* Sturdy spectacles and mirrorshades no longer incorrectly report that they have broken in melee.
* Autowalking on the worldmap now avoids the Rainbow Wood.
* Having thirst inflicted on you by an attack no longer triggers tongue bleeding from glotrot.
* Autoexplore now passes through tiles that contain animated walls if those walls are in your party.
* The Amphibious trait no longer reduces thirst that's inflicted by attacks, and amphibious characters get the same log messages as do non-amphibious characters when an attack inflicts thirst.
* We changed the way acid damage is calculated. Exposure to either dilute acid or small acid pools now deals less damage.
* A message now periodically appears in the message log when your companions are dehydrated. If they are visible when they become dehydrated, you get a popup.
* Metal items now take quarter damage from acid.
* Fixed some issues with companions re-joining the player after traveling on the worldmap.
* Salty water now generates half as much steam when vaporized. Brackish water generates 90% as much.
* Fixed a bug that caused an item type's repair cost to permanently depend on whether the first item of that type you repaired was rusted.
* Lacquered items now note in their descriptions that they repel liquids (this is behavior they always had).
* Fixed some bugs that caused modifiers to secondary statistics like AV, DV, and movespeed to be double-applied when they came from mutations and cybernetic implants selected during character creation.
* Steam now only damages organic objects.
* [modding] The ability of NPCs to repair, recharge, and identify artifacts in the trade screen is no longer controlled by the CanRepair, CanRecharge, and CanIdentify properties. Instead, it's determined by the relevant tinkering skills. (Repair enables the repair action, Tinker I enables recharge, and Gadget Inspector enables identify, with Tinker II, Tinker III, Intelligence modifier, and any relevant equipment contributing to identification performance.)
* You can now retrieve items from owned containers that you put in them without triggering hostility.
=== 200.17 - 'beta' branch ===
* The take-all command now skips the weight limit warning if you're already over your weight limit.
[https://freeholdgames.itch.io/cavesofqud/devlog/122185/tomb-of-the-eaters-feature-friday-january-31-2020-beta-build Released January 31, 2020 (beta build).]
* Lay Mine and Set Bomb now allow you to press escape from the explosive selection menu to abort the command.
* We made some structural changes to the layout of the Tomb.
* Stairs, pits, and similar objects that represent open space can no longer be sucked into space-time vortices.
** We shifted the whole dungeon up several Z levels. The crematory is now one level above the surface.
* When you're selecting an item to equip from the equipment menu, items listed within a given category are now sorted in descending order by a rough utility evaluation. This sort method was there previously, but code was since introduced that disrupted it.
** Removed the Lake of the Damned.
* Colored text now displays more reliably across multiple lines in the text UI sidebar.
* We included some more signposts toward finding the Mark of Death and entering the Tomb through the Death Gate.
* Added a black outline to the overlay XP and HP readout numbers.
** Implemented a partial redesign of the Arcades to the Twin Gates that includes a path and sign pointing to Ezra.
* Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the penalties from the Engulfed status effect from being removed when the effect wore off.
** Immediately upon finding the Mark of Death, you now learn the Mark of Death secret, and the 'Recover the Mark of Death' quest step now completes.
* [modding] We added a markup layer to our text coloring system. Example: {{((}}red|this text will be red}}. This lets us treat color specification as a stack, so that text's color can be reset to the previously specified color at the end of a block. (Previously, we would try to emulate this behavior by resetting color to default grey [&y], but grey wasn't always the last specified color.) The markup layer also supports shaders that apply color patterns to text blocks. Color names and shaders are defined in a new moddable file, Colors.xml.
** Immediately upon inscribing the Mark of Death, the 'Inscribe the Mark" quest step now completes.
* [modding] Added a "beguile" wish that forces the target into your party.
* It should now be clearer that a certain post-Brightsheol body alteration is intentional.
* [modding] Med names may now be extended by applying the [MedNamesExtension] attribute and implementing the IMedNamesExtension { int Priority(); void OnInitializeMedNames( List<string> medNames ); } interface.
