Cataris

• Changed: Thermal Device Room South: The connections to the thermal door that closes after using the thermal device now logically remains open when door lock rando is disabled and the "Can Slide" and "Shoot Beam" templates are satisfied. This is a handwave that makes the thermal device no longer a dangerous resource.

• Changed: In Artaria - Water Reservoir, breaking the blob is no longer "dangerous", as long as Slide is not randomized. This was previously dangerous because there's a connection in EMMI Zone Exit Southwest that makes use of Speed Booster, however, by simply adding a "Can Slide" option on the same condition, the logic now sees the blob as safe.
• Changed: In Burenia: Fighting Drogyga is now only "dangerous" if Highly Dangerous Logic is enabled. This is achieved by adding a Highly Dangerous Logic constraint on all instances where the logic uses "Before Drogyga" on connections in the Underneath Drogyga room.
• Changed: Move victory condition to after Raven Beak, and encode all requirements to finish the escape sequence to that connection. This avoids having a "dangerous" resource at the end of the game.
• Changed: In Burenia - Main Hub Tower Middle, lowering the Spider Magnet Wall is now "dangerous" only when Highly Dangerous Logic is enabled. The connection from the bottom of the room to the Pickup Platform that uses Grapple Movement requires the Spider Magnet Wall to not be lowered now requires Highly Dangerous Logic. The randomizer currently doesn't have the necessary options to make this connection mandatory in any seeds anyway.
• Changed: Most instances of pushing Wide Beam Blocks by using Wave Beam through walls now no longer need Wide Beam. Notable exception is Dairon - West Transport to Ferenia, from below.

• Changed: Boss fight logic now understands how damage values work with Split Beams behavior.
  • Affected bosses: Robot Chozo fights, Chozo X fights and Raven Beak.
  • Having only Plasma Beam or only Wave Beam is only used to fight the Robot Chozos, at Combat Intermediate.

  • Having Wide Beam and Wave Beam is considered as the same bracket as Wide Beam and Plasma Beam.
• Changed: Exclude Ghavoran door between Flipper Room and Elun Transport Access from being shuffled as a Grapple Beam door in Door Lock rando. This is to enable a Ledge Warp to flip the Spinner from below.
• Changed: In Ghavoran - Flipper Room, rotating the flipper the normal way can now be in logic before having pulled the Grapple Block at Right Entrance or having turned on Power Switch 2 in Dairon, if Transport Randomizer is enabled.
• Changed: Revised logic for fighting Corpius
  • When using missiles without an ammo requirement, the X must not have been released.
  • Using Cross Bomb is moved to Combat Beginner
  • For Missiles, Super Missiles and Ice Missiles, the number of required missiles is reduced by 1, which matches the pre-existing comments. These alternatives remain Combat Intermediate.
  • For Missiles, Super Missiles and Ice Missiles, these can now also be used without combat tricks, but you need 1.5x as many units of Missiles ammo as the combat trick version.
  • Added Storm Missiles.
• Fixed: A typo in the room name Ferenia - East Transport to Dairon has been changed from East Transport to Darion.
• Fixed: In Burenia - Teleport to Ghavoran, to open the Plasma Beam door from below, add requirement to have Plasma Beam. This becomes relevant with Separate Beam Behavior.
