[/expand]

- Pickaxing/etc Ore, Limestone or Flint deposits will generate Masonry XP; 5 XP per item produced.

- Added the item and recipe for crafted Hide Pants.

BALANCE

- Removed some instances of unwanted trees (not enough space to place). Still some unwanted trees left that we need to explore.
-- Zones `Farm` and `FarmLand` now have the biome `farmmix_forest`. This reduce the number of unwanted trees to nearly 0.
-- The remaining unwanted trees are due to exclusion of dirt as a wanted floor.

- Adjusted chances for Firewood to appear less often across all common biomes which effectively makes all other categories appear more often.
- Adjusted WildPlants to be much more common across all biomes.
- Adjusted DogBane specifically to be much more common, both in the category and in each zone. It is now the most common WildPlant.
- Adjusted Twine and Rope recipe inputs for Dogbane to be 1 and 2, matching the Hemp recipes.
- Updated foraging for Search Focus and Sprite Affinity to have a much greater role and effect when searching for specific categories.
- Updated foraging to prefer the Focus Category set when choosing an affinity category for a sprite.
- Updated and increased chanceToMoveIcon, chanceToCreateIcon affinity settings for most categories. This means more affinity icons will be rolled to move or create a new icon.
- Changed sprite affinity for most categories to GenericPlants, as SpecialPlants were too rare to use for affinity for some of these categories.
- Garbage Bag and Tarp Headsacks, Tank Tops and Short Skirts will require less Duct Tape to craft.
- Hide and Leather Tailoring crafts now require the Sharp Knife or Scissors used to not be dull.
- Increased the durability of Mace Heads.
- Nail-Spiked weapons will drop 1 unit of Nails on the ground when they break.
- Smaller weapons require less Nails to spike than larger weapons; this require adding a second recipe to handle the smaller weapons, but the existing recipe also uses a fair amount of Nails.
- Can-Reinforced and Sheet-Metal Reinforced Baseball Bats will degrade slightly faster, but only slightly.
- Sheet-Metal Reinforced Baseball Bats are slightly heavier.
- Increased the required skill level to forge Goblets, as they're much fancier than metal cups..
- Reduced the Bite and Scratch protection for crafted Hide Pants, Coats and Jackets to 10/20 from 20/40. Hide clothing should be inferior to proper leather clothing.
- Adjusted the requirements for several Hide clothing recipes to make them more practical to perform in Forest Map scenario.
- The crude Hide clothing recipes can use Thread or Twine interchangeably; this is because Thread may be difficult to produce in some scenarios.
- Additionally the crudest of the Hide clothing can also be crafted with either of an Awl or sewing Needle; again, this is so players can produce the barest minimum of clothing in Forest Map scenarios. Imagine Rambo First Blood poking a hole in some hides with a sharp rock and then threading sinews through them.
- The higher tier Hide clothing requires the recipe to be known or researched; characters with the Tailoring trait will know the recipes, and a magazine also teaches them.
- Balanced Garbage Bag and Tarp clothing to have consistent Scratch Defense; Garbage Bag provides 5%, Tarp provides 10%.
- The simplest Garbage Bag clothing items don't require a Scissors or Sharp Knife to produce.
- Tarp clothing now has a 1 higher skill level to produce versus Garbage Bag clothing; it's "better".
- Remove icon and indent from available items header
- Hide duplicate possible items
- Updated several cooking recipes to use either whole items or hunger amounts.
- Updated Bowl of Cereal item's hunger and thirst to match used ingredientes.
- Increased base poison effect from drinking fluids.

- Increased sprite affinity and focus chances for Trash category.
- Changed ThumpersToDamage to be a scaling value which reduces as the fence is bent further.
- Removed fences becoming weaker as they are bent as they now require less zombies per stage.
- Added damaging of fences when zombies climb through gaps when present on late stage bendable fences.
- This allows zombies to break the fence fully after a lot of zombies climb through, even if they stop thumping due to the easier path.
- Damage amount is a random small value adjusted by the sandbox setting FenceDamageMultiplier.
- Balanced butchering on the ground
- Boredom inside structures increases too quickly
- Renamed recipes that create 2 pieces of armor so that they show up closer to their sets' other recipes in the list.
- Balanced time for animations that are too short for SFX/Timed action length
- Update trapping zones support.
- Removed old birch & pine

- The Debug Item List Viewer will now have columns displaying whether items can be: Crafted, Foraged or Found as Loot

- Added new sounds for resting on chairs, Old Fashioned Generator, Wood Log Gate

- Added new Chickens foley sounds
- Add FluidContainer meta-entity system, and push fluidContainer components to meta, so rain collectors will be filled with water when player is away.

Changes to the Lua debugger:
- Added small / medium / large monospaced fonts.
This is the "Noto Sans Mono" font. We use "Noto Sans" for Thai, and "Noto Sans Mono" has the same license (which I included).
- Added a combobox to the Lua debugger that allows switching between small / medium / large font sizes.
- Source-window line numbers are right justified.
- Source-window background color was changed from white to gray.
- AngelCodeFont no longer compresses font textures, this is already the case for most ui textures.

- Added "read" checkmarks to print media (brochures and fliers).
IsoGameCharacter gained these methods:
void addReadPrintMedia(String media_id);
boolean isPrintMediaRead(String media_id);
HashSet<String> getReadPrintMedia();

Animals now recognize rivers:
- If the zone includes some waters tiles (lake, river..) it'll be shown in the zone UI.
- Animals will try to drink from river they can access before anything else.

Changed some behavior to eat grass.
- Animal will now look around him instead of purely under his feet.
- made other changes to try and make their behavior more consistent & smart.

- Updated a couple of rifle aim anims
- Added "Play Music When Paused" audio option.

