* [modding] The ConversationScript part now supports the following properties: Quest, PreQuestConversationID, InQuestConversationID, and PostQuestConversationID. If Quest is specified, then the other properties, if specified, override the ConversationID while the quest is unstarted, started but unfinished, and finished, respectively.

===April 27, 2018===
* New item: telemetric visor.
* Autoexplore and creature AI now avoid spacetime vortices.
* Applicators no longer work when broken or rusted.
* Sense Psychic now has a chance to identify psychics every time you move closer to them instead of only when they move.
* Generalized artifact attunement for items like ganglionic teleprojector into a standard boot sequence and applied it to a few artifacts.
* Refreshed bio-scanning bracelets. They are now tinkerable, require an energy cell, are subject to EMP, have a boot sequence, and have new name ANSI.
* Gave Horticulturalists a solar cell to power their bio-scanning bracelets.
* Twinning lampreys are now considered psychics.
* Twinning lampreys are more proficient with their bites.
* Energy cells loaded in items you start the game with are automatically identified.
* Cybernetic implants you start the game with are automatically identified.
* Homoelectric wrist warmers can no longer be modded with the full range of armor mods.
* Fixed an issue that made phase webs stickier than intended.
* Fixed occasional cases where Precognition appeared to malfunction on NPCs.
* Fixed several instances where zones were built when it wasn't necessary to do so.
* [modding] The gases produced by the billowing conch of the Aji are now controlled by the tag DynamicObjectsTable:AjiConch.
* [modding] The interaction of gases with the Gas Generation mutation is now data-driven. See the gas object blueprints for details.
* [modding] The color of gas objects is now based on the ColorString attribute of the Gas part. The GasDamaging part no longer has a ColorString.
* [modding] The SensePsychic mutation part can now be configured with Levelable="true" if you want to make it levelable, in which case its level is added to its detection radius and the chance of identification. Specify BaseRadius="n" if you want to make its base detection radius something other than 9. You can also use the intproperty TreatAsPsychic to force Sense Psychic to sense an object even if it doesn't have mental mutations.
* [modding] Generalized the BioScanner and Inspector parts into IntPropertyChanger, which supports these properties: AffectedProperty (the name of the property on the item's wielder that gets manipulated), Amount (the amount added to the property when the property is changed; defaults to 1), ChargeUse (an amount of charge to use per turn the item is active; defaults to 1), WorksWhenHeld (works if you wield the item in a slot other than its designated armor slot, defaults to false), and MustBeUnderstood (only works if the wielder understands the item; defaults to true).
* [modding] Added a BootSequence part for adding a delay between wearing an item and being able to use it. If the item has an EnergyCellSocket, changing the cell reboots the item. EMP, Broken, and Rusted statuses also reset the boot sequence and prevent it from proceeding while they're active. Supported properties are: BootTime (the number of turns booting takes; defaults to 100), VariableBootTime (die roll, if specified then the higher of this and BootTime will be used), ReadoutInName (specifies whether to add a precise indication of remaining boot time to the item's name; defaults to false), ReadoutInDescription (specifies whether to add a precise indication of remaining boot time to the item's short description; defaults to false), TextInName (a text string to add to the item's name while booting), TextInDescription (a text string to add to the item's short description while booting), VerbOnBootInitialized (defaults to "beep"), VerbOnBootDone (defaults to "ding"), and VerbOnBootAborted (defaults to "bloop"). Right now, the BootSequence part integrates with IntPropertyChanger, Teleprojector, and DecoyHologramEmitter.
===April 20, 2018===
* Creature AI now better copes with being in the same tile as something it's trying to kill or flee from.
* Blood splatter no longer sticks to gases and holograms.
* Gases no longer physically damage you if they're out of phase with you.
* Sultan shrines and becoming nooks now show up on the alt display.
* When you autoequip a weapon, it now defaults to equipping in an empty hand instead of replacing your primary hand's weapon. It still replaces your primary hand's weapon if all your hands are full.
* Acid now eats through organic containers.
* Eyeless crab shells and salthopper mandibles are no longer tagged as metal.
* Corrupt bananas are no longer subject to electromagnetic pulses or rusting.

* Dismembered limbs now have proper descriptions.
* Specified that carnivores can't eat fungi.
* Fixed the organic vs. inorganic statuses on several items.
* Fixed a bug where pouring the entire contents of a container into another container prevented liquid effects from occurring in the second container. This allowed lava to be carried around by transferring it from one waterskin to another.
* Fixed various instances of NPCs only wielding one of their natural weapons instead of both.
* Fixed a bug that caused gases of different types to merge as if they were the same type.
* Fixed a typo in gravestone text.

