4 JUNK to the potential tech pool (was 1-5 JUNK)

to help with lag when killing packs of mobs
preparation for more lore chapters

also lore conversations should now have better timing between the text and voice
lore conversations can now recover from some speech errors and try again with safer settings
this seems to allow speech on my firefox browser
added a console command to make it easier to quickly unlock testing mode
lore.unlockTesting()
pressing "b" in testing mode now gives you 10000 research and the damage from research tech
tech: pseudoscience - renewing power up choices costs no research, but adds 1-5 JUNK to the potential tech pool

your damage will feel lower, and you will take more harm,
so you should probably play on a lower difficulty