BALANCE

- The ShopLooted story will no longer occur in single-room buildings. Some utility buildings used "electronicstore" or similar roomdefs for their single room, which means that police and bandit zombies could spawn inside them as a looted shop story.
- Added missing craftRecipe allowance for making nailed broken planks.
- Rebalanced Tableleg weapons.
- Chopping Logs and Large Branches into Firewood will produce Splinters; this is so chopping Firewood always produces a tinder item.
- Nails can be used to research the Forge Heading Tool craftRecipe.
- Added the following items: Improvised Screwdriver; Firewood; Firewood Bundle;Firewood with Nails.
- Added recipes to make an Improvised Screwdriver; Chop Firewood from Logs and Large Branches; Bundle Firewood; Unbundle Firewood; Firewood with Nails can be made using the general nails weapon craftRecipe.
- Firewood burns for longer than other wooden items by weight; by chopping Logs and Large Branches into Firewood you increase the length of time that they can be used as fuel for campfires, etc.
- Firewood and Firewood Bundles were added to some loot and story clutter tables.
- Added a wooden clay tool item and a craftRecipe to carve one; the icon and model already existed.
- Make Jar of Produce can also use Seasoning Salt.
- Nerfed Wooden Spade stats, it is supposed to be an improvised, primitive tool and stats were still too close to a standard spade for how easy it can be crafted.
- Updated Smash Watermelon recipe to use its own timed action, so sound and animation issues can be solved.
- Updated recipes that use crucibles so that they need to be empty.
- Updated Melt Sand and Melt Glass recipes to need a lighter or other way to start the fire.
- The MakeScrewdriver craftRecipe can be learned from melee weapon schematics and the Escaping Captivity recipe magazine.
- Added a wooden clay tool item and a craftRecipe to carve one; the icon and model already existed.
- Limited some actions such as drinking and cleaning bandages to fluid sources that contain only water or tainted water
- Updated drinking from IsoObjects (sinks/barrels) to use IsoGameCharacter:DrinkFluid() to ensure correct health effects with all fluid types.
- Characters will no longer autodrink from a bottle that is being filled, the action has to be completed first.
- Added a craftRecipe to carve wooden goblets.
- Reorganized the carving craftRecipe file to order recipes by skill level requirements.
- Added recipe research allowances for Forging Spade Heads to relevant items.
- Added a craftRecipe for sewing a Leather Tool Roll.
- Added a Crafted Baseball Bat item and the craftRecipe to make it. It requires Carving 9, and has to be learned. But also you can research it from wooden Baseball Bats, Large Branches, and Short Bats.
- Increased Campfire capacity to allow use of Buckets for water purification/cooking

- The looted/trashed buildings should have more broken and open doors, and more broken windows, to better signpost their status as looted & trashed.
- Ground floor locked windows in looted/trashed buildings will be unlocked.
- Corpses will now sometimes spawn outside of Trashed & Looted buildings; this is RNG dependant, and also "buildings" don't really have much of a outside footprint, it's basically a row a squares surrounding the building in most cases, so there's not much real estate to work with.
- Trash will also spawn outside of Trashed & Looted buildings on ground squares. Again, not much real estate to work with here.
- Any ground floor locked doors will be destroyed.
- The basements of trashed & looted buildings will be less trashed and looted, proportional to how deep below ground level the individual basement floors may be.
- Halved the maximum size of buildings that can be trashed & looted.
- Reworked the corpse spawning in trashed buildings to use the new corpse spawning code.
- Additionally sometimes trashed buildings will have one or more zombies or corpses of bandits/survivalists/militia in them; this is rare, but as those outfits can have good loot, it will serve as "finding some of the missing loot.
- Reworked how a bunch of trashed build code works; checks to prevent story content occurring in kids rooms was preventing stuff from occurring in areas w/o rooms; in addition to some other checks were being too aggressive in preventing content occurring in some squares.
- Additionally more attention is paid to doors and windows, and locked closed garage doors should be broken.

- Added recipe research progression for several "tool" category items: masonry trowels; masonry chisels; (more) fleshing tool; (more) sickles; tweezers; forceps; files; whetstones; nails and heading tools from nail-spiked weapons; buckets; crowbars; trowels; etc.
- The CarveBat recipe was added to the pool of recipes that can be on a melee weapon schematic.
- Added the Improvised Screwdriver items to some attached weapon definitions. Bandits, Survivalist, and later game zombies may have them attached to or impaled within them.
- Iron and Steel Bars, Bar Halves, Rods and Rod Halves will break into halves when they break, like many other melee weapons.
- It's possible that people may exploit this as a "materials processing" exploit; you should still be able to saw/forge/etc. broken rods/bars into halves as is, and it is arguable that

- Added research progression for pots, cutlery, pans, and saucepans and kettles (although their craft recipes are commented out).
- Rebalanced the skill level requirements for the welded weapons as they were too "bottom heavy".
- Changed MakeSmallScrapWeapon to MakeSawbladeHatchet; it was a multi-recipe that could also make a scrap cleaver, but also there was already a scrap cleaver recipe.
- Halved the time required for the recipe research action.
- Having a Magnifying Glass or Loupe in either hand will further slightly reduce item research time.

- Added research progression for pots, cutlery and pans

- Increased the burn time of the firewood bundle to match unbundled firewood.
- Added an addCorpse function to IsoGridSquare; the code generates and drops corpses in multiple places so having a utility function to use instead will simplify matters.

