Minor Bug Fix / Balance Patch
Mechanics Changes
+When a player refuses a request to join the nest or to nest, or to mate, the requester gets temporarily "blocked" for these specific requests. The current cooldown is 2 minutes.
Forest Fires
+The innate weather resistance of a non-swimmer creature now modifies how much damage they take from fires
-Apato and Sai have particularly high weather resistance stats
-Ichthy, Lurdu, Mosa, Krono, and Elasmo are not influenced by this
-The Weather Resistance talent does not further reduce forest fire damage
+Creatures who have their feet in water no longer can suffer from forest fire flame damage, nor can they be caught on fire
-Getting your feet in water will still not put out an already active fire on the player. This requires entering the swimming state
Water Satiation
+Doubled the rate at which water source dirtiness goes away
+Full water sat growth benefit is now achieved by having any level of water satiation
+Water now cleans itself more quickly when 50 or more players are on the server. For every 50 players online, the rate gains +100% faster cleaning rate.
+Water sources get boring at 2/3 the rate they did previously
Skin Mutations
+Bioluminescent skin mutations should now have a consistent chance of rolling across all skins
Rival Shores
+Added a rock slope to the new cave on RS so fat apatos can get out
+Made Rival Shores bridge between jungle and forest islands wider at low tide
+Made the snowy river deep enough for a 1.2 mosa to swim through (don't recommend larger sizes)
+Added a new aquatic cave to Rival Shores
+Added new ice shelter on Snowy on RS
+Made the base of the waterfall on snowy nicer
+Fixed the "baby hole" on snowy to be a normal small shelter
+Added a velo/ory sized ice cave
