+Servers: Added new config setting, GrowthRate
-Controls how quickly players grow at all growth levels
-Can be set to EGrowthRate::VerySlow (0.5x), EGrowthRate::Slow (0.75x), EGrowthRate::Normal (1.0x), EGrowthRate::Fast (1.5x): or EGrowthRate::VeryFast (2.0x)

+Servers: Added new config variable, bPortalsDisabled. If true, all portals on the maps will be disabled
+Servers: Added new config variable, MaxTalentsAllowed. If set to -1, it is ignored. If set to any other value, players with not be able to spend more talents than this value on their creatures
-If players have creatures saved with more than this value, they will be prompted to remove some, similarly to Reincarnations
-This can be a great way to give your server a pseudo-talent reset. Set the value to 0 and let everybody subtract their talents! Then set it to -1 and they can spend them again as normal where they wish
+Servers: The CreatureLimits config now has two additional fields:
-SoftCapStart and SoftCapEnd
-Each species can now be separately configured for where soft group caps begin and end. The defaults are 0.7 for start, and 1.0 for end.
-This allows servers to configure when creatures begin counting towards soft group caps, and when they count as a full, "Adult" creature
+Servers: Servers can now set terrestrial carnivores able to group with other terrestrial carnivores, flyers with other flyers, and aquatics with other aquatics via server config
-Previously only herbivores could be configured to group with other herbivores
+Servers: Added new console command, FillAllFreshwater. Removes all dirtiness and sets all freshwaters to full. Requires EAdminCommands::ControlWeather
+Servers: Added new config setting bDisableCharacterDeath, in [/script/beastsofbermuda.savesystem]
-When set to true, if a player dies, they will return to the creature select screen but their creature will not be marked as dead.
-They can select it for play without resurrecting or reviving it and spawn back into the map at a randomly selected, appropriate spawn point for their creature
+Servers: Added new console command, SetDisableDeath, which allows the server to toggle the state of the bDisableDeath config variable while the server is running
-The state of this variable will always be shown to the client on the server info, on the escape menu, so players know whether or not death currently counts
+Servers: Added new config variable, SkinLockGrowthThreshold, which is the growth threshold at which skins will lock and become uneditable
-If set to -1.f, it will use the in-game default value of 0.7 growth. Any positive value will be used as an override for the growth level at which skin editing locks
+Servers: Added new server moderator category. EditFoliage. Allows usage of the Foliage Placement Editor while in the Observer Cam
-To use the Foliage Placement Editor in the Observer Cam, this permission is now required
+Servers: Added new config variable, bDisableResurrections
-When true, resurrections cannot be done by the player
+Servers: Added new config variable, bDisableReincarnations
-When true, reincarnations cannot be done by the player
+Servers: Added species-specific growth limits.
-Config files need to specify the GrowthLimits variable now, rather than GrowthLimit
-The format looks like this:
!GrowthLimits=ClearArray
+GrowthLimits=(Type=EDinoType::Acrocanthosaurus,Limit=100.0f)
+GrowthLimits=(Type=EDinoType::Apatosaurus,Limit=100.0f)
+GrowthLimits=(Type=EDinoType::Coahuilaceratops,Limit=100.0f)

Weather Config

+Added several new config variables that control weather. They are specified in the Game.ini file under this header
[/script/beastsofbermuda.weathercontrollerbase]
OceanHeightAdd
-Default value is 0. Adds this value to the Ocean height at all times, in centimeters. Can be negative to drop the Ocean height as well.
bStormsCauseStress
-When false, storms cause no stress
bSpawnsTornados
-When false, no tornados spawn
bCapStormSurge
-Default value is true. When false, storm surges will not stop near the top of the map, and can go over the highest point of land on the map
SpeedModifier
-Default value is 1.0f. Controls how quickly weather ticks. 2.0 will double weather tick rate and make storms play through twice as quickly, for example. Set to low values for very long storms
IntensityModifier
-Default value is 1.0f. Weather effects strength multiplier. Set to bigger values such as 1.5f or 2.0f to make weather more intense. Set to lower values to make weather more mild.
StormSpacingMultiplier
-Default value is 1.0f. Controls how long periods of time between storms are. Set to lower values to make storms happen more often and for sunny weather periods to be shorter
StormSurgeMultiplier
-Default value is 1.0f. Multiplies just how strong the storm surge is. Set to 0.0f to disable storm surge.
RainCommonness default is 5
FogCommonness default is 2
OvercastCommonness default is 2
DryLightningCommonness default is 1
-The above four variables control how frequent each weather type is. When the weather generator generates a weather event, it selects Rain, Fog, Overcast or DryLightning. Increase or decrease the above numbers to make various weather types more or less common or, at 0, they will never happen

Admin Foliage Placement Tool

+Added a new admin tool that allows the user to place permanent foliage on the map while using the observer cam.
-It can be accessed within the observer cam by pressing the "Ability" key while in the observer cam. To access this, you must have a new admin permission category, EditFoliage
+While in this foliage placement tool, you can select and place most of the various types of foliage (trees, bushes, etc) present on BoB.
-Additionally, some (a few) temple assets, some (a few) rocks, some (a few) cliff pieces, flowers, salt, crystals, and some cubes and planes have been exposed to this placement tool.
+You can place single instances of foliage or place them with a painting brush.
+While using the painting brush, you can specify density
+There is also an eraser brush and an undo option, but the eraser can only erase foliage placed using this tool. Regular map foliage cannot be changed. You can also bulk-delete all foliage or bulk-delete all foliage of a specified type that was placed using this tool
+While placing foliage in either method, you can specify the pitch angle, a random scale range, and a Z offset.
+Foliage can be labeled as edible or inedible. Edible foliage will be interactable by players, as they will be able to eat or pick up edible foliage. Tornados and forest fires will also interact with edible foliage. Regular foliage grades still apply. For example, a tree will be edible to creatures when they'd regularly be able to eat that tree. A rock marked edible will never be edible regardless.
+Foliage can be marked as permanent or temporary. Permanent foliage will respawn after eaten or destroyed, exactly like regular map foliage
+Foliage can be marked as save or do-not-save. Foliage placed and marked to save will save into a new save file named SERVER_MapName_Foliage.
+The Foliage Placement Tool shows how much of each foliage type has been placed on the map. It also estimates the additional load time necessary to send all of the new foliage data to a connecting client. There is no limit to how much foliage can be placed using this tool, but use caution. Adding more will increase loading times, so if you want to paint 10 million mushrooms, it'd cause unacceptable loading times
+Added a grid snap setting to the foliage placement ui. It includes an optional snap to z control as well. This allows easy snapping of building pieces such as temple assets or cubes
+Multiple people can use this tool at once, and it is used during a server's runtime, in real-time. Players will see you changing the map in real-time and foliage will be immediately interactable.
+Mechanics: Glide mode on the observer cam is now accessed by the "roar" key, rather than attack2

