Depth Variations

- New biomes will be added with updates (farmland, cathedral, laboratory and desert have been planned)
- Current biome name appears briefly onscreen after getting there
- Depth 1 should have less enemies right away, giving players more time to find chests
- Higher depths should spawn enemies more frequently

- If set to drop an Item, barrels will now exclusively drop Helmets or Armor unless your Luck is 5 or higher
Portals
- No longer closes if it detects that there were items remaining in the field (now the UI arrows should indicate that and you can safely ignore them if you want). Mostly applies to situations where you had a lot of range and would destroy offscreen barrels that dropped items.
Weapons
- Increased hitbox size of all melee weapons to make up for overall reduced enemy collisions.
- Added a rotation offsets so the point of weapons targets the cursor precisely
- This should mainly impact locked autoaim with long polearms and guns

Spike, Bone, Star, Lightning
- Standardized spellcasting, now require an amount of hits to trigger, which decreases with Brain and increases with more spells and more arms.

Sporebro
- Takes longer to absorb others
Murai/Bownes
- Chance to become Limbless after death on Depth 1 is 0%, back to 33% for Murai and 20% for Bownes respectively on Depths 2+; this is entirely to avoid impossible runs with Sorcerer who may start in the forest.