- A players relevant highest skill level can reduce how long craftRecipes can take to perform; for every level the highest skill level is higher than the highest recipe skill requirement the time required to perform the craftRecipe will be reduced by 5%.
- Fixed times repaired not transferring from the weapon to the blade when dismantling blades. The times repaired inheritance for weapon parts is probably going to have more gremlins to flush out.
- Reorganized welded weapons recipe file by skill level.
- Rebalanced the weapons that can be produced by welding, generally strong reductions in durability, and lesser reductions in damage and criticals.
- The intent of these weapons is to be "crappier" crude versions of "properly crafted" weapons; under ideal circumstances a skilled blacksmith would produce properly crafted real weapons instead of the crude welded weapons.
- Rebalanced some weapons produced by knapping in regards to durability and damage output.
- Fixed several recipes having duplicate condition fields.
- Reorganized the knapping recipe file by skill levels requirements.
- Changed the category of some knapping-related weapon and tool assembly recipes from "Survival" to "Assembly" as almost all weapon and tool assembly recipes are in that category, especially ones involving sticking heads onto sticks like these ones.
- Minor tweaks/simplifications/consistency-ing to some knapping recipes.
- The knapp stone awl craftRecipe requires no skill level to perform.
- Rebalanced several Cudgel type weapons in regards to their damage and criticals.
- Rebalanced the skill level requirements of several improvised weapon recipes involving Carpentry or Maintenance. This is to make the weapon recipes, less bottom heavy, skill level requirement wise, with a more drawn out progression, and providing more room for blacksmithing to be a superior option (assuming materials and workstations).
- Some minor rebalancing of mace and morningstar type weapons.
- Consolidated some code for spawning corpses into IsoGridSquare.

- Added Coffee to the items that can spawn as kitchen countertop clutter.
- Added craftRecipe for making an improvised knife from a machete blade.
- Changed text display strings for Crude Sword/Shortswords and their blades to "Simple" Swords/Shortswords and Blades to be consistent with how most every other crude weapon and tool have had their display name string changed to "Simple".
- Changed display text strings for Crude Whetstone to Improvised Whetstone, as above.
- Spiked bone clubs can be crafted.

- Applied placeholder values to crafted metal armor for Bullet Defense; this isn't very realistic as-is, and is subject to change, but despite being quite low ranging from 5% to 20, ; ideally we will have better handling of armor types versus specific calibers of ammunition at some point, so this is to acknowledge that we aren't ignoring the matter in the meantime.
- The Baseball trait teaches the Carve Baseball Bat craftRecipe.
- Added new display string for WeaponMag7 "Magazine: The Louisville Bruiser", which teaches the Cave Baseball Bat craftRecipe.
- Added some checks to the other looted two building/store stories so that if the looted building option is disabled, those other similar-but-different stories from the "trashed and looted buildings" shouldn't occur. They will also use the same limit on room numbers that the trashed and looted building story uses.
- Modified some general purpose crafting lua code used for Knapping and Carving to be more flexible/robust.
- Added craftRecipes for sawing Wooden Rods from Long Sticks, Tree BRanches from Saplings, and Small Handles from wooden rods. If you have a saw, and a source of Long Sticks/Saplings/Brooms/Mops/Hockey Sticks/etc, you will be able to produce Wooden Rods and Small Handles without any carving beyond carving Saplings and Hockey Sticks into Long Sticks, which doesn't have any skill level requirement.

- Allow players to use liquids from different containers in craft recipes
- Added the item and craftRecipe for a Flint Saw and Scraper.
- This functions as a "crude saw" for some, but not all, craftRecipes (it can so simple/crude work but not fine work), as well as a fleshing tool.
- Saws and Crude Saws can be used to make Log Furniture in addition to Axes that can chop down trees.
- Added the item and craftRecipe for a Twig Broom.
- This does the things that a normal Broom does in regards to cleaning and being able to be used to make spears.
- Made the recipe for making rope from dogbane the recipe for making it from hemp, and the recipes for making twine from dogbane and the recipe for making it from hemp or flax consistent in regards to their tools, durations, etc.

- Added animals skeleton with no heads.
- Balanced butchering meat given.

