TL;DR - We have added 21 new relics, as well as 10 new action cards. We are also adjusting the cadence of certain type sof rewards, and now that there's more Legendary shiny toys to play with, they'll appear a little more often and will be able to be bought from the shop. Also, the Geneticist is a bit less annoying. Enjoy!

Quality of Life
Adjusted some effects so they play in order from left to right, from top to bottom, when the effect should be predictable. Not all of them are changed yet. Will be reviewing and making sure it stays consistent throughout the game.
Balance
The Geneticist had her pesky plant transform skill swapped for one that applies Infection. As much as I love the concept of the transformed plants, it affected how you could excel on following stages. Considered making her simply summon the plants, but it then messed up with certain builds way way more than others.
Have also done some changes here and there, as described below.
