 +
** Taur and tailed (from leg splitter/tail divider respectively) will only be present in the ass.
 +
** Multiarm (from arm divider) will only be present in the arms.

* In theory, 'all' is now a valid thing to put in for the type of salvage you are handing to someone, so you can give all all common salvage to bob and bob will get all the common salvage you have.
 
** You can still use 'all' for the amount of things, and for the type of thing: "give 1 all chemical salvage to Bob" would result in Bob getting one common, uncommon, rare, and so on chemical salvage.

* To make upkeep easier on staff, the item-generation code now stores the time when you can generate a new item, rather than the time of last creation.
