Summary (AI)

Genome Guardian 2 patch 0.7.2 adjusts several gameplay balances and fixes. The Curler Guardian's damage reduction was increased from 30% to 35%, while the Powerpolyp and Deposit chance boosts were lowered to 300% from higher values to prevent overpowering effects. Several bugs were addressed, including fixes to the Mandible and Heatshield mods, and improved behavior for projectiles in the Orbit bracket. UI improvements were made to the Research menu and unlock condition displays, alongside various fixes to language, platform positioning, and gadget behaviors.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Powerpolyp Chance +400%: +400% → +300%. (consider that the base Powerpolyp chance is already like, x2 what it was compared to Genome Guardian 1 - you shouldn't become unstoppably overpowered after one Chip) (also it's functionally been 300% for a while anyways and I just forgot to change the text lololol)
Deposit Chance +500%: +500% → +300%. (literally one of these Chips would result in you having a seemingly endless supply of Bleaches, Rerolls, Banishes, AND extra Biomass, AND you'd achieve victory with like 3 Lives to spare)
All-T Microbes: their gradual size growth is now more pronounced.
"Orbit" Bracket: projectiles with bounce will now gradually go back to orbiting after they bounce.
"Jester" Guardian: sometimes only 1-3 description lines would show if language wasn't set to English.
"Spider" Platform: could push your nanobot below the visible area in SHMUP Mode.
Mandible: last update broke it, oops.
Heatshield: it was only claiming to have a 5s timer - would actually protect from frontal hits forever (and nobody noticed until now, heh).
Weapon ACGT "Chromaelstrom": the slot warning stating that it can't use Sticky was still occurring (it absolutely can use Sticky as of 0.7.1).
unlock condition progress now looks like "123000 / 123000" instead of "123k / 123000".
Russian Abyss Transmissions would sometimes go off the screen.
