tech cloning requires > 25% dup chance, and is now only 2x (was 3x) your dup chance for a second boss
playing with the 4 community levels now removes 4 random levels from the level list
tech: dark patterns - reduce combat difficulty by 1 level and add 16 junk tech to the potential tech pool
tech: cloning - chance to spawn another level boss = 3x your duplication chance
tech: dynamo-bot: a bot follows your history, damages mobs, and regens energy when it gets close
tech: dynamo upgrade: more energy regen
iridium-192: now has a wider explosions range and no knock back
nail gun: irradiated nails do about 33% more damage over 2 seconds
nail gun rivet fire rate is 10% slower
nail gun: needles do 10% less damage, but they fire 10% faster
needle tech: ceramic needles - needles pierce shields
duplication bug fix
renaming custom mode -> experimental mode
experimental mode is available again even without completing lore
mob: sneaker is a bit faster and stronger
(the invisible one that attacks from stealth)
tech: unified field theory - switching guns uses a reroll to cycle your field
lore: chapter 1 and 2 are now somewhere in the game
lore is the same for all difficulty levels
testing mode and custom are now locked by default until you reach chapter 1
or just hack the game to skip the lore and enable testing and custom
localSettings.loreCount = Infinity;
localStorage.setItem("localSettings", JSON.stringify(localSettings));
bug fix: performance greatly improved on drawing multiple duplicated power ups
various bug fixes
Laser+slow light prop+crouch= all but one laser stays in original position
CPT rewind and gun: correctly put you back into a crouch position
Higgs + rail gun allows movement
blocks don't linger at the bottom of portals anymore
squirrel cage - move even faster, but take 5% more harm
tech: iridium-192 - explosions are radioactive, +80% damage, spread over 4 seconds
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
rivet gun: accurate, ballistic arc, doesn't use much ammo
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)
health background finally updates to show max health changes
tech: rest frame is removed
tech: inertial frame - gain 66% fire rate, but you can't fire when moving
tech: dead reckoning - when at rest do 33% more damage
requires inertial frame
tech: Galilean group - when at rest take 50% less harm
requires inertial frame
tech: antiscience - 100% damage, but lose 11 health when you pick up a tech
tech: laser widebeam + output coupler can now stack up to 9x (was 1x)
but it not longer works with tech: slow light propagation
tech: active cooling - 15% faster fire rate for each gun in your inventory
tech: specialist - spawn a random power up for each gun in your inventory
(not available in custom, requires tech: generalist)
tech: complex spin-statistics - become immune to harm for 1s every 7s
requires Pauli exclusion
even less difficulty ramp after killing final boss
reroll renamed -> research
spore damage increased 25%
ice IX has it's damage buffed by 50%, and freeze effect lasts 2s (up from 1s)
ice IX is no longer a gun
but you can still get it for nano-scale field (and it's pretty strong)
tech: heavy water was removed
tech: correlated damage - duplication chance also gives % damage
(also added some minor nerfs to other duplication tech for balance)
beating the final boss automatically increases the difficulty mode for this run and future runs
some foam balancing, mostly buffs
standing wave harmonics gets 15% harm reduction again
foam dissipates a bit faster, has less ammo, and does 60% more damage per second
tech: foam fractionation - foam is 100% bigger when you are below 200 ammo
difficulty now increases linearly, even after beating the final boss
fixed some math on laser tech: diffraction grating and slow light propagation
they were giving too much damage
flechettes are slightly improved in: ammo, damage, fire rate
tech - MIRV can now stack up to 9 bonus missiles
removed tech - recursive missiles
tech: cruise missile - 50% larger size, but travels 50% slower
tech: missileBot - requires gun: missiles
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