FPT 'Canvas' Maps:

+Added new map: Rival_Shores_Canvas. This is a version of Rival Shores with all of the edible foliage removed.
+Added new map: Ancestral_Plains_Canvas. This is a version of Ancestral Plains with all of the edible foliage removed.
+Added new map: DM_Caldera_Canvas. This is a version of DM_Caldera with all of the edible foliage removed.
+Added new map: Forest_Island_Canvas. This is a version of Forest_Island with all of the edible foliage removed.
+Added new map: Volcano_Bay. This map is very incomplete, but serves as a good canvas map for the foliage editing tool
-Warning, this map is extremely incomplete. It is a very large, tiled map with water sources, spawn points, shrines and some jungle trees present. Some water sources are extremely dangerous but the foliage editing tool can place temple ramps and stuff to make safe access

Footsteps

+All creatures now play sandy or muddy footstep sounds if stepping in sand or mud
+All creatures now leave behind wet, sandy, muddy, or bloody footsteps if the situation is appropriate
-Yes, this includes beached mosas, elasmos, and kronos!
-While carrying carcasses, or while bleeding, you now leave behind bloody footsteps
-The footsteps stay for about a minute and then fade out

Added partial support for Game Pads

- Supports Xbox controllers natively
- PlayStation 4 controllers work with a Windows driver https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows
- PlayStation 4 controller's touchpad works as a mouse to navigate menus
- Menu navigation for other controllers doesn't work yet
- Character moves with left analog stick
- Camera moves with right analog stick
- A = Jump, X = Use, B = Crouch, Y = Special, RT = Attack1, LT = Attack2, RB = Ability, LB = Scent, Left stick click = Sprint, D-pad Up = Emote Wheel (does not work yet), D-pad Down = Rest, D-pad Right = Lay Nest & No (prompts), D-pad Left = Yes (prompts)
- Keybinds might need a reset for controllers to work

General Mechanics Changes

+Mechanics: Reincarnations now have bad luck prevention, such that you'll never get less inherits than "average," based on your Trials
-This should result in reincarnations being less of a gamble, as you can't get a terribly low inherit count any longer when you have good Trials
+Mechanics: Increased fresh spawn inherits to 7-10, up from 3-5
+Mechanics: Increased minimum reincarnation inherits to 7-10, up from 5-7
+Mechanics: Carcasses that have been picked up no longer can apply Necrophobia
+Increased growth speeds significantly between 1.0 and 1.2. Average growth times from 0.4 to 1.2 should be:
-94 mintues for Oryctodromeus, Pteranodon, Velociraptor
-133 minutes for Pachycephalosaurus
-160 minutes for Megalosaurus, Tropeognathus, Elasmosaurus, Ichthyovenator
-200 minutes for Lurdusaurus, Parasaurolophus,
-267 minutes for Acrocanthosaurus, Kronosaurus, Mosasaurus, Saichania, Tyrannosaurus, Coahuilaceratops
-366 minutes for Apatosaurus
-The above cagetories do not necessarily mean these creatures grow at the same rates beyond 1.2, even if they grow at the same rates leading up to 1.2
-If a server has adjusted the GrowthRate config var, all these times can be divided by the scalar associated with that growth rate
-The above growth times were gathered with 50% food, water, comfort, food sat, and water sat

Trials

+Mechanics: It now takes less distance traveled to score well on the Distance Traveled Trial
+Mechanics: It now takes less comfort bias to score well on the Comfort Bias Consumed Trial
+Mechanics: It now takes less offspring to score well on the Total Offspring Trial
+Mechanics: It now takes a lower ratio of water satiation to water drank to score well on the Water Satiation Drank Trial
+Mechanics: Creatures now trigger to add to the Scents Identified Trial of they are swimming or flying
+Mechanics: The Scents Identified, Water Sources Visited, and Shrines Visited Trials now notify you when you find a new scent, visit a new water source, or visit a new shrine
+Mechanics: You now can get hunt points for killing your own species, so long as you are not grouped

Diets

+Mechanics: Poor diets no longer result in a slower movement speed
+Reduced Salt's respawn timer to 30 minutes, down from 1 hour
+Reduced Piscivores' fish requirement significantly
+Redistributed and increased salt locations on Rival Shores and Ancestral Plains
+Balance: Reduced salt requirements for all herbivores by about 33%

Quality of Life Changes

+QoL: Added dropdown button that shows server info, which now shows some of its config options
+QoL: Servers that have configured a Discord link now have a discord icon show up on the escape menu that can be clicked by players connected to the server to join their Discord
+QoL: The Character screen (O menu) now has a growth indicator on it
+QoL: Backup server save files are now sorted by game versions
+QoL: Certain interactable foliage objects no longer drop root balls when picked up and set down. This includes mushrooms, crystals, and vegetables

Balance Changes

+Balance: Damage-reducing effects such as Saichania's Spiky Shield now reduce incoming bleed damage as well
+Balance: Sai can now interact with trees and other tier 5 foliage at growth level 1.25
+Balance: Increased Hatchling, juvenile, and subadult speeds for Acrocanthosaurus, Apatosaurus, Ichthyovenator, Megalosaurus, Oryctodromeus, Pachycephalosaurus, Lurdusaurus, Saichania, Pteranodon, Velociraptor, Tropeognathus, Coahuilaceratops, Elasmosaurus, Kronosaurus, Mosasaurus
+Balance: Megalosaurus no longer deals bleed damage
+Balance: Megalosaurus' base attack damage is now 150, up from 130
+Balance: Megalosaurus' size is now 650 base, up from 600
+Balance: Megalosaurus' sprint speed is now 920, down from 950
+Balance: Megalosaurus' base health is now 675, up from 625
+Balance: Increased Ory sprint speed to 800, up from 551
+Acro's foliage tier is now 4, up from 3. This matches Coah, Sai, and Para's foliage tier.
+Swapped the Serrated Teeth talent for the Sharp Teeth talent on Megalosaurus. On older creatures, talent points and inherits from Serrated Teeth will automatically transfer to Sharp Teeth.

