New page

'''30th'''
*If you are renting a room from, for example, the Five Fingers Inn, you can use #lock and #unlock to bar the door. Anyone inside can #unlock it to prevent being trapped inside.
*Dropping items does not send a message to the room you are in.
*[[Xeno]] group skill upgrade works when looking at mutants.
*g #who command will display current and maximum group members.
*Stacking powers should stack again.
*Using +vote to approve of someone's RP when you have run out of votes will ask to spend 10% mako battery charge.

'''29th'''
*[[Headbutt]] changed around a little bit to be more interesting. Now a fairly heavy hitter with moderate charge and some nice knockdown and a chance for some <i>great</i> knockdown.

'''28th'''
*The price on true [[Supernatural Registration]]s has been dropped to 450 mako.
*[[Sucker Grip]] coded. It's a special adaption!

'''26th'''
*[[Soothing Balm]] created to give newbies some new gear.
*[[Training - Medicine]] and [[Training - Effectiveness]] created to give you more gear options!
*Going forward, there are now three tiers of supernatural registration
**300 mako will get you a [[Special Training Registration]], just like always. No form is connected to it. This would match [[Gemini Cyborg]], or [[Survivalist Leader]].
**400 mako buys a [[Racial Registration]], which has a form, but is still scientific, such as [[Cow Maiden]].
**800 mako is required for a true [[Supernatural Registration]]. This has a form, and can be something explicitly magical, such as the [[Tanuki]], [[Solar Dragon]], or [[Phoenix]] dedications.

'''24th'''
*New in the Elite Shop: [[Private Forum]], allowing you to set up a section of the [http://web.flexiblesurvival.com/index.php forums] for you to run.
*[[Friendly Bandoleer]] and [[Hostile Bandoleer]] added to the Survivalist shop. These allow the use of one expendable item in auto-combat.
**And also debugged so they work properly.
**Said debugging also resulted in [[Throwing Knives]] dealing more damage.
*Damaged softly churrs, "When trying to spend mako and you don't have enough, if you have a credit card on file, it will ask you if you wish to donate from that card to get enough mako to pay for the thing ($5 minimum)"
*[[Pack Leader_(dedication)|Pack Leaders]] gained an active power [[Pack Leadership]] to keep their minions energetic.
*The Eastern Highway of Fairhaven has another exit ramp.
*[[Long Burning]] distill less terrible.

'''23rd'''
*[[Fire Dance]] self-damage increased to match up with players having been given more HP some time back.

'''22nd'''
*[[Engulf]] coded. Sticky!
*AI lines set with powers you do not currently have will be ignored instead of tossing errors.

'''21st'''
*The [[Pack Leader (dedication)|Pack Leader]] dedication has arrived! Truly, this is a joyous day.

'''20th'''
*+glance now tells you if there's a source in the room.
*You can now epic powers from the web interface! Hooray, modern convenience!
*[[Prospector]] and [[Conservative Miner]] perks added.
*[[Feesh]] got a little smarter. Sure spends a lot of time in school for such a lonely creature.
*Pets summoned by monsters will have Pet: in front of their names, and not numbers, making targeting the parent infinitely easier.

'''19th'''
*Dropping a mako item will ask a second time if you are REALLY sure.

'''18th'''
*The ten-second minimum for autocombat rounds is being fiddled with. It is at 4 seconds at the time of this writing.
*Action buttons will be hidden when it is not your turn on web combat. No more bait-and-switch buttons!
*Salvage status, both generic and specific like ChemicalSalvage, no longer has a cap. Unfortunately it is a percentage modifier on your base salvage chance, ending up much smaller.
**[[Clever Paws]] updated to be useful with the new salvage numbers. And now it increases the nanite vials you get too!
*Assorted [[Mechanical Source|sources]] of salvage can be dropped into rooms to reward roleplaying with salvage.
*Avatar will announce RP XP ticks in the tick channel. Tick ON!

'''17th'''
*Expansion backpacks make change. If you have enough items to activate your [[Small Nanopack]] but not your [[Large Nanopack|large]] one, the latter won't drain your battery that day. [[Duct Tape Backpack]] will always be checked last, alas.
*[[Extravagant Implement]] recipe coded. Like the last one, this is a private recipe. Seek out the Mechanist's Guild!
**You can tell because private recipes will show the owner's group in rpinfo.
*Auto combat rounds can run no faster than 10 seconds per round. Apparently this will speed up the game.