- Added the Trait "Mason" which provides 2 levels in the Masonry skill.
- Characters with the Mason trait know several workstation building recipes that involve bricks or stone and concrete.
- Adjusted the Masonry skill bonus provided by the Construction Worker profession from +3 to +2; it's probably still too much for the point cost of the profession, but it should at least be consistent with the Mason trait, which is consistent with other Skill traits.
- The Masonry craftRecipe for making Stones from Large Stones provides more XP.
- The Masonry craftRecipe for making Stone Blocks from Stones now requires Masonry 1 and provides XP equivalent with it's level requirement.
- Similarly the recipe for making Small Stone Wheels, Large Stone Wheels and Stone Anvils requires Masonry 2. Some of these arguably should be greater, to provide progression and more XP, but this is the initial rebalancing pass.
- Added stonemasonry recipes for making Stone Maul and Large Axe Heads using a Club Hammer and Masonry Chisel. These have a much higher skill level requirement than the knapping versions, and also don't need to be learned. This is to provide some high level options for the stonemasonry skill, and it doesn't seem unreasonable as well when using proper tools.
- These craftRecipes should eventually require a suitable workstation, such as using a flat boulder, versus being an AnySurfaceCraft.
- Changed how the learned recipe/granted xp messages are presented to the player. Although there is no control available over the duration of the message, the formatting has been changed to hopefully be easier and faster to read.
- Added the DontRecordInput inputFlag to the clay and concrete inputs used to build tiles and workstations.
- Added the item and craftRecipe for a Flint Saw.
- This functions as a "crude saw" for some, but not all, craftRecipes (it can so simple/crude work but not fine work).
- Saws and Crude Saws can be used to make Log Furniture in addition to Axes that can chop down trees..
- Added the item and craftRecipe for a Twig Broom.
- This does the things that a normal Broom does in regards to cleaning and being able to be used to make spears.
- Made the recipe for making rope from dogbane the recipe for making it from hemp, and the recipes for making twine from dogbane and the recipe for making it from hemp or flax consistent in regards to their tools, durations, etc.
- Boosted the durability of the spears made using proper forged spear heads.
- Made the CopyBuildingKey craftRecipe not-researchable; it was too easy for any player to learn it from building keys, and is supposed to be more of a "criminal"/heist type thing.
- Added crafted bone and wood knitting needle items.
- Added craftRecipe to carve bone and wood crafted Knitting Needles.
- Added recipe magazine "Pioneering Carvers" that teaches the Carve Knitting Needles recipe; the recipes for carving bone Awls and Sewing Needles were also moved to this magazine from another one.
- Extend rain fluid dilution mechanics to dilute all fluid types/work on barrels.
- Added the Trait "Inventive" which provides a benefit with learning recipes from items or the autoLearn mechanic by reducing the required level; it still needs an icon.
- Added the Trait "Artisan" which provides +1 to Pottery and Glassmaking; it also still needs an icon.
- Tweaked the math for the level requirement calculations for the research mechanic; it will now round the calculated level to the nearest whole number, instead of always rounding down.
- Added the Flint Saw as a valid input for several crafting and building recipes.
- Added a craftRecipe to saw wooden Baseball Bats and nail-spiked Baseball Bats into Short Bats, which will also reset their condition if damaged.
- Consolidated the second spear dismantling recipe, ReclaimFromSpear2, with DismantleLongerImplement, as both craftRecipes output a broken long stick; the spears this recipe dismantles involved spear heads that have been mechanically attached to the spear shaft and their removal breaks the shaft versus "taped on" spears.
- Added a craftedRecipe DismantleGardenImplement for cases where a broken garden tool handle should be produced, and not a long stick; this should be consolidated with DismantleLongerImplement, but I'm not certain that multiple output mappers currently works as desired.
- Added the input tag ResearchInput; if the input item has recipes that the player can research they will learn them.
- Added the ResearchInput tag to the electronic and radio dismantling recipes.
- Added researchable progression to radio type items.
- Rakes can be dismantled for a Rake Head and broken Long Stick.
- The Siberian Bear Hunting recipe magazine also teaches the recipes for forging spear heads.
- Filleting fish provides Butchering XP and not Cooking XP.
- Balanced butchering further.
- Added rotting stage for animals, currently i only have bloodied skeleton, but rotten corpse (before skeleton) is coming.
- Rebalanced several carving recipe time requirements; they should be more consistent and sensible, as well as more generous in many cases.
- The Wooden Bucket carving recipe requirement has been increased to 4 from 3.
- Several carving recipes, including forks, buckets, goblets and spades, require being learned.
- Appropriate traits teach these recipes and appropriate recipe magazines teach them.
- However, alongside generous autoLearns, there are ways to research all of these recipes.
- Wood Spoons can be used to carve Wood Forks and Boon Spoons and be used to carve Bone Forks. This just makes sense but also allows for cunning XP goblins to double down their gains when crafting carved tableware.
- The Wooden Trowel can now be used like a Hand Trowel alongside being able to be used as a Plaster Trowel and a Masons Trowel.
- Adjusted the autoLearn requirements for some carving recipes in that they were too generous; they are still generous.
- Tires and Tires Pieces both provides less Tire Armor research recipes, only teaching Shin and Forearm Armor; however crafting those and researching them will teach additional tire armor recipes.
- Consolidated the metal mask craftRecipes by material into one recipe.
- Ammo Straps, Double Holsters and Crafted Hide Holsters can be cut up for a leather strip and buckle alongside Belts.
- Fixed some errors with "Base.Base." in some craftRecipe scripts.
- The durability of stone, bone, and simple/crude metal spears was boosted; these all comprise "proper" spears, and as such are being slightly de-nerfed.
- Disabled some lua farming code for handling being damaged by vehicles; it was redundant as it is handled java-side.
- Several disassembly recipes for long and longer type implements were consolidated into one craftRecipe; it's outputMapper should produce the correct head and broken handle for the dismantled object.
- Rebalanced Animal Bone club-type weapons.
- Added craftRecipes for processing Copper, Gold and Silver scrap, sheets, and bars.
- Added craftRecipes for forging Goblets and metal Cups.
- Restored craftRecipes for forging copper Kettles and Saucepans.
- Added craftRecipes for processing copper items into Copper Scrap; Copper Scrap can be made into Copper Sheets to craft Copper Items.
- Added craftRecipes for forging Gold and Silver Spoons, Butter Knives, and Forks.
- Added craftRecipe for forging the Jawbone Morningstar weapon.
- Added craftRecipes for producing Gold and Silver scrap by processing Gold and Silver jewellery.
- Although this will produce any appropriate gemstones for the processed items, this uses procedural OnCreate code to generate them, and they will not be displayed in the crafting UI; this is a case where it's not practical to include that information in the crafting UI due to specificities of the craftRecipes in question.
- With this players should be able to generate Blacksmithing XP by producing Gold and Silver tableware, goblets, cups and masks, by scrapping Gold and Silver jewellery and producing Gold and Silver sheets from the scrap.
- Added recipe for rendering Metal Baseball Bat type weapons into Aluminum Scrap.
- Aluminum Scrap can be used for the Scrap Sheet Metal Weapon craftRecipes.
- Aluminum Scrap can be further rendered into Aluminum Fragments, which alongside Aluminum Foil, can be used for some Bomb and Radio recipes.
- Iron and Steel Scrap can be rendered into Iron and Steel Pieces and can be forged into chunks or bar quarters.
- Adjusted how the yields work for scrapping vehicles; a more useful spread of crafting materials should be produced.
- Adjusted the Carve Short Bat recipe to require a higher skill level, and to be learned, based on feedback; this is taught by appropriate professions, traits and magazines, and can be researched.
- Adjusted the Carve Wooden Spade recipe to require skill level 4 and not 3 also based on feedback.
- The Forge Buckle recipe needs to be learned; this is taught by appropriate professions, traits and magazines, and can be researched.
- Adjusted the weights of some metal scrap items for better consistency with crafting.

