Gameplay

Adjust various mod multipliers to avoid competition with normal scores (#19715 by @peppy)

While we have leaderboards still showing all mods next to each other, we've decided to devalue new (lazer-first) mods which are seen as making the game easier. The multipliers decided here are placeholder and mainly meant to reduce competition of unworthy scores that were previously showing at the top of the leaderboards. We will continue to adjust these (and make them dynamic based on settings) going forward.

• Relax 1.0x → 0.1x
• Autopilot 1.0x → 0.1x
• Magnetised 1.0x → 0.5x
• Adaptive Speed 1.0x → 0.5x
• Difficulty Adjust 1.0x → 0.5x
• Constant Speed 1.0x → 0.9x

Leaderboards will be re-processed over the coming week.
