The World Event Migration system will, by default, spawn a world event players can choose to migrate to on the map every 2 hours. World Events provide a pair of two randomly-selected benefits to the player if they are in the world event area. They spawn at a randomly selected world event node. We have placed world event nodes on Isla Titania, Rival Shores, Forest Island, Ancestral Plains, DM_Caldera, and canvas maps. The majority of world event nodes are accessible to both aquatics and terrestrials.

When a world event spawns, it will begin a count-down until it actually begins providing the benefits. This count-down is, by default, 30 minutes. Once the countdown finishes, it will provide its benefits for 45 more minutes. After that, it will despawn. World events have large, golden banners that show up when you use scent. The banners have a count-down until the event starts, and a count-down for when the event is over. They also show what benefits the world event will provide.

There are eight world event benefit types currently implemented.
+Immune to Weather
-You are immune to the adverse effects of weather
-This includes lightning strikes, tornados, and discomfort associated with weather

+Slower Metabolism
-The rate at which your food and water deplete has been reduced by 33%

+Death's Blessing
-Upon death, you will automatically resurrect without any penalty to growth. This includes Life Cycle, Gauntlet growth creatures
-You will respawn at a randomly selected spawn point on the map when this creature is selected for play

+Bountiful Lands
-Increases AI spawner activity in the area, greatly accelerating spawn rate and max spawn count
-Dramatically increases rate at which foliage respawns when eaten

+Great Nesting Site
-Provides all buffs the Survival Deity Blessing provides. They do not, however, stack with the Survival

+Deity Blessing buffs
-Additionally, offspring will receive inherits as if the difference between your Good Parent talent and that of a creature with 5/3 invested has been halved

+Enhanced Growth
-Increases growth rate by 30%

+Favor of the Deities
-Provides a very powerful buff that corresponds with which deity you have pledged to
-With the power deity pledge active, you receive:
-45% more base damage. This does not increase injury or stamina damage.
-45% more bleed damge
-100% more intimidation
-50% further fall distance

-With the speed deity pledge active, you receive:
-25% boost to jump power
-35% boost to walking, sprinting, swimming, and flying movement speed
-20% boost to turn rate
-35% reduced injury damage taken
-35% reduced stamina damage taken
-Deal damage as if you have 3 additional points in Exhausting Bite

-With the survival deity pledge active, you receive:
-65% increased health. Note this also reduces incoming injury damage by 39%
-50% reduced bleed damage taken
-65% increased healing rate. This includes bleed, injury, and venom healing
-45% more injury damage

+Unlocked Skin Editing
-You can edit your skin at any time while in the event area

+Additionally, inside any world event, you receive the equivalent of the Power Deity Blessing, meaning when you die, 75% of the resurrection cost to resurrect the creature will automatically be met
-If you have the Power Deity Blessing as well, 100% of the cost to resurrect will be met, making resurrection free and incur no growth penalty on Free Roam. On Life Cycle, your resurrected growth will be the minimum value of your current growth and 1.32.
+While in a world event area, water can also not be further dirtied

World Events have several server config variables that allow server owners to control how these behave on their server. They go in the ServerGameInstance section. They are:

bSpawnWorldEvents
-If true, world events spawn on the server.

WorldEventPrepTime
-Defaults to 30 minutes. How long it takes for the world event to activate and provide its benefits, once it spawns.

WorldEventDuration
-Defaults to 45 minutes. How long the world event provides its benefits for.

WorldEventSpacing
-Defaults to 120 minutes. Time between each world event spawn.

WorldEventBuffsToNotUse
-Populate this array to disable spawning of certain event benefits on the server. If a benefit is disabled, world events will never choose to use this benefit and will choose others randomly instead.

