  • This kind of upgraded blood explosion now has a slightly different sprite. (Also used in Skeleton's secret ultra)

Horror

  • Default beam now halts square bullets

Eyes

  • Telekinesis now moves explosions

Viking

  • Reduced damage of Serpent Armour strike at high levels.

Y.V.

  • Thronebutt now checks for original active cost when firing. It still costs 4x ammo so you'll go into negative but it no longer prevents you from shooting.

Good O'l Humphry

  • Once again has 8 health instead of 6

Elementor

  • Active now prioritizes secondary ammo over primary (and will use any available when one of them is melee)

Angel

  • Now prioritizes secondary ammo over primary (and will use any available when one of them is melee)
  • Increased angel's deflect duration by one frame and reduced by 1 frame when stacking it

Business Hog

  • The game now pauses while you have the shop menu open! Allowing you to use the active in the middle of all the action!
  • When spawning a weaponmod and using it, it no longer closes other weapon mods

Robot

  • Auto eat weapons left in an area is now part of the base passive. Auto eat now occurs at the end of the portal animation

Hands

  • Reduced ultra B inverted portal overheal from 5 to 4
  • Ultra delicate hands, no longer lets you target rads, this was a bit awkward as there were so many. It will still collect rads though.

Weapon Smith

  • Weapon modder ultra extra mods that spawn in each area no longer close other weapon mod stations

Good O'l Humphry

  • When enemies are stunned they no longer deal contact damage to you

Doctor

IDPD Vans

  • Are now acompanied by offscreen square bullets! They do have an indicator though but travel very fast. Amount invreases each loop up to loop 4

Crown description

  • Hovering over a crown thats walking around will now display a description and the name of the crown

Crown of Sloth

  • No longer decreases difficulty/weapon tier.
  • Slows you slightly more

Puffy Cheeks

  • Now has a small delay on automatic weapons that fire with a long reload time. This should give you a little more control over how many shots you want to unleash.
  • Basicly it makes it so you dont empty all your energy ammo when you fire a fully pre-loaded lightning cannon

Boiling Veins

  • Now makes it so explosions only deal damage to you once (similar to retail). Kind of halving the damage they deal

Armour balance

  • Crown of protection and nerves of steel no longer increases your armour maximum, instead it will set it to 1 if you have 0 armour max.
  • Taking crown of protection no longer gives you armour right away but the next weapon you find will always give you armour

Simplified Mutation descriptions

  • Mutations now have a simplified description. You can toggle between detailed and simple description with Right mouse button. This is because you now a wider selection of mutations and those mutations have become more complicated. In order to keep some of the simplicity of OG throne this system should quickly give you an idea of what a mutation does without reading tons of texts. Then if you want to know the ins and outs you can but its a little more optional, and the game should communicate clearly that you do not need to know those details per see for you to get good use out of them. I've also used this system to add some more descriptions to mutations such as Y.V. so you can actually tell what the fuck BRRAP means. And I've gone through all the mutations and tried to provide the actual percentages where possible for the stat lovers.

Explosion hitbox (for the player) now lingers for much longer its now the same as in retail, so explosions will be much more deadly. Also increased the hitbox size by 1 pixel

Confirm action requests

  • Added some confirm requests for drastic actions such as restarting or ending the game.

Big Machine

  • Small rework:
  • No longer swaps hitbox between exposed and non exposed state.
  • Instead blowing up the exposed part will blow up the middle attack leaving it in non exposed state forever and it will deal additional damage to the main body.
  • While in protected state no longer has damage reduction, adjusted health to compensate.
  • Turrets now explode when big machine dies

Controller Support

  • Movement is now relative to how far you push the stick and now has a small deadzone on both ends
  • LB / L / L1 is now mapped to swapping weapon by default, makes a little more sense as you do not have to let go of the aim stick to swap weapons (let me know if this is not a good idea)
  • X (PS)/A (XBOX)/(B Nintendo) and RB / R / R1 now also picks up weapons
  • Dpad now also controls movement
  • Implemented aim smoothing
  • Now works in mutation select screen (can also use keyboard)
