Build 26373149

v1.0.5 - Combat & Economy Rebalance

DIFFICULTY NOW MATCHES YOUR ACTUAL BUILD

Enemy health and damage per stage are recalculated from the upgrades a player can realistically own at that point, instead of an outdated health chain.

• Early stages: enemies hit about 11x harder than they did - they used to be nearly harmless.

• Late stages: enemy shots no longer one-shot you

• A well-built run kills a normal enemy in reasonable shots even in late stages

ASTEROID LOOT FOLLOWS Curve

Asteroid counts and multipliers now track the damage curve

• Mid-game stages that were squeezed to ~0.2x drop are back on the curve.

• Stages 16-25 pay out extra ore; final-stage small rocks drop 3-6 instead of 1-4.

• Mining still holds about 20% of stage time - rocks are worth shooting again.
