Update 1.31f:
- DoomRL Arsenal compat: changed formulas for dropping for armor/weapons DRLA Arsenal. Now there is a more pronounced difference in chances between gradations (Exotic > Superior > Unique > Demonic > Legendary). The cases when find several unique items in a row or vice versa - get a succession of standard items - are minimized. But it also depends on luck and map level (depending on your settings);
- DoomRL Arsenal Extended compat: the Nomad class can now carry all DoomRPG items between levels of the following types: Powerups/Stims/Augs/Turrets. The concept of the Nomad class remains intact, he still throws out weapons/armor/modpacks (except for the best pistol and demonic artifact);

- now regeneration and freezing time spheres can appear on maps instead of other spheres (not much chance);
- money drop is reduced;
- fix "Can't pick up some rocket boxes". For details, click here.

- fix "Legendoom Lite health pickups not working" #355;

- reduced inventory capacity for use items. 6 at start, and 1 for every 5th level of Capacity (or for every 8th if "Natural Stats Leveling" enabled).

Thanks to quippo0 for:
- fixed regen timers in stats menu displaying twice the actual time;
- made movement-based regen rates match what the comments said they should be;
- added perk level requirements display in stat menu perk page, because I forgot this was already open;
- fixed excess DRLAX items disappearing.
- added display perk level requirements;
- added chaingun guy and pain elemental familiars to gizmo unlocks;
- fixed modpack reviser not using RNG to pick reward;
- fixed arachnotron familiar dying when combat starts;
- fixed hell knight familiar passive working too fast;
- fixed hk passive affecting non-cooldown powerups;
- fixed Demon Assembling thing not taking RLDemonArtifactLimits;
- AddHealth and AddHealthDirect would give negative vitality XP if the health bonus was negative. they'd also delete any HP over MaxPercent, which may have been intentional, but the only use case is the Unmaker altfire health drain and I don't think it's supposed to function that way for more than one reason. as such I've removed this health capping behavior.
- changed return value from 1 to the amount healed, so the caller can know how much of the heal was applied, rather than if it was successful or not.
- fixed the EP-overflows-to-shields-and-health shield accessory only working when your shields initially reach full charge then doing nothing
- fixed the regeneration perk taking your EP regen rate increase as your burnout increases
- DRLAX balance changes:
- fixed the dark marty familiar becoming hilariously powerful after a few maps. he gains permanent attack increases on map change, so it doesn't trigger when transporting to or from the outpost now. it can still be triggered by replaying completed maps, which is in line with his description, but that may need to be adjusted in the future;
- also added compatibility with kinsie metaprops, since that mod removes the props it was checking for.
Minigame update:
- added minor variance to initial spin speed, so you can't just hit the item you're aiming for 100% of the time;
- made luck stat influence speed variance, reaching minimum variance at 100 luck;
- tied ticking sound to when the wheel actually ticks over different items, so the sound slows down as the wheel slows down;
- made the wheel settle onto the item before it spits out the item.
Further regen fixes:
- movement-based regen worked way differently from what the comments indicated;
- made regen timers keep overflow when completing a regen cycle because that's how it ought to work;
- added display current item count when disassembling.
Update 1.30c:
- added the ability to change the type of loot system (in DoomRPG -> Loot Generation). Now you can choose the type of loot system:

- Depends on the Luck Level only.