* Once you return from Brightsheol, you cannot go back via the same method. (<- worded intentionally vaguely to avoid spoilers)
* [*][modding] Fixed a bug that caused the JoppaWorldBuilderExtension and WorldBuilderExtension attributes to be ignored.
* Added two new cybernetic implants: fire suppression system and anchor spikes.
* Added a new item: advanced toolkit.
* Crypt ferrets are now better at hiding.
* Made Vivira, the sentient turret, magenta in order to stand out more.
* Added descriptions for the following objects: fulcrete, ebon fulcrete, wide bottle, crypt door, compacted bone, and grave moss.
* Added some more tomb propaganda.
* Renamed recarcassing nook to recoming nook.
* We made some changes to auto-equip.
** Auto-equip now gives you feedback on items that were unequipped as a result of your action.
** Eliminated most repetitive auto-equip messaging.
** Auto-equip now tries to unequip multiple items in order to equip an item that uses multiple equipment slots.
** Confirmation is now requested before automatically unequipping an item that will be destroyed by being unequipped.
* We tweaked the temperature-related behavior of liquids.
** You may find differences in how pouring liquids on you affects temperature.
** Standing in a pool of lava is no longer safe once you've dealt with the initial temperature shock.
** Your equipment and inventory now experience more temperature effects than before, particularly if you expose yourself to large amounts of lava.
* Fungal infections are now immune to heat, cold, electricity, and acid.
* Projectiles coming from a distance and passing near the player now produce a message in the message log.
* More combat sound effects are now properly controlled by the General > Combat Sounds option.
* Any NPC with whom you can perform the water ritual can now give you directions.
* The following actions performed while autoexploring now also operate on adjacent tiles: autoget, harvesting, butchering, trash rifling, opening a chest, and interacting with a bookshelf.
* Puffer fungi can now be hit by normal ranged weapons.
* Lava and acid now spawn less often in containers that are unsafe to house them.
* Companions now attempt to generally follow you even if they can't pathfind all the way to you (for example, because you have Force Bubble active).
* Mirrorshades now give a very small chance to reflect light-based attacks.
* Objects embedded in walls can no longer be taken or interacted with via the interact nearby command (unless you are also in the same tile as the wall).
* Items embedded in walls are now partially visible with penetrating radar.
* The overlay inventory screen now better handles having two heads or two faces.
* Multiple applications of Hobble now renew the duration of the effect rather than stacking the movespeed penalty.
* Carbide hand bones no longer modify hands added by Helping Hands, and they only affect the set of hands where the implant was implanted (in the event a True Kin has somehow acquired multiple sets of hands).
* Trader repair and recharge actions now more effectively handle plurality and stacking.
* Tattooing a companion no longer tattoos you instead of them.
* Smart use no longer pets Sheba Hagadias by default if Sheba is pettable.
* You can no longer open and close doors while frozen solid.
* Magazine-loaded ranged weapons now account for the weight and value of the ammo loaded in them.
* Solar and radio-powered cells now receive their charge more reliably on the world map and should cause less lag.
* Take-all no longer counts untakeable items when checking whether you're going over your weight limit.
* Added a new tile for the basic toolkit.
* Fixed some item duping exploits with evil twins and prism clones.
* Temporal fugue clones no longer lose their items before they expire.
* Fixed an issue with legendary breathers' and miners' names not showing up properly.
* Fixed a bug that made Berate 10x as likely to take effect if you had an Ego modifier of exactly zero.
* Fixed some bugs with explosions, other types of forced movement, and the generation of maps with ruined buildings.
* Fixed a bug that made DV and MA penalties from confusion become permanent if the game was saved and loaded.
* Fixed an issue with portable walls.
* Fixed an issue with nano-neuro animators.
* Fixed a typo in village monument descriptions.
* [modding] In character generation, whether a genotype is considered a mutant is now controlled explicitly by the new attribute IsMutant="true" in the genotype entry rather than by whether its name contains the substring "True". Mods affecting genotypes may need to add this attribute.
