== February ==
 
'''8th'''
 
*[[Size King]] merit, bundling all the break-size-cap merits into one, now exists!
 
*[[Ultimate Fishing Rod]], which is so famous people give you a stipend for holding it, coded but not yet placed.
 
*A bug was fixed that made Hard Boss- and Final Boss-rank monsters much easier.  They were then made to hit harder and apply statuses harder.  Please report on this ongoing fix.
 
*Two new merits for the new child system: [[Matron]] and [[Instructor]].
 
*Skunk faction shop now available, making all three mutually exclusive recipe shops in-game.  Contains [[Liquid Bandage]] and [[Attention Deficit Remedy]].
 
 
 
'''7th'''
 
*[[Top Tier Crafts]] merit added.
 
*When gaining salvage, a message is now sent to the receiver, even if they're in a different room.
 
*You can now 'list forms' to see what forms you have unlocked, even if you're not an adept.
 
*[[Basic Spread]] now applies spread rating to items.
 
*New store!  Mall Rats offer some no-trade recipes that will be mutually exclusive with the upcoming Skunk and Survivalist shops.
 
*The mall rats have started their own mini-faction, granting access to a unique store with a couple of unique recipes. There will be two other factions (Skunks and Survivalists), and all three will be mutually exclusive; each character can only join ONE of the three. Caution is advised until the other two are put in.
 
*Survivalists mini-faction added, and we've discovered what the two released factions offer for schematics so far.
 
**The Rats come with [[Superconducting Magnet]] and [[Cybernetic Reflex Booster]]
 
**The Survivalists offer [[Portable Dialysis]] and [[Uniform]]
 
 
 
'''6th'''
 
*Prometheans no longer elitist jerks: Anyone can go through their gates to visit.  Overworld point now goes to the center of New Dawn.
 
*[[Mutant Companion]] recipe coded, sold at New Dawn's Crossroads.  Powers and roles reported as follows:
 
**"Nuku softly churrls, "Back row 2, Bewitched 2, Cure 3, Small Claws 4, Purr, Snap kick 1, and furry hide 1.""
 
*[[Shield Drone]] recipe coded, to be added to a future web mission.
 
**Nuku softly churrls, "Front Row:3, Endurance:1, Taunting Strikes:3, Juggernaut:4 (DamageResistMag:1.0, Energy:-0.3), Abrasive Hide:1, Solid Frame:1, Stonewall:2 (PhysicalDamageResistDuration:2), Guarding Stance:3 (CoverChance:50), Strike:1"
 
*Trashing items via web interface now gives as much freecred as you would get in direct control.
 
*As part of the ongoing child changes, they (and other minions) no longer lose levels when you have more than one summoned.
 
*+census can now use the 'form' command to check for mastered forms.
 
*Children and pets that use NotUser powers (like [[Evening Song]], or [[Delicious Treat]]) can now use them on their parents!
 
**The magnitude is reduced by 25%, however, when used on you. Full power on other people, though.
 
 
 
'''5th'''
 
*DamageReturn now has soft caps at 50% and 75%, and a hard cap at 100%.
 
**Presuming this works like other mechanics, after 50% each point is worth half, halved again after 75%. You'd need 200 DamageReturn to return 100% of damage dealt, which would be the hard cap.
 
*Your 'total' badges (Total Skunk Girl, Total Blue Gryphon, Total Whatever) have vanished! This is not a drill. They're still there, just not clogging your badge list. This post will be updated once there's a good way to view them again.
 
**Please do not panic.
 
***No, really. Quit that.
 
****Sit down and be calm. Please. Don't make us get the hose.
 
*Children are changing.  This is an ongoing process.
 
**You can @force your children to do commands starting in :, ; and ".  This means they can act during RP.
 
**You may have ONE child or kangaroo pet out. Only one.
 
**Having out a child reduces your base action (that is, how much ATB you get per tick) by 30%
 
***Having [[Born Leader]] cuts this penalty by half, to a 15% penalty.
 
***Having [[Backseat Driver]] cuts this penalty by a third, to a 20% penalty.
 
****Having both means you're only suffering a 10% ATB penalty.
 
**New Kangaroo pets must be equipped like normal children. Old ones can be converted, but will function as they have for now.
 
**Children can now be trained! Type 'train' in front of Sandra in Zephyr's basement.
 
***Fresh outta the womb, children have 1 power: strike. They must use slots for anything else.
 
***New children only have 1 slot, but as they gain battle XP in combat they will work up to a maximum of 8 at <del>2757.68881863023</del> 2758 XP.
 