'''16th'''
*Betraying powers, like [[Fire Dance]], ignore resistances. They should simply do the level-scaled damage to you.
*[[Protein Shield]] rebalanced. In short, it takes more effort the more you are spraying, and the CritHPBuffer means something.
*[[Child Trainer]] added to the elite stores.
*[[Unshielded Prototype]] recipe created. It is private. Aw.
**+rpinfo now tells you if a recipe is private!

'''15th'''
*[[Cleansing]] distillation cleans more, to match other passive Debuffclear effects.
*Sati softly churrs, "Non Roo/Child, pet summons are limited to 4 simultaneously. This includes equipment, and power/dedication summons should they come down the line. This was done to limit the effect of Mastermind to something controllable, and also allowed a dedication to get made, and was done under my request. I'm not certain anyone is using more than four so it shouldn't really affect anyone."
*Your relative size to a target appears when you are looking at them, right before describing their skin. Everyone is so tiny! What is going on?

'''14th'''
*Almost all recipe modifiers (in fact, all but cool/protective/amplifying) got their ally status durations doubled. You don't have to spam that banner nearly as often now!
**As a result, the energy cost of [[Banner]] and [[Amplifier]] went up significantly.
*Passive effects of most distills moved upwards, as well.
*Group founders can now set themselves to whatever rank they want. They remain leaders. Everyone else needs to be set 'leader' to attain that power though.
*You can now use % to act as 'modulus' in string parsing, much like the other (+-*/) operands.
*Time for some +reward overhauls!
**+10% bonus XP is now +25% bonus XP!
**That annoying +reward that upgraded items? GONE.
**Got a mako battery recharge? Have a battery, too!
*The [[Cred Energy Rejuvinator]] got discounted, from 5 mako down to 2.
*[[Blood Extractor]] coded, and put in the token shop.

'''12th'''
*Newbie items are now handed out at level 20, so they'll be useful until you can start getting your feet wet with crafting.
*Children and Roo pets no longer show up for upgrading on the web page. They're going to go hungry. :<
*Minor creature creator tweaks:
**The sayverb boxes are now large enough to see what you're writing
**There is a box to specify size. Remember that 5 is human-sized, and the scale is not in feet. Really.
*You now see victories again when mentored up or down. You can once again experience joy while seriously overpowering level 5 skunk girls.
*Ranger role added. Health, Penetration, and Roll with It!
*Commissar role added. Tactician, Rage, and Avoidance. Also heresy.
*Pregnancy Simulators, in [[Light Pregnancy Simulator|light]], [[Medium Pregnancy Simulator|medium]], and [[Heavy Pregnancy Simulator|heavy]] versions, added to the elite store for 15 mako apiece.

'''11th'''
*Nuku carols, "DoTs from player sources cannot cause infections"
*Pages sent to another player will have timestamps. Your 'page #last' will be easier to read.
*[[Kitsune]] Now has Victory messages! (Perhaps we should start worrying about them now...)

'''10th'''
*Web combat has a Refresh button, in case it appears to have stalled.
*[[Roll With It]] and [[Tar Baby]] have a diminishing chance to activate with hits smaller than the threshold. Much more likely to happen in ordinary combat.
*Training resources now cost the same on the web and in direct control.
*[[Damage]] combat skill will decrease the amount of damage lost when something evades your attacks.
*Web salvage missions now tend to not be quite so long.
*A new status, Vampiric! Gives all your direct damage powers a (magnitude)% vampiric effect.

'''9th'''
*No more Easter eggs! Existing ones still work, so crack 'em open.
*The various salvage-boosting items, like [[Cooler]], slotted. You can only prefer one kind of salvage at a time.
*Web combat has a longer attention span. You won't fall automated if you don't click a button within ten seconds.