Bug Fixes

+Fixed: Strange collision on RS Pine and Birch Trees after being burnt
+Fixed: Being able to connect to the same server twice, which resulted in all kinds of strange bugs
+Fixed: Tropeo's right wingbeat hitbox is now properly positioned
+Fixed: Apato no longer requires excessive salt, and now gets a "Craving Salt" debuff instead of immediately getting "Salt Deficiency"
+Fixed: Client crash when entities take "damage" events locally from or to something in the map in certain cases.
+Fixed: Client Crash when generating combat log history in certain cases

The Coahuilaceratops Patch

Beasts of Bermuda - Soals

Coahuilaceratops

+Added Coahuilaceratops as a new playable creature
-The Coahuilaceratops is an omnivore and requires both meat and plant food in reasonable proportions to meet its diet
-Coahuilaceratops has built in +2 in Intimidation when dropping comfort of non-grouped players. This stacks with additional talents and inherits into Intimidation
-The Coahuilaceratops can turn in place, and does so while crouching
-The Secondary Attack is a hard-hitting gore attack, which behaves very similarly to that of a stomp. It also, however, deals knockback when it hits
-Attacking the Coahuilaceratops from the front results in it taking significantly reduced damage due to its large, protective shield

New Dietary System

+Dietary System has been implemented alongside the release of Coahuilaceratops to support its Omnivore status

There are four diet qualities you can have:
+Unhealthy Diets
-An unhealthy diet is met if any one of your dietary requirements are below the "Danger" threshold
-The reason for your unhealthy diet will be shown as a red debuff condition in the corner of the screen, which explains which requirement you are deficient in
-In order to remedy an unhealthy diet, one must eat the food or mineral type they are deficient in
-An unhealthy diet results in slower stamina regeneration, slower sprinting speed, and faster stamina drain

+Poor Diets
-Above an unhealthy diet is a poor diet
-A poor diet is met if any one of your dietary requirements are below the "Warning" threshold while all requirements still remain above the "Danger" threshold
-The reason for your poor diet will be shown as an orange debuff condition in the corner of the screen, which explains which requirement you are craving
-In order to remedy a poor diet, one must eat the food or mineral type they are deficient in
-A poor diet has no negative effects. It simply serves as a warning, stating you are craving a certain food or mineral.
-If foods of the improper types are continuously consumed while you are in a poor diet state, you will develop an unhealthy diet, deficient in the requirement you did not meet

+Balanced Diets
-A balanced diet is met if you have no dietary cravings or deficiencies, which would place you at a poor or unhealthy diet
-A balanced diet carries no buff or debuff with it
-Fresh spawns and saved creatures from previous save files will load in with balanced diets

+Superb Diets
-A superb diet is met if all of your dietary requirements meet the "Superb" dietary requirement
-While your diet is superb, you will see a green, positive status condition in the corner of the screen
-A superb diet allows eggs to gestate faster and allows you to incur less of a movement speed penalty while carrying objects such as foliage or meat and while gestating eggs

+General
-It should be observed that we deliberately chose not to make superb diets feel mandatory. They provide a couple nice, circumstantial, non-combat related buffs
-In order to quickly check your diet, you can find information about all of your dietary requirements on the Character screen (O menu, by default)
-Hatchlings have trivial dietary requirements. As they grow up, the requirements begin to come into play
-In order to see a more detailed breakdown of your dietary requirements and status, you can expand the stats on the Character screen to see a full dietary synopsis
-It is possible that we may add more dietary requirements in the future, potentially with unique buffs and debuffs for exceeding or ignoring the requirements. If people like the system, it's likely we'll expand upon it but for now we tried to keep it very simple, easy, and non-punitive
-Food combat logging messages now show what kind of food you're receiving from a particular eating event

Omnivore Dietary Requirements

-Pachycephalosaurus and Coahuilaceratops are both omnivores
-Omnivores must eat both plants and meat in sufficient quantities to balance their diet
-Fish, player carcasses, or carrion (map-spawned carcasses) all contribute towards a general meat category for omnivores

Piscivore Dietary Requirements

-Tropeognathus, Pteranodon, Ichthyovenator, and Elasmosaurus are all piscivores
-Piscivores must eat both fish and meat in sufficient quantities to balance their diet
-Player carcasses and carrion (map-spawned carcasses) both contribute towards a general meat category for piscivores

Carnivore Dietary Requirements

-The Kronosaurus, Mosasaurus, Velociraptor, Megalosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, and Acrocanthosaurus are all carnivores
-Carnivores must eat player carcasses in order to obtain a superb diet, which shows up as a "Meat" category for them
-Carnivores cannot have a poor or unhealthy diet due to the requirement that player carcasses be consumed to meet this requirement

Herbivore Dietary Requirement

-Parasaurolophus, Apatosaurus, Saichania, Lurdusaurus, and Oryctodromeus require salt in their diets
-Ancestral Plains, Rival Shores, Forest Island, Test_Performance, and DM_Caldera now have numerous salt crystals placed around the shorelines of the maps
-Salt does not give food
-In order to obtain a superb diet, you must meet 100% of your salt dietary requirement. You can exceed it up to 133%
-If you are full on salt (133%), you cannot eat more salt
-Salt cannot be carried
-Salt cannot be eaten by creatures who do not need to eat it

Reincarnation Mechanic

+A Reincarnation mechanic has been added to the game
-Creatures that are at least 0.8 in size can now be reincarnated
-In order to reincarnate, one must select a dead creature of at least 0.8 growth on the Save Select screen and then click the new Reincarnate button
-When a creature is reincarnated, a new juvenile of that species will show up in the player's Save Select screen in place of the creature that was selected for reincarnation
-The juvenile will receive a skin that would result from the reincarnated creature breeding with itself
-The juvenile will receive inherits that would be similar to that of the reincarnated creature breeding with itself
-The probability the juvenile will receive inherits is heavily tied to the quality of the reincarnated creature's Trials scores
-Good power Trials will improve the likelihood of inheriting power talents
-Good mobility Trials will improve the likelihood of inheriting mobility talents
-Good survival Trials will improve the likelihood of inheriting survival talents
-Doing poorly on Trials of a specific category does not make you more likely to inherit talents in other categories at the expense of that category
-Deity pledges and sacrifices apply to these inherit calculations exactly as they do when computing resurrection point values
-The juvenile will spawn at a random, appropriate spawn point on the map when first selected for play
-The 0.8+ growth, dead creature will be permanently lost, fully deleted from the game's save data and not available for resurrection or reincarnation, even by an administrator
-Skins can be edited on the reincarnated creature
-Reincarnations use the same gender as the previous creature

