The sidebar now properly shows volume of sounds in or adjacent to the player's tile, as well as sounds made by a vehicle the player is operating. Previously it was failing to report a lot of sounds, despite that information being rather important. This volume is based on heard vo
Substantially boosted the ecology experience gained from chopping down trees and fishing. Fishing trains every ten minutes and then additionally you get training whenever you successfully catch anything. This training is capped at 5 ranks for fishing and 4 ranks for tree-chopping
Any armor item can now be a replica, just like melee weapons. Replica armor is clearly named and labeled, and has 66% the protection values of regular armor. Replaced all of the budget steel/fake chain and plate armor found in mansions and museums with replica armor. Added code t
Weapon-only styles like Niten Ichi-Ryu were failing to use the basic unarmed techs (kick, punch, headbutt) when a character was unarmed, resulting in said character failing to learn unarmed or benefit from extra damage from worn items. This has been fixed. Several musical instrum
Movement modes no longer work in deep water. You are swimming, there's not much to be said about your posture beyond that. In the future it might make sense to have fast swimming ("running") vs regular swimming ("walking"), but the movement modes as they currently exist are not a
Added the electric spanner. This is an autolearned recipe for a homemade mod which helps you cock your crossbow if you are not strong enough to use it, reducing the weapon's strength requirement by 4. The device uses lithium batteries and must be switched on (activate your crossb
I was going to wait a few days like usual, but there was another old crafting group entry that was throwing the same bearing error message I already fixed 3 times today. So I may as well push this now so I can get that fixed. Fully rebalanced acid resistances and damage to items
Due to my intelligence and skill, I accidentally didn't properly apply the fixes in the last hotfix. Now they're fixed but actually. These were: Fixed an error related to the removed bearing ball recipe. Fixed an error related to "junkfood_allergen". Both of these errors were har
Fixed an error related to the removed bearing ball recipe. Fixed an error related to "junkfood_allergen". Both of these errors were harmless, but annoying. Removed the large adjustable wrench from the game. This wrench didn't really do anything special and wasn't a pipe wrench li
NPCs now know if they are vitamin deficient, and they will take vitamins or eat foods that contain necessary vitamins to fix this if they have access to them. This system isn't perfect, and NPCs that are surrounded by tasty food that doesn't have vitamins might prioritize eating
Because guns are dangerous, monsters which can shoot them ought to behave in a predictable manner. Therefore, monster special attacks that use guns are now standardized as follows: Grabbing, being grabbed, being blinded, being disarmed, being downed, being webbed, or having the m
Climbing up trees is now a proper climb check, looking at your weight, your athletics skill, your limb scores, et cetera. You can fail, and it's not the easiest climb to make. Climbing up ladders, both deployable and fixed, is also a climb check. Ladders are very easy to climb, s
Several fungal zombies had incorrectly set up special attacks, not for their fungal moves but for basic things like biting and scratching and grabbing. This has been fixed. Fungal spiders can inject you with a fungal infection. Learning the swimming proficiency is now ten times f
Adjusted the chance for projectiles to hit items in a tile. Previously, this was purely based on the items' volume. Now, dispersion comes into play, and more accurate shots will be more likely to hit items. The main result of this is that if you want to waste a lot of grenades or
Updated and fixed the ledge view math, it now behaves much more consistently on all Z levels. Monsters can now see down over ledges. Players still cannot see up onto ledges from below, this is coming. Treetops you aren't standing on once again block your view of areas beyond them
Added two new hairstyles: twintails (long miku tails) and shag, which is like a choppy 80s style cut. Redrew the mullet and side shave (formerly "long punk") hairstyles in all 10 colors to better conform to visual standards. All 27 hairstyles are now visually represented in-game
Hordes now properly display on the overmap. You can disable this while looking at the map by pressing H. Remember that a horde does not mean "there are zombies here", it means "there is a group of zombies here and they are moving around." So like they're actually out on "patrol"
Faction camps have been deprecated since the game forked, and while it was technically possible to begin some of the constructions, many would dead-end halfway through for no apparent reason. Almost all faction camp functionality now exists in zones or craft orders, so now it's t
Opening and closing gates with a mechanical winch is now allowed in NPC settlements. The intercom will no longer make Hub 01 angry if you interact with it. The Tacoma guys are always there and do not magically appear when you take the job from Smokes to go find them. If you don't
Added the Gun Control mod, which massively reduces the number of guns and to a lesser extent ammo in the world, along with locations like gun stores where you'd frequently find the things, and military vehicles like APCs and humvees which have powerful guns mounted to them. The p
