Characters

Bull: Changed tag "Max HP" to "Armor"
Entrepreneur: Can now start with Fighting Stick [Quarterstaff] and Hatchet
Explorer: Can now start with Hand, Wrench and Jousting Lance
Farmer: Can now start with Fighting Stick [Quarterstaff]
Knight: +5 Armor => +3
Mage: +33% Elemental Damage modifications => +25%
Multitasker: Can now start with Rock
Well Rounded: Can now start with Fist and Wrench
Pacifist: Spiky Shield removed from starting weapons. (Undocumented)
- (Editor's Note: Spiky Shield used to be a support weapon before the medieval weapon class was added. Pacifist having access to spiky shield was a leftover from the past.)

Elites

Colossus: Deals less damage, 1st phase projectiles are slower
Croc: 2nd phase charge cooldown increased, projectile ring size slightly increased
Demon: Tweaked 1st and 3rd phases, more 2nd phase projectiles
- (Editor's Note: Elites have names in the game files. Regular enemies do not. The Wiki names aren't official. We went with "Gargoyle" for the Elite, because Demon is a Character.
Mom: Reduced number of enemies spawned and number/damage of slashes in 2nd phase

Enemies

Big Chargers: 100% Knockback resistance => 90%
Buffers, Lampreys, Shooters: 100% Knockback resistance => 95%
Helmet Aliens: health increased (8+3/wave => 8+4/wave)
Junkies: health decreased (15+5/wave => 5+5/wave), 0% Knockback resistance => 50%
Loot Aliens: health decreased in earlier waves, increased in later waves (50+25/wave => 5+30/wave)
Slashers: 100% Knockback resistance => 90%, drop more materials & items/consumables (3 => 4 Materials dropped, Consumable & item chance 1% => 3%)
Small Chargers: 100% Knockback resistance => 80%
Spawners: Stay further away from the player (400 => 450)
- (Editor's Note: This means that especially on wave 14, melee builds now have an easier time choosing not to pop the Junkie Spawners)
Tentacles: Drop more materials & items/consumables (3 => 4 Materials dropped, Consumable & item chance 1% => 2%)

Changes

Wave 20 on Endless Mode now lasts for 90 seconds.
Bugs can now be reported by pressing F8 in game. Game data will be attached to the report to help us diagnose issues.
Save files have been upgraded and are not compatible with previous versions. A new save file will be created on the first launch using your existing save.
Waves with Elites are now displayed in the pause menu.
Long item text can now be scrolled with the right joystick.
Shop materials now flash when trying to spend more than the available materials.
UX improvements to character and weapon selection.
Updated formatting of weapon and structure damage modifiers in tooltips.
Updated formatting of Burning damage in tooltips. The burn duration is now displayed first, followed by damage.

Fixes

Fixed a bug where the additional value added to existing materials after the max number of materials on the ground has been reached did not take the "materials dropped" modifiers into account (affected Jack).
- (Editor's Note: When there were 50 or more materials on the ground, Jack would lose out on the triple material drop, and just get regular drops.)
- (Editor's Note: As a trade-off, Jack now no-longer has 100% Materials drop-rate, and is back to regular drops.)
The ability "-50% Materials dropped" now also affects trees. (Important for Farmer and Streamer). (Undocumented)
- (Editor's Note: Before all the characters with "-50% materials" style abilities were the same. But now there's a difference. Farmer and Streamer also have their trees halved, while Explorer, Fisherman, and Cryptid have the "-50% materials from enemies. Trees are considered Neutral within the game, so the latter three characters get 100% material drops for killing trees.
Knockback now always pushes enemies away from the player.
- (Editors Note: Before Knockback would be in the direction of the weapon that hit the enemy. So a weapon could knock enemies towards you at the end of its swing. Turrets could push them towards you, and spawned projectiles had a weird bug where the knockback would push enemies in a spiral around you.)
Charging enemies now behave more predictably when attacking close to the player.
Fixed bug triggered when pause is pressed while go button is held.
The amount of enemies is now more reliably affected by items and characters that increase/decrease it.
Enemy groups now reliably spawn together, instead of occasionally scattering over the map.
- (Editor's Note: Wave 7 was known for its Chargers to sometimes spawn scattered all over the map, making them much harder to deal with.)
Fixed issue that could cause enemies to stop moving at low speed settings.
- (Editor's Note: Some Enemies have their speed randomized when they enter the map. Before that speed didn't scale with accessibility settings. Now it does. So before, if you played with 25% speed, enemies could have their base speed reduced to for example 62, and then be hit by a +-50 speed that wasn't affected. This caused some of the enemies to spawn with a speed of nearly 0. Reversely, this changed also made runs played with the accessibility settings turned above 100% harder.)
Fixed incorrect text color for some short weapon cooldowns in tooltips.
- (Editor's Note: Some Weapons, Minigun 4, Gatling Laser, and Chain Gun had a "weapon cooldown" of 1 frame, while the minimum weapon cooldown is coded to be 2 frames. So while at lower attack speeds, the tooltip would be red because the calculated attack speed was technically slower than the default attack speed. Even if that default attack speed was illegal. Their cooldown was changed to 2 frames.)
Increased precision of short weapon cooldowns in tooltips.
- (Editor's Note: Weapon cooldown tooltip now show 3 significant numbers when their cooldown is 0.2 seconds or lower.)
Fixed the gameplay options UI layout overflowing the screen for some languages.
Tooltips no longer clip outside of the screen.