****After combat, all children equipped (not just the active one) gain battle xp, spread out among themselves. This does NOT suck xp away from the player - testing has shown an equipped child gains the same amount (100%) of the XP the player does.
 
****Resetting their training sets them back to square one; be careful!
 
***Slots can be used either to master a power they have in their mutations, upgrade one of those powers (one upgrade per power), master a role, just like a player would have, or raise the cap on the distills they can use (with no levels spent in distills, they can only use level 1s; one level lets you use 2, then another for 3, then one more for 4).
 
****If they have a stronger distill, it acts at the strength they are trained for.
 
****Kangaroo pets can only have 3 roles, but children can use all 8 slots for roles, if you so desire.
 
*****Please don't give a child 8 roles.
 
**Now you can panic.
 
*Mako pool success stories:
 
**Tanuki can now buy a cock count leaf at the usual place.
 
**Quarterback role created! Reactive, Mastermind, Fast Loading.
 
*[[Liquid Bandage]] coded.
 
 
 
'''4th'''
 
*Web interface tweaks:
 
**The web shop interface will now let you know if you do or do not have an AI program.
 
**The web crafting interface should now be much smarter about loadout and upkeep.
 
**You cannot challenge people more than one level below you in PvP. You can challenge your betters all you want, though.
 
*Completing web missions from the MUD should stop spitting out a bunch of HTML, and you'll get the proper command to continue.
 
*There are occasional reminders about commending an infection when shifting. By the way, COMMEND MORE CREATURES.
 
*The Medicine professional skill now grants +10/20/30% more healing when out of combat.
 
 
 
'''3rd'''
 
*Liberated children now do +5% damage and status magnitudes on powers they have locked. It's like they were born to use these attacks!
 
*[[Targeting]] mod coded.
 
*[[Siphon]] and [[Soldering Iron]] added to token stores. Robert now stocks all five salvage-boosting schematics!
 
*You can now vote for polls through the web interface over [[http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?polling here]]!
 
*[[Portable Dialysis]], [[Superconducting Magnet]] and [[Attention Deficit Remedy]] coded.
 
*[[Nanite Adaption Assimilator]] for sale with the mall rats. Allows non-liberated mutants to 'fix' a nativized part's power to themselves, gaining that same +5% bonus.
 
 
 
'''2nd'''
 
*The [[Abundant Supply]] power has been added to [[Rabid Squirrel]]s, bringing it to the grid!
 
*[[Nanite Sexual Stabilizer]] and [[Nanite Gender Assigner]] added to elite stores.
 
*[[Chemical Extractor]] , [[Overclocker]], [[Metal Detector]] and [[Cybernetic Reflex Booster]] recipes coded
 
**Chemical Extractor and [[Cooler]] both uptuned to make them far better for their own salvage, but provide a small penalty to other types.
 
**Cooler, Metal Detector, and Chemical Extractor are all on grid, in the token shops.
 
*[[Flexible]], [[Jagged]], and [[Invisible]] mods coded.
 
*Flexible, Hooked, and Overclocker added to the elite stores.
 
 
 
'''1st'''
 
*Staff characters can travel without restraint of river or water on the overworld map.
 
*You can no longer taunt friendly targets. Phew!
 
*notuser abilities ([[Tears of Life]], [[Delicious Treat]], etc) are now smarter about not firing when there are no valid targets.
 
*Rooms you have set as your respawn point now say so, instead of asking you to bond there.
 
*Training no longer shows crafting options until at least level 15.
 
*[[Energy Snack]]s have been massively buffed.  Also cost more to make.
 
**Harder to use in combat, too; longer charge and now has an 8-round cooldown.
 
*A mako pool for the [[Olfactory Sensor]] was created, then finished like an hour later. Hooray!
 
**[[Nanite Gender Assigner]] and [[Sexual Stabilizer]] followed less than an hour after that!
 
 
 
== January ==
 
'''31st'''
 
*Items will now track how much xp they earn via combat for MYSTERIOUS future purposes.
 
*[[Crossbow]] recipe added to Hidden Camp store.
 
 
 
'''30th'''
 
*New pool for Sexual Stabilizer: allows Nanite Adepts to toggle gender-change immunity.
 
*Proper talk restrictions set on channels you shouldn't talk on, while still allowing you to turn them on and off and pull the history with #last.
 