Example:
!WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=ClearArray
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_WeatherImmunity
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_LowFoodWaterDrain
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_AutoResurrection
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_AISwarm
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_Nesting
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_GrowthBuff
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_PledgeAmplify
WorldEventBuffsToNotUse=EVENT_Reskin

World events can be spawned with the console as well, running the command SpawnWorldEventAt. You can provide the location, the benefits it provides, the radius, the prep time, and the duration. The event will handle itself and do everything else on its own. These world events are totally independent from the naturally spawned ones the game will generate on its own, and will not interfere with natural world event spawning. Multiple world events can cover the same area if you spawn two or more that overlap.

+The console command SpawnWorldEventAt has two input arguments for what world event buffs it will spawn. It expects a number from 1 to 8.

+Here is a list of all world events and their corresponding numbers:
1: EVENT_WeatherImmunity
2: EVENT_LowFoodWaterDrain
3: EVENT_AutoResurrection
4: EVENT_AISwarm
5: EVENT_Nesting
6: EVENT_GrowthBuff
7: EVENT_PledgeAmplify
8: EVENT_Reskin
+There is also a command, DestroyAllWorldEvents, which removes all events.

We designed this system to give players an optional, additional, occasional goal they can seek out on the map while playing and we hope it'll add to the gameplay experience!

+World Events now grant an "Event Pending" status condition while inside the event radius if the event is still counting down
+Two world events cannot spawn naturally at the same location
+World Events cannot spawn at the same world event location twice in a row
+World Events send green chat messages to global chat when they first spawn on the map, when they first begin providing buffs, when they despawn, and every 15 minutes leading up to the event. They state what buffs will be present at the event.
+When you exit a world event, the benefits fade out over 10 seconds and you receive a screen message informing you that you've left the event area
+When a world event despawns, the benefits from the world event now fade out over 30 seconds and you receive a screen message informing you that the event has despawned
+Events with a weather immunity buff also trigger a rainstorm when they start, so long as it's not already raining
+Added World Event Node to the foliage placement tool. The default event radius is 10000 UE units, and is further multiplied by the object scale. If a node exists, it may be selected by the world event system to naturally spawn events on its own and will be added to the regular map world event nodes. These save and load properly when the server restarts.
+The Favor of the Deities world event benefit now always pairs with the Death's Blessing benefit if it is selected as the first benefit and Death's Blessing is a valid benefit for selection (not blocked by server config). This means Favor of the Deities and Death's Blessing will frequently pair up during world events, but not always.
+World events provide immunity to necrophobia

Notes on the world event webhooks:
-They work the same as other webhooks.
-bUseEventsWebhook is the config variable to enable or disable them
-EventsDiscordWebhook is the config variable on which the webhook link should be placed
-EventsDiscordIconURL is the config variable on which a link to an image can be put (optional)

Example:
bUseEventsWebhook=True
EventsDiscordWebhook="123456/examplekey_dwdhwaowdawbdwaowdcic11938374-ce"
EventsDiscordIconURL=""

+All deity shrines now have two additional options the player can do while interacting with the shrine. These are Receive Blessing and Take Trinket.
+Blessings offer a way for players to voluntarily ramp up the difficulty of the game to receive various benefits for a period of time. These benefits have been deliberately designed to not influence combat-related stats or gameplay balance.
+Blessings are removed upon death and cannot be removed by the player in any other way. They must run their course.
+You can have multiple blessings at once. Their effects stack.
+Blessings can be received at shrines on all maps and in both the Free Roam and Life Cycle game modes
+You can refresh a blessing and restart its timer by revisiting a corresponding deity shrine and receiving the blessing again.
+Blessings last 30 minutes.
+You must take a trinket from another shrine and carry it to a shrine to receive a blessing from the shrine
-The Take Trinket option can be found by interacting with a shrine through the use key. The trinket will appear in your mouth and is interactable like any other carryable object

