[https://freeholdgames.itch.io/cavesofqud/devlog/510474/feature-friday-march-31-2023 Released March 31, 2023.]
* We made some changes to how electrical conductivity works (ie, what determines which objects electrical arcs leap to).
* Liquid pools now have their conductivity correctly calculated based on their component mixtures. Electrical arcs now correctly leap across conductive pools of liquid.

** Arcs no longer leap to flying creatures unless they are the initial target of a discharge.
** Arcs can now travel diagonally.
** Improved the messaging around arc leaping, especially for when a creature avoids an arc due to anti-conductive footwear.
* Added some alternate tiles for bookshelves with items in them.
* Dynamic quest rewards are now identified.
* Data disks offered as dynamic quest rewards now display the item blueprint they teach.

* Village tinkers can no longer recharge broken or rusted energy cells.
* Legendary pilgrims no longer abandon their lairs.
* Conservators shoot their lightlocks again.
* Fixed a bug that caused Sunder Mind to be cancelled as if your concentration slipped when you had high quickness and your target died prematurely.
* Fixed a bug that caused traipsing mortars to fail to equip their natural melee weapons.
* Fixed a bug that caused villagers in villages with pets to talk about nothing except those pets.
* Fixed a bug that caused stingers to repeatedly re-equip themselves when mutations changed.
* Fixed a crash that occurred when a creature fell in love with itself after stepping in dilute warm static.
* Fixed a bug that caused creatures not to receive random cybernetics.
* [modding] Common rendering colors are now accessible in C# via The.Color API. For example, The.Color.Red returns the Color value of 'R' previously accessed from the ColorUtility.ColorMap dictionary.
