Changelog 14/02/13
FIXES: Fixed graphics of flint item. Flamethrower no longer has decreased spread when targeting adjacent critters. Tesla Armor now has the same critical modifiers as Metal Armor Mark II. Followers attacking a flagged player are no longer limiting the amount of guards responding to hostile actions undertaken by that player. Taking a drug (when addicted to it) in a stage between bonus stat drop and addiction penalty no longer causes the addiction penalty to become active a few seconds later. Followers waiting inside a tent/base and then told to follow without using a proper dialog option are no longer disappearing. Large improvement in stability (as should be seen since the previous update) and some reduction of lags. FEATURES: Added Combat Zones and Idlers system (see Combat Zones and Idlers below). Tent system rework (see New Tent System below). Done -Marko Added predators - wild creatures finding players in real time encounters (see Predators below). Added two new special encounters, it should be easier to find them than the old ones. Done -Marko New quest: A Tent in the Wasteland. You need to be at least at level 2 to receive it. Done -Marko CHANGES (WIP): Idling on the World Map is not safe anymore (see Unsafe World Map below). Done -Marko Real time encounters aren't closed after 10 minutes anymore. For already existing encounters, you have time to move your cars to safe places until next update. To make crafting more flexible, now different items can be used as the same ingredient in crafting machines. For example, both water bags and bottles of water can be used to craft beer. In the future ingredients going to be a part of the Fix-boy recipes. Modoc and Klamath/Den replication points moved away a bit from these towns. Using science skill on ten brahmin hides doesn't create a tent anymore. Done -Marko Significant buff of item spawning in Glow. Reduced reputation penalty for grave digging. Added/changed a few formations in which encounter NPCs spawn. RECOMMENDATIONS: Move parked cars out of real-time encounters. EXTRA NOTES: Run the updater to obtain the new files.

Changelog 26/01/13
FIXES: Fixed guarded town exploit with followers "unintentionally" bursting players. Fixed construction site exploit allowing to save the resources used to build a new base. Extended Capacitor Battery, Plasma Pistol (Ext. Cap.) and Laser Rifle (Ext. Cap.) can be crafted with Energy Expert 2 profession. Done -Marko Changing default combat mode, by using ~combatmode command, does not require relogging. Fixed a bug which could kick a player out to the global map from the Old Warehouse special encounter. Fixed skipping turns for offline characters with Bonus Move perk. Throwing animation for plasma grenades. Fixed several small map bugs. FEATURES: Implemented grave digging: Done -- Ganado There is a chance for items lost/left in encounters to re-appear in closed graves after some time.

Old shovel breaks after one dug up grave. Crafted shovels don't break (the recipe for shovel was slightly changed). CHANGES (WIP): Slightly lowered knockback distance per damage ratio for shotguns. Radios can be disassembled (use the hand icon to change radio options). Done -- Ronillon (talk) 03:22, 31 January 2013 (CET) Changed and added item spawners in Glow. Ares mutants respawn time set to 30 minutes (it was 10 minutes). Done -- Ronillon (talk) 03:22, 31 January 2013 (CET) Minor interface changes. EXTRA NOTES: Run the updater to obtain the new files.