 
 
'''29th'''
 
*The adjusted length/depths shown in +groin are now much less silly, though their function is unchanged.
 
*[[Shred the Moon]] rebalanced drastically; it is much cheaper, but far less powerful. The concept of 'temporary toggles' has been buried for good.
 
*You now get reward tokens randomly when RPing! Check for it on your RP ticks.
 
*The [[Crossbow]] mako pool is completed. Item is a recipe.
 
*Flunky's mako pool completed!
 
 
 
'''28th'''
 
*The [[Nanite Control Extender]] can now properly make use of the new size-changing Adept toy.
 
*The [[Nanite Carnal Equalizer]] can now bypass the 'lesser' size merits, such as [[Maximum Depth]] or [[Tanuki Grade]].
 
*Size-shifting now actually obeys which badges you have, and accepts partial matches.
 
*New pool started for Nanite Gender Assigner -- allows you to overwrite Male/Female Preferred with the Carnal Equalizer.
 
*Smaller-than-normal mutants now get a much stronger benefit/penalty to defense/HP. Fairies are now +/-32 instead of 4.
 
*[[Nanite Resistor]] added to the elite store. Allows Nanite Adepts to decide not to be infected by anything today.
 
*Tanuki stores now stocked with the Leaf: Vaginal Control.
 
*More mako pools! If this keeps up, we're going to have to stop documenting them.
 
**Bows!
 
**Flunky role!
 
***More badges added to mako pools!
 
 
 
'''27th'''
 
*[[Long Burning]] and [[Nanite Cooling]] distillations adjusted.
 
*[[Electrified Chainsword]] recipe lost a little damage due to budgeting concerns regarding its insane knockback.
 
*[[Nanite Adaptation Cleanser]] pool completed; the item is now in the elite stores.
 
*Body size now factors into your actual penis length/vaginal depth. The numbers in +groin now reflect this; the old standard of being within 50% of your target still apply.
 
**By the way, different mutants are different sizes. +groin reports your relative body size. 5 is 'average'.
 
*New pool list item: Tanuki vaginal control!
 
**The Tanuki female leaves poll has completed! That was fast.
 
*Body size has a mechanical component: Bigger creatures have more HP, but worse defense.
 
**For every point larger than 5, you gain +1% HP, but -1 Defense. Kaiju, at body size 50, have +45% health, but -45 defense. This goes the opposite way; Fairies have -4% health, but +4 defense.
 
*[[Tall]] and [[Short]] merits added, adjusting your scale by 20% in one direction or another. [[Human Sized]] added for people who want to skip this scale silliness entirely.
 
*[[Hotdogger]] mutation added to the elite store.
 
*[[Nanite Spatial Recalculator]] added to the elite store; allows you to change your size to that of other mutations.
 
*[[Nanite Adaptation Cleanser]] added to the elite store; allows liberated children to forget a power once and for all.
 
*The [[Module]] pool has completed! The pool for [[Area Module]] has replaced it.
 
*The final boss of the pet store has been turned into a resummonable boss fight. It can be summoned once per day, and has a bunch of cool loot on it.
 
 
 
'''26th'''
 
*http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?makopool allows you to view and bid on mako pools from the comfort of your own browser.
 
*A pile of new recipes and recipe modifiers coded but not yet available.  Like [[Hooked]].
 
*The first mako pool success story, the [[Heat Blocker]], has been unleashed upon the unsuspecting elite stores!
 
*Repeat attacks no longer secretly diminished by DebuffResist.
 
*Some, but not all, recipes added as possible results for +reward.
 
**Right on its heels, the [[Dogged Reporter]] profession has occurred!
 
*Recipes and modifiers have been slotted into +reward.
 
*[[Triage Kit]], [[Ultimate Fishing Rod]], [[Amplifier]], [[Blowhorn]], and [[Uniform]] recipes coded.
 
**[[Hooked]] and [[Stiffened]] modifiers coded. [[Amplifying]] reworked completely.

*[[Steroid Injecting Unit]] and [[Laser Scope]] added to the reward store and mako store, respectively.
 
*The +quest command now lists everything from your logbook and any repeatable quests on file.

*Nuku needs people to write advertisements. Inquire at your nearest Nuku.
 
*Four new badges added for tutors.
 
*Say and oSay fields added to monster entry. Define how they talk!
 
*Reward tokens can now be purchased in the elite shops.
 