Replay System

+Replays have been added to the game, but be warned the recordings can be a bit choppy sometimes
-To access replays, visit the Escape Menu and select the new Replays option
-Here, you will be able to either start a replay, stop a replay, or view your replays
-Replay files can be shared between players so they should be a huge help for the moderation of servers
-Replays support admin viewing. For this to work, the player needs to play a replay that was generated on the server they are admin on (be it by them or an other player), and load this replay while being logged onto said server.
-Replays can be enabled to automatically record every time the player starts playing. If so, they will start a new file each time the player switches creatures
-While automatically recording, the replay files will also delete after a specified number of days. This can be set in the Gameplay Options UI
-The Replay controls UI visibility can be toggled using the toggle hud key, or by pressing the button for it on the bottom right of the screen when in replays

New Emote Wheel

+Emote Wheel UI:
-A new emote wheel has been added to the game
-By default, it is bound to the V key. It can be changed in the Keybinds settings for the game
-The emote wheel provides easy access to all 5 vocalizations, along with mate, nest, invite, and kick. Admins can also server kick, server mute, and server ban players through the emote wheel
-While holding the mouse over the mate, nest, invite, kick, and admin options on the emote wheel, a tooltip will show you who you're performing the action on or will tell you why you cannot do this action
-The emote wheel opens when you begin holding its keybind down and will perform the action your mouse is over when you release the key

Arboreal Nesting

+Arboreal Nests have been added to the game
-Arboreal nests are larger nests that can be laid in trees or on large rocks
-Arboreal nests have collision and can be sat in. You can also place eggs or other carried objects into the nest
-The Tropeognathus and Pteranodon can lay arboreal nests by perching on an appropriate surface, such as a tree branch
-The Velociraptor can now lay arboreal nests if they have at least 3 points in the Arboreal talent

Easy Anti-Cheat

+Easy Anti-cheat Integration
-Beasts of Bermuda now runs behind the protection of Easy Anti Cheat
-This will prevent any third-party software from running with Beasts of Bermuda
For information or support regarding Easy Anti-Cheat please visit their website.

Deity Shrines, Trials, and Resurrections

Beasts of Bermuda - Soals

Deity Shrines, Trials, and Resurrections

Deity Shrines

+There are six total deity shrines on Forest Island, Rival Shores, and Ancestral Plains that players may visit for the purposes of pledging or sacrificing.
-These shrines come in three different types, representing the Mobility, Power, and Survival Deities
-There is one of each type under the Ocean, and one more of each type on land.
+There is a new Trial called Shrines Visited. This trial requires one to visit each shrine.
-Non-aquatics only need to visit the shrines that are on land, and aquatics only need to visit the shrines under the Ocean, but Lurdu and Ichthy must visit all six.
-You do not need to pledge to a shrine to successfully "visit" it.
+If killed while in the presence of a deity shrine, that death counts as a sacrifice to that deity.
+Players do not grow in the presence of a deity shrine.
+Creatures killed in the influence of deity shrines drop empty carcasses.

Pledging or Sacrificing to a Deity

+Each deity shrine can be interacted with to give the player the option to either pledge or sacrifice themselves.
+If a creature that is not pledged or sacrificed dies, it is worth 75% of its previous value when used to resurrect a creature.
+If a creature is pledged to a deity, the Trials score associated with that deity is changed to equal the value of the second best Trials score.
-Creature point values are broken down and shown pre Trials category both on the save select screen and in the prompt shown when you pledge to a deity at a shrine
-These point values are based on a combination of how long the creature has been played, and how well the player has done on that creature's Trials
-If a creature has these point values: Power = 100, Mobility = 150, Survival = 125, a pledge to the Power deity shrine will bump the Power category up to 125. A pledge to the Mobility or Survival deity will not increase any individual Trials category unless the player earns enough Power Trials score to surpass one of these other two
-This allows players to avoid or neglect a specific Trial or collection of Trials and focus on the other two if they wish to, for example, ignore the hunting / power Trials
+If a creature sacrifices themselves at a shrine to a specific deity, the corresponding point value in that Trials category is instead set to the maximum of the three Trials categories.
-In the example above, this means sacrificing to the Power deity, which is done by visiting the Power deity shrine on the map, will result in their Power score being set to 150
+You can change your pledge at any time by visiting the appropriate deity shrine. The previous pledge is overwritten by the new pledge.

Resurrecting Dead Creatures

+Dead creatures can be resurrected by a new, in-game UI which can be found on the save selection screen
+When selecting a dead creature, the option to resurrect that creature will now be present
+While resurrecting a creature, the player is given the option to sacrifice dead or living creatures from their select screen to meet the cost of a resurrection
+If the cost of resurrection is not met, the value of the sacrificed creatures will instead be subtracted from the target's resurrection cost
-This allows players to chip away at the cost of resurrection for a large creature that may be too expensive to resurrect at the time
+The amount of points a creature gives in order to revive another creature is not equal to its own cost to be revived.
-Point values are always broken down into three categories: Power, Mobility, and Survival
-The cost to resurrect a creature is based on this formula:
If Growth > 1.1, Cost = 30 * (Growth / 1.1) ^ 5
If Growth <= 1.1, Cost = 30 * (Growth / 1.1) ^ 2
-The point value of a creature when used for meeting a resurrection cost is based on this formula:
PointValue = NumMinutesPlayed * TrialCategoryScore, where TrialCategoryScore ranges from 0 to 1.0 based on the average scores of the Trials in that category
-If dead and neither sacrificed nor pledged, this PointValue is 75% of what it would be from the calculation above
+When resurrected, creatures also receive a loss of some growth
-This growth penalty is very small for smaller growths, but climbs for large growths
-Here are some examples
-For a 1.0 creature, this means it will resurrect as a 0.8625 growth creature at the cost of 25 Trials points
-For a 1.5 creature, this means it will resurrect as a 1.2375 growth creature at the cost of 141 Trials points
-For a 2.0 creature, this means it will resurrect as a 1.6125 growth creature at the cost of 596 Trials points
-For a 2.5 creature, this means it will resurrect as a 1.9875 growth creature at the cost of 1819 Trials points
-For a 3.0 creature, this means it will resurrect as a 2.3625 growth creature at the cost of 4527 Trials points
-If a player resurrects with too many talent points spent for their reduced growth, their talent bonuses will not be active until they remove some talents of their choice. This is done by opening the Talents screen and clicking on talents

