tech (formerly called mods) are the main power ups in n-gon. They are found by killing mobs and rarely in the wild. They have 6 types: skins, tech, instant tech,   guntech,   fieldtech, and Junk.

The most significant source of tech is Boss kills.

List of tech

skin Skins

skins are a type of tech that change your appearance. You can (generally) only have one skin.

"skinned" means having any other skin tech.
Image Skin preview Name Description Requirements (if any) Update added (YYYY/MM/DD)
tungsten carbide +500 maximum health
lose health after hard landings 		not skinned 2023/02/07, elasticity
nitinol 1.3x movement and jumping
0.17 seconds of coyote time 		not skinned 2023/02/07, elasticity (originally called squirrel-cage rotor, changed to elasticity at some point, changed to nitinol at some point)
Higgs mechanism 4x fire rate
while firing your position is fixed 		not skinned, ship mode, automatic 2021/01/12, Higgs
Verlet integration 3x damage
after mobs die advance time 0.5 seconds 		not skinned 2022/05/31, propagator (originally a regular tech called propagator, which instead gave 1.6x damage and could stack 9 times, renamed in 24/7/29, wikipedia)
Hilbert space 4x damage
after a collision enter an alternate reality 		not skinned, Ψ(t) collapse, many-worlds 2021/5/6, non-unitary (Originally called non-unitary armor)
aperture every 4 seconds your damage cycles
between 0.8x and 3x damage 		not skinned 2023/02/04, skins
diaphragm every 4 seconds your damage taken cycles
between 0.9x and 0.2x damage taken 		aperture 2023/02/07, elasticity
mass-energy equivalence energy protects you instead of health
1.3x damage 		not piezoelectricity, CPT symmetry, annihilation, or quantum Zeno effect 2020/04/13, pilot wave field
depolarization 0.5x damage for 4.0 seconds after a mob dies
4x damage otherwise 		not skinned 2024/02/08, depolarization
CPT symmertry after losing health, if you have above 85 energy
rewind time for 20 energy per second 		not skinned, standing wave, max energy reduction, retrocausality, mass-energy 2020/11/27, CPT (Originally called CPT reversal)

Normal

These are all the normal tech in the game.

Image Tech Description Requirements (if any) Update added (YYYY/MM/DD)
1st ionization energy convert current and future into
give +15 maximum energy 		mass-energy equivalence, not quenching 2020/09/26, ionization energy (originally called ionization energy)
repolarization the damage from depolarization
resets after 1.25 seconds sooner after a mob dies 		depolarization 2024/02/10, hyperpolarization (originally called hyperpolarization)
causality bots when you rewind build scrap bots that protect you for about 9 seconds CPT, retrocausality 2020/12/10, CPT mods
causality bombs when you rewind drop several grenades CPT, retrocausality 2020/12/10, CPT mods
ternary 1.9x damage while your ammo is evenly divisible by 3
(1x) 		2023/03/04, factory
integrated armament 1.3x damage, but new replace
your current and convert    		only 1 gun 2020/07/27, level elevators
arsenal for each unused in your inventory 1.25x damage
(1.00x) 		at least 2 guns 2020/08/14, arsenal generalist mod
cooling for each unused in your inventory 1.25x fire rate
(1.00x) 		at least 2 guns 2021/01/08, complex spinstatistics
pigeonhole principle 1.4x damage per , but your active cycles each level and you can't switch at least 2 guns 2022/10/24, pigeonhole principle
marginal utility 2x ammo per for [random gun] 2024/03/31, remove keyword
Pareto efficiency all your randomly get 5x or 0.2x ammo per at least 3 guns 2024/01/31, remove keyword
logistics 2x ammo per , but ammo is only added to your current not non-renewables 2020/06/09, mod: logistics
cache 15x ammo per , but you can't store additional ammo not non-renewables 2021/10/06, cache
catabolism if you fire while out of ammo spawn and –2 maximum health not non-renewables 2020/02/09, added several new mods
non-renewables 2x damage
you can't pickup 		not catabolism, quasiparticles 2020/09/05, exciton-lattice (originally named exciton-lattice and later shortened to exciton)
