This is a form of autoact that allows you to automatically move in a straight line from your current location to somewhere else on the map, attacking walls as necessary. All events that normally interrupt autoact will interrupt autodig, as will being displaced from your planned path and failing too many times in a row to damage what you are attacking. Hazards that would be avoided by autoexplore are NOT avoided by autodig.

• Move speed now has a floor at 1, disabling exploits involving slowing move speed down to 0 to achieve a mathematically undefined rate of motion.
• If you are dominating a temporary or existence-supported creature at the time when it ceases to exist, this now breaks the domination rather than ending your game.

• The names of village building materials made from creature parts now preserve the case pattern of the names of the creatures they are made from.

  • Some liquids now weigh more than others.
  • Creatures moving through big pools of liquid now track the liquid around.
  • Footwear now protects you from being affected by small pools of liquid.
  • Swimming is now a status effect that penalizes movespeed and prevents creatures from taking move-related actions that require footing.
  • Pools smaller than the swimming threshold (1,000 drams) now use a different tile set.
  • Small puddles now evaporate over time.
  • Aquatic creatures now receive a -25 penalty to movespeed instead of the full -50. (The Swimming skill's +25 bonus offsets this penalty.)
  • Pathfinding now puts more weight toward pathing around large pools of liquids, even less deadly ones.
• More autoexplore activities now respect the autoexplore options for ignoring easy and distant enemies.
• Electromagnetic sensors and the following mutations now interrupt autoexplore and automove when you identify a hostile creature: Heightened Hearing, Heightened Smell, and Sense Psychic.
• Autowalking on the worldmap now avoids the Rainbow Wood.

• Added a black outline to the overlay XP and HP readout numbers.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the penalties from the Engulfed status effect from being removed when the effect wore off.
• [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.
• [modding] Added a "beguile" wish that forces the target into your party.
