This version disables double-tap to dash in favor of keybound dashing. And, methinks, is the superior version.

1.3 Update. Trouble not thineself with worry.
-Briefly tested with Frackin' Universe. Works as intended.
-Compatible with NO tech mods that edit the vanilla techs! -- Will look into improving...)


Intro:
I freakin' love the techs in Starbound. No, let me rephrase that:
I freakin' love the modded techs in Starbound. Yet, they don't play perfectly well with each other, forcing me to choose...
Anyway, long humbling story made short and sloppy, this is a mashup of various other tech mods with modifications and balancing of my own.
Take a look:



Spheres do not cost energy to activate. 'Cause that was silly. Sonic sphere still costs energy to charge, though.
Also, when in ball form, you now take 60% less fall damage! So go ahead, leap off that cliff.
If you have any luck at all, you'll probably survive...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distortion Sphere:
Roll faster, jump higher, drop bombs by pressing shift!
It's like metroid all up in here!

Sonic Sphere:
Much higher base speed, better jumps! Halved charge time!
Just race past everything like it was Dark Souls and you were me!

Aqua Sphere:
Toggle boyancy with [space], move much faster in liquids!

Spike Sphere:
Be slow, but sturdy. With armor! 40 Points of it!
That's alot -- that's like an end-game chestpiece! Maybe. I wouldn't know, I'm a filthy casual.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



All dash-techs can be activated with the second tech-keybind. (Should be configurable in the Controls). Double-tap activation IS ALSO accepted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blink dash:
Works mid-air! Cooldown reduced to that of a regular airdash!
Doesn't drop you to the ground, like some blinkdash-in-air mods do. Slightly longer reach!

Air Dash:
Halved cooldown! No longer stops you after every dash -- you just keep going!

Dash:
Dash twice as far! Flavor text not included.

Sprint:
2/3 normal energy cost! 50% faster! 'Cause some people like this one I guess...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Jumps. Jumping. Jump-ed... Jump stuff here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocket Jump:
Launches you 50% faster, takes half as long to charge!

Multijump:
Now 3 full sized jumps!
None of that half-baked, pansy-footed, only 65% of a jump, math nonsense nerdfood!

Walljump:
2 full sized jumps! Also, jumps replenish with every wall you touch!
Potentially infinite jumps! (If you're, like, climbing an infinite wall or something)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Compatibilities:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatible with NO other tech mods that edit the vanilla techs! Unless they've taken special measures on their parts. Will look into improving...

Also incompatible with Dash Keybind, because this... does the same thing. Not a problem, really.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To-Do:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investigate the possibility of making these tech replacements into techs themselves.
For compatibility, and to preserve the vanilla techs. Mostly compatibility.

Improved Techs(By the noble Voltage) -- AquaSphere boyancy. Wall jump restoring number of jumps.

Dash Keybind(By the victorious No. 90) -- For Yes.

Freedom of Movement(By the humble - - TyrannosaurusHax) -- For solving the issue of blinking in the air always teleporting a character to the ground. Kudos to them for solving that. Would'a taken me a lot longer.
