Additionally, here are the notes for some additional changes that were included in the last few alpha and beta patches.
- Our official, community-mananged wiki has a new home: https://wiki.cavesofqud.com. We updated the link in the Modding Utilities.

- You can no longer manipulate the results of cooking with nectar by using Precognition.

- Psionic weapons no longer affect inanimate objects.
- Night-vision goggles are now overloadable.
- Creatures are now a little better at escaping environmental damage.
- Creatures no longer use Force Bubble if an ally is adjacent. This prevents rare Force Bubble + Temporal Fugue crashes.
- Nulling weapons now apply astral burdening for a short time after they hit, rather than only instantaneously as they hit.
- Looking at objects in force fields and stasis fields now gives info on the object instead of the field.
- Rephrased messages about additional body parts needed to equip items in more abstract, inclusive terms.
- Slightly decreased the traversal speed of most projectiles.
- A visible rhinox getting ready to charge now interrupts autoact.
- Temporal fugue clones are now placed a little more intelligently with respect to natural movement modes (e.g., aquatic creature clones will prefer spawning in swim-depth water).
- Fixed a bug that caused autoexplore to dig around boulders and rubble instead of through them.
- Fixed a bug that caused Temporal Fugue clones to always spawn northwest of you.
- Fixed a bug that caused jewelers to occasionally have double-jewel-encrusted items.
- Fixed a bug that caused you to occasionally get stuck inside walls when using Space-Time Vortex.

- [modding] Added some new predicates to conversations: IfTrueKin, IfNotTrueKin, IfGenotype, IfNotGenotype, IfSubtype, and IfNotSubtype.
