General

-Added new rooms to the underground mines! These rooms are in a new area behind a locked blast door. You can unlock it by defeating the boss and restoring power, or you can force it open early by paying some scrap to do so

-The rooms have interactable objects inside that you can use in various ways, giving you an added level of agency and decision making when it comes to your item builds

Interactable Interface

Enemies

-Reduced the waves per threat level from 5 to 4, now there's a total of 20 waves to beat (previously 25) Our goal is to shorten the total run time of a run, so the game will be quicker hop in to and beat!

-The average scrap income from waves overall will remain the same as before