'''8th'''
*Happy Easter! Monsters are now dropping Easter Eggs. Open them up for a surprise!
**Bunny and rabbit enemies are more likely to drop eggs.
**Zombies are not likely to drop them, being too stupid to remember to find any.
**Eggs are also available for 1 mako apiece in the elite store, if you are a silly person.
*The inventory section of the web interface has been completely remodeled!
*The follow code (the stuff you use hopon and handup to use) now defaults to the 'walk' option, instead of the 'ride' option.
**Want to write your own follow text? Type 'ride #help2' to get started!
*Web salvage missions now only use one patrol point at a time, but require twice as many patrols.
*[[Invasive Procedure]] coded.

'''7th'''
*The [[Survival]] skill now reduces environmental penalties by 10% per point.
*Did you know that energymod abilities, but positive and negative, were twice as powerful in combat? Well, if you didn't, now you know why [[Rest]] isn't going as far as you thought it should.
*The military base is now stamped as High Danger, which means people will come to your aid in web battles there.
*New holiday form, just under the wire! [[Marshmallow Chicken]] is available for a limited time.
**This form has both [[Smooth Hide]] and [[Expansiveness]], by the way.
**Peep!
*[[Expansiveness]] brought in line with other AoE abilities; now twice as nice!

'''6th'''
*[[Tanuki]]s (either active, or inactive with the [[Golden Leaf]]) can now make use of the [[Nanite Spatial Recalculator]]. The function is identical as when a [[Nanite Adept]] uses it.
*Caber Tosser role added, possessing Controlled Burst, Endurance, and Tactician.
*[[Gemini Cyborg]], a new dedication in progress, has been coded. Expect to hear more from it soon!
**Beep!

'''5th'''
*[[Myriad Armor]] had a math error; its damage resists went up a bit.
**[[King Cobra]] now has the [[Myriad Armor]] ability, by the way.
*[[Conductive]] and [[Solid Frame]] are a little stronger now, to bring them up to speed with the other discounts to energy powers.
*[[Sharpshooter]] now has an energy upgrade, so it's not quite so tiring.
*Powerthirst was renamed to [[Ultraquench]]. Curse you, copyright law!
*You're now a little more likely to find builder nanites after a fight when not equipped with a collector.

'''4th'''
*[[Least EN]] AI block added to RSX's store.
*[[Busty Succubus]] and [[Raised Pharaoh]] don't spawn zombies due to lag issues. Just like old times!
*[[Durability]], [[Avoidance]] and [[Health]] combat skills reduce the size of direct heals you apply by 3% per point. Makes non-tank support more useful.
*The +census master command will list what people have chosen to make epic.
*Energy recovery outside battle is doubled. Less annoying downtime.
*Fengrove Hills and Fengrove Caves opened to the public! Look for them on the Fairhaven overworld, near the corn maze.
**The hills contain [[Ogre]]s, [[King Cobra]]s, and [[Fox Taur]]s!
**The caves contain (deep breath) [[Blade Beast]], Dark Elves in both [[Dark Elf Male|Male]] and [[Dark Elf Female|Female]] flavors, and both Orthom [[Orthom Ovaped|Ovapeds]] and [[Orthom Brute|Brutes]]!
***That's right! I hope you're after a lot of fun new forms!

'''3rd'''
*Damaged softly churrs, "Added [if status (status name) of (target) (>/</=/!=) (number)] and [status (status name) of (target)] to string parsing"
**This can, for example, allow a victory to compare your accuracy against their defense. Or change your description if you have more damagebuff than the looker.
*Further string parsing: Damaged softly churrs, "[systime] will return the current unix system time in string parsing"
*[[Monotreme Activator]] description made more accurate.
*XP and credit rate below level 20 increased.

'''2nd'''
*[[Statuses|Attack]] status now applies to DOTs.
**Increases the magnitude of the status by its own mag, to a maximum of one-third increase.
**Nuku carols, "So Attack 2 + DoT 2 = 2.6"
**Nuku carols, "Attack 2 + DoT 6 = 8"
*Website right-side bar shows XP and credits needed for next level.
*[[Celestial Attendant]] has moved back to his pool, placed where it used to be on the Mountain Path.

'''1st'''
*All updates are now done retroactively, their effects propagated back through to the past.
*<del>A bunch of silliness with names has been introduced</del>
**Silliness retroactively deleted. This is a serious game.
*The [[Mall Rat]]s have decided to start collecting <i>all of the shinies</i>. [[Luck of the Rat]] is now massively more powerful.
