December

23rd

  • New Area in Fairhaven: Rev'n Rave Techno Safari
    • An amusement park built by Zephyr's to help keep their agents both active and relaxed during downtime.
  • Chrome Shark Beast moved from the left the Pet Shop to the Rev'n Rave.
  • In theory, pump messages should now only go to the person being pumped and the person doing the pumping.
  • Leash and Collar added to token store.
  • Leashed status now shows in party.
  • +groin now reports milk as per lactation value.
  • Giving birth now gives a 100 magnitude lactation status.
    • Like in nature this is the "on button" in your mammaries for completely non-enhanced folks.
      • It has a duration of 100 combat rounds (which is naturally longer out of combat), more than long enough for those fast growing mutants.
  • Last Milking modifier removed from lactation percentage.
  • Being milked at a milker now increases your production, at first by 30%, then slowly decreasing as the statuses fall off.
  • Milk powers now increase milk production.
    • It works by adding 1% for each level of mastery of such powers.
      • For example Epic Lactaid would count for 4% and if you have Epic Milk Squirt you would get a total increase of 8% from the two combined.
        • This only applies if your milk production is under 100% and cannot exceed it (as it is the cap).
    • Cow Maidens get a bonus to milk production, being naturally acclimated to being milked very frequently.
      • Having Breast Care Supplies allows the player to keep this bonus when not actively using the Cow Maiden dedication.
  • Fixed critically malformed String Parsing in the following forms: Clownfish, Crimson Wyrm, Dark Elf Female, Female Lamia, Momma Bronto, Sexy Dragoness
    • Many other unlisted private forms were also fixed.
  • Removed the Collie Herm horniness code in the Victory/OVictory and restructured it to work again.
  • Dangerous Stimulants recipe now available in the wellness area of Zephyr.

  • Extra Filling is now +10 cum production.
  • Milk per day added, metric value not accurate yet.
  • Being a cow maiden now increases breast density for milk production by 50%
    • Having breast care supplies and being cow maiden passively also works now.
  • Furred flag hit with an orbital cannon. Again.
  • Endless Flow now increases ball and breast density when used.
  • Levels in Cow Girl train your breasts to be their best!
    • +10% per level.
  • New merits, Maximum Virility, Dry Well and Milky Jugs.
    • All three are classified as a Vanity perks.

  • Wasteland Survivor step 1, faction paperwork now allows you to select 'independent' as an option.

      • They get a bonus equal to their survival skill, up to 30.
        • Above 30 it slows down, but it will give more credit at 60 than 30.
