    • Slowed down player scaling.

      • Some buffs we're overtuned in the last patch

      • Added new tools to easily tweak these values. Expect hot-fixes in the next day or two based on feedback.

    • Once again buffed enemy scaling, added a few new enemies into the basic pool

    • Charge Drones now explode on death.


Fixes

    • Hard scaling math was done in the wrong order, so by minutes 20+ there was practically no difference between hard and normal. This has been fixed.