New Parasaurolophus

+The new parasaurolophus model, set of sounds, and accompanying animations have been added to the game to replace the older para
+There are currently five skins associated with the new para. Players who log in from older para saves will be given a new skin and will also be allowed to customize or change it once by visiting the character menu and hitting Dino Customization
-Added Darkfoot Para by TeaTimeJess & Natahi4
-Added Savannah Para by Twilightwolf and Natahi4
-Added Default Para by Twilightwolf and Callie
-Added Bison Para by Twilightwolf & Natahi4
-Added Pharaoh Para by TeaTimeJess & TripTrap
+Para now has a gender-specific morph on its model. This morph starts showing up as you grow larger and does not show in the juvenile stage
-Players logging onto a para saved from the public branch will be immediately prompted to change gender. You only get to do this once, so choose wisely

New Character Stats UI

+The 'O menu' has been redone
-Note that food and water satiation now only show up when they are non-zero, and that injury and bleed damage show up on the status condition icons

New Death Screen

+After dying, a new screen now shows up rather than the regular Escape menu.
+In the top-left corner, there is now a dropdown arrow that allows one to view character stats, server stats, and a combat history leading up to their death
-This combat history shows all recent damage dealt and received
-It also contains creature type, gender, growth, coordinates, server, and time
+The new death screen should now show you why you died if it was from comfort-related or status-related conditions

Talent Hints

+Smelling other players should now hint as to what kind of talent build they have, alongside which talent may be their best
-This hint prompt suggests what their first and second most talented trees are, and then suggests one of their strongest talents
-The talent portion of the hint changes once per hour to a new, randomly selected talent that may be tied for their best talent at the current time
-Inherits are factored into what this hint prompt displays

Burrow Changes

+Several large objects can now be found underground while digging in ory burrows
-This currently includes large ribs, a vertebrae column, boulders, and a spooky acro statue
+Adjusted the spawn rate and priority of the cucumbers in ory burrows such that they are as common as the potato
+Increased the amount of water satation cucumbers give to 3.0, up from 1.5
+If talented into Burrow Master, the Oryctodromeus can now move decorative objects around in their burrows
-One object can be stashed at a time, and while carrying an object an icon appears on the dirt jar HUD element
-One point into Burrow Master allows moving non-edible, non-solid, non-special objects
-Two points into Burrow Master allows moving edible and solid, non-special objects
-Three or more points into Burrow Master allows moving all objects, including special objects such as crystals and ruins
-The cost to pick up and stash an object is 2x the cost of digging a tunnel node, and is reduced with Swift Claws
-The Ability key will now do this, and will either stash the object in the node you're standing on or drop the stashed object, depending on whether or not you're carrying a stashed object
+Crystals, rocks, and other solid decorative objects now reappear if a tunnel node contained that decorative element becomes once again suitable for its placement
+Reduced the volume of the crystals in ory burrows by 70%

Balance Changes

+Adjusted Tropeo's damage so it deals significantly less as a hatchling, juvenile, or subadult
+Megalo's Identify ability is expanded: 4/3 reveals gender and 5/3 reveals food/water satiation
-Note that these won't show up on the UI if the target does not have any food or water satiation
+Para can now highlight any creature that is not in its group, rather than just non-herbivores
+The Para's alarm call now alerts the group chat of what they spotted
+Increased Megalosaurus' turn rate by 10%
+Stiffened Megalo's tail by 33% so it isn't as easy to hit during a fight

Map Changes

+Tightened the Out of Bounds volumes on RS (they were too far away from the playable area)
+Added the deity shrines on Rival Shores, AP, and Forest Island
-There are six in total. Three are under the Ocean and three are on land
-The Shrines Visited Trial only requires visiting shrines appropriate for your creature. Non-flying Semi-Aquatics need to visit all 6
+Updated the forest to jungle bridge so that it is easier to jump at low tide, but still hard to grab players
+Added new biome-specific ambient sounds to both Rival Shores and Ancestral Plains

Mechanics

+Consuming Water Satiation now counts towards the Water Drank Trial
+Consuming Food Satiation now coounts towards the Food Eaten Trial
+Dry lightning now adds to the Storm Time Weathered Trial
+The Distance Traveled Trial no longer applies for the Oryctodromeus
Added a new Trial for the Oryctodromeus - Distance Traveled Underground
-This requires about 1/3 the total travel distance of the previous Trial, but only counts while traveling while in a burrow
+Added a new Trial for Lurdusaurus and Ichthyovenator - Distance Swam
-This requires about 1/2 the total travel distance of the Distance Traveled Trial, but only counts while swimming
+Added a new Trial for all creatures - Species Identified
-This requires sniffing creatures of different species. It triggers if you sniff a player directly, so long as they are large enough to leave behind a scent trail.
+Forest fires now ramp up in spread rate for the first 90 seconds, giving players a larger window of time to see a fresh forest fire and escape to safety before it aggressively spreads
+Forest fires can no longer spawn within 100 meters of a player
+Reduced the maximum spread rate of forest fires
+Creatures marked dirty can now view their Trials, but cannot receive additional Trials score.
+SetWeather no longer increases the Storm Time Weathered Trial. ForceStorm still does.
+Console-spawned carcasses no longer grant progress towards any Trials
+Console-spawned plants no longer grant progress towards any Trials
+Mesh bites should now be more stringent, and should reject more cases where players are partially occluded by rocks or other objects
-This should remove the need for meshing-related biting or attacking to be moderated, as the game now handles this
+After logging in, players can now not deal or receive damage for 8 seconds
+Keen Senses no longer highlights players that are in the player's group
+The talent Sneaky now additionally reduces how long your scent trail is and, at 3/3, also makes it so you do not release scent while sitting or laying down

