AscendedUpgrades

Adds special Ascended Upgrades that you can use to infinitely upgrade towers.

When a tower has no more available upgrades, you can begin choosing between 3 repeatable Ascended Upgrades to continue powering it up. Each Ascended Upgrade you use increases the cost of future ones.

1.2.0 - 2025-08-30

• Internal rework for the upgrade checking to be more compatible with other mods that affect upgrading like Paths++ and Ultimate Crosspathing with <15 upgrades allowed
  • As a byproduct, Tier 4 towers can receive Ascended Upgrades if you have the Tier 5 for their highest path already

1.1.0 - 2023-12-06

• Fixed for v40.0
• Reworked the way Ascended Upgrades internally stack, which means:
  • No more lag from purchasing upgrades / selecting towers
  • Upgrade effects now stack additively instead of multiplicatively by default
    • I made this change because otherwise the power scaling far outpaces the cost and can trivialize freeplay
    • The old behavior can be restored by enabling the "Op Multiplicative Scaling" mod option
    • Changed the default Upgrade Cost Increase setting from $1000 to $500 now that it scales less
• Upgrades now have additional effects for the non damaging effects of towers
  • Ascended Strength also increases the value of cash generation effects and improves damage buffs given by the tower
  • Ascended Speed also increases production speed (bananas/crates per turn) and improves attack speed buffs given by the tower
  • Ascended Force also increases capacity of banks/traps and improves range/pierce buffs given by the tower
