• Redesigned character card.
  
• Added a character morality system. The morale indicator is displayed in the character card in a blue square. Various factors such as hunger or injury affect the character's morale.
  
• New item: Bullet. A new type of ammunition used by characters when shooting firearms.
  
• Added bandolier for characters. Each game character has a bandolier with a capacity of 12 pieces, for storing bullets. The bandolier is automatically replenished when the player enters the local map or after boarding, if there are bullets in the player's inventory. The bandolier can also be replenished or emptied by clicking on its icon.
  
• During boarding, an attacking character with a firearm spends a bullet from the bandolier.
  
• All crawlers and cannon turrets have added embrasures for shooting firearms at enemies. Each shot spends a bullet from the crawler/tower inventory.
  
• Added display of crew roles. At the moment there are 3 crew roles: captain, cannoneer and shooter. Roles are automatically distributed among the crew depending on the importance of the role – first of all, the captain is appointed, then the cannoneer and only then the shooters.
  The captain is responsible for the ability to control the crawler. The captain is any character who occupies the first place in the crew list.
  Any character becomes a cannoneer, if there are turrets on the crawler / tower. Each turret requires two cannoneers to be able to fire.
  Shooters are any characters who have firearms in their hands with a sufficient number of embrasures at the crawler. One shooter occupies one embrasure, starting from the left side of the crawler.
  
• Added the display of money amount and bullets in the player's inventory.
  
• Added a new random structure on locations – "Large carcass". It is a large destroyed crawler with enemies and containing random loot.
  
• Added backup saving of the game, which occurs every ½ of the game day. The save is placed in the folder "\AppData\Roaming\Scraplers\Saves\Reserve saves" and, if necessary, can be moved to the Saves folder for later download.
  
• Added the sound of receiving message in the dialog box.
  
• Some factions have a requirement for the presence of an item in the player's inventory to join the faction.
  
• The "Pirates" faction is divided into two friendly with each other pirate factions: "Rusty" and "Rippers".
  
• "Presbyters of War" are separated into a faction.
  
• "Sewer goblitrops" are separated into a fraction.
  
• "Cyberdemons" are separated into a faction.
  
• Added a new faction – "Redocolor".
  
• The process of saving the game is now displayed in the upper right corner of the screen in the form of a small floppy disk icon.
  
• The construction camp at the player's location is no longer a static decoration, but is randomly generated.
  
• Added a new playable race – Rasklor.
  
• Added a new location for the player to build – Stash.
  
• Added a new location for the player to build – Depot. New premises for construction at the depot have been added: depot barracks, depot warehouse, depot workshop.
  
• Added a menu for selecting location to build.
  
• Changed the mechanism of robbing player locations. Loot looting does not occur until the combat capability of the location drops to zero, that is, while there are defensive turrets or a garrison on the base. The greater the combat capability of the location, the less chance the attackers have to damage the location. Also, each type of location has its own visibility parameter for the enemy, so, for example, the "Block-post" location will be attacked more often than the "Stash" location.
  
• Added a new special mercenary - the T-02 Iron Tank.
  
• Added a new rare armor set: Iron Tank Helmet, Iron Tank Hydraulic Armor, Iron Tank Hydraulic Legs.
  
• Slightly redesigned the appearance of hydraulic suits in the game.
  
• Added skin colors for all races in the game. Also added a choice of skin color to player character during the initial setup.
  
• Locations belonging to the player are now displayed in blue on the global map.
  
• Added new items: Red Hat 1, Red Coat 2, Armored Red Coat 2, Red Hydraulic Armor 2, Helm 6.
  
• Made other minor improvements and bug fixes.

Let me remind you that saving the old version will not work in Alpha 5.0, but it is possible to install and play the older version.
To do this, right-click in the game library on Steam on Scraplers, go to Properties - BETA VERSIONS tab and select the desired version.

Welcome back wretched. :]

There's been some changes to the Castle Conquest game mode to spice it up a bit. When choosing a route each path now has a special event. There's a variety of events, such as a Roaming Traveller appearing, extra Custodian Errants or a Champion appearing, an extra bonus to Bones/Score, or a Trapsmithy allowing you to customise that map's contraptions. Stage 11 will always have a Trapsmithy to prep for those pesky Golden Order. And if you don't fancy either path then once per stage you can now re-roll the entire route at the expense of a Soul meta.

A new map has been added called the Rainswept Ruin. In these rainy wilds you'll need to deal with the spawning slimes and lightning storms as well as the usual meanies. There's the usual Necrotic Skirmishes score based achievement too.