QoL Changes

+If banned from a server, it now shows you how many hours the ban remains for and the reason why
+Blocking a player through the player list now mutes them completely in your chat, this includes any message sent by them in global, local, pack, dm, ...
+The player list is now only searchable by steam ID if you are an admin on the server
+Game now warns you if you try to spawn a saved creature near other big animals
+Players logging on no longer automatically join a group if they cannot normally join that group without admin assistance, unless an admin is present in the group at the time of logging on
+Reworked the Megalosaurus' Identity UI
-Note that if Food and/or Water satiation is at 0, it won't show on the UI even with the proper level of talents and inherits
+Dutch and Polish are now supported as in-game languages
+Added a new, improved Ichthy mesh and set of textures
+Creatures that die and get resurrected now get their stats (bleed, injury, etc) reset. This means that if you died with a lot of injury, your resurrected creature will have none.
+Added creature info on the dino select screen for Lurdusaurus, Saichania, and Kronosaurus

Environmental

+Improved the wind sound effects
+The distant rumbling thunder sound now fades in before lightning strikes start happening
-This gives players a window of time where they can hear thunder approaching without the risk of being struck by lightning or witnessing the spawning of a forest fire
+Wind, Rain, and distant thunder rumbling sounds now turn off while the camera is underwater
+Edited rain weather effects to be more intense, and rain now blows with the direction of the wind
+Added a foggy effect while in caves
+While storming or windy, the Ocean's waves now get rough
+Cave lighting is now consistent regardless of time of day or weather outside

Server Control

+Added a new function: ServerGlobalMute(DurationSeconds) which allows to globally mute the server for the provided duration, after which it'll lift automatically.
+Added a new function: SlowMode(DelaySeconds, DurationSeconds) which allows to create a slow mode on the chat globally with the specified "cooldown" and duration, after which it'll lift automatically.
-These functions only apply to global chat and are bypassed by admins.
+The observer camera now also shows a player's talent points when using the Identify ability on it.
-You must have enableallscreenmessages set in the console
-This will not show inherits that are beyond the player's current growth
+The ListTalentPoints console command now has a player name argument and now requires UseObserver permissions, rather than ModifyTalents permissions
-This will also not show inherits that are beyond the player's current growth
+Observer Cam's ability now displays if player has used commands and is dirty or even unsaveable
+Servers can now specify which herbivorous species can group with one-another through the game.ini config file
-It is possible to make arrangements such as this:
-Species A can group with species B, B can group with C, but A cannot group with C.
-All cases where A and C may be able to get into a group through B such as logging on and offline should be accounted for and blocked correctly
-By default, the config is set up such that all herbivores can group with one-another, which is the way it currently is on public branch
-Here is an example config. A server wishes for para and pachy to never be able to group with one-another, but wishes for both para and pachy to group with every other herbivore. They also wish for all other herbivores to group with one-another

!AllowedSpeciesGroups=ClearArray +AllowedSpeciesGroups=(Group=(EDinoType::Apatosaurus, EDinoType::Saichania, EDinoType::Pachycephalosaurus, EDinoType::Oryctodromeus, EDinoType::Lurdusaurus)) +AllowedSpeciesGroups=(Group=(EDinoType::Apatosaurus, EDinoType::Saichania, EDinoType::Parasaurolophus, EDinoType::Oryctodromeus, EDinoType::Lurdusaurus))

Game Reporter

Implemented a passive tool server side which allows broadcasting certain game events through Discord webhooks.
This can be used to see chat activity live in a specific discord channel for moderation purposes,
It can also be used to keep an eye on admin command usage activity and login/logout of anybody on the server, for moderation purposes.
-These are the config settings available for GameReporter (in your Game.ini file):
+Added group activity tracking for GR:
-This is enabled by the config variable bUseGroupActivityWebhook and the settings GroupActivityDiscordWebhook and GroupActivityDiscordIconURL.
-This webhook will track player joining and leaving groups along with parsing the online group members when joining and after leaving.
-It also shows the growth and species of each player
+The commands SlowMode and ServerGlobalMute now support 3 parameters affecting the local chat, the group chat, and DMs.
+Added a new config variable, bForceIgnoreGroupSpeciesCheckOnLogin
-When true, players logging onto creatures will automatically rejoin their groups, even if they violate species permissions
+Added a new admin command category, GroupInvitesOnly
-The only ability this admin category controls is the ability to invite other players to groups
-The 'Groups' category also allows inviting players to groups, but also allows usage of the admin command disbandallgroups
+Implemented Combat log Tracking for GameReporter …
-Config settings are:

CombatActivityDiscordWebhook="webhook_url" CombatActivityDiscordIconURL="icon_url" (optional) bUseCombatActivityWebhook=True/False (to enable this feature on the server) [GameReporter] ChatReportDiscordWebhook="12345/example" ChatReportIconURL="any/url/to/img" LoginDiscordWebhook="12345/example" LoginDiscordIconURL="" AdminCmdDiscordWebhook="12345/example" AdminCmdDiscordIcon="IconURL" bUseChatWebhook=True bUseLoginReportWebhook=True bUseAdminCommandUsageWebhook=True ChatReportDiscordWebhook: Chatlog sent over to Discord LoginDiscordWebhook: Every login and logout will be sent to this webhook AdminCmdDiscordWebhook: Admin command usage login webhook

Note that these can use the same link if desired.
The webhook link needs to only be the channel number and webhook key, not the full discord webhook link.

eg. `https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/12345678/abcd` needs to be `12345678/abcd`

