−	'''31st'''	+	'''30th'''
−	*[[Candy Dragon]] now available in the Elite Shop.  One more source of tricks and treats.	+	*Research display updated to show time left in a range to better reflect its more random parts.

−	*[[Kitsune]] can now set their fur color to Yellow to get a yellow/gold color scheme.	+	*Players (new players that is) can now set a birthday after P-day (but before current day IC). Also, the birthday command now tells you exactly what you can and can't set for birthday.)

−	*The 'location' readout on the web interface can now be clicked to go to the travel menu.
−	*[[Unpredictable]] and [[Toughened]] recipe mods coded.
−	*[[Deathly Cut]] commissioned for a private power. The public version will be [[Headshot]].
−	*[[Everliving]] and [[Rebirth]] each just got their cooldown cut by 35%. Woo!
	'''29th'''		'''29th'''
−	*Instead of silly things like 'th^normal^ey', one can put [they] to escape the description auto-pronoun replacement system.	+	*<s>Poses now have two spaces in front, for easier reading and also capturing in various triggers and what not.</s>
−	**For example, '[they] look too long for their body' will be returned as 'they look too long for his body'.	+	*You can now 'pose #prepend (stuff)' to set your own prepend to poses.
−	*The seventh or eighth best thing ever has happened: There is now a cow avatar ready to go on the [http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?Who Who's Online] page!	+	*[[Kaiju]] are now only size 10 by default; someone left them in the dryer too long.
−	*Items that have fully expired can now be repaired.	+	**[[Giant Size]] is now a toggle, which grants +40 size to whatever shape you are using.
−	*Power type and power target should once more be recorded in statuses (internally) for distills and inherent statuses.	+	***Might want to retrain it, since its everything was modified.
−	**This should mean that after a while, distills and such will no longer fade when out of combat.	+	*There are the first stirrings of something .[[Mephitic Gryphon|.]]. unearthly out in Oregon. It is still massively unfinished, but go down, then NE to meet the NPC you can take you out there to start investigating.
−	*Recipes with more than 3 skills needing [[Top Tier Crafts]] will no longer be shown as craftable.	+	*[[Techno Nanomagic]]'s power was removed, since it didn't really do anything. A new power may or may not be pending. You can't expect it to fix everything!

	'''28th'''		'''28th'''
−	*If a Devourer or Coyote shifts someone while either the target or shifter is under the effect of the nanite status, code will use the lower of the shifter's and shifted's nanite statuses for energy cost. (If either is lower than -100, shifting will fail.)	+	*Epic powers no longer grant extra power slots, you get the extra slots for having the 10 levels straight away.

A preview of the upcoming expansion that is half financed. Any completed global research will change the game -forever-!"

The percentage is based off the skill with that craft type. It is halved again if the item has expired already.
−	*[[Hardening]] added to the [[Polyethylene Dragon]]'s loot table.	+	**If extra ingredients were used (like a Nanite Collector for Ultimate Nanite Collector) it takes an average of your crafting chances used to make it and then rolls a random 100 against it

Instantly gives the user 10 supporter points, as detailed [http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?help/Supporter here].	+	***You can only get back single items in this way and only items that are in the mako store. You can't get back, for example, the 20 mako batteries used to make a weapon master item.

Latest revision as of 20:11, 19 January 2013

30th

• Research display updated to show time left in a range to better reflect its more random parts.
• New group improvement: Lab, causes your group to research faster! See rpinfo for more detail.
• Players (new players that is) can now set a birthday after P-day (but before current day IC). Also, the birthday command now tells you exactly what you can and can't set for birthday.)
• Token exchange now condenses buy and sell orders on the main portion, making it easier to see more of the whole market.

29th

• Poses now have two spaces in front, for easier reading and also capturing in various triggers and what not.
• You can now 'pose #prepend (stuff)' to set your own prepend to poses.
• Kaiju are now only size 10 by default; someone left them in the dryer too long.
  • Giant Size is now a toggle, which grants +40 size to whatever shape you are using.
    • Might want to retrain it, since its everything was modified.
• There are the first stirrings of something ... unearthly out in Oregon. It is still massively unfinished, but go down, then NE to meet the NPC you can take you out there to start investigating.
• Techno Nanomagic's power was removed, since it didn't really do anything. A new power may or may not be pending. You can't expect it to fix everything!

28th

• Epic powers no longer grant extra power slots, you get the extra slots for having the 10 levels straight away.
  • The end result is the same number of powers, but should make shuffling powers easier, and easier for newbies with no epics to at least grab more powers.
• Newly rented rooms will have numeric shortcuts instead of ones based on your name.
• Wasteland Warrior-level subscribers now only pay 1 freecred to use any rented room.
• Research now has a helpfile.
• Bug in Water Adaptation's salvage upgrade fixed, you may want to re-master if you took that option.

