Entity Researchers Version 1.1

Just a small update with a few minor bug fixes and Steam Controller input; there's a basic controller config available but please share any new configurations.

It's pretty hectic using the controller to boost Criticals so I may implement a new way to click these, button combos or something of the like. If you have any suggestions please let me know...
Hope you enjoy the game!

Notes:
Minor bug fixes
Controller support

Entity Researchers XP Analysis

Here's a closer look at some Entity Researchers XP data and Mission requirements.

The Experience curve for leveling has changed considerably over time, Levels 1-30 remain the same but the later game became a grind. As you can see below XP required from level 30 onward is reduced significantly.


Experience curves for Level 1-50


Entity XP yield has increased by around 10%, though as you level up the XP will reduce accordingly, Casefile and Elite entities drop a little extra XP increasing by around 15%.

As many entities will be capped to their maximum level, XP gain slows in the later levels further compounding the grind in the previous XP curve.
This could be somewhat mitigated with +XP Up Unique items though this modifier is quite rare for dropped Uniques leaving this option dictated too much by chance.

As Missions are compulsory to the completion of the main Entity Researchers narrative more players should now reach the final group of Missions.
Below you will find a list of Missions and individual Level requirements:

Lvl
10 - 01: Entities Aquatic
16 - 02: Masks Off
22 - 03: Burning Belief
28 - 04: Overload
35 - 05: Illumination
42 - 06: Body Snatchers
48 - 07: Last Known Location
52 - 08: The Sunken Ward
55 - 09: Dark Times
(Complete Dark Times) 10: The Grand Opening