* Updated credits.
* [modding] You can now remove parts from an inherited blueprint by using the <removepart> element in objectblueprints.xml.
* [modding] The object blueprint XML now supports no-close-tag form. For example: <part Name="Metal" />.
* [modding] Creatures with the 'slimewalking' tag can now properly walk over sap, wax, and honey without impediment.
* [modding] The xtagGrammar element now supports the IsPlural property. IsPlural="true" specifies that the object should be treated as plural for purposes of text generation.

* [modding] Separated plants and fungi more thoroughly in the object inheritance structure, with new 'Fungus' and 'BaseFungus' blueprints, and added 'LivePlant' and 'LiveFungus' tags where appropriate.
===April 13, 2018===

* Added a bunch of modding functionality.
** [modding] Added a FearOnEat part that applies a fear effect to the eater at an attack strength and duration specified by the Strength and Duration properties.
** [modding] Made ConfuseOnEat allow the specification of the following properties: Strength, Duration, Level (die roll: confusion per mutation level), and BuildupTimeout (integer: number of turns before the effect overrides older ConfuseOnEat effects).
** [modding] Added a new part, TreatAsSolid, for projectiles. If projectiles encounter an object in their path matching TreatOnSolid's criteria, they treat it as impassable. Supported criteria are TargetPart (the object has this part) and TargetTag (the object has this tag), the latter with an optional TargetTagValue (the object has TargetTag tag with this value). The Hits property specifies whether the projectile hits the object and has a chance to damage it (defaults to true).
** [modding] Added a new part, DestroyContiguous, for projectiles. If projectiles encounter an object in their path matching DestroyContiguous's criteria, they roll to destroy it, and if successful, they roll to destroy objects matching the criteria in adjacent cells. Supported criteria are TargetPart and TargetTag, the latter with an optional TargetTagValue. The Chance property specifies the percentage chance for destruction (defaults to 100). The ChanceDegradation property is a cumulative reduction in the effective chance of destruction per hop to adjacent cells (defaults to 0).
** [modding] Added new parts GasOnHit and GasOnEntering for weapons and projectiles. Weapons that hits and projectiles that traverse through  cells, respectively, spawn the gas specified in the Blueprint property at a density specified in the Density property (die roll specification). GasOnHit also includes the OnWielderHit property.
** [modding] Generalized GasAcid into GasDamaging. This new part includes the properties GasType (basic type tag like "Acid"), Noun (specifies the damage type in messages), ColorString (for tile rendering), MessageColor (applied to Noun in messaging), DamageAttributes (same as Attributes in MissileWeapon), TargetPart (only affects objects with this part), TargetTag (only affects objects with this tag), TargetTagValue (only affects objects with TargetTag and this value), TargetEquippedPart (only affects objects that have an item equipped with this part), TargetEquippedTag (only affects objects that have an item equipped with this tag), and TargetEquippedTagValue (only affects objects that have an item equipped with TargetEquippedTag and this value).
** [modding] Generalized StasisGrenade into DeploymentGrenade. This new part includes the following properties: Blueprint (the blueprint of the objects it creates), Duration (how long the objects last, defaults to permanent), Radius (integer radius it fills with objects), Chance (the percentage chance a given cell spawns an object, defaults to 100), AtLeast (a minimum number of objects to try to deploy when Chance is in use, defaults to 0), UsabilityEvent (an event that must be successfully broadcast to the cell it lands in in order for the grenade to work, defaults to null), AccessibilityEvent (an event that must be successfully broadcast to a given cell in its radius in order to deploy an object there, defaults to null), ActivationVerb (the verb used to describe the grenade activating, defaults to "detonates"), RealRadius (whether to deploy in a circular radius rather than the usual engine "square radius"), BlockedBySolid (whether solid cells block deployment, defaults to true), BlockedByNonEmpty (whether cells must be "empty" for deployment, defaults to true), Seeping (whether BlockedBySolid uses "seeping" logic, defaults to false), DustPuff (whether the grenade emits a dust puff when it activates, defaults to true), DustPuffEach (whether each deployed object emits a dust puff, defaults to false), and NoXPValue (whether deployed objects lose their XP values, defaults to true).
** [modding] Added a new CooldownAmmoLoader part, which makes a missile weapon require cooldown between shots. Supports the usual ProjectileObject property for loaders, a Cooldown property specifying the number of rounds, and a Readout property specifying whether the weapon shows a display of its remaining cooldown time (defaults to false).
** [modding] Added architecture to try to make multiple ammo loaders on a missile weapon coexist peacefully. Only one loader should be given a ProjectileObject. Use this to add the CooldownAmmoLoader with other loaders for weapons that need both ammo and a cooldown time.
** [modding] Added an AIShootCooldown part for missile weapons. Its Cooldown only applies when creature AI uses the weapon.

