A collection of random ideas that come to my head.

REQUIRES `MEEPofFaith/black-hole-renderer` TO RUN. THE GAME WILL CRASH WITHOUT IT INSTALLED.

Meepscellaneous Concepts

MeepscCont.jar

<ul>
<li>EMP stun status effect now has an icon</li>
<li>Add reload and bullet stats to harmacist</li>
<li>Harmacist fires more often</li>
<li>Harmacist now leads targets</li>
<li>Fix harmacist missing bundles</li>
</ul>

Fixes

<ul>
<li>Missile homing now leads targets</li>
<li>Some decluttering
<ul>
<li>Removed the grand poo that was only visible when funi mode was active</li>
<li>Properly hide test/incomplete content</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Tiny Homing Improvement

<ul>
<li>Missile homing actually works now.</li>
<li>Updated sprites and shadows of missiles.</li>
<li>Removed hydroconveyor - Has been moved to <a href="https://github.com/MEEPofFaith/tranqol/releases/tag/v7">Additional Logistics</a>.</li>
<li>Fixed shield projectors being hexagonal instead of square.</li>
<li>Fixed bloom not applying to missile trail fade.</li>
</ul>

Missile Improvements

<ul>
<li>Fixed static nodes missing laser sprites</li>
</ul>

Minor Fix

<ul>
<li>Updated to the latest version of black hole lib. Please stop telling me that it crashes.</li>
<li>Added black hole nuke
<ul>
<li>Sucks in units in the area then explodes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>EMP nuke now is a cloud instead of a ring of orbs.</li>
<li>Missile physics changes
<ul>
<li>Missile frags (recursive missile and cluster nuke) are now rotation-based. I'm not gonna bother explaining it, just know that splitting at closer range will spread not as far while splitting farther away will spread further out.</li>
<li>Missile homing is now rotation based and thus it'll look less awkward.
<ul>
<li>Cluster nuke homing is temporarily disabled because I haven't finished doing the math. I'm only making this release to make people shut up about the black hole lib problem.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Missile Stuff Getting Even More Out Of Hand

Fix the mod name being spelt wrong.
"MEEPscellanious" -> "MEEPscellaneous"

v28.1 - Mod Name is Spelt Wrong

<li>As a result, the shield projector is now a rectangular prism.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Kugelblitz now has proper proper black hole drawing
<ul>
<li>Requires <a href="https://github.com/MEEPofFaith/black-hole-renderer">MEEPofFaith/black-hole-renderer</a> to be installed.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Sandbox content has been removed from this mod and moved to its own dedicated mod, <a href="https://github.com/MEEPofFaith/extra-sand-redux">MEEPofFaith/extra-sand-redux</a>.</li>

</li>
<li>Popeshadow now uses region parts instead of messy draw code. (Why isn't this point rolled together with the last point?)
<ul>
<li><img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/54301439/169217380-4e6acae3-5738-43d9-8c8d-2ad8f74a551d.gif" alt="popeshadow"></li>
