BALANCE

  • The gland paste and concentrated gland paste of nullbeards, gallbeards, dreambeards, stunbeards, and maze beards no longer offer any defensive bonuses.
• Made a small adjustment to the creature tier calculation.
  

POPULATION REFACTOR

• We're in the process of refactoring our systems for populating maps and creature inventories. Creature and equipment distributions may have changed somewhat (but not drastically).
  
• Humanoid creatures, particularly snapjaws and goatfolk, now rarely spawn with a wider range of equipment.
  
• Snapjaw scavengers now occasionally spawn without equipment.
  

MODDING

• We're in the process of retiring encounter tables in favor of population tables. This may affect mods.
  
• Creatures that were previously equipped via encounter table equipment builders are now implemented as multiple creature objects with the AggregateWith tag (ex: Snapjaw Scavenger).