*[Public] Busy Body Nuku softly churrls, "[[Adaptive Immunities]] now gives a more... reasonable... penalty."
 
**Anyone have the new numbers?
 
*[Public] Power Girl Sati jingle bells, "[[Heavy Beam]], [[Polearm]], [[Automated Weapon]] and [[Light Melee]] have been run through my calculator, enjoy the updates, especially how much heavy beam got buffed."
 
**Virtually all recipe mods have also been rebalanced. Your gear has probably changed!
 
*[[Improved Laser Pistol]] and [[Gravity Cannon]] coded.
 
 
 
 
 
'''23rd'''
 
*[[Fiery Hide]] now actually protects you from environmental heat, as designed.
 
*[Public] Power Girl Sati jingle bells, "I updated the following recipes to my current balance-line, to see if they scale out of control and make sure my formulas are appropriate.  Go, test, have fun.  ([[Shield]], [[Physical Armor]], [[Light Energy Armor]], [[Heavy Armor]], [[Generic Armor]].)"
 
 
 
'''22nd'''
 
*A freak nanite storm has ripped through the city! All currently-equipped gear suddenly found itself brimming with nanites, filling its DV to the max!
 
**This totally was not a fix after a bug caused a lot of people to lose a lot of nanites in their equipment. Nope.
 
*Haste status and [[Hesitating]] flaw made to work correctly with negative-charge powers like [[Small Claws]].
 
*[[Expert Angler]] cost reduced to 3 merit points.
 
*The germ of PvP has been placed in the petri dish of the "Who's Online" area of the web interface. Click the button to challenge opponents!
 
 
 
'''21st'''
 
*[[Winged]] merit now properly adds a generic note about wings to your description if your species doesn't normally have wings.
 
*[[Reinforced Fishing Rod]], [[Aggressive Soup]], and [[Ergonomic]] schematics placed into Jack's Hardware, the Hidden Camp, and the Hidden Camp, respectively.
 
*Referral links enabled! Go to the 'Buy Mako' area of the web interface to get a referral link. Anyone who signs up for the game through this will automatically declare you a tutor, allowing you to reap the benefits!
 
*HP 50 AI block coded, placed in the token shops.
 
*[[Scratch]] and [[Pincers]] coded as powers for low-level infections.
 
*[[Masochistic Fury]] coded as a power for people who hate themselves.
 
*[[Expert Angler]] merit added.
 
 
 
'''19th'''
 
*[[Stainless]] and [[Nanite Absorbing]] distills actually do what they say on the can now. Sorry about that!
 
*[[Enhanced Lingering Hurt]] distill coded.
 
*'poollist' command added, offering mako drives for specific goals.
 
**Current goal: [[Module]] recipe!  When complete it will allow crafting a tiny thing to put [[Fast]] or [[Crippling]] on.
 
 
 
'''18th'''
 
*Do you like flaws? I like flaws. Have some flaws!
 
**[[Adapted Metabolism]]: +5 Healing, +5 NaniteUse.
 
**[[Nanite Fueled]]: +5 DamageBuff, +5 NaniteUse.
 
**[[Adaptive Immunities]]: +10 DebuffResist, +2 NaniteUse.
 
**[[Nanite Reinforced]]: +1 PhysicalDamageResist, +1 EnergyDamageResist, +5 NaniteUse.
 
***All these flaws cause you to slowly munch through your stock of builder nanites. They are still used when in web combat, but NOT when you are assisting another player.
 
****The benefits go negative if you run out of nanites, by the way.
 
****They are totally the best flaws ever.
 
*+pregtime command added! Gives you a general idea of how soon your babby will be formed.
 
 
 
'''17th'''
 
*AI will no longer try to use a power you do not have.
 
*Fishing bugs fixed.  +fish/info now shows your weight tolerance.
 
*[[Tactical Retreat]] merit added.  Run awayyyyy!
 
*You can no longer stack recipe mod statuses, such as Crippling, Fast, Insulating, etcetera. That means that if you have a Heavy Overwhelming Crippling Scuba Gear and a Crippling Generic Armor, you'll only get the Crippling bonus (modded by Heavy and Overwhelming) from the first one. You can stack whatever you want on active equipment (such as knives, polearms, medkits, and so forth), and may still use Overwhelming, Heavy, and others that simply modify existing statuses.
 
**As a side effect, your effects list is now much clearer about what gear is giving you what.
 
*You can no longer make italics in the public channel.
 