The Phoenix Patch

Beasts of Bermuda - Soals

The Phoenix Patch

------Forest Fires------

+Added new natural disaster: Forest Fires
-When fires start, they cannot deal damage or spread immediately, giving the player about 10 seconds to escape if one unluckily spawns underneath them
-Coming into contact with fires will apply a 'On Fire,' debuff for 10 seconds. While on fire, you take periodic damage. Entering water will put this debuff out.
-Being in close proximity to direct flames will cause very significant damage to the player.
-Being close to significant amounts of fire, smoke, and ash will apply a Stressful Scene debuff. This debuff applies a comfort loss and also serves as a warning for the next debuff
-Being close to very significant amounts of fire, smoke, and ash will apply a Suffocation debuff. This debuff starts your breath bar timer. Leaving the area will allow you to breathe
-From a distance, a forest fire will release large puffs of smoke, allowing players to easily see the presence of forest fires are on the map
+Forest Fire Spawning:
-Forest fires spawn from three sources
-Dry Lightning can frequently spawn very aggressive forest fires, but is a relatively rare weather type
-Thunderstorms frequently spawn smaller, localized forest fires. Rain often dampens their spread
-Long periods of time without rain will grant the chance for drought fires to spawn, which are very dangerous and spread rapidly
+Forest Fires can be started with the SpawnFire console command.
-Note that fires all use internal global counters that aggregate together, meaning if you want a 'fresh' fire, you need to wait for the old fire to totally stop releasing smoke before spawning another
-This command requires "Control Weather" permissions to use
+Forest Fires can burn down entire islands (or more) on Rival Shores, and have been seen to sometimes even burn down most of the mainland on Ancestral Plains.
-Very significant optimizations have been done regarding foliage eating, foliage respawning, and sending eaten foliage state data to joining clients to enable this kind of destruction to occur without issue
+Players selecting a creature for play will now receive a warning prompt if that creature spawns near a forest fire
+Spawn points near forest fires will not be selected for use

------Water Satiation and Water Dirtiness------

+Added new mechanic - Water Satiation and Water Dirtiness
+Added new status condition, Water Satiation. To obtain Water Satiation, drink from fresh, new water sources
-Dirty water sources smell brown, and water sources now dirty when drunk from by many players
-Water Satiation improves growth rate
+Added new status condition, Water Poisoning. Drinking from dirty, brown smelling water grants water poisoning.
-Water Poisoning decays over time back to zero, and can be seen by having negative water satiation on the O menu
-Water Poisoning displays a debuff in the corner of the screen
-Drinking from fresh, clean water will remedy water poisoning. Eating comfort flowers or crystals will not.
-Water Poisoning applies a comfort drop that gets more severe as more poisoning is obtained
+Drinking from bodies of water will dirty them. Bigger creatures dirty water more rapidly.
+Water gradually cleans itself over time. It rapidly cleanses during intense rain
-Drinking from water that is both clean and new and exciting will provide the most water satiation. New and exciting, somewhat dirty water and somewhat boring, clean water provide satiation as well
-Sources you are bored of that are also dirty will provide negative water satiation, which is considered water poisoning when it goes negative
-This should ensure newer players or roaming players who stumble across dirty water sources are not punished for something beyond their control
-Dirty water sources now smell brown, rather than blue, and looks muddy
-Water can now be smelt and will prompt the player about how clean it is. This same prompt is now displayed when you begin drinking from a water source
-Water Satiation behaves exactly as Food Satiation does, and is removed on the water tick in place of your water bar.
-You can drink from water bodies that provide you water satiation until your water satiation is full, even if full on water
+Permanent water bodies such as rivers never can provide water satiation, but they also never can get dirty
+Orys can now find cucumbers in their burrows, which give +1.5 water satiation when eaten
+Tough Stomach reduces the amount of water poisoning received, but does not improve water satiation gain
+Water Satiation can never go above 50
+Water Poisoning is shown as negative Water Satiation on the stats screen
+Adjusted water body size stats on Rival Shores and Ancestral Plains to better balance them for water satiation and dirtiness
+Added new Mobility Trial, Water Satiation, which behaves very similarly to the Food Satiation Trial. Krono, Mosa, and Elasmo do not have this Trial.
+Water source boringness / excitingness no longer resets when the player logs out. It takes 45 minutes for a water source to once again be new and exciting

------Added Skin Mutations------

+While mating, players may now encounter various mutations
Currently mutations are the following:
-Albino (This also has a chance to happen on just a couple skin parts and not all of them)
-Melanistic (This also has a chance to happen on just a couple skin parts and not all of them)
-Wildcard color mutation - can happen at any time on any layer
-Color Mutation - can happen at any time on any layer, drifts the color randomly around the hue ring (cannot exceed 1% of hue drift)
-Bioluminescent Mutation - This one is rare. A random skin layer becomes bioluminescent. This will affect stripes and similar patterns. This mutation has the same chance of happening on any skin.

------Upgraded Sky Sphere and Ocean------

+The new Sky Sphere has volumetric clouds and cloud shadows
+Warning: These are expensive. They can, however, be disabled via the Effects Quality graphical options.
-EQ low = no water caustics, no cloud shadows, 2D clouds
-EQ med = water caustics, cloud shadows, 2D clouds
-EQ high = water caustics, cloud shadows, volumetric clouds, exponential height fog
-EQ ultra = water caustics, cloud shadows, volumetric clouds viewable from above (performance), volumetric fog
-UQ cinematic = water caustics, cloud shadows, volumetric clouds viewable from above (quality), volumetric fog
+Enabled denser night fog on all playable maps
+The new Ocean has rolling, less chaotic waves
-It's also less prone to running up against the shore or poking through the map at further view distances
+Weather sound effects such as wind sounds, thunder sounds, and visual effects such as rain, fog, and lightning have been improved
+The weather now rolls between Sunny, Partly Cloudy, and Cloudy for the intervals that span between weather events such as Cloudy (now named Overcast), Foggy, Rain, and Dry Lightning
-There is a 50% chance of Sunny (little to no cloud cover), a 30% chance of partly cloudy (the 'default' cloud cover UDS had on the previous patch cook), and a 20% chance of cloudy (heavier but still partly-cloudy cloud cover)
+Added a Type argument to the setweather command. Accepts the name of the enum weather event types:
-Sunny, PartlyCloudy, Cloudy, Overcast, Rain, Fog, DryLightning (not case sensitive)

------Fish------

+Updated the 'Gamecube Fish' to use a nicer, Chinlea fish model
+Fish can now be picked up by double tapping and holding down the use key while in close proximity to the fish.
-Only piscivores (Ichthy, Tropeo, Ptera, and Elasmo) can pick up fish
-Fish behave as any other held "foliage" object, and can be dropped, eaten, or picked up again
-Herbivores cannot eat fish, even if dropped
-The Stoic talent reduces how much Weight fish apply when picked up
+You can now eat fish while darting