- Rebalanced nutrition values for alcoholic beverages.
- Removed XP for sub-dividing Fish Fillets; this was just so oversize Fish Fillets could be made to fit smaller containers, but players were using it as an XP generating exploit.
- Opening canned food with a knife or sharp stone is now AnySurfaceCraft and not InHandCraft; this is to make it less likely for players to unintentionally select this option when opening cans. Additionally with right-clicking you cannot both select the can and knife, and you can break a knife (or your hand) performing this craftRecipe. You should use a surface when stabbing a can open anyways.
- Based on community feedback, mildly nerfed Short Bat class weapons; their minimum damage value was reduced by 0.1, which means that damage, before additional calculations, will be 0.05 less on average.
- This doesn't affect Spiked clubs and Maces, both of which are made from Short Bats; these are endgame Blacksmithing weapons and as such should be meta weapons.
- Increased the Knapping skill level requirement by 1 for the Large Stone Axe Head and Stone Maul Head craftRecipes; looking over community feedback, they have acquired a meta-weapon reputation, their statistics have already been nerfed but as-is they also had remarkably low skill level requirements compared to weapon crafts in general, so this may need to be increased further.
- All bomb/bomb-type weapon items have a maximum condition of 1; this is to prevent them from ever spawning in a "Worn" state from having a condition of less than 1/3rd maximum.
- Added Survival Schematics; they are like other Schematics but teach wilderness and post apocalypse type survival craftRecipes.
- Leather Drying Racks can be built using the Flint Saw item.
- Slight buff to brake-disc type weapons; as heavy-type weapons they were under performing.

- Road kills will now yield way less meat and of poor quality.
- Moved Dig Furrow in the Shovel sub context menu.
- Animals can now be added to graves.
- Butchered meat numbers/value will be reduced with time passed since animal's death (start lowering at 12h).
- This meat can be rotten if the animal stayed dead for too long before butchering.
- Update the status of food for animal dead bodies (so it'll say Stale/Rotten if needed).
- Added animal bodies rotten version, it takes 50h by default (hours for corpse removal sandbox option) to change the animal rotting stage (fresh -> rotten -> bloody skel -> skel -> removed).

- The time until maximum Trashed & Looted buildings has been changed from 56 days to 90 days.
- The Maximum Rat Index sandbox value has been changed from a default value of 100 to 50 and is also hard capped to 50.
- Weapons that do not generate Maintenance XP now have a tooltip warning the player as such.

- Removed the ability to remove buckets from forges.
- Removed XP from researching items.
- Reverted calls for adjustMaxTime in timed actions added in commit 26957 as it led to the multipliers being applied twice.
- Adjusted values in ISBaseTimedAction.adjustMaxTime so that unhappyness and drunkeness have a stronger effect.

- Boosted the xp, in general, for constructing tiles.
- This should now be, minimum, 10xp/per level of skill requirement; 1-6 xp for 0 skill tiles.
- This is because previously, with tile dismantling enabled, xp-wise it was far more productive to destroy tiles than to make them, by a high degree. The xp awards for building stuff were remarkably low compared to dismantling mechanics.
- Sledgehammers can spawn as surface clutter in Farm Storage and Garage roomdefs.
- Restore skull tags in inventory pane for hazardous fluids placed in world.
- Packing eggs in a carton sets the carton's freeze time to the average freeze time of the 12 eggs.
- Restore reserve water to plumbed items when mains is off
- Fixed the "Discovered Recipes and Media" button possibly extending past the edge of the Info panel.
- Updated some buildings on the in-game map.

- Raised unhappiness and drunkenness effects so actions take two times longer to finish if you're at max moodle level in one of them.
- Mild reduction in the chance/amount of armor and weapons that spawn on Survivalist outfit zombies.
- Nerf to the amount and kind of loot in late-game Bandit outfit zombies backpacks.
- Mild nerf to the amount of loot in late-game Survivalist outfit zombies backpacks.
- Both Bandits and Survivalist outfit zombies will have good stuff, they were just nudged to have slightly less good stuff.
- Some appropriate vehicle types have the possibility of spawning a Sledgehammer as part of their trunk loot.
- Extend plumbing FindExternalWaterSource tests to find water sources within range of ALL sprites of a multi-sprite IsoObject (e.g. Bath)
- Slightly reduced Old and Cheap Generators sound radius and volume; they are still louder than the good ones.

NEW
- Finalized first draft of a system for reverse engineering recipes from items.
  • If a player can learn any recipes from an item with this system, right-clicking on the item will provide a right-click option with a light bulb option to "Research Craft".
  • Additionally, in debug mode, right-clicking will reveal all of the information regarding researchable recipes.
  • Researching an item's craftRecipe will also grant the same amount of xp as performing that craftRecipe would provide.
  • If an item has researchable recipe(s) for a player, the item's tooltip will include, in prominent good-color text, that information.
  • Includes Tech-tree-progression via item recipe research for tongs (from pliers and vise grips); shears and scissors; and lower tier knife progression; many baseball bat, spiked club, and mace type weapon recipes; tree branch, wooden stick, large branch/cudgel, medium handle, baseball bat and short bat type weapons, axes, and fleshing tools.
- Improved Vertical Aiming.
  • Added up and down aiming angles for weapons
  • Added missing event back into HandgunDefault.xml to properly transition zombies to correct hit reaction
- Added HandWeapon.isSelectFire() and .cycleFireModes()
- Pressing shift + rack (default x) will now cycle through fire modes for select fire weapons
- Guns can now have a safety by adding "Safe" to the list of fire mode possibilities (none of the base guns currently have this)
- Added new Player Customisation Screen.
- Added 2 new animations for stopping a spear charge (holding a spear while Sprinting).
- Added 'Disable' choice to sandbox options for electric and water shutoff dates.
- Added/Restored some Annotated Stash Maps.
- Added six new flyers, fixed Wizard's Den flyer - AMZ Steel, Home Sweet Gnome, Roxy's Roller Rink, Spiffo's Hiring (West Point, Dixie, Louisville)
- Updated Blacksmith van texture.
- Added visible Clay Deposits. It is now possible to take clay from clay tiles (WIP).
- Added a Wooden Masons Trowel and a recipe for carving one.
- Added a Bone Fleshing Tool and a recipe for carving one.
- Added large and small plant drying racks made from sticks and rags; this is so players can build them without needing twine.