*New command: +totalkilled. Usage: "+totalkilled <mob>" gives you a readout of how many kills you've accumulated on that particular mutant.
 
 
 
'''16th'''
 
*Bleeding AI condition added to reward store.  Allows you to specify a power to use when you are suffering from DOT or debuff effects.
 
*[[Zebra]] infection in the elite stores!
 
**This infection introduces the [[Escape Manuever]] ability on its legs.
 
*New fishing spot along the shoreline of the beach.
 
*Pet Shop of Horrors added to NW Fairhaven, next to the OTHER pet store. Contains [[Female Widow Convert|Black Widow]]s, [[Slinking Ferret]]s, and [[Cuddlefish]]es.
 
**This brings [[Sharp Bite]] and [[Camouflage]] to the grid! A good day.
 
**If you're lucky (well, sort of), you might even find the [[Walking Vagina|super secret boss]] down there!
 
***Oh, and the [[Walking Vagina|super secret boss]] has [[Enveloping Pain]] on it.
 
*If you collect ten [[Recursive (dedication)|Recursive]] badges, totaling 50 mako, you will get [[Nanite Adept (dedication)|Nanite Adept]] automatically.  Not retroactive; if you have ten or more already, you will need to get one more.
 
 
 
 
 
'''15th'''
 
*The awarding of +reward is now account-wide. You cannot have alts just to farm rewards any longer. Sorry! :(
 
**On the plus side, you can now store up to 5 rewards at once, so you don't have to worry about missing one because you made the mistake of sleeping last night.
 
*[[Solid Frame]] can now upgrade for knockdown resistance, while [[Conductive]] can upgrade for HealGain.
 
*Builder nanites are now used for constructing items. More details once we have any idea what we're talking about.
 
**Oh yeah, and you'll now see 'Nanite mass' listed in the web interface. This is part of it.
 
***Testing recipes now also lists the amount of builder nanites required to make the item. It is displayed in mg.
 
*Items made with the [[Insulating]] modifier now slowly drain your builder nanites when worn or used.
 
 
 
'''14th'''
 
*You can now finger people without using the plus sign.
 
*The healing from Vampiric no longer works while dead. Sorry, but you're not REALLY a vampire.
 
*New flaw: [[Bad Reputation]]: Fight more Promethean/Infected Agents!
 
*[[Flash Freeze]] coded, if not yet balanced. You cannot have it!
 
 
 
'''13th'''
 
*AOE accuracy changed.  It should work...as it is supposed to now.  Continued testing on what that actually is.
 
*[[Normal Physics]] now allows you to go a little over the cap on bodypart-modified powers, encouraging you to struggle with your giant breasts.
 
 
 
'''12th'''
 
*[[Front Row]] and [[Back Row]] combat skills buffed. The former grants an extra 10% cover per point on your allies, while the latter grants you an extra 10% per point on cover effects planted on you.
 
*More flaws!
 
**[[Backseat Driver]]: you are more fragile, but your gain an effect identical to [[Born Leader]], with which it can stack.
 
*Trashing (dropping) items is now counted as combat earnings, and is throttled accordingly.
 
**[[Anubis Servant (dedication)|Anubis Servants]] now actually get the listed bonus for trashing items.
 
**Items now have a property listing who found them. Their trash value is diminished for anyone else. Early tests show it to be about -80%.
 
 
 
'''11th'''
 
*[[Adrenaline Boost]], [[Hard as Scale]] and [[Superior Balance]] on linked cooldowns instead of slots.  You can master all of them, but only use one at a time.
 
*Similarly, [[Pounce]], [[Triage]] and [[Expansiveness]] on linked cooldowns.
 
*More monster role tweaks:
 
**Monsters under level 20 half as likely to have a role.
 
**The first role of monsters above level 30 counts twice.  For example, a level 45 Behemoth Master Decoy now gets Avoidance, Warded and Front Row 2 before additional roles are checked.
 
**Powers granted by roles now have a chance to catch the random power upgrades monsters get.
 
*[[Scattershot 2000]] more balanced.
 
*New flaws added, some removed.  Flaws are now intended to be game-changing choices with more negative than positive.
 
**[[Compulsive Artist]], -40% salvage and +10% trinket rate.
 
**[[Hesitating]], all powers gain +100 and then 20% more charge and +5% damage.
 
**[[Heroic Enemies]] now has mechanical effects.  +5 levels for the chances of having roles, +1 mutant power improvement.
 