* We added metal and gemstone figurines.
** Figurines depict creatures from across Qud.
** Possible figurine materials include copper, silver, gold, agate, topaz, jasper, amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and peridot.

We added some more detail to Qud's chefs.
** Legendary chefs are now interested in learning your recipes during the water ritual.
** Added mini restaurant tents to the Stiltgrounds, each with a chef. You can buy cooking ingredients, buy a cookbook, or sample one of the meals from the cookbook at the chef's oven. All Stiltground restaurant ovens also serve Hot and Spiny.
** The restaurant signs currently use the same pepper icon as apothecaries. They'll get an updated sign soon.

** Each kitchen contains an oven where you can sample the chef's dishes.
** Chefs may share one of their recipes during the water ritual.
** Each chef sells a personalized cookbook.
* Canned Have-It-All no longer contains neutron flux. This means that cooking with canned Have-It-All no longer has the chance to cause critical gravitational collapse. The makers of canned Have-It-All realize this change to their formula renders their product in violation of advertising law, but "canned Have-Most-of-It" didn't do as well in market research, so they're willing to take their chances in court.
* You can no longer cook on the world map.
* You can now make camp any time there's no campfire nearby.
* When you make camp, you're no longer asked to choose a direction until it's confirmed that you can camp here.

* Fixed the molting basilisk poison message being displayed when non-player characters were infected.
* Fixed an issue with the popup message generated when you travel to a known lair or workshop for the first time.

* Fixed an issue that allowed you to select zero-volume liquid containers as cooking ingredients.
* Fixed an issue with food preservation that resulted in the wrong number of servings being preserved.
* Fixed some issues that caused the wrong number of servings to be consumed while cooking.
* Fixed an issue that caused stacks of energy cells to disappear from the trade UI when you tried to recharge them.
* Fixed some additional issues with item stacks.
* Removed some archaic statues to non-existent sultans.
* Fixed the game thread not properly suspending when the game window went out of focus.
* Fixed a memory leak that occasionally occurred if the game window was out of focus for long periods of time.
* Fixed some spelling errors.
* Added an indication for ability cooldown and enabled state to the prerelease input manager ability selection
* [modding] AmmoGeneric now supports a new field, SpecializedProjectileObject, that combines with the existing ProjectileObject field to allow AmmoGeneric-based magazine weapons to load several types of ammo. You use the new field to specify an ammo object whose behavior you want to mimic. For example, let's say you create two new ammo objects, each with the AmmoGeneric part. If you set the ProjectileObject field in both parts to "Projectile12Gauge", a gun that can load Projectile12Gauge ammo will be able to load both your new ammo objects. You can then set the SpecializedProjectileObject fields on both parts differently, say one to "IncendiaryBullet" and one to "ElectrifiedBullet". Now these new ammo objects will mimic the behavior of the IncendiaryBullet and ElectrifiedBullet objects respectively, and they'll both be loadable by guns that can load Projectile12Gauge ammo.
===January 12, 2018===
* You can now cook with slime.
* You can now cook with neutron flux. Do so at your own risk.
* Named NPCs can now be hated by a faction for insulting various aspects of their culture, not just their women.
* Named NPCs can now be admired by a faction for praising various aspects of their culture.
* Rivers that course through the salt desert are now rivers of salt.
* We made a bunch of performance improvements for late games (games with high-level player characters that have explored a lot of the world).
** Reduced save file size by 30-90% across the board, but late games benefit more.
** Greatly improved memory use in late games.
** Fixed several issues causing objects to memory leak in late games.
** Fixed several issues that caused more zones than necessary to be loaded into memory.
* Objects cloned by temporary metamorphic polygel are now themselves temporary.
* Fixed an issue that soft-locked the game when you cooked in the Rainbow Wood (and more rarely in a few other places too).

===January 5, 2018===
* We refreshed the Photosynthetic Skin mutation to account for the recent hunger changes.
** You can bask in the sunlight instead of eating a meal to gain a special metabolizing effect: +(20 + mutationLevel*4)% regeneration and +(mutationLevel + 3) / 2 Quickness.
** This effect doesn't stack with other metabolizing effects and lasts for a limited time. If you're underground, you'll have to return to the surface to bask in the sunlight again.
*** Level 1-4 duration: 1 day
*** Level 5-8 duration: 2 days

