New Upgrades: Interest Modifiers

I have added new upgrades to increase your economy. Interest Rate upgrades add to your interest rate percentage. You start at 3%, and for example the +2% upgrade will increase this to 5%. Interest Cap upgrades are multiplicative. You start at a cap of 100g, and for example the 5% upgrade will increase this to 105. A subsequent 10% upgrade will increase it from 105 to 115.5, which rounds to 116.

As with nearly everything else, each of these upgrades comes in four rarities.

I think the base interest cap is perhaps too high. It takes several interest rate upgrades to hit the cap, so I'm thinking about reducing it to 50g to start. Maybe!

Changes / Fixes

  1. I fixed a bug where non-critical damage from any weapon was dealing damage as though it were the Auto Cannon. Oops!
  2. Modified the size and positioning of the upgrade inventory on the upgrade screen
  3. Modified the tooltips on Lifesteal, Critical Hit Chance, and Interest Rate because they're additive percentages and need different language.
