bug fix decoherence
seeds are displayed in pause menu and intro map
seeds from your previous run is displayed in settings after you die
fixed some minor seed inconsistency
all runs are now seeded
seed defaults to the last 8 digits of UTC time in milliseconds
set a custom randomization seed in settings
seed controls:
at start - boss list, mob type list, level list, horizontal flip
during run - tech, gun, field choices, some custom level randomization
doesn't control: mob spawns, mob size, some minor level differences, specific level boss choices, ammo reward values, specific tech effects
bug fix with ground state
tech: particle collider - in pause menu clicking a tech ejects it (5% chance to lose the power up and convert into energy)
(also works on testing without the tech)
growBoss no longer goes invulnerable

delete blocks caught inside it as it returns
revolutionBoss is immune to damage at 1/4,1/2,3/4 health until it's laser spins around one revolution
thermocouple produces 1-9 -> 4-13 ice nine bullet
thermocouple is on by default until next patch
decoherence rewrite with flags instead of a banish array, to fix bugs

no power ups check box in experiment mode now disables all types of power ups, not just tech
simulation.isNoPowerUps
powerUps can no longer move through doors
this might lead to problems that I haven't thought about, but let's see
adiabatic healing now updates active heal power ups as well as future ones
fixed bug with undefined tech not showing up
powerUpBoss no longer gets invulnerability after death
but powerUpBossBaby still has it

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%

or kill the player in n-gon
time dilation tech: retrocausality - instead of pausing time your field rewinds time, including your health
this tech replaces replaces CPT gun

wormhole
activated on mouse up
draw an outline of the wormhole to show if can work at your mouse location
adiabatic healing: adds 5% JUNK in addition to 100% better heals
several tech pool frequencies have been adjusted to roughly this rule:

the percent values may seem like more but I actually lowered the JUNK chance about 10%
meta-analysis no longer requires replication - (if you choose a JUNK tech get a random tech and 3 research)
symbiosis: only gives 1 bonus tech (was 1 or 2)

tech.removeTech() method has been improved
bug fixes
perimeter defense and network effect each give 1% more bonus per bot (around an 18% increase for each tech)

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

and 75% more damage to player
boom bot explosions are 16% smaller
laser-bot does 15% more damage

tech: phase velocity also adds 15% wave damage (because it disables phonon is was a bad choice)
many duplication tech add less duplication
Maxwell's demon now requires current energy above your max to unlock
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
5% laser damage increase
15% mine fire rate reduction
ctx.clip() is back for metamaterial cloaking field
it wasn't the source of the lag, firefox is just slow on my work computer
tech: buckling was disallowed, but I fixed it so you can get the tech again
tech: MIRV - now effects grenades and super balls in addition to missiles
no change for super balls and missiles, but this is a new tech for grenades
undetonated mines are returned at the end of a level
removed tech: mine reclamation
mine gun has 30% less ammo
laser mines do 7% less damage
booby trap now comes with 53 JUNK (up from 33) but it's mines can be returned for ammo
removed ctx.clip() from metamaterial cloaking field for performance reasons
the graphics look a bit different now, maybe not as good, maybe it's just different
iceIX bullets last 50% less time, but do 50% more damage and have 25% more thrust
so it's more of a close range bullet
ice-shot has 2 fewer bullets
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
360 wave beam has reduced mob slow effect
new boss snakeSpitBoss - it's just snake boss but it shoots little pink seekers
tech: cross disciplinary - get an extra gun or field option in tech menu
now that you can scroll the selection menu can be longer
unified field theory - now gives 6 research, in addition to letting you switch fields when paused
cardinality renamed emergence - and gives some JUNK
bug fix where game crashes if you beat the boss
Matter.World has been replaced with Matter.Composite
matter.js deprecated World
could cause problems merging your old code
(replace World with Composite in your code)
tech: many worlds - now costs 1 research at the start of each level to activate
a nerf, but also a buff because if you like a build you can freeze it by not getting research
mine gun has 25% less ammo and 33% more damage
railgun now gets 50% more ammo, but it fires slower
fixed rail gun ammo drain on misfire bug
fixed experiment gun display bug
tech: chain reaction now requires vacuum bomb, but it increases grenade radius and damage 33%
(and makes blocks explode)
needle gun fires with more regular timing
needles despawn 1.5s faster, for performance reasons
intro level power ups are relocated
tech: decomposers renamed necrophage
if mobs are one shotted before they see you, they no longer alert nearby mobs
clicking on a mob in testing will log that mob in console
"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 has more health, but it's much slower at easy difficulty
tech: Lenz's law -perfect diamagnetism field stays when you aren't holding field
tech: Zeno's paradox - every 5s lose 10% of your current health, but get 84% harm reduction
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
foam shot
needle shot
foam lasts much longer on shielded mobs
overall foam damage is reduced about 8%
attacks that drain energy don't work when the player is immune to harm
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
it was too annoying that you can't use blocks to move around so I reverted it back
tech: weak anthropic principle - after anthropic principle prevents your death, gain 50% duplication for that level
anthropic principle now correctly gives 6 seconds of harm immunity after preventing your death
almost all energy regen is disabled while immune to harm
you aren't immune very often so you may not notice, but it will limit some builds that let you get almost constant immunity
Pauli exclusion gives 1 s of harm immunity (was .75 s)
CPT reversal requires 10% less energy (min energy is 60% to activate)
CPT grenades gives many more bombs
CPT bots gives many more bots
growBoss balance: a bit smaller and slower, and a extra high chance to drop a random power up when you kill one
sneaker mobs are a bit slower, and have much lower health
starter mobs are no longer aggressive
gun tech will now only show up for your active gun
set CSS max width of the update element to match other elements
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
I hope this will increase build variety and also give more value to making good tech choices
countless bug fixes and wording fixes
mobs have a new trait mob[i].damageReduction
"pressure wave" renamed "phonon"
tech packet length removed
most wave beam tech is now compatible with phonon
wave beam tech: isotropic radiator - phonon has shorter range but expands in every direction

irradiated drones do 33% more damage, 33% less collisions damage
5% more ammo, 30% less range, don't lose duration on collisions
pseudoscience only gets 3 free rerolls per tech