- when a turret is used from an AUG battery, the flow rate will be calculated according to the learned turret upgrades;
- the "Battery Capacity" turret upgrade now also reduces consumption if the turret is used from an AUG battery.
Update 1.29b:
- the mechanics of turret's autoreload have been redesigned. Now the turret always replenishes the ammo;
- now at the outpost turret charges the battery, fixes and upgrades faster (to save time);
- the cost of charging, repairing and upgrading turrets has been rebalanced. Also changed the principle of withdrawal of credits for this;
- added the dependence of the rarity of items appearing for shop special (now the rarer items appear in a later stage of the game);

- changed drop of bosses and megabosses (added drop of recipes and modpacks from DRLA, also there is a chance of drop of weapons and armor from DRLA);
- now drop energy shields from bosses depends on game stage (more powerful shields at later stage);
- added a new branch in AUG - to enhance the power of Summoned Monsters;
- now each summoned sammon increases the cost of the "Heal Summon" skill and the cost of summoning the sammons themselves (the "summon mastermind -> focus -> summon mastermind -> ...." abus-cycle no longer works);
- it is now possible to enable Sammons to automatically teleport to the player (single-player only) depending on the distance between the player and the Sammon (look for it in DoomRPG Options -> Misc);
- improved behavior of monsters if there are sammons. They are now much more useful than before;
- summoned marines are upgraded and change weapons (a total of 24 types) in proportion to the player's character level. Weapons from the DRLA are taken as the basis, so the infantryman's ability to pump works only with the DRLA turned on;
- each marine has his own sprites (936 new sprites) New infantrymen sprites were taken from the Marineskins v7 mod;
- marinesare get improvements when a certain amount of Level and Energy of the character is reached;
Full list of the new marine 's arsenal:Spoiler:- now the maximum number of extra lives is 5;
1) Marine with Pistol (Lv. 1 - Pistol, Lv. 2 - Combat Pistol, Lv. 3 - Dual Combat Pistol);
2) Marine with Battle Rifle (1 level - Battle Rifle, 2 level - High Power Battle Rifle, 3 level - Vanguard Battle Rifle);
3) Marine with Shotgun (1 level - Shotgun, 2 level - Combat Shotgun, 3 level - High Power Combat Shotgun);
4) Marine with Double Shotgun (1 level - Double Shotgun, 2 level - Quad Shotgun, 3 level - Quad Shotgun Mk2);
5) Marine with Chaingun (level 1 - Chaingun, level 2 - Minigun, level 3 - Laser Minigun);
6) Marine with Rocket Launcher (1 level - Rocket Launcher, 2 level - Missle Rocket Launcher, 3 level - Cluster Bombs Launcher);
7) Marine with Plasma Rifle (level 1 - Plasma Rifle, level 2 - High Power Plasma Rifle, level 3 - Plasma Rifle Mk2);
8) Marine with BFG9000 (1 level - BFG9000 , 2 level - VBFG9000, 3 level - BFG10000).
- added the ability to completely disable aura icons above the player (they are useless in single-player game);

- add Corpses Cleanup function (in DoomRPG Performance options).
- fixed false positives Survival Bonus and Extra Life.
- improved Toaster Mode.
- fixed the dependence of the cost of skills on the use of auras. There was an interesting bug: if I turn on aura that should reduce the cost of skills, the actual cost of skills was displayed incorrectly (because the use of aura itself increases the cost);
- now the dark blue aura (regenerate ammo) does not work in Outpost in peacetime (you could regenerate ammo infinitely);
- fixed minor bugs with the use of AUG;
Changed "Soul Steal" skill mechanics:
- each soul absorbed using the "Soul Steal" skill now gives a bonus to the corresponding characteristic, when the player accumulates a certain number of souls, he gets the corresponding aura level;
- the "Soul Steal" skill has a base cost of 50 EP (+5 ep for each accumulated soul, cost cap - 200 EP);
- the first absorbed soul gives +30 to the timer, this value will decrease depending on the number of accumulated souls (the more souls, the harder to maintain the bonus);
Added checking the type of armor when repairing at the Outpost. Now it is consistent with the balance of DoomRLA, namely: it is impossible to repair the following armor:
- Fire Shield Armor;
- Tower Shield Armor;
- Ballistic Shield Armor;
- Energy Shield Armor;
- Plasma Shield Armor;
- Rechargeable Energy Shield Armor.
And there are many other changes in the balance. Just try it for yourself.
