- AMMO_REFILL_SCALE 0.75 on ammoRefillFraction (smaller refills)
- AMMO_DROP_SCALE 0.75 on all three ammo spawn sites (room clear, elite,
normal kill); help/gameplay drop-rate text updated; cache v=41
tools/score_weapons.js ranks the arsenal with a behavior-aware model:
effective DPS (bounce/boomerang/AoE/DoT multipliers), real engagement range,
spread-based accuracy, and damage pool per ammo load. Tier moves:
- Cleaver Cadence 0->1 (440px range + return re-hit outguns the starters)
- Bile Blunderbuss 1->2 (134 effDPS + slow + pools is secretly a heavy)
- The Cauterizer 2->3 (252 effDPS, highest sustained DPS in the game)
- The Tenderizer 2->3 (134 effDPS AoE, outscores Spinal Tap)
Tiers now: T0 repeater/marrow, T1 cleaver/saw/hemophage/eye,
T2 bile/guthook/fleshmasher/trapqueen/redhand, T3 cauterizer/tenderizer/
spinaltap/swarmjar. Smoke test pins the 2/4/5/4 distribution.
- 10+ tabs at fixed 108px overflowed the 920px panel; tabs now shrink to fit
- Implant rows grew a rarity/cap sub-line but kept 20px spacing; now 26px
with 10 rows per column (20 items/page, 5 pages for 82 items)
- Bump asset cache to v=39; smoke test asserts tabs stay on-screen
Legendaries (cap 1, boss-only): Butcher's Oath, Second Skin, Twin Sidearm,
Crimson Metronome, Abattoir Engine, Gore Crown, Thousand Teeth, Hollow Father,
The Last Cut, Meat Grinder. Once-per-floor flags reset in nextFloor.
Balance fixes: Ghoul Heart now +4 HP (2 full hearts); Brass Magazine ammo
efficiency uses the same diminishing additive formula as Scrap Feed.
- Bigger gore-red Minis (r10->14, sprite 32->48) with regenerated art
- Wider, walkable doorways: clear passage for open, teeth only when locked
- 500ms spawn telegraph so wave spawns no longer blindside the player
- Item stickiness ramps 10%/owned item (cap 50%) instead of flat 50%
- Title-screen Pressure Dial (-5..+5) tunes rise/relief; score x live pressure
- Vitals HUD: two-row hearts, half-container outlines, half-heart shield pips
- Readable 8-page field manual (bigger panel + fonts, implants split)
- HUD opacity slider in pause menu (boss bar + toasts stay opaque)
- Scrap Feed now has diminishing returns like Thick Hide
- Docs, cache-bust v37, and smoke coverage for all of the above
A [?] HELP button (or H key) on the pause screen opens a seven-page
technical manual: controls, run loop, arsenal, mutations, implants,
bestiary and pressure/defense math. List pages render live from the
WEAPONS/ITEMS/PERKS/ENEMY_TYPES/BOSS_DEFS tables so values never drift.
Also unifies the sfxbank fetch cache-buster with the v36 bump.
The perk now grants a 3% roll per stack to mend half a heart on combat
room clears instead of a guaranteed heal. Worm Gut's guaranteed room
heal is unchanged; the new roomHealChance stat is separate.
Custom app:// privileged protocol (standard, secure, fetch, stream) serves
the game so absolute /assets/ fetches and streamed mp3 loops work without
game code changes. Borderless windowed fullscreen, F11/F12/Ctrl+R/Ctrl+Shift+I
accelerators, single-instance lock, and an opt-in MS_VERIFY harness that
drives a run and dumps asset/audio diagnostics.
Pinned electron@40.10.2 + electron-builder@25.1.8 for Node 20 compatibility.
Builder allowlist ships only runtime content and excludes assets/raw.
