Content Updates
Turret refresh:
- Turrets no longer require power. Instead they must be supplied with bullets through their menu or through item pipes.
- Turrets that fire for sustained periods of time will overheat. Overheated turrets cannot fire until they cool.
- Water can be supplied to turrets in order to prevent overheating.
- "Automatify" Woperator ability now grants turrets significantly higher fire rate. This also means they overheat faster, so make sure to hook them up to a rain barrel or water pump!
Extrusion Machine:
This is a new crafting station that'll test your mastery of Minicology's automation mechanics. Extrusion machines use three inputs - water, power, and ingots - in order to manufacture tempered metal bars that can be used as in the creation of advanced mechanisms and weapons.
Jelly Nest:
This is the first of many additions to Minicology's Point of Interest pool. Jelly nests feature a Jellyfish Psion miniboss. This psion commands an army of buffed jellyfish, and can target the player to inflict Psionic Ruin - suppressing your ability to heal and deal critical damage. Defeating the Psion will drop the "Ascendant Tentacle" accessory, granting you the ability to hover.

-New muzzle flashes for several E-corp guns
-New sounds for turrets and guns
-New sounds for several enemies
-Changed tutorial-triggered button highlighting to be more obvious
-Removed unobtainable items such as shrumlogs from 'equivalent items' pool for wood. This should make reading wood-based crafting recipes a little easier.

-Adjusted damage threshold for Puffer Shield accessory.
-Added prompt for right-click-based research menu navigation
