  • Fixed non-human village tinkers and apothecaries not having tier-appropriate stock.
  • Fixed many other small issues.

Modding and debugging

  • [modding] Creatures now have action-specific opinions of others. For example, being attacked by someone's ally now garners the OpinionAttackAlly opinion.
  • [modding] Creatures now maintain a history of allegiance. For example: "On the 3rd of Ut yara Ux, <creature> was constructed by a turret tinker." and "On the 12th of Tuum Ut, <creature> was proselytized by you."
  • [modding] Many invalid components are now removed gracefully when loading a saved game, making it possible to remove a mod from a saved game and continue playing.
  • [modding] Made the Leader part more general and functional. Use it to generate a creature with companions.
  • [modding] MinEvents now support registration with prioritized execution and optional serialization.
  • [modding] Any class can now register for a MinEvent by implementing the IEventHandler interface.
  • [modding] Event handlers now use event registrars to handle both registration and unregistration with a single method implementation.
  • [modding] Some events are now sent and can be listened for on the global game level, such as AfterPlayerBodyChangeEvent.

  • [modding] Inert parts with no functionality, such as those gained from some skills, can now define a skip priority that excludes them from event processing, for a minor performance benefit.
  • [modding] Ported blueprint builders to be IObjectBuilders, which are singletons that can process many game objects without creating garbage or polluting the object's parts.
  • [modding] Text variable replacers, such as "=verb:shloop=" or "=player.waterRitualLiquid|capitalize=", are now moddable by decorating a class and method with the related attributes.
  • [modding] Complex and/or custom text variable operations can now use the Text.StartReplace() builder to do every replacement in a single pass.