The Survival Deity grants a blessing that does:
-Reduces comfort drop associated with incubating eggs by 50%
-Reduces the movement penalty associated with incubating eggs by 100%
-Grants increased gestation speed by 75%
-Increases chance of passing on exclusive skins or granting bio layers on eggs. Both parents stack.
-Buffs Incubated buff by an additional 25%
-Your eggs cannot be damaged from damage received during combat
-Nests are 50% cheaper to create
-Each parent reduces the chance of eggs having a negative inherit by 50%. If both parents are blessed, the chance becomes zero.
-Increases food and water drain by 40%

The Speed Deity grants a blessing that does:
-Increases growth speed by 50%
-Increases food and water drain by 75%

The Power Deity grants a blessing that does:
-If you die, 75% of your resurrection cost is already met by the blessing
-Increases food and water drain by 40%

+Mechanics: After being resurrected, creatures now drop empty carcasses until they eat and drink food. The fullness of the dropped carcass cannot exceed the value of the food they have eaten since being resurrected to prevent farming food with the new power deity blessing.
+Mechanics: Life Cycle (Titania) and Life Cycle (old BoB maps) has been split into two game modes. These game modes are Life Cycle and Free Roam
-The old, unused Free Roam game mode has been replaced by this updated version of Free Roam, which constitutes all of the current, old BoB map growth mechanics
-Servers that wish to use old BoB growth and mechanics on Isla Titania can do so by switching the game mode to Free Roam on their Isla Titania server
-Conversely, all servers who wish to run the current Titania / Gauntlet gameplay can do so on older maps by setting their server's game mode to Life Cycle
-All mechanics labeled as Titania-specific or for new BoB maps only in our previous update are now specific to Life Cycle
+Mechanics: Titania can now be run on Free Roam (old BoB growth / gameplay) or Life Cycle (Titania / Gauntlet gameplay)
-Rival Shores, Ancestral Plains, Forest Island, and other maps can also run either Life Cycle or Free Roam

+Fixed: Issue where some bio dinos have their bio appearing only when wet

Titania is Beast of Bermuda's newest open-world map.
+Currently only Section 1 is accessible and will be enclosed inside a walled space. The playable space in Section 1 is just under half of Titania.
-Attempting to go outside the wall (with cheats) will eject the player back to the Character Select Menu and kill the offending creature.
-New sections of Titania will become accessible in future updates.

+Sniff to investigate! Titania Plants and other objects have been given helpful hints to guide players, and warn them.
+Several fruit species have been added to Titania: Banana, Papaya, Mango, Pineapple, Coconut, and Blackberries.
-Fruits have satiation buffs and give good food. Some also give water. They are heavier than other plants.
+Several Poisonous species have been added to Titania.
-Each biome will have at least one poisonous species. Sniffing suspicious plants can help you identify them.
-Poisonous plants give negative bias of various severities based on the species.
-All creatures can eat the poisonous plants.
+Added inland Salt Rocks to Titania. These are large rocks with a salt dusting, which creatures can lick to fulfill their diet requirements, same as with beach salt. Inland Salt Rocks are more rare.
+New flower: Pink Cordyline. Offers a helpful prompt when sniffed and glows in the dark.
+Not all foliage on Titania may be eaten to maintain the biome's aesthetic, and offer hiding places for dinosaurs. This includes:
-Ferns, the largest jungle trees, tall grasses, large bushes, specially made obstacles, temporary shelters, and miscellaneous debris.
+Added Under-and-Over Obstacles, scattered evenly around Titania, to help dinosaurs out-maneuver their pursuers.
+Added Temporary Shelters, scattered evenly around Titania. They are a type of rock lean-to that offer various degrees of shelter depending on the size of creatures, and are intended to be emergency places to hide in a storm.

+Mini shrines have been scattered across Titania. You can only pledge to these shrines, and they do not count towards the Shrines Visited Trial

+Biomes have various color filters
+Added named biomes and watersources to discover
+Lore and secrets can be found on the map using clues in the environment
+Titania has a new night filter to make it easier to see in the dark while remaining cinematic and immersive
+Titania will not initially be compatible with the Foliage Placement Tool
+Save data from older maps will not be initially transferable to Titania. Titania save data can be transferred to older maps. This is a temporary change to allow development clear "beginning-to-end" feedback for the initial map launch. Please give us your feedback on the map thus far!


