Squid Polyp

Adds Squid Polyp, a new Blue powerup inspired by Risk of Rain 2, to Muck.

Activating an interactable spawns a Squid Turret for 30s. It shoots the nearest enemy every 0.75s for 100% of your weapon damage. Each extra stack adds +100% attack speed.

The turret stays where it spawned. It does not move, and it cannot be killed. Stacks do not make it last longer. They only make it shoot faster: 2 stacks every 0.375s, 3 stacks every 0.25s, and so on, down to a floor of 0.08s.

What counts as an interactable

You do this	Turret?
Open a loot chest	Yes
Start a battle totem	Yes, once per totem
Repair a station	Yes
Buy a trade from the woodman, paying coins	Yes, once per purchase
Open the woodman's trade window, or sell to him	No
Open a workbench, anvil, fletching table, furnace, cauldron, or storage chest	No. They are free. CountFreeStations turns them on
Revive a player at a grave or a respawn totem	Yes, for the reviver
Pay a Shrine of Chance, if that mod is installed	Yes
Pick up wood, rocks, or other ground items	No
Open or close a door	No
Leave the island, or wishlist Karlson	No

Stacks

Stacks	Attack speed	Seconds between shots
1	100%	0.75
2	200%	0.375
3	300%	0.25
4	400%	0.1875

Damage is the held weapon's attack, times your strength, times 100%. A bow uses the loaded arrow. An empty hand uses 10. The turret remembers how many stacks you had when it spawned. Picking up another Squid Polyp speeds up the next turret, not the ones already out.

At most 4 turrets stay up. A fifth removes the oldest.

Multiplayer

Everyone in the lobby needs this mod, and the same set of powerup mods. A vanilla peer does not know the new powerup id and will error when a Squid Polyp drops.

The turret is simulated on the machine of the player who activated the interactable. That machine sends the hit. The host applies it once, through Muck's normal damage packet, and does not also run the turret. Other players see the hit numbers, the kill, and the loot. Only you see the squid and its bolt.
