Teratons not fabricating level 9+ equipment?
I've noticed that the Teratons are not fabricating equipment one level above the input item when the input item level gets to lvl 8 and instead, it remakes the lvl 8 item into another lvl 8 item. This is with all material, energy needs met and with the Teraton fabricator "purring with contentment". When i throw lvl 9 equipment in there, it gets made into lvl 8 equipment. There is only one instance where i got one lvl 9 weapon from them when i threw in a damaged lvl 9 weapon, but subsequent attempts to make it into a lvl 10 weapon only succeeded in remaking the lvl 9 weapon into another lvl 9 weapon. This is again, with the fabricator "purring with Contentment". I'm playing on version 1.2. Is there something that i'm missing or were the Teratons changed?

I don’t remember the specifics, either, but I do recall from looking at the outdated wiki page and having done source-diving that they were nerfed. That happened in 1.1 at the latest. I’m pretty sure Level 7 is the cap for feeding it a weapon and getting back something higher level, so if you give it a Level 8, the best you’re going to get back is a Level 8.

Of all the things I’ve lost in life, I miss my mind the least. (I’m having a lot more fun without it!)
Since 1.1, fabricator cannot increase item level beyond 8 anymore. A happy fabricator (disposition >= 5) will reroll an undamaged level 8+ item into another at the same level. Damaged item and/or angry fabricator produces worse output.
Longzhus do not stack enhancements anymore in 1.2.

Besides Teraton fabricators and no more longzhu stacking? Doubtful. Then again, those were the two big nerfs. Other changes off the top of my head.
* Longzhu spheres do not repair/enhance Iocrym plasma weapons.
* IM90 only has about 64% of its former DPS (lower damage and slower fire rate)
* Omnidirectional ion blaster does less damage (it now feels like a level 8 weapon, probably weaker than Ares lightning turret)
* Many thermo weapons are more damaging by about a third.
* Ares positron cannon is 50% stronger and has shield-buster (feels almost like a level 10 weapon now).
* Plasma cannon is stronger, stronger than Lamplighter against everything except final boss (and only slightly).
-- With 1.3 beta... --
* Dvalin requires two-thirds of former item donations to get his rewards. (i.e., you do not need to give as much as before.)
* Ion9 does 50 damage plus shield buster per shot (was 40 and no anti-shield), but the free enhancement was reduced from 80-100% to 50-70%.