------New Player Requests UI------

+Updated all in-game requests to use a new, significantly nicer looking UI
-This includes group join requests, group invites, nesting requests, mating requests, and kicking from groups
+Added support for group votes on several request types
-This includes group votes to both allow players to join groups and group votes to kick players from groups
-To join a nest, if either parent rejects the request to join the nest, the player cannot join
+Added support for multiple requests to be outgoing at once, including group invites, mating invites, etc
+Several in-game prompts should now use the new requests widget system instead of the older one
-This includes prompts such as "You have received XX eggs!" and other similar typed prompts

------New Playerlist UI------

+Added new UI to replace the old player list UI (tab menu)
+Added tab to the player list that displys group members only
+Moved the Group Finder to the player list, under its own tab. It is no longer on the escape menu.
+On the Group tab, one can now see if somebody is your parent, mate, or offspring
+Mousing over steam avatars on the player list now makes them show in maximum size (184x184)

------General New Stuff------

+Added Baby and fat morph targets to Velociraptor
+Added New Rex Skin: Mottled by Tserra
+Added New Tropeo Skin: Spotted by Tserra & Natahi4
+Imported and set up new Tyrannosaurus sounds for vocal calls, bites, eat, drink, and sit/sleep transition animations
+Added Wildfire ichthy skin
+Added new language support: Bulgarian
+All Phoenix Tropeognathus event participants should have their shimmer skin rewarded.
-Selecting this skin is safe. It won't show up on public branch yet, but it won't cause problems if you use it on the public test.
+Added totally new Main Menu

------Growth Tick Changes------

+Balance (public): Max growth speed from comfort is now obtained at 67 comfort, to not punish players who may be further from their group and not receiving very strong "Near Friends" comfort buffs
+Balance (public): Growth ticks are now determined by Food, Water, Comfort, and Water Satiation.
-To obtain growth ticks equal to pre-patch maxed out food, water, and comfort ticks, the average of these must be 89% full, giving some leeway if one stat isn't excellent
+The intent of the above changes are to make it so the best strategy for fast growth is no longer idling in large groups. Players who are actively exploring the map and obtaining water sat should now grow more quickly than players who are idle

------Server Badges------

+Implemented the Community badges, currently located on the server row for each server that has a badge
-Servers that have been in long-term, good standing in our community will have badges that reflect as such
-These may not be added to all appropriate servers yet for the public test session.

------Scent Hint Prompts------

+Added scent hint prompts to several in-game objects that the player can interact with
-While using scent, carcasses will tell you how fresh the carcass is and will inform you whether or not it provides satiation
-Bodies of drinkable water will tell you how clean the water source is
-Burrow scents now inform you that the burrow was recently in use
-Eggs now show whether or not they are yours, and also inform you of the species of the egg if you have Egg Thief
-Several interactable foliage objects such as comfort flowers now state what they do
-Scent clouds from other creatures now tell you what species they belong to
-Fat plants now inform you that they are delicious and should be eaten, as a herbivore
-This functionality can be disabled through Gameplay Options, under Preferred Interaction Prompt Mode
+You can now smell your own eggs without requiring the Egg Thief talent

------Quality of Life Changes------

+Added the lens flare quality setting
+Added gamma correction setting in the graphics settings
+Skins now have a HEX display that can be used to get and set color values individually
+Toned down the teeth emissive significantly on Rex
+Adjusted Tyrannosaurus rex's head look angles while stationary, walking, and sprinting
+Adjusted Tyrannosaurus rex's pupils so they better make eye contact with the viewer
+The Unstuck button now starts a 600 second timer that teleports the player to a random, appropriate spawn point while they wait on the escape menu
+Added tooltip to Devastating Ambush's status condition
+Score on the player list now shows in thousands (K) or in millions (M), rather than showing the absolute number
+Game will now prompt the player if they happen to try to spawn a saved creature in an area that is potentially dangerous.

+Added status condition indicator icons that show whether or not you're in Tunneling or Attack stance as an ory
+Reduced Tyrannosaurus' sit and drink sounds down by 30%
+Ocean caustics should no longer slide along the seafloor while far away from the map origin

+Added new console command, MoveToRandomSpawnPoint, which allows moving a player to random, appropriate spawn
-It requires teleport admin permissions to use
+All admin commands should now prompt the client if they lack permissions to use the command rather than failing silently
+The admin command toggleplayernametags now requires UseObserver permissions
+Added new console command, DisbandAllGroups. Disbands all groups for all online players.
+Added a new console argument, bForceLongStorm, to forcestorm. When true, it's much more likely to generate a lengthy, intense weather event
+Added new server config variable, bDisableLocalChat, which allows servers to disable the blue, /l local chat
+Viewing of the server manager now requires admin permissions for CheckServerData or ModifyServerData. Deleting of creatures in the server manager requires ModifyServerDataPermission
+Added a new command: Reskin <player name or id> which allows an administrator to let a player replace or adjust their skin if needed.
+The admin observer camera can now use the megalosaurus ability
+The admin command 'ForceStorm' now has an input argument. It accepts overcast, fog, rain, or drylightning. If not provided, it defaults to rain
+Added a new console command, SpawnPlant, which spawns a glowing herbivore plant. It behaves similarly to SpawnCarcass
+The SetGender console command now has a player name / ID input argument, and no longer dirties the creature when used
-If the player name / ID argument is left empty, it will default to being used on oneself

------Optimizations------

+Significantly reduced the count and size of eaten foliage state packets the client receives when joining a server
-While loading eaten foliage state data, a throbber now appears on the screen
+Reworked hitbox code to lighten server loading
+Removed several UE4-native replicated properties from character class - big source of server CPU usage
+Moved several BoB-specific replicated properties out of character class - big source of server CPU usage
+Optimization (public): Disabled unused Kinematic bone stuff. Was using 3% or so of total CPU
+Minor Optimization (public): Removed some old code that was running an unused springarm server-side (0.6% total CPU usage)
+Optimization (public): Fixed issue where eaten, woody foliage was causing un-necessary frame drops, especially when lots of woody foliage was eaten
+Misc Minor Server Optimizations
-Disabled pupil tracking serverside
-Carcasses no longer tick on the server
-Disabled fish controller ticking on the server
+Optimized sending of player location data such that it's drastically less expensive on the network
+Implemented a major skin network optimization
+The cumulative sum of these optimizations should result in rather significant server-side performance improvements. We encourage servers to experiment with increasing their player slot counts.
