missile-bot now benefits from all missile tech
rail gun has a bit less ammo and fires a bit faster
in between how it is was in the last two patches
rail gun gets less energy from half-wave rectifier
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

it still disables field damage effects and player recoil after blocking (for 1/15 of a second)

ergodicity - now reduces difficulty by 2 levels and prevent healing from heal power ups (was all healing)

(doesn't effect tech that gives random bots)
bug fixes
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

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

complex spin-statistics gives 1.5/7 harm immunity (was 1/7)
also tech frequency was halved
tech fermions is now on by default: thrown blocks can collide with intangible mobs
pilot wave uses 5% more energy for balance
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

irradiated drones can't get a slowing effect anymore
it was just too annoying

removed spawn.boost( from n-gon
make boosts with these commands:
const boost1 = level.boost(2550, 1500, 1700) //x,y, boost height
const boost2 = level.boost(-3400, -2050, 3000)
level.custom = () => {
boost1.query();
boost2.query();

NEW COMMUNITY LEVEL n_gon by Oranger
experimenting with some code the automatically positions blocks into the center of buttons
let me know if anything acts oddly as a result

some bug fixes
cleaned up elevator physics, added ability to hold the elevator at one location
added elevator with a on/off button to level highrise (0.6 chance to show up)

it could add some bugs so let me know
elevators have more realistic physics
you can jump off them when they get to the top (fun!)
blocks interact with them in a more healthy way (no bleed through)
they can have a wider range of healthy speeds
it can hurt mobs
