Multiplayer Updates

The following is a list of updates made to the game since it entered open beta in 2011.

For planned future updates, see Nuku's six month plan at http://checkvist.com/checklists/97925-six-month-plan.

January

8th

Subscribers now get access to all roles, as though every role has been learned.
- To celebrate, have some new combat skills. Vampiric, Bewitched, Tar Baby, Taunting Strikes, Rage, Sacrificial Fury all added.
- A *lot* of [[Role]s were added to make use of these new skills.
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!
Speed role now makes your next turns come faster. 50/100/150 out of 1000 baseline.

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 ~~1.5~~ 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 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

Coffee Hypo recipe added to Zephyr Employee Wellness Center.
Enduring Effect recipe modifier added to the Hidden Camp in Bozeman, Montana. Head to Fairhaven Park to be flown there, or access it directly via the web interface.
- And if you've missed any recipes, the web store now displays if you know them or not.
All instances of negative HealResist have been renamed HealGain.
The elite stores now stock profession skills! While in your inventory, they boost their specified profession skill by 1 point.
Lumberjack Role added. Combat skills: Enduring Minions, Tactician, Penetration.
- Someone is claiming that the SWAT Team Leader role has existed for a while, but the jury's still out. The important thing is that it has Mastermind, Controlled Burst, and Penetration.
Enveloping Pain coded.

3rd

Web Crafting page now at least three times as useful. http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?craft
- Displays calculated values on crafted items, such as how deadly your Heavy Improved Poisoned Aerosol really is.
- Expendable items now display quantity created.
RSX now has a mission giver! Talk to Venice on the second floor, eastern room.
- New instances and new mission areas added as well, for Woodfield only. Woodfield gets love!
Comm titles adjusted. No comma after them, so chat appears like this: [Public] SCIENCE! Venator watches Nuku churn through her excessive number of requests.
String parsing now supports [if (person) is/is not herm] or [if (person) is/is not neuter].
A new area has been brought to Woodfield, containing the Nanite Mage infection!

2nd

Freecred throttling is now in effect! A freecred percentage of <30% gives 50% bonus cred, <150% has no bonus or penalty, and >150% divides your earnings by your percentage.
- This applies to trinket values as well.
Damagereturn changed in good and bad ways:
- No longer triggers on damage auras like Slime Toss or Electric Field.
- Ignores 66% of damage resistance instead of 50%.
Healthwidth command: specify how long you want the health bars to be. Useful for big screens and big clients.
A mysterious masked essayist is writing help files about detailed combat topics! See http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?help/advanced%20combat%20tips and be educated!
- Or, more directly, this one on power selection and this one on upgrade selection!

1st

Happy New Year! There's a badge for sale in the Mako shop! Today only!
Happy New Year! You just got a lot more options in your AI list on the web client!
- Also in AI: Children now count as 'on cooldown' if they are present. You can safely set the AI to always summon them.
- Autocombat priorities except for -1 removed. Outdated information: http://flexiblesurvival.com/index?help/Auto
- AI now understands Equipment for free. Other AI programs added to Rsx's shop.
A whole lot of recipe mods were modified, including: Hair Triggered, Rapid Cooling, Poisoned, Optimized, Extra Lethal, Sticky, and Subtle!
- And Thunderous.
Fairhaven Park has been opened! It contains Honey Bear, Honey Bee, Parasitic Plant, and releases the White Unicorn Mare to the general public. 6th Street 7500.
Recursor added to the elite shops.
