• The Barathrumites are still remodeling. Continue staying tuned.
• Added new item: blood-gradient hand vacuum.
• We refreshed how turrets work.
  • Turrets now require ammo to fire. You can supply a friendly turret with ammo when you deploy it, via its interaction menu, or via smart use.
  • Turrets must now reload their weapons.
  • Turrets now have power switches. You can only access them if you have sufficient security clearance.
  • You can now find dynamic turrets -- turrets created from arbitrary missile weapons -- in the wild.
  • Added the following new creatures: low-light laser turret tinker, eigenturret tinker, blast cannon tinker, phase cannon tinker, and dynamic turret tinker.
  • Added two new supporting items: storage tank and gourd.
  • Added a new item mod, jacked, which allows gear to be powered by robots (particularly turrets) who wield it via their onboard systems or from grid power they have access to.
  • Traipsing mortars now use ammo and can scavenge to fabricate it.
  • Seed-spitting vines, thirst thistles, slugsnouts, and agolflies now generate ammo through biological mechanisms rather than not use ammo.
• Slugsnouts now have tusks.
• Agolflies now have mandibles.
• Added a new tile for troll foals.
• Base troll creatures no longer appear outside of Bethesda Susa.
• In most cases smart use now prefers to pet creatures, if possible, rather than talk to them.
• Dart guns and booster guns now use the Pistol skill rather than Heavy Weapons.
• Grenade launchers now have the correct weight of 15 pounds.
• Fleeing creatures now prefer to flee into tiles that have fewer adjacent enemies, unless they are panic-fleeing due to a fear effect.
• Aquatic creatures no longer pathfind or flee into tiles containing liquid containers or puddles too small to swim in. This also applies to player auto-movement while dominating an aquatic creature.
• Leering stalkers, chrome pyramids, traipsing mortars, and boosterbots no longer drop their ranged weapons upon death (once again).
• Repairing items via the trade screen now correctly charges the listed water cost.
• Norm cores now have a power switch that can be accessed if you have sufficient security clearance. They occasionally start in the off state.
• Liquids that fizz away when using the pour command now exhibit the same behavior when using the collect command.
• HP restored by life drain is now treated as healing and includes messaging and floating text.
• Fixed a bug that broke night-vision implants when they were reimplanted after the game had been saved and restored.
• Fixed a bug that caused phase-conjugate grenades to not shift phase after the game had been saved and restored.
• Fixed a bug that caused dismembered limbs and equipment to not appear on the ground if the dismembering attack killed the target.
• Fixed a bug that allowed the player to accumulate multiple beguiled or proselytized companions by leaving them in far-away zones and later returning to them.
• Fixed a number of bugs involving stat modifiers from effects becoming permanent on your clones.