+We have made significant changes to how Beasts of Bermuda’s gameplay loop works, specifically on Isla Titania, as it is being redesigned to offer an experience that continuously remains fresh, enjoyable to play, and accessible to all players. To accomplish this, we have made several changes to the game that are Titania-specific, meaning Rival Shores, Ancestral Plains, and other older bob maps will not have these changes and mechanics present.

+Adjusted growth rates beyond 1.2 growth such that they do not slow down abruptly at 1.2+ growth
-It now takes substantially less time to grow to sizes beyond 1.2, and large growth is now designed to be achievable in a matter of hours or, perhaps, a weekend, provided you survive
-This means big growths (2.0, 3.0+) can be achieved in a matter of hours to a few days, providing more intense, exciting gameplay
+Adjusted food and water requirements of creatures as they grow beyond 1.2 such that they offer a significantly more rigorous survival challenge
-Increased survival challenges will push your resource knowledge and collection, promoting healthy ecosystem competition

+Below growth 1.32, you can now pause your growth by unchecking a checkbox present beside your growth on the character UI
-While you've toggled off growth, you cannot provide a baby buff
-Pausing growth allows players to enjoy a more relaxed experience or play various stages of growth for an indefinite period of time if they wish to do so
-To re-enable growth, you need to check the checkbox on the Character UI
+At 1.32 growth, growth now automatically pauses. The player is informed of this through an in-game message
-Re-enabling growth will prompt you with a warning explaining that unpausing will opt you into running The Gauntlet
-While running The Gauntlet, you will be unable to pause your growth, and you will continue to grow bigger and bigger
-You can opt to reset growth back to 1.0 at any time through the Save Select screen. Doing so will not kill your creature. Additionally, if at or above 2.0 growth, you will receive a talent point reset
-When you die or reset your growth back to 1.0, you will have your max growth registered on the server's newly added leaderboard.
-When you die or reset your growth back to 1.0, you will receive a badge on your creature's profile that shows how far you got. If you already have a badge, you can try to beat your record by progressing further than you got before. You can also see a collection of all your badges by clicking on the badge.

+Dying or resetting growth while running The Gauntlet will award you a growth badge
+Your biggest growth badge will be displayed by the character in the Save Selection screen.
+Additionally, you can see all of your growth badges by clicking the displayed badge, which opens a gallery page. You can earn an infinite amount of these growth badges, and they continue to accumulate through repeated runs of The Gauntlet on a creature.
-You can earn the same growth badge more than once
+Growth badges award experience, which can be seen in the badge gallery page
+Experience currently just grants bragging rights, but it’s possible we may use it for unlocking cosmetics, rewards, and other things on a per-creature basis in the future.

+The Leaderboard is a new server feature added to Titania's Life Cycle game mode. The leaderboard displays the server's highest-achieved runs of The Gauntlet on a per-species basis. It can be viewed either in monthly mode or viewed in all-time mode. It defaults to showing monthly mode.
-In order to place on the leaderboard, you must either die or reset your growth while engaged in The Gauntlet, which begins when you start growing beyond 1.32 growth. This means you will not appear on the leaderboard until you have finally achieved your maximum growth score.
-By default, the leaderboard shows the top 10 scores on a per-creature basis, but you can scroll down to view additional places. It keeps track of all scores, so you can scroll down through the entire server's playerbase if you wish to do so.
+At the end of each month, the leaderboard will empty its monthly section automatically, wiping the slate clean for new competitors! The all-time section will forever hold everyone's highest growth scores
+Each player occupies one spot on the leaderboard for each species. If you beat your highest gauntlet run on a species, it will update to show your newly achieved highest score rather than your old one
-You can beat your score for that species by re-running The Gauntlet on the same creature you ran it before with or by doing so with another of the same species. If you do so, it will update your highest score on the leaderboard with your newly-achieved score.
+When the leaderboard opens, it will default to showing the highest-scoring players from the species you are playing on. You can, however, view any species you wish.
+The leaderboard will show your current, highest growth score for the creature you are playing and will also show its associated rank on the servers leaderboard.
-You can click your current rank to have the leaderboard scroll down to your current placement, allowing you easily see the specific rankings of the players around your score
+The leaderboard has a personal tab that will display your personal, top three growth scores on a per-species basis. It also records the date at which you achieved that score.
-These scores are kept on a per-server basis. Joining another server will show you the scores you achieved on that specific server.
-The personal tab also has both a monthly and an all-time section
+The leaderboard is only accessable on Titania, and it is only accessable while running the Life Cycle game mode.

