Nodes:

-Added 20 new nodes related to Power

-Added 15 new nodes related to AGI

-Added Quantum Processor and the machinery required to power it

-Reworked AGI. It now requires Intelligence made up of all neuron types to level up and power multiple AI tasks

-Reworked Server. It now outputs infinite Upload Speed when cooled

-Added Comment Code

-Added Translate Code

-Disassembler now duplicates files based on their amount of enhanced modifiers

-Disassembler now adds the mirrored modifier to files, and no longer duplicates files that were already duplicated

-Identifier now identifies all range of compression and enhancement levels

-Files can now be compressed and enhanced up to 3 times by default

-Reduced Compressor cycle multiplier to 1x (was 2x)

-Replaced Encompressor with the new Lossless Compressor, which can compress files without removing enhancement modifiers and without the quality penalties from compression

-Increased Flipper cycle multiplier to 4x (was 3x)

-Codes can now be optimized up to 3 times by default

-Optimize Code now scales Optimization Code requirement by 1 per optimization in the code

-Miner has been divided into Copper Miner and Silicon Miner

-Removed Factory Space requirement for all factory machines

-Factory machines no longer have a node limit, with the exception of the Copper Miner, Silicon Miner, Excavator and Oil Pump

-Breach targets (with the exception of banks) now have elite levels that act as bosses every 5 levels. These have larger defense layers, a longer time to breach as well as 10x more reward

-Overflowing damage to firewall no longer carries over towards breach progress

-Distillator has been reworked. It now multiplies inserted neurons by its quality, removing every modifier in the process

-Added Neuron Reinforcer, which replaces the old Distillator functionality

-Reworked heat formula

-Heat Sink had its heat capacity tweaked

-Maximum overclock power has been increased to 12 (was 10)

-Redownloader now counts towards the "Fixed Files" stat

-Boosts are no longer divided between outputs

-Factory machines now have an upgrade cap

Upgrades:

-Removed Factory Space upgrade

-Removed all upgrades that increased node capacity for machines, with the exception of the Copper Miner, Silicon Miner, Excavator and Oil Pump

Research:

-Added Power research branch

-Added Quantum Computing

-Added 2 new coding related research

-Added Reinforcement Learning, which unlocks the Neuron Reinforcer node

-Removed Compression Level 2 and 3

-Removed Enhancement Level 2 and 3

-File Processing has been separated into Compression and Enhancement. Compression being unlocked first and Enhancement later

-Distillation has been moved to post-AGI

Optimizations:

-Added Optimized Breach Skills

-Added Optimized Critical Payload

-Added Optimized Charged Attack

Applications:

-Added Bulk Fix

-Replaced Encompressor with Lossless Compressor

Files:

-Compression modifiers now merge instead of stacking multiple times

-Enhancement modifiers now merge instead of stacking multiple times

-Compression now reduces file size by 20%, 50% or 75% and quality by 0%, 25% or 50% based on compression count

-Enhancement now increases quality by 1 per enhancement, and size by 50%, 100% or 200% based on enhancement count

-Files with quality below 1 no longer produce research

Coding:

-Reduced optimization quality multiplier to 2x (was 4x)

Requests:

-Requests for compressed files now requires files with 3 compression modifiers

-Requests for enhanced files now requires files with 3 enhancement modifiers

QoL:

-Reworked the nodes menu. It now has more node categories, displays total node count, and has a search function

-Node Group resize buttons now scale with camera zoom

-Added red dots to nodes, upgrades and shop menus to indicate when a new node or upgrade is available

-Codes now display their quality and value in their description

-Added a BGM Frequency setting

Misc:

-Added a new song: Factories Of Light

-Added LOD to nodes, drastically improving performance when the camera is far away

-Improved node rendering performance

-Added batch rendering for selections

-Heat is now displayed in Kelvin

-Added a coding guide

-Updated and added new information to guides

-Removed some irrelevant stats

-Renamed the "Reconstructed Files" stat to "Fixed Files"

-Added a Portal Time stat that tracks the time since you entered the portal

-Added a stat that tracks produced variables

-Updated engine to Godot 4.6.1

Bug Fixes:

-Fixed premium items description clipping

-Fixed duplicated schematic name

-Fixed Infect Payload removing modifiers from Payload Damage
