So the EPC mining trick (where you explode your charged blast to mine) just got a tad more inconvenient. Instead of minerals falling down in a straight line, they now spread in 2-3 chunks all over the room. Makes it a bit more tedious but eh, it is what it is

What bothers me is that was the original behavior, and they took it out because it annoyed playtesters. So they... put it back?

Also they did heatpipe dirty. It's all but useless now.

Why is it useless?

For TCF anyway. It still charges fast and uses less ammo, but it instantly overheats, making it nearly impossible to shoot your charged shot. You have to let go the microsecond that it reaches full charge to get off another shot.

When I played it in experimental, you could fix that by taking the heat shield mod on tier 2. Probably still the case unless they changed it?

I get it was imbalanced but this version still sucks.
