πŸ”„ CHANGES

  • SETUP DIVE Button Warnings:

    • "Tractor" Barrel + "Tempest" Guardian: Tempest is designed around Knockback builds but Tractor barrel disables Knockback.

    • "Tractor" Barrel + "Gloves" Mod: Gloves won't buff Knockback since Tractor Barrel disables Knockback.

    • "Tractor" Barrel + "Magnet" Mod: Magnet does nothing since Tractor Barrel disables Knockback.

  • Hover Text "TIP"s: None of them were appearing in-game for Mods that have a newbie "TIP" text line set (note that you won't see these anyway if you've used the Mod many times).

  • RECORDS Menu: Now properly shows values in the Trillions, and formats numbers better (ex. "1234K" now displays as "1.23M"). This also affects damage numbers during dives.

πŸ”¨ FIXES

  • RECORDS MENU:

    • "BESTS" stats would sometimes decrease.

    • Some values under "STATS" were accummulating twice as fast (this can't retroactively doublely-increased stats).

  • "Tractor" Barrel + "Disc" Bracket: was producing weird behaviour when used with Hitscan weapons.

  • DRAFT Modediscovering a new weapon would sometimes result in the Skip & Reroll button dissappearing for the remainder of the run.

  • "EVASION FROM CHIPS CAN'T EXCEED 50%!" Chip-add warning was appearing when trying to add the wrong Chip.

  • Sometimes, locked shop items would get replaced with DNA Letters - this was flying under my radar for a long time.

  • Pausing a dive (returning to Main Menu in SHOP) with SKIP SHOP enabled would effectively reroll the items in the shop when you resume the dive.

  • It was possible to unlock stuff (and get achievements for) completing DEPTH 5 in any Mode without ever having done so.
