- Special clothes can be found in encounter, Ares and Glow lockers.

CHANGES (WIP):

• Weak Flame Breath (weapon of the Fire Gecko in the Gecko mine) made a little bit stronger.
• Increased Gold Nugget price in the Redding bank to 100 caps. Gold Nugget is no longer an unarmed weapon. All already existing nuggets become "Fool's Gold" items, which have the same qualities as before, except that they are much lighter and can't be sold in the Redding bank. Done -Marko
• Piles of Chemical Components have 3 batches with 2 Chemical Components each (so 6 Chemical Components instead of 2 can be taken from each pile). Added one more pile in Toxic Caves and Waterworks, increased regeneration time to 30 seconds. Scavenging Chemical Components should be about 2-3 times faster now, depending on how many scavengers are in the location.

• Smart Cursor - for the most common tasks, the default cursor will detect automatically if item hold in active hand slot can be used on object pointed by the cursor and use the item once the object is clicked. For example clicking a brahmin dung with the arrow cursor will clean it if you hold a shovel in hand (selecting "use on" mode is not necessary). Smart Cursor works with following tasks: collecting fibers, shoveling brahmin dung, chopping wood, mining, digging graves (to cover graves you still have to use "use on" mode with shovel). Done -Marko

• Added a new special encounter. Done -Marko

CHANGES (WIP):