A new ultimate minion has been added called the Brodacious Brozilla which you can raise by combining any 3 Big Bros and a Hero Soul. This apex Bro minion periodically infuses the essences of Bros, each colour representing a different Bro. While in this state they gain a variety of boosts and bonuses. For example the Boo essence boosts his contant damage as well as temporarily summons Big Boos and Spell Haunts. For the Chesty essence all enemies drop a Gold Coin upon death, and all Gem pickups become embiggened. While a Fruity essence regenerates your Health and Occult Health, and makes you completely invincible. There's an achievement for raising him called 'Ultimate Bro Lifeform'.

A new skelly minion has also been added called the Unholy Monk who emits an aura of varying effects. Initially it's a protective aura for you, reducing damage you suffer by -20%, and at level 3 the aura will reduce the Bless level of any enemy that touches it by -1. In his deamon form all Deamon minions that touch the aura boost their attack speed and he periodically summons a random Deamon which may even be a Diablos.

A new Heroic Force has been added called Restless Realms. When unlocked the odd spooky Restless Monument may emerge which can be activated at the expense of a Soul meta. Activating it will spawn extra meanies for a short time for if you fancy a bit more of a challenge.

A couple of new class meta...
- Deprived Wretch - Chesty Friendos: Boosts chance of being offered Chesty Bro minions and boosts their max cap by +3.
- Psycho Possessed - Soulen Spirit: You get a free Boo Bro minion when picking up a Hero Soul.

And a few new relics and spells.
- Added 2 new relics (Meldonic Sigil, Mother's Milk).
- Added 4 new spells (Sacrilegious Summonings, Unholy Tidings, Restless Rising, Unholy Prayers).

Other misc stuff...
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- Added an achievement called 'Neighbourly Boners' for having scores in both the Daily/Weekly Boneworld Challenges at the same time.
- Mega Meldsumassous minion: The way this is offered is now consistent behaving more like a Diablos offerings (previously there was a chance you wouldn't be offered it, would show in a random slot, and could be overwritten by Deamon/Diablos offerings).
- Blessed Enemies now boost their Score when killed by +10% or +20% if Super Blessed.
- Blight status effect: Some of the damage it inflicts is now based on how much Health the enemy has (so inflicts significantly more damage on high Health enemies).
- When gaining Occult Health, the reduction gained when you have a lot of it already has been removed (previously the more Occult Health you had the less you would get).
- The extra reduction in Occult Health regen when fighting the King/Queen has been reduced (so it looks less like a bug).
- Deamonic Sigil relic: The Deamon attack speed bonus has been increased from +5% to +11%. It's max cap has been reduced from 5 to 3.
- Horoscope Charm relics: The Blacksmith Lackey will no longer sell this at the start of the run.
- Blessed Tidings spell: This now doesn't Bless enemies instantly, instead the spell does it over time (the duration of the spell based on its cast power level). It can now also bless Beast enemies, as well as enemies of any Health, and ignores the game mode base Super Blessed restriction (eg previously Super Blessed couldn't appear at all in Mausoleum Awakens until NGF1).
- Deamonic Jester minion: Added a softcap to his chance of transforming an enemy into a Relic based on how many Relics you currently have (just so you don't run out of relics). The soft cap leads to a hard cap of 66 Relics.
- Sacrilegious Altar contraption: This now has a 33% chance of summoning a Diablos (though he despawns a bit more quickly).
- Fungal Growth contraption: Increased how long enemies who run through it suffer from Blight.
- Custodian Errants enemy: These can now be Blessed (previously they could only be Blessed in the Castle Conquest mode after stage 9).
- Heavenly Vessels enemy: These now have a chance of ignoring the game mode base Super Blessed restriction (eg previously Super Blessed couldn't appear at all in Mausoleum Awakens until NGF1).

And bug fixes...
- When starting Fullscreen if you had a second monitor to the right of the primary monitor it could fullscreen on that instead of the primary (depending on your resolution).
- Creative Mode: The 'Excavator Squad' and 'Barrow Boner-raise' class meta weren't working in this game mode.
- Barrow Bonebolster spell: Casting the spell at a power level greater than 1 but only with 1 Boner could cause some issues.
- Elven Wayfinder boss: He could run into problems when jumping into some terrain (eg Bastion gate).
- Queen Gigalicious boss: Health regen didn't have the same reduction as when fighting the King.
- Status Screen: The relic "Page" text was saying "play".
- Sprout Escapade achievement: It's description was wrongly referring Big Bros as 'Giant Bros'.
- Fixed some spelling/grammar errors.
