Mycopunk News

[p]Hey employees! Today's update features some nice improvements to Ouroboros plus other miscellaneous fixes. All very exciting, I know. We're also finishing up our next major update, which will be on its way to you soon™![/p][p][/p][h2]Ouroboros Scaling[/h2][p]We’ve been looking at Ouroboros boss health and it scales up way too fast, especially when it’s compounded with already increased enemy health on higher threat levels. And that’s no good so let’s change it:[/p]

• [p]Boss health increases much slower and has a lower max value[/p]
• [p]Boss health doesn’t increase as much with more players and on higher threat levels[/p]
• [p]The maximum amount of enemy waves per room is now 2 instead of 3[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Ouroboros Upgrading[/h2][p]No more spending resources to unlock cleansed Ouroboros upgrades! No more getting all greens at the start of a high level run! No more cheese with holes in it! Seriously why do they put holes in cheese. It’s weird.[/p]

• [p]Cleansed upgrades are automatically unlocked[/p]
• [p]Handheld Pocket Universe can’t be rerolled into a different upgrade[/p]
• [p]Upgrades given at the beginning of an Ouroboros run are more likely to be higher rarities when playing on higher threat levels[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Upgrades[/h2]

• [p]The Cycler’s Rocket Burst upgrade no longer stacks burst size/interval in Ouroboros (previously it just got worse the more it was stacked, which is DUMB)[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue with Dump Charge firing out like 50 bullets when tapping the trigger if Infinity Burn was also equipped[/p]
• [p]Increased the damage from the Plate Launcher’s Nice Catch by 15%[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Fixes[/h2]

• [p]Improved placement of Ouroboros spawns in open levels[/p]
• [p]Ouroboros shops and Coinflip Colin spawn oriented to the ground in outdoor levels[/p]
• [p]Filled holes underneath a few desert buildings that weren’t supposed to be there[/p]
• [p]Missile Array and Grenade Spewer parts are now correctly marked as metal instead of dirt[/p]
• [p]Laying Cable now correctly modifies the cable sound for other players as the cable stretches[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the Plate Launcher would occasionally play its recall animation on a different weapon[/p]
• [p]Melee prompt is no longer missing from collectable pumpkins[/p]
• [p]Fixed a rare bug that could stop you from equipping cleansed upgrades that were using a different upgrade’s pattern[/p]
• [p]Enemy health bar visuals now only take core & shell health into account[/p]
• [p]The Codex displays normal upgrade patterns when you have Handheld Pocket Universe equipped[/p]

[p]Hey employees! We've got a small update with some fixes and Ouroboros balancing that we'd like to test out on the beta branch before releasing to everyone. If you play the beta we'd love to hear your thoughts on the changes to difficulty scaling! Here are the full patch notes:[/p][p][/p][p]To switch to the beta branch:[/p]

• [p]Right click on Mycopunk in your steam library and go to properties/betas[/p]
• [p]Enter the beta code 'OysterAttack' to unlock the beta branch[/p]

[p][/p][h3]As a reminder, always back up your save before switching to the beta branch![/h3]

• [p]Navigate to C:\\Users\[username]\\AppData\\LocalLow\\Pigeons at Play\\Mycopunk\\Profiles[/p]

• [p]Boss health doesn’t increase as much with more players and on higher threat levels[/p]
• [p]The maximum amount of enemy waves per room is now 2 instead of 3. We felt rooms took too long to complete after room 28.[/p]

[p]Feeling Lucky[/p]

[p]Ralph’s Conundrum[/p]

• [p]Ralph is even more confused. Damage type now switches after firing a shot.[/p]

[p]Lucky Last[/p]

• [p]AOE Damage from explosive bullets deals 35% less damage. Direct hits still deal full damage.[/p]
  • [p]Lead Flinger has good AOE with its explosive upgrades — the intent with these changes is to improve its damage while leaving its AOE damage roughly the same as before.[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue that caused the game to consume a team revive if there was only one player alive and the host predicted they would die from damage but they actually didn’t[/p]
• [p]If you somehow get into a room before it has been activated, the doors will now unlock so you don’t get trapped[/p]
• [p]Improved some areas around the edges of the Moldy Tundra where Ouroboros rooms could spawn on really steep terrain[/p]
• [p]Fixed an Ouroboros room with a rideable pipe that clipped through its wall and had a few areas where enemies would teleport to you[/p]
• [p]Your selected weapons and employee are correctly restored if you collect Interim Manager or switch weapons, exit before completing another room, and later continue your run.[/p]

• [p]Fake ID and Interim Manager can no longer reroll upgrades into different rarities[/p]
• [p]Wrangler’s Synthetic Adrenaline upgrade applies correctly when stacking multiple copies[/p]
• [p]Wrangler’s Dust Kick and Tuck’n’Roll upgrades no longer duplicate their cooldown indicators when stacking multiple copies[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where Wrangler’s Eyes Up Here upgrade would make all targets immune to your damage when stacking multiple copies[/p]
  • [p]We count negative damage as immune, and we calculated the stacking damage boost incorrectly for this upgrade so it was multiplying all of your damage by a negative number. Isn’t that fun![/p]
• [p]We’re aware of some weird inconsistencies when pairing Cosmic Microwave with other upgrades that increase outgoing elemental damage. Changing this requires some fundamental changes so this fix will come later once we’ve had more time to test it.[/p]
• [p]Improved placement of terminals after killing the amalgamation in levels after the first Ouroboros level. This should stop terminals from ever spawning in unreachable locations.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a bug that could trap you in the menu if you successfully gambled Interim Manager[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Other Fixes[/h2]

• [p]Reduced the amalgamation’s liquid flamethrower range by 67%[/p]
• [p]Bindings in upgrade descriptions update correctly when you switch your bindings[/p]

• [p]Fixed some fungus in Titan City that was letting large enemies path through it[/p]
• [p]Roachard’s collider and dialogue box are now in the correct place when he’s sleeping. I tried telling him to stop snoring but he just looked at me.[/p]

• [p]Glider’s Saxonite Shackles upgrade now displays the correct chance value for its turbocharged stat[/p]
