About the pull request

Fixes Issue #7229, Fixes Issue #7533, and a bunch of other bugs that never got reported. Mostly number changes, I have a big list of other bugs that I'd like to fix but don't know how. Non bug fixes include:

  • Nerfed range/fuel economy/fuel capacity/biomass cost on the research custom tanks, to encourage actually giving superfuel to the flamer specialist instead of every John Marine with an M240.
  • Removed NGN/ACR (brute burn heal) discount tags, so they're pricier at high levels again to cut down on wolverine marines that outheal damage dealt to them.
  • Slight excreting effect added to neurotoxin plasma is to reflect Sentinel's Slowing Spit can now drain Medical and Research chems on hit #7230

Explain why it's good for the game

When the caps were first put on the upgraded flamer tanks, the contributor who added them said he'd be surprised if they ever got reached. Well we've definitely proven they can be. If a marine wants to be a ghetto flamer specialist, he should at least have to carry a couple flamer tanks instead of lasting all round on just one, and cutting his range by 2 should make it easier for xenos to stay away from him/attack him from a distance. The biomass costs might be too hard of a hit but I think the rest of the changes will be healthier for the game. Range 5 shots/tank will go from 40 to 20.

NGN/ACR (brute and burn healing properties) were given their discount tag to encourage people to make healing drugs instead of godstims every round, but then researchers just started putting max level NGN/ACR on their godstims instead (turning marines into wolverine). PNK and EGN aren't used at all, maybe a slight buff to them encourages those stim goblins to make something different.

Changelog

🆑 Nimiety
balance: brute/burn healing properties for research made more expensive, painkilling/electrogenetic properties made cheaper
balance: reverted old flowing property buff, superfuels should be slightly more expensive
balance: research upgraded fuel tanks made more expensive, efficiency and range reduced.