- Double-clicking an entry in the list of builds or handcraft panel will build it.
- Added Blacksmith, Butcher, Leather, MobileLibrary, and Glass Vans.
  • The Blacksmith Van has smithing-related supplies and literature as well as most of the equipment found in the Metalworking van.
  • The Butcher Van has tools required to hang/process meat as well as handle some of the mess.
  • The Leather Van has tanned hides ready for use, as well as plenty of Awls.
  • MobileLibrary has a high chance for Skill Books across the board; note, these should not spawn normally in Louisville or its airport, as these are generally used for rural areas/smaller communities.

- Added native support for Apple Silicon Macs (as well as Intel Macs, as before). Mac users: please let us know of any issues.

- Added SurvivorSwap.lua debugging tool.
  • This adds a few functions to modify a survivor's appearance, skills, traits, profession, as well as completely change the inventory and worn gear based on data defined in a Lua table. These can be called mid-game.
  • Definitions added to the SurvivorSwap.Survivors and SurvivorSwap.Loadouts tables will be automatically added to world context RMC > [Debug] > Survivor Swap (no definitions are currently added so this submenu will not appear)

BALANCE

- The Livestock Farmer profession will start the game knowing the MakeBarbedWire recipes.
- New characters that start the game with the carpenter or repairman profession, or the handy trait, will know appropriate improvised melee weapon recipes.
- New characters that start the game with the brawler trait will know the BoltBat recipe in addition to the other melee weapon recipes that they previously knew.
- The Skeleton Psycho randomized story will drop a Fleshing Tool in the same room as the skeletons.
- Molotovs can be crafted using Alcohol, Tequila, Vodka or Whiskey, and Denim Strips in place of rags.
- Fishing rods can also be crafted or repaired using a bone or forged fishing hook.
- Rain will slowly replace water with tainted water for items on the floor that can be filled.
- Adjusted the Wooden Spade item weapon values and removed/changed some inappropriate item tags and script fields.

- Rebalanced the craftRecipes for Bone, Bulletvest, Spiking Soft Armor, Tire, and Wood armor:
- Bulletvest armor and Spiking Soft Armor craftRecipes only had their xp awards increased, as did the other recipes.
- Generally, these armor craftRecipes will use autoLearnAll and not autoLearnAny if they have multiple autoLearn skills; i.e. they are harder to autoLearn than most recipes in general.

- The skill level requirements, and autoLearn level requirements, were adjusted to provide more of a sense of progression, generally following a, from low to high, forearms/shins -> shoulders/thighs -> body armor progression. Generally speaking, instead of being able to make most of an entire set of an armor type upon hitting a certain skill level(s) breakpoint, it will be paced out in a slower fashion.
- Adjusted the autoLearn requirements for several craftRecipes, mostly related to improvised type weapons and carving.
  • This was done to provide a more gradual progression with the autoLearned recipe with these skills, some skills have lower requirements, some have higher, but the net effect should provide the players with more options in general as they progress in skill levels.
  • In addition to a more gradual progression, it means less spammy learned recipe messages when gaining skill levels.

- The make firecracker recipe now produces a distinct crafted firework item instead of the string of red firecrackers.
- The fiberglass handled sledgehammer will break and be dismantled exactly like the wooden handled one, producing a broken long wood handle.
- Added HandAxes to the item clutter pools for a couple of campsite type stories; axes are more rare in general in b42 due to the broad loot spawn nerf.
- Updated Make Bowl of Oatmeal and Cereal recipes to require fluid in the bowl instead of a separate container, reduced amount from 0.4L to 0.3L as that's how much a bowl holds.
- Updated Create Brain Tan recipe to require water in the bowl, reduced amount from 0.5L to 0.3L since that's how much a bowl holds.
- Reduced the amount of milk, sugar, and baking fat needed to Prepare Muffins.
- Wild chickens/turkeys stop producing eggs/feathers unless being taken care of.

- Autodrink no longer uses its own math for thirst or poisoning, it calls IsoPlayer.DrinkFluid, so that results are consistent and we can keep balancing it.
- Changed how much thirst water fluids provide for 1L.
- We need feedback on this please, gang!

- Recipes for remote triggers and sensors, and traps that use electronic parts now grant Electrical xp, scaling with their skill level requirements.

- Small balance for fishing.

- Fixed wrong texture being used when opening dented cans.
- Fixed duplication of Bowls for Make Bowl of Beans recipe.
- Fixed wooden chair becoming unavailable when carpentry is at level 5.

- Fixed syncing the selected tile and tileset between views in the tile-geometry editor.
- Fixed radial menu option for siphoning gasoline picking the first empty fluid container instead of preferring gas cans.
- Fixed issue with craft menu showing all input fluids as water / not showing currently applied fluid correctly
- Fixed emergent issue with input items with IsEmpty flag not being fillable
- Fixed more cases of being still able to build shelves inside another.
- Fixed alarms not being triggered if the player set the time to a non-multiple of 10 (ie: 2:07). This does create an inconsistency as the clock UI and tooltips only display in multiples of 10 (an alarm ringing at 2:07 will still show 2:00 on the clock)
- Fixed an issue where if a character lacked extra resources for additional constructions, building would fail while still consuming the items.
- Fixed missing tile properties for player-made constructions.
- Fixed missing moddata for created items by craftRecipe, that saves used items.
- Fixed missing SurvGuide button for controllers.