**[[All Natural]] now a flaw.  No change except for Merit Point cost dropping to zero.  Retroactive for previous AN people.
 
**[[Normal Physics]], Having oversized genitals will impede you. The larger, the worse the penalty.  Magnitude currently unknown.
 
*In-game mail will now be forwarded to your email account.  Previously the game was trying and failing to do this.
 
 
 
'''10th'''
 
*AI now smarter: if you don't have enough energy to use a power, it will not attempt to.
 
*Damage modifying distillations applied to items with DoT effects now boost the DoT as well.
 
*[[Controlled Burst]] 3's effect was apparently never coded and nobody noticed. This has now been rectified.
 
*Monsters with combat skills should get appropriate powers granted and used automatically.
 
 
 
'''9th'''
 
*Continued improvements in the new combat skills.  [[Vampiric]] drains even more health if a monster is defeated by your DOT effect.
 
*Equipment upkeep is now rounded down to the next whole number, but [[Readiness]] is now applied to your upkeep as a whole rather than individually to each item.
 
**Check your equipment, your upkeep total has probably gone up!
 
*Self-damaging powers bypass cover, HPBuffer and vampiric effects.  If you're bleeding yourself, no one can stop you.  Your damagereturn won't trigger on it either, so at least you won't light yourself on fire.
 
*[[Warded]] protects you from DOT effects now.
 
*Roles for EVERYONE!  Now you can fight Skunk Girl Cheerleaders, Math Teacher Determinators, and Behemoth Ninjas.
 
**Monsters created with Mastermind gain a pet power.
 
**Monsters created with Healing get a heal.
 
**Monsters set with pre-existing combat skills won't get any roles.  Mantis with Flurry 3, for example.
 
*[[Modular]] added to [[Survivalist (dedication)|Survivalist]] shop.
 
 
 
'''8th'''
 
*Rejoice, ye of few levels! Partying with someone of higher level than you will automatically mentor you up to 2 levels below the level of the highest party member!
 
*Web shop interface now displays whether or not you have the total badge for an infection vial.
 
*[[Purifying Tablet]] recipe added to the library. Make use of those salmon!
 
*Subscribers now get access to all roles, as though every role has been learned.
 
**An option to make a role permanently known across your account has been added to the web interface roles page as well. Cost currently unclear, but expected to be a small amount of mako.
 
**To celebrate, have some new combat skills. [[Vampiric]], [[Bewitched]], [[Tar Baby]], [[Taunting Strikes]], [[Rage]], [[Sacrificial Fury]], [[Enduring Malice]] all added.
 
**A *lot* of [[Role]]s were added to make use of these new skills.
 
*[[Speed]] role now makes your next turns come faster.  50/100/150 out of 1000 baseline.
 
*[[Fast Loading]] role now decreases the charge time of things like energy snacks and grenades by 300 ATB per point.
 
*[[:Category:Monsters|Ferals]] now show what combat roles, if any, they possess.
 
*Inputting a command while on auto combat will no longer get overridden by your AI settings.
 
*Holidays are over.  No [[Christmas Spirit]], [[Christmas Song]], [[Santa Little Helper]], or [[Spin the Dreidel]] until possibly next year!
 
 
 
'''7th'''
 
*Health bars should now auto-detect how wide your client window is.  To reject change, type 'healthwidth 30'.
 
*Spread powers have a minimum spread of <del>1.5</del> 1.0 now. This is simply to prevent Spread boosters (such as Controlled Burst at rank 2 or 3) from giving it absurd boosts against single targets. For most things, this will not appear to be a change.
 
*[[Delaying]] distillation coded.
 
*[[Totemic Spear]] tweaked to account for spread stat mod.
 
*[[Poison Bite]] now can stack over multiple attacks for a more powerful DoT effect.
 
*[[Field of Dread]] Mutant power added.
 
*[[Tanuki]] just learned [[Bountiful Joy]]! Hooray!
 
*[[Fenrir]] dedicants can now smell your fear. Also your active dedication.
 
**Oh, and there is a set of badges for smelling active dedications. Expect to be sniffed a lot over the next few days.
 
 
 
'''6th'''
 
*Bozeman South Park added, containing [[Crested Wyvern]], [[Horned Wyvern]], and bringing both [[Magma Wurm]] and [[Crimson Wyrm]] to the grid!
 