+Added new status conditions, Sickness_Generic and Sickness_Recovering
+The status conditions Food Poisoning, Water Poisoning, Restlessness, or any dietary eficiency can now cause you to fall into a state of sickness
+While drinking from dirty water, you have a chance to get sick
-Tough Stomach lowers the risk of getting sick from dirty water
-You cannot get sick from a water source for the first second of drinking from it unless you're repeatedly drinking from the same source of water
+While eating from rancid carcasses, you now have a chance per eat tick to catch Sickness
-Scavenger lowers the risk of getting sick from rancid meat
+Eating plants that give negative comfort bias now has a chance of giving you Sickness

-You cannot get sick from eating plants that give a minor amount of negative bias (less than 1.2 bias)
-You now play a pain grunt when you eat a plant or foliage element that has a chance of getting you sick
+Sickness is designed to be a deadly consequence for these conditions, and it can take a very heavy toll on your survival chances
+Being larger growth makes you significantly more likely to get sick from all of the above sources of sickness. When larger growth, sickness also lasts significantly longer
-You cannot get sick below 1.2 growth
+Added a "Sick" sniff sound modifier. It plays if you use scent while sick
+Added charcoal as a new food type
-When charcoal is eaten, it makes the state of Sickness_Generic go away more quickly
-Charcoal spawns both randomly on the map and from forest fires
+Sickness effects include:
-Health, stamina, and ability regeneration is very significantly reduced
-You cannot mate while sick
-Food and water drain rates are significantly increased
-Other players can sniff you and see that you are sick
-Sickness_Generic always applies a more significant debuff to the above-mentioned stats than Sickness_Recovery
+Sickness_Generic always comes first, followed by Sickness_Recovering immediately after.
+Sickness_Generic can be sped up by consuming charcoal (or charcoral, in the Ocean).
+Sickness_Recovering will go away faster if you lie down to rest.

+The default day length is now 80 minutes, rather than 117.5 minutes
-Day lasts 50 minutes (62.4% of the time) and night lasts 30 minutes (37.6% of the time)
+Added Resting as a new status condition
-Resting is designed to give the players a cyclic, dependable time window where the food and water challenges of the game abate for a period of time
-Resting is applied at sunset and removed at sunrise
-Resting reduces food and water drain rates. The effects are more pronounced at larger growths
-Resting cannot last for longer than 0.45xDayLength, or, if the day length is 80 minutes, 36 minutes
+Added Resting_Cooldown as a new status condition

-Sounds better spatialize left/right ear, which can be used to pin-point a creature's location.

-Sound underwater travels further
-Sound from underwater heard from out of water is muffled and won't be audible as far as on land

+Being high up from the ground as a flyer makes your voice propagate further on the map, but does not make it louder.
+You can control the volume of all these sounds in the settings. They belong in the Game category in the audio settings.

+Thunder now accounts for being inside caves and underwater depth
+The further you are from the lightning, the longer it will take for the thunder sound to "travel" to you