- Fixed some issues with inappropriate vehicle key spawning.
- Fixed oversized crafted paint brush.
- Fixed issues with water sources displaying an empty context menu when the player isn't thirsty, dirty, and has nothing to fill. The 'drink' option will now always show regardless of thirst level as this was being interpreted as a bug.
- Fixed ISUnequipAction from not properly validating if the player actually has the item in question. In situations where a heavy item was equipped in both hands, this could lead to duplication if the timed action was called on both the primary and secondary hands as the player would drop it twice.
- Fixed missing canDetach Lua callback for WeaponParts, similar to the existing canAttach callback.
- Fixed masks not being unequipped and re-equipped when drinking.
- Fixed some nutritional values of fluids.

- Fixed Screwdrivers being a hard requirement for attaching/detaching WeaponParts. The `CanAttach` and `CanDetach` Lua callbacks are now exclusively used for validation. All current WeaponParts except AmmoStraps now use `Recipe.WeaponParts.hasScrewdriver`
- Fixed issues with cutaways. Interiors of cutaway buildings are blacked out when the player is more than 10 square away from the building (buildings still cut away when aiming from a distance, due to the need to see occluded areas on the north and west sides).

- Fixed obsolete lines and wrong corner sprits in log fence and stick fence scripts.
- Fixed HollowBook tag being used by both books that could be hollowed and books that had already been hollowed, allowing for infinite crafting. Books that are hollowed now use the IsHollowedBook tag.

- Fixed an error when getting muffins from a tray.

NEW

- Building and Vehicle keys, when properly spawned, will have data regarding their origin coordinates recorded in the item data. - As a Debug or Admin tool, items that have their origin coordinates recorded can be right-clicked on in the inventory interface to get an option to teleport to that item's point of origin. - Note #1: This will only work for keys spawned after this update; pre-existing keys will not provide that functionality. - Note #2: This will teleport the character to the square a vehicle initially spawned in. If the vehicle has been moved, it will not be at the teleport destination. - This is a debug tool for checking exactly what keys unlock but could have other debug/admin utilities for stuff like annotated maps, fliers, quest items, etc. - Added isThumpable = false to several buildMenu entities that shouldn't have collision. - Added moveables properties for several buildMenu entities that are missing moveable properties. - Added proper model for Wooden Spade. - Added new Music Fest flyer. - UI improvements when creating animal designation zones - Fixed calculation of which square is under the mouse pointer. - Highlight the square under the mouse pointer. - Render the zone being created in red if the zone size is invalid. - Cancel creating a zone after releasing the mouse button when the zone size is invalid. - Fixed panel getting too tall to close with many animals in a zone. Changed the Livestock Zone UI to display a scrolling list of animals. - VRAM usage optimisation. - Added Concrete tag to all proper buckets and made it so recipes use the tag instead of specific bucket items. - Added MayDegradeLight to several recipes that use a Mason's Trowel.

BALANCE

- Updated loot distribution. - Increased gun spawns in gun stores and police storage to make them feel more rewarding to loot. - Spiced up prison storage loot. The storage room now acts as a repository for riot control's armor and shotguns. [Shotguns cannot properly spawn yet, mappers will put in steel/military lockers later.] - Added PrisonLaundry to the prison's laundry room. Washers and dryers should spawn uniforms. - Added the Locksmith, Florist, and Craft Supply vehicles. - Set up the Fire Department garage. FireStorageMechanics, as well as PiliceStorageMechanics and police garages, have a decent chance to spawn a red lightbar. - Fleshing Tools now have a chance of spawning with other tools in GigaMart; however, as with any other loot spawning, they will not always spawn in GigaMart. - Added the Fleshing Tool to several loot distros/contexts. - Adjustments were made to force butchery containers to spawn in many grocery store and kitchen contexts; previously they could spawn but not always, now the loot spawning code will try to always ensure that at least 1 butchering container spawns in relevant contexts. - Seafood delivery vans can sometimes spawn a Fleshing Tool in their cargo compartment. - Added blacksmithing vans and stepvans. - They will spawn metal welder loot until the loot distributions are updated to have them spawn blacksmithing items. - Torches (drainable that can be activated) are now consistent with any day length. - Also adjusted some of the light strength for some torches (penlight being way smaller than regular torch for ex.) - Duration of the battery depends on light strength, the Torch will be around 24h, Lighter only 1h, smaller light strength will mean longer battery duration. - Updated Charcoal Burning Pile to accept any item with the DigGrave tag, not just Base.Shovel. Added MayDegradeLight tag so there's a small chance of damaging the tool used.

