Latest revision as of 12:44, 2 October 2024


Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Fixed an issue where the smell command wouldn't show Ixchel Jaguar's scent when it should."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Inflatable Latex Sex Toy and ball filling now work even if the one who got filled has Firing Blanks."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Inflatable Latex Sex Toy's mechanic now actually works."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "note: If you have the ded active ( or the ded + ded item ), any time you get fucked, you'll store said load for that person, up to a max of 10 per person. Only way currently to reduce your storage is by trying to knock someone else up. Newer loads from someone will overwrite older ones, mutation-wise."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "The Fertile perk was applying twice when trying to be knocked up ( Ie, if the would-be mother has it, it was giving +40% instead of +20% ). Oops. Fixed now. It did, and still does, apply +20% when the would-be father has it, that is unchanged."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Minimally Fertile and Reduced fertility RPinfo now actually states by what amount they reduce your fertility, including their interplay."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Nanolist now uses the default function for maximum nanomagics to determine if you can master more base nanomagics; not just to list what your maximum is. ( there was a bug where having a cyber leaf doesn't update the colours in the list, but does show the correct number at the bottom of the list )"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "( this was a purely visual bug )"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Found some issues with the newer version of nanolister. I've reverted us back to the old one written way back when, pending fixes. Colours and indicators are a little different."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Intelligent Plans will no longer hurt your allies. That wasn't very intelligent."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Fixed an issue with Birth Control where it wouldn't properly clear a pregnancy if you had additional eggs from Ostara."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Birth control has not been working properly for a long time. ( essentially being the same as extra strength birth control ). It is now once more functioning properly. ( Extra Strength makes you infertile for 7 days. Regular for 3.5. Perks and ixchel apply as usual ( meaning taking regular while pregnant aborts the pregnancy and leaves you fertile again. It will not make you fertile if not pregnant, however. That'd be silly. ) )."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Fixed an issue where the game wouldn't check the oviparous flag on the mother's mutations under certain conditions."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Fixed the function that determines how many kids you have. This should prevent crashes."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "*when giving birth"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "the Monotreme Activator works again. My bad."

Nuku smoothly says, "damageimmunity status obeys its cap properly."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Rejoice. The skunks have opened the door to their Printing Press. For a nominal fee, you can buy some books ( precious item ) off of them. No more bargaining with Zephyr for all the printers they're hoarding."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "*Their Bookbinding Workshop"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "The pdaily command can now be used with the restart functionality; this means you can change the salvage mission your party members are on in case you make a mistake ( like accidentally typing Bone Yard instead of Bone Yard 2 )"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Pregnancies should now actually show their progress properly, instead of in reverse. No more shrinking babies."

Nuku smoothly says, "Pregnant status should now ignore remort status."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Moderate Pregnancy Simulator now properly shows you in the second trimester ( as intended ), rather than the third. That's the Heavy Pregnancy Simulator. ( If this change affects you negatively, just toss up a request and we'll swap your Moderate out for a Heavy )"
