Change: Skill Loadouts should now turn red immediately if you have less skillpoints, instead of requiring a mouseover.
Change: Modding API has been expanded further. (Thank you, TabularElf!) Images and sounds can now be replaced, and there's examples of these mods in the mods folder.

Change: Collection and Settings scrollbar now has a bit of deadzone when using gamepad analog.
Change: XP cans setting has been reverted to 1 for everyone. Because this setting was in the game prior to the Contamination update, and then reintroduced, there was a lot of people who had the option disabled prior, forgot about it and then suddenly had performance issues unsure what had changed. This is just to put everyone back to what they'd expect, and everyone who wants it off can just turn it off again.
Change: Skill Loadouts will now tell you how many skillpoints were invested into it, and also warn you if you have less than that amount, so you don't ruin your loadouts when prestiging.
Change: Optimization pass on XP cans.
Fix: Fixed an issue where Ban #10 wouldn't be saved when changing loadouts.
Fix: Psycho Helmet didn't properly scale with GameSpeed.
Fix: Beating a run with 0 upgrades chosen used to result in the collection returning a ???, but now it properly shows 0. For that one insane person.
Fix: When IVBag overheal is enabled, minimum HP is clapped to 0 to make Doom Delay interactions more consistent.
Nerf: IVBag overheal time, 30 * VERSION > 20 * VERSION.
Buff: Tank Suit retaliation bite damage increased, HP*4 > 50 + (HP*4).
Buff: Tank Suit retaliation bite knockback increased, 6 > 8.
Buff: Worn Suit cooldown adjusted, -50% > -20%.
Buff: Absorb Suit instantly absorbs all experience created.
Buff: Perfected Suit now has a permanent corrupted Reroll.
Nerf: Absorb Suit XP radius reduced, +500% > +300%.
Change: Optimized Suit now needs 2x XP to level up, but gets two VERSIONS per upgrade.
Hope everyone is doing well! <3 I've been trying to sort out some Points Shop related stuff lately. Fingers crossed that will be up soon! What've you been listening to?

Change: Doubled the amount of backups the game makes.
Change: Halo's description is updated.
Change: Catspeak modding API has been reimplemented and you can now mess with it. I left some examples in the game's folder. Special thanks to Katsaii and TabularElf for creating Catspeak and GMLspeak respectively. Since this is still early, some changes might happen in the coming days that requires you to rewrite your code.

Change: Adjusted how 50 Mortality Boss is displayed in the Collection.
Fix: Battery Saver will now work properly with the reworked Halo.

Added: Gave Versatile suit a unique passive.
Change: Centas can no longer pass through wormholes, due to issues with their bound spinning bullets flying super duper fast. I might fix this later, but for now, consider it a funny quirk about the centas. hehe :)
Change: Even more themes were added to the 'randomize song' pool.
Change: After 50 Mortality, even more songs are added to the pool.
Change: Defense Turrets will now individually randomly choose if they should defend you or if they should shoot the enemy nearest to them. Effectively doing both about 50% of the time.
Change: In the collection, if you've surpassed 25 Mortality, the newer basic enemy sprites will show.
Change: Thanks to CryptixDT in the Discord: Optimizations have been made to the Core and how it calculates damage when a high amount of them are equipped.
Fix: Fixed a bug where flawlessing the Biker wouldn't give you the requirements to see the alternate Beach ending. So if you were going for that ending/achievement, this is the reason why! Sorry for the pain. :(
Fix: Fixed an issue where the Worm boss would go invisible behind the background if you went far enough from 0,0. ( I hope, tell me if you have this happen again )

Fix: Fixed 'damange' spelling mistake.
Fix: Statue of Metamorphose now properly applies Curse.
Change: Made it more obvious you need to click ON the arrows to adjust Overdrive.
Change: Monthlies and Dailies are unlocked by default now.
Change: The Chainsword will no longer 'automatically' unlock if you owned the associated achievement prior to the update. I wanted there to be a grace period where the majority of players could get it as soon as they booted it, but now that people are resetting their games, they're automatically being given the weapon no matter what - If you missed your chance to get the weapon AND you have the achievement already done, just go to the Credits screen and click the button that says 'Restore Save' and it will update your save with all rewards associated with the achievements you've unlocked.

Change: Decreased the spawn-weight of Snipers, Warpers, Exploders and Droids.
Change: Higher antilag levels increases XP Cans 'xp sucking' size.
Change: Sentry 'circle' now has a maximum range, to avoid situations where there are so many that they are so far away that they are no longer viable.

Change: Starting the process of swapping out all ds_lists for simpler arrays, for optimization. Tell me if you notice any weirdness!
Change: Banning an item will only return an item you already own now.
Change: The three upgrades that appear will be ordered by how many times they have been upgraded, so the most upgraded will be 1st and the lowest will be 3rd.