FIXES

- Fixed character body overtwists while aiming and rotating. - Character's upper torso no longer gets frozen as it twists around, due to missing valid animation. - Default aim animation requires condition { weapon == '' } - However, before the character has equipped anything, they have weapon = nullPtr. - Updated StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase to return TRUE if both strings are either null or empty. - So these all return TRUE. - equalsIgnoreCase("", "") - equalsIgnoreCase("", null) - equalsIgnoreCase(null, "") - equalsIgnoreCase(null, null) - Character no longer overtwists when unarmed or holding a 1handed melee weapon. - Unarmed and 1handed aim anims have a maxTwist of 45 degrees to prevent over-twisting the spine. - 2handed and projectile weapons still allow a 70-degree max-twist. - Maximum twist now dictated by parent AnimLayer. - Sub-layers can only twist up to this limit. - ie. aim maxTwist = 45 degrees cannot be overridden by the turning sub-state's maxTwist = 70 degrees. - Fixed character animation freezing when cancelling exercise. - Fixed texture compression not working on Windows OS. - Fixed issues with vehicles on Mac. - Fixed characters spawning in Muldraugh with the Doctor or Nurse profession being trapped in a wall when they spawn in Cortmans. - Fixed negative-world-coordinate issues with vehicle collision and interaction. - Fixed being able to open Doors from afar. - Removed mode:use from several recipes. - Fixed several packing recipes allowing for mixed items. - Fixed Create Brain Tan recipe duplicating Bowls. - Fixed duplication of bowls when moving food from a pot. - Fixed a reference to an armor item instead of the recipe that creates it in one of the metalworking recipe magazines. - Fixed issue where recipe input items missing module declaration (such as 'Base.') would be counted incorrectly for crafting requirements. - Fixed several missing recipe names. - Fixed bucket models missing in animations. - Fixed wall blood splats rendering on cutaway areas of walls. - Fixed wall blood splats rendering too bright on dark squares. - Fixed B no longer closing crafting menu. - Fix isExclusive flag not working for right-click context menu crafting. - Fixed missing blocks placement property for several new crafting-related tiles so that players can't build additional tiles on top of them. - Fixed errors with new vehicle textures, including locksmith vans using only one of two textures, florist stepvans incorrectly using masonry stepvan textures and a missing texture for one masonry stepvan. - Eggs will lose their fertilized status when too cold (inside a fridge). - Fixed Context Menu for Open/Close doors from triggering then canceling the WalkTo action. - Fixed "Possible Items" tab not resetting after closing the menu. - Fixed an error with teleporting while having the vehicle animal trailer UI opened. - Fixed being able to build shelves inside one another. - Fixed being able to place shelves in the wrong orientation. - Fixed smelting recipes not consuming certain items, like pans. - Fixed broken behavior when climbing over combined north-west fence corner tiles. - Fixed the Residential colorblind pattern not being applied on some buildings. - Fixed error with the sandbox setting for "percentage of weapons attached to zombies"-code. - Fixed not being able to attach a large stone axe to the back hotbar slot. - Fixed flax seed packets requiring/giving the wrong kind of flax. - "Put in" foraging context menu option now uses InventoryContainer.isItemAllowed for validation. - Fixed exception in ISRemovePatch when attempting to give the player a patch back. - Fixed some typos with item names. - Fixed some typos and errors in existing flyers. - Fixed lamp context menu not setting playerObj and playerInv, causing errors. - Fixed removing a gas mask filter not setting the filter's current uses correctly and not setting the NoFilter variable if it's a mask that gets replaced by a different item ID. - Added PlayerData null safety check to ISVehicleDashboard.onExitVehicle.
Project Zomboid - nasKo
NEW

- Sheet Curtains attached to animated doors are now rendered in 3D, attached to the animated doors.
- Added a craft recipe for Sawing a Plank from a Large Branch.
- Further development of an "InheritFood" inputFlag for craftRecipes.
- This is intended to automate translating all of the food qualities from the appropriate input to the appropriate product(s), such as properly splitting a pot of soup into bowls of soup, with all of the proper nutrition, cooked, poison, old, etc.
- Ideally, for most cases for food craftRecipes, having "InheritFood" on the proper input should produce the desired results without needing an OnCreate lua function.
- Added functionality for an "InheritCooked" craftRecipe input flag.
- If an input with that flag is Burnt, Cooked, or Frozen, according to the code the output should also be Burnt, Cooked or Frozen.
- Added Fire Axe Head item and enabled all of the business with them breaking and being assembled and disassembled like other axe items.
- Added Masonry business vehicles so more Masonry Chisels spawn.

BALANCE

- Adjusted how trees are evaluated based on their tile definition properties to determine their size and whether they yield logs.
- A distinction was introduced within the smallest class of trees, differentiating between "really small" and "small" trees.
- The really small trees will now drop one Log and a Sapling, bigger trees drop more Logs.
- Revised tree health calculations to account for changes in log yield.
- Note: Players with existing savegames will need to travel to unexplored areas for the "small but not really small trees" to drop logs when chopped down.
- Adjusted weight of the broken branch item from 2 to 1.5.
- Adjusted weight of Money Bundle from 1 to 0.5.
- Large enough pine trees can sometimes drop pine cones when chopped down.
- Large enough oak trees can sometimes drop acorns when chopped down.
- Rebalanced tree chopping yields as excess Large Branches were dropping due to redundant code.
- Crayons can be used to make green marks on the map.
- Lowered base stress from the trailer crash story to avoid Ram/Bull killing players on sight.


FIXES

- Fixed some broken animations when holding 1handed knives. We are aware that there are still issues with overtwisting animations and will fix it soon.

- Added the functions shouldHaveCollision to IsoSprite to try and help prevent inappropriate thumpables from being instanced.
- Related to issues with both teleporting and basements, added safety checks to several functions that set the Z-level for game elements to ensure that they don't set their Z-level to be below the minimum or above the maximum Z-level of the game engine.
- Fixed error with DebugContextMenu.onTeleportValid.
- Replaced player:teleportTo with getPlayer():teleportTo for non-client teleportation logic in the DebugContextMenu.onTeleportValid function.
- Fixed bugs when teleporting while in a vehicle, which also caused duplications and sometimes trapping players inside cars. Players will now be removed from a vehicle before being teleported.
- Now any time a character in a vehicle teleports, it is funneled through one java function in IsoGameCharacter.java that will properly remove them from a vehicle.
- Fixed the vehicle dashboard remaining on screen when teleporting from within a vehicle.
- Pottery kiln recipes should now accept any charcoal type.