The Cooking and Hunger Rework Feature Arc
Roguelikes have a tradition of using survival mechanics like hunger and thirst to egg the player onward. The cultural importance of water in Qud makes thirst an interesting mechanic, but our previous hunger mechanic didn't quite meet our standards. We redesigned the hunger system and added a procedurally-driven cooking system. Our goal is to evoke the unique cultural role food plays in civilization and how that role is manifested in the strange and biodiverse world of Qud.
* Hunger has completely changed.
** After a day without eating, you become hungry (no penalty). After another day without eating, you become famished (-10 Quickness). Thirst is unchanged.
** The primary way to sate hunger now is to cook at a campfire. You can interact with campfires with the use key.
** As long as you aren't in combat, you can make camp (see your abilities screen). This starts a campfire.
** As long as you aren't in combat, you can whip up a basic meal at a campfire. This costs no resources and sates your hunger, even if you're famished.
** Occasionally, the meal you whip up is especially tasty and grants you a small bonus for the rest of the day.
** If you have special ingredients in your inventory, you'll occasionally use them when whipping up a meal. They grant dynamically-generated effects.
** You can eat up to three times before you are too full to eat, but only the first meal has the chance to be tasty. This three-meal cap is relevant for the Cooking and Gathering skill, described below.
** You can still eat food out of your inventory to supplement campfire cooking.
*** Most foods are now snacks, which sate a few hours of hunger.
*** Corpses count as full meals, but you can no longer bring yourself to eat them unless you're famished (or a carnivore...).
*** If you eat corpses or raw meat, your hunger is sated, but you become ill for 12 hours.
*** We removed auto-eat.
*** Fresh food spoilage is coming later.
** Hunger status is ignored while traveling on the world map, as we assume you're cooking meals along the way.
** However, if you travel more than one world map tile, you'll be hungry when you come back down to a local map.
** Traveling overland is a bit more difficult now; lost rates have increased.
** Crossing the salt desert on the overland map takes much longer now in game time (and water consumption).
** We adjusted food quantities throughout the world to account for the new hunger system.
* We added Cooking and Gathering, a skill that lets you do more sophisticated cooking.
** You can learn Cooking and Gathering from the Kyakukyans.
** If you have Cooking and Gathering, you get three new options in the campfire menu: cook with ingredients, cook from a recipe, and preserve fresh foods.
** Cook with ingredients:
*** Cooking a meal with ingredients bestows a dynamically-generated effect for the rest of the day.
*** You can cook with up to two ingredients (three if you have the Spicer skill power).
** Cook from a recipe:
*** We added handwritten recipes and procedurally-generated recipes.
*** We added procedurally-generated cookbooks with procedurally-generated recipes.
*** Cooking a meal from a recipe bestows a particular effect. You learn recipes from cookbooks or by performing the water ritual with NPCs.
*** You can share recipes during the water ritual.
*** Each village has a signature dish that its residents are willing to share in the water ritual. For example, share water with Mehmet or Elder Irudad to learn to cook Apple Matz.
** Preserve fresh foods:
*** We added a whole bunch of cooking ingredients, with tiles and descriptions. In general, you create them by harvesting and butchering food, then preserving it at a campfire.
*** We converted some existing foods and liquids into cooking ingredients. Some foods can be cooked fresh. (limbs? heads? faces?)
*** We added kippers to the Stiltgrounds who sell preserved cooking ingredients. There's always a kipper tent in the southeast corner of the Stiltgrounds.
*** We changed the sign used for Stiltgrounds honey merchants (it's a bee now) and made the old one (a bottle) the sign for kippers.
** The final Cooking and Gathering skill power is Carbide Chef.
*** With Carbide Chef, whenever you gain a level or 5% of the time you explore a new map, you become inspired to cook a meal (lasts for two days). While inspired, the next time you cook a meal by choosing ingredients, you get a choice of three dynamically-generated effects to apply. You create a recipe for the chosen effect.
* Each village has an oven where you can cook food or eat its signature dish for free.
* We simplified Harvestry and Butchery. They're now each a single power under the Cooking and Gathering tree.
** Harvest Plants is now a toggleable passive power like Butcher Corpses.
** Plants, meat, and organs you harvest and butcher can now be preserved at campfires and turned into cooking ingredients.
** We adjusted all the harvestable and butcherable item frequencies to account for these changes.
** You'll occasionally harvest or butcher items that previously required the Master skills at a low rate.
** Ripe plants now appear as a different color than their non-ripe counterparts.
** Ripe plants now appear on the alt overlay if you have the Harvestry skill.
** We added some new harvestable and butcherable items.
* Added a new 1-point mutation: Carnivorous.
** Carnivores can eat raw meat without getting sick.
** Carnivores don't need to be famished to eat meat.
** Raw meat and meals cooked with meat are especially tasty to carnivores (increased chance for small bonus).
** Carnivores get no satiation from non-meat foods and may get ill from eating them.
** Carnivores can't cook with plant ingredients.
* Here's a list of other cooking and hunger-related changes we made.
** Removed the Ravenous defect.
** Updated the Fasting Way and Mind over Body skill powers to work with the new hunger system.