27th

• Flaws now list what they exclude in their +rpinfo.
• Nuku softly churrls, "New command, research, improve the world through community effort by building things, doing things, finding things. A preview of the upcoming expansion that is half financed. Any completed global research will change the game -forever-!"
  • This can also be accessed via the left pane in the web interface.
• +pj #loot now favors salvage you have a boost for.
• Putting [legs] in an ass/tail description will now prevent the legs from showing up in an autodesc. No more abusing the poor, overworked legless flag.

26th

• Some folks managed to have over 100 resources. This has been fixed.
• Tail Drop totally redesigned. It now hurts a little when you use it, but buffs your party's flee rate and your personal defense, then your regen goes up a couple of rounds later as your tail regrows.
• +prove/silent now works with merits and perks.
• When dropping a crafted item, instead of grinding them up for DP you can now grind them up for a percentage of the original salvage needed to make them. The percentage is based off the skill with that craft type. It is halved again if the item has expired already.
  • If extra ingredients were used (like a Nanite Collector for Ultimate Nanite Collector) it takes an average of your crafting chances used to make it and then rolls a random 100 against it
    • You can only get back single items in this way and only items that are in the mako store. You can't get back, for example, the 20 mako batteries used to make a weapon master item.
  • Also note, this does not take into account extra salvage spent when the item is above your skill level.
• Non-player-crafted 'crafted' items will no longer be able to be broken down to salvage.

  • Oh, and nanite collectors work properly again.
• Consumable items no longer care if you're past your upkeep limit.

24th

• The Wasteland Warrior subscription level can no longer be bought with tokens.
  • It can, however, be bought with 60 mako directly.
• It is now possible to view the full stats on an item being auctioned using the command 'auction #info'.
• Alert, changes being made to consumables to make them use the standard power code, meaning, at least, they'll use all your awesome stats the way a normal power would! For example, health snacks now care about your Healing skill.
• Consumables used out of combat should no longer care about cooldowns.
• Viewing items with a direct modified AoE stat (basic spread modified items for example) will now show how many targets they are hitting.

23rd

• Nanite grenades loaded with the random nanite vial will now give the same infection to all 7 slots, instead of 7 random infections.
• Punching bags should properly report damage they take again.
• The web crafting bounty now tells you if it's time for you to get tokens with this turnin, and if not how long you need to wait.
• The 'partymentor' command now gives names, instead of dbrefs.
• Titles set by +forms/title now capitalize properly.

22nd

• The great request purge has completed! If you had a request more than a week old, it was marked complete. Resubmit if there's still a problem.
• You should no longer get more than one continue button when an extra person comes in to help fight a web mission battle.
• Males losing their virginity to females who are not themselves losing their virginity now correctly get the female's name in their badge.
• Wearing stuff mid combat should properly cost you a turn.
• Udderly Odd monster template added. It only shows up on bovine ferals, and it's pretty rare. And pretty... welp.
• Flurry buffed; now grants a small HPBuffer every time you hit with a repeatattack.
• The string parsing variable [is fertile] is now more accurate, and includes ovulating players.
• Ruggedized is now +5% upkeep instead of -5%. Wait, no. Its description was just updated.
• You can now pour money directly into your group coffers from within the '+group #control' menu.
• +finger now also reports the species and the short description of its targets.
• Penetration now applies at a slightly different point; it should be more effective now.

21st

• Major bug fixed in purchasing dedications entirely with tokens, it should now give the badge when purchased, (If anybody bought a dedication entirely with tokens, file a request so you can get your badge properly.)

• Birth control (both types) will now stop you from ovulating (with the perk).

• Nuku softly churrls, "As recommended, judge level 2 required for +room access."
• Rental Hub is now outpost equipment you can purchase for 50 mako, adds 5 rentable rooms from a room you own. You can use multiple to add more.
• Folks with Udder Delight now have teats instead of nipples. Much more grabbable.
• Nuku squawks, "New item added to direct purchase options, Species Avatar, goes directly to pay an artist to make avatars now that our avatar system is online."
  • By the way, avatars have been totes overhauled.
• Hopefully, we've seen the last of those bounties that go negative for being so bloody valuable.

15th

• Triggered powers can no longer trigger more trigger powers.
• String parsing added: You can now use [account stat (property)] and [if account stat (property) (is) (value)] to check things like mako counts.

• Passives now fire once every 5 rounds, instead of every round. If you find any passives that give their benefits for fewer than 5 rounds, please file a +request.
• Insulating rebalanced.
• Invisible redesigned; it now grants penetration, lost its damage penalty, and has a reduced cooldown penalty.
• Fiery Hide had its numbers rebalanced. If they feel too high or low, please file a +request. We crave feedback!

14th

• If you are using AI blocks your (use and don't use) power preferences are now ignored unless your blocks all fail.
  • If your AI finds NOTHING to do at all, it will now just use strike.
• If a converter is used on a pure breed monster, it should result in instant mastery.
• The AI page will now 'clean up' your AI (if you have more AI blocks than you should as well as 'allow' and 'do not allow' settings for powers you don't have.

8th

• Spreading infections can no longer grant mastery. You'll need to get that last hit just like everyone else.
