* Breeding messages will now be much less enlightening to those in the room wearing a blindfold.
 
* +request/quick no longer swaps the category and subject.
 
* help supporter and help mako pool updated slightly.
 
* Vanity perk pool implemented.
 
** Vanity perks consume your vanity perk points first before resorting to your normal perk points.
 
* [[Fell off the Truck]] perk removed.
 
** Or something completely different. Hmm.
 
* [[Nanite Tattoos]] are for sale in the mall, allowing you to add markings to yourself for all manner of thing.
 
** Do up interesting scars, or show your everliving love for someone!
 
** Yours for about 29k cred.
 
** They are permanent, unless overwritten, and do adjust your description.
 
* Neither @viewparse nor the string parsing engine will cry out when something includes the | character in a parsing-block anymore.
 
* [[Discreet Victory]] perk added and coded.
 
* The default human avatar has been altered and the avatar caches have been cleared.
 
* New command "salvagespend" will "throw away" salvage for RP reasons.
 
* Support for infection of each cock or cunt is now added.
 
** If you are infected in your groin, ALL your bits will become that infection.
 
** All other infections have a 50% chance to infect either an extra cock or cunt that you have.
 
* +mut updated to show infection info on extra infected cocks/cunts.
 
* +groin will once again properly hide those parts you just don't have in the part-listing.
 
* [[Modest Organs]] now has proper exclusions set.
 
 
 
'''17th'''
 
* Since sources that come out of planar crates do not have a proper 'materials used' prop, staff have decided to give them -all- a blanket 3 X modifier to the amount of material they create.
 
* Pregnant status should not skip you immediately to 3rd trimester in appearance on 1st point.
 
* +request/quick command added.
 
* You now must disable any disable-able item before giving it to another player.
 
* [[Spreader Bar]] coded and available in the mako store for 10.
 
* Horned flag removed.
 
** Only one infection used it.
 
* Miscellaneous flag cleanup and bugfixes.
 
* Fixed a bug that caused the [[Cock Milker|cock milker]] to not record infections properly.
 
* [[Cum Vial|Cum vials]] will now track the donor.
 
** Previous vials did not. They weren't tracking infections properly.
 
* [[Artificial Inseminator]] is now available in the lower section of Zephyr.
 
* When using view in a store, mastery is properly reported.
 
* New avatar color: Lawn Green.
 
* [[Wasteland Survivor]] step 1, faction paperwork now allows you to select 'independent' as an option.
 
** This sets your faction to "Survivor".
 
* If you are in the Survivor faction and are defeated and respawn, your amount of wounds will be increased randomly.
 
** This depends on how long it takes for NPC agents to respond to your distress call.
 
** You will also be charged a small amount of freecred for the luxury.
 
* <s>Any equipment a Survivor uses will gain the [[Expiring]] modifier, requiring repairs to keep working.
 
** You don't have access to a crack team of technicians and extra tools anymore. You're on your own.
 
** Since Survivors have to repair their stuff all the time, they are now better at it.
 
*** 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.
 
***** This means a survivor with survival 30 gets 30% off all repairs!
 
* Survivor effect on repair halved.</s>
 
* Alright, replacing the maligned repair system, survivors now have to eat.
 
** This is automatic.
 
** You rack up 1 point of hunger per hour, to a maximum of 5 hunger points.
 
*** When triggered (by anything that checks cred energy), you nibble at 1 common edible salvage per point of hunger.
 
** Going into negative edible salvage gives debuffs that get more and more severe as you stagger about the wastes wishing for a hamburger.
 
* Chandler Hospital suddenly has a supply of faction changing paperwork for cheap!
 
* New modifier: [[Durable]].
 
* Item stat - Repair Time, coded.
 
** Adds/subtracts that percentage from repair time of the item, meaning 100 repair time is double time between repairs!
 
* Durable available from the secret survivalist shop.
 
* Survivors no longer void warranties on their equipment.
 
* New group perk: [[Food Rationing]].
 
* You should, in theory, be able to give 'all' in the place of a rarity for salvage and it will give all rarities.
 
* You can now type 'renew' to spend 1 patrol point and regain all hp and energy.
 
** This only works out of battle.
 
** Trying to use renew will cause you to regain patrol points, if you are owed any.
 
* Attempting to use renew when already at full hp and energy will politely decline.
 
* Within the great [[Nordic Temple]] (brought to you by Zephyr, because it costs), you can find the dedication to Odin
 
** But...if you're the witty sort, you can also gain Loki's boons, too.
 
* Thanks to your support (see goals) a new recipe is born!
 
** Grab the [[Power Driller]] over in Eureka's military cantina.