Item Fixes

Bait: Fixed UI bugs when locking multiple Baits.
Grind's Magical Leaf: Fixed a bug where the tooltip was only displaying the stats gained by the first copy of the item.
Improved Tools: Increased precision of Garden and Pruner cooldowns in tooltips when Improved Tools are used.
Incendiary Turret: Fixed incorrect rounding of damage in tooltip.
Scared Sausage: Fixed damage not being included in Incendiary Turret tooltip damage.
Scared Sausage: Fixed issues that could cause damage dealt to be reported incorrectly.

Weapon Fixes

Revolver & Chain Gun: Fixed inaccurate extra cooldown value shown in tooltips.
- (Editor's Note: The reload cooldown for the revolver is simply 8 times the "weapon cooldown" stat. However the actual cooldown for the attack speed uses both this weapon cooldown stat, and the "Recoil Duration" of the weapon. The reload tooltip calculated the reload time as 8 times weapon cooldown + recoil duration. This caused the tooltip reload time to be significantly longer than it actually was. In the case of Tier 1 Revolver, it was 3.47s vs 2.07s.)
Revolver: Fixed being on long cooldown at the start of waves.

Item Tag Fixes

Modding

Created a "Brotatools" plugin that appears on the bottom dock in the Godot Editor:

It helps simplify the creation process by generating most of the resource files for new content and linking them together.
It also imports, resize and link sprites automatically from a folder following the structure and naming conventions of the presskit.
- The presskit is available on Brotato's official Discord, see: Info Hub > #start-here.

New debug options in debug_service (undocumented):

Name	Type	Default	Description
nb_enemies_mult	float	1.0	Multiplies the max number of enemies. Applied to the min/max number of enemies per wave.
spawn_debug_enemies	bool	false	If true, enemies listed in debug_enemies will spawn each wave.
debug_enemies	array	[ ]	Array of enemies to spawn, if enabled.
coop_multiple_keyboard_inputs	bool	false	?? - Appears to allow using a single keyboard for both co-op players.
spawn_specific_boss	string	""	Enter a boss name to spawn it. Works like the debug option `spawn_specific_elite` (info here)
has_dlc	bool	true	Activates any DLCs found in `res://dlc`. Specifically, looks for dlc_data.tres files and loads them as DLCData (see global/dc_data.gd)
enable_time_scale_buttons	bool	false	If enabled, allows changing the game's timescale (Engine.time_scale) by pressing the number keys 1 (x0.5), 2 (x1.0) or 3 (x2.0).
always_curse	bool	false	Currently does nothing.

Special thanks to...

ArosRising for creating a ton of helpful documents and the Brotato MultiTool

DarkTwinge for making the Balance Mod
- (Editor's Notes: The Balance mod laid the ground work to the knockback changes in this patch, along with a ton of the balance changes.)
Everyone who contributed to the Brotato wiki
- (Editor's Notes: That's us!)

1.1.0.0-beta.6

Features

Added a Streamer Mode option with work in progress soundtracks to avoid copyright claims.
- (Editor's Notes: Brotato uses licensed music. So you can find the beloved soundtrack in many other places. Sadly this have led to content creators getting copyright claims sometimes when they have the music in their videos.)
- (Editor's Notes: Turning on this option gives you an entirely new soundtrack that won't get your videos flagged. But even if you're not a content creator, you can enjoy the soundtrack.)
