Notes
The update notes claim that the Mega Massive Munitions Factory's "Main Spike bonus damage to MOABs" was increased, but its damage modifier to MOAB-Class Bloons is still implemented incorrectly and does nothing, so while the value was changed, it makes no functional difference. The change to its mini spike storm correctly affects the damage it deals to MOAB-Class Bloons.
The official update notes include a list of joke changes for Perma-Spike:
Regarding Permaspike, this update we decided to take an in depth dive into its inner workings and we decided the following changes would be good to make
xx5 Permaspike range set to 42
xx5 Permaspike attack cooldown set to 6.0625s
xx5 Permaspike pierce set to 50
xx5 Permaspike damage set to 10
xx5 Permaspike damage type set to Sharp
xx5 Permaspike projectile radius set to 6
xx5 Permaspike projectile age set to 300s
Lastly we decided to look at spike duration. As it happened, buffing the duration of permaspike has created a rift in space time, and according to a time scientist who exited from this rift, what we had done was so unfathomably stupid that the fabric of the universe was unfolding. In order to save the multiverse as well as tonight's dinner we had to send a team of highly specialised space ninjas into the rift in order to defeat the evil demon king who was the true culprit behind this rift, and sadly in the process of defeating the demon king we were interrupted by time cops who forced us to revert the change in order to restore the space time continuum. Needless to say, this reset in the space time continuum also reverted recent balance changes and so xx5 Permaspike remains unchanged.