*NotUser powers on a child or pet should be working as intended now. They no longer affect the summoner under any circumstances.
 
*+haz can now be targeted on any exit of a room, to look before you leap!
 
*Salvage purchases have been moved from the auction channel to the market channel.
 
*The ability to use the Auction channel to host auctions has been fixed.
 
*Perks can now be bought from from the web site at http://flexiblesurvival.com/merits
 
*[[Uncanny Scavenger]], [[Vigilant]], and [[Distillery Expert]] [[:Category:Merits|perks]] added.
 
**The obsolete Custom Work perk removed, as well.
 
 
 
'''5th'''
 
*[cock of target] and [cock size of target] work. This is not news. The news is that all the following work:
 
**[skin of target]
 
**[breast size of target]
 
*You will no longer accidentally cover for more damage that is being done.
 
*[[Moist Towelette]] added to the mall. Clean up, you filthy mutants!
 
*Stacked damage introduced! For sake of example, "stacked5energydamage" with a magnitude of 4 and a duration of 5 will allow you to stack up to four copies of the same 5 DoT damage status, all of which are refreshed every time you layer the power on the enemies again. This particular example would stack all the way to a 20-magnitude energy DoT that lasts 5 rounds.
 
*InstantCooldown (and its associated debuff) coded! Every .1 turns, it tries to apply itself to a random power that is currently on cooldown, trading .1 mag for 100 ATB.
 
*TiredFriend status reports the ally with the least energy (even if it's yourself).
 
*Due to an error, '''your AI targeting preferences have been reset'''! Go back to the AI section of the web interface and re-fix those at earliest convenience.
 
 
 
'''4th'''

Nuku smoothly says, "* Credits that is, not actual vials."

eWrecked Glitch uwu's, "Issues with Diya's defeat not completing the quest fixed. Those who still have the quest in their quest log can talk to Diya outside of his cottage to get the quest completion checked off. Also, Diya can now take you to the dojo again through dialogue prompts."

eWrecked Glitch uwu's, "No longer required to have the Weapon Master badge in order to get Diya to take you to the Dojo to get the very same required badge. That was silly."

eWrecked Glitch uwu's, "+help Skills and Proficiences given a minor update to clarify and remove an erroneous statement at the end."

Nuku smoothly says, "Raising proficiencies past their training level is no longer token free."

eWrecked Glitch throatily barks, "+coyote and +adept codes have been merged in the background. This shouldn't really change anything in the foreground, overall. Also, minor fixes made to the code, changing how messages should display, relying on the same 'infect' code that exists in the shift command and all other commands that deal with shifting. This should fix errors in stringparsing in transformation messages used by these two commands."

Judgment Alceris predicts, "Having your mass manipulated now applies its effects even if you're not currently carrying a Nanite Mass Manipulator. It was pretty useless for Coyotes before."

Nuku smoothly says, "Top Tier merit removed. Your points are already refunded, enjoy!"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Rejoice. We've decided to remove the TopTier flag from all recipes. Crafting just got a lil' simpler."

Nuku smoothly says, "Top Tier Crafts returned. If you had it before, you still have it."

eWrecked Glitch throatily barks, "Violence flag re-established into wi as vio."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "removed a stray power upgrade on mechanical drones for a power they no longer have."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Flurry combat skill removed from Slasher Bot, since that got removed from the game ages ago."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "( Also since none of their attacks are repeats )"

Nuku smoothly says, "Gave birth in the future? This will now fix itself, hirrah!"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Slasher Bot has been given some love, since it was lagging behind. Full stats they get now:"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "/Minions/SlasherDrone#/1:Damage:1"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "/Minions/SlasherDrone#/2:Sacrificial Fury:2"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "/Minions/SlasherDrone#/3:Speed:2"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Penetration:2, Bleeding:3, Reactive:2, Controlled Burst:3"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Auto Cleave with a Damage of 5, Auto Slash with a damage of 5, Robotic Systems giving them 10 damagebuff, 1 attack, and 10 accuracy"

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "This is a test message, please ignore."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "This is another test message, please ignore."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Adept command now *correctly* checks if you're actually, y'know. An adept."

Mostly Retired Fauna wantonly purrs, "Adept bodypart shifting now correctly requires the Carnal Equalizer instead of the Spatial Recalculator"

eWrecked Glitch uwu's, "Several fixes made to the +coyote command, giving it at least soem functionality. Please report any bugs you notice as it's an ongoing process to fix!"
