Updates 6-4-2026

• Fixed an error message that would pop up if someone with cephalopod tentacles became winded.

• Computer Hackers now start with hackPRO on their laptop.

• Drone Operators now start with a smartphone instead of a cell phone, and a laptop with robOS on it.

• Underwear is now randomized at chargen.

• Underwear itemgroups no longer contain swimsuits or other non-underwear items.

• The undershirt was redundant as the tank top already existed. Removed the undershirt and replaced it in all instances with a tank top.

• Destriers can now see a few tiles at night, instead of being totally blind.

• Added the truffle pig, a fungal version of the zombie pig. This is an armored pig that explodes into spores when it dies.

• Fixed spore explosions for the fungal monsters which have them.

• Reduced the incidence of fungal outbreaks in mansions and orchards.

• Fixed up some monstergroups.

• Renamed the intensity 1 Nicotine effect to Nicotione Buzz.

• Mostly fixed ravines in Innawood. They no longer have huge squares of open terrain under the ledge. There are still a couple of issues, but it's an improvement.

DDA Backports:

• Backported a major fix for crafting slowdown that has plagued the game for many years. Crafting is now MUCH faster.

• Backported a ton of updates to crafting from DDA. These set up most of the remaining stuff for recipe steps, including allowing for crafting recipes to have unattended steps now. This is currently implemented with the bread recipe, which allows you to walk away while the dough rises.

• Neutral monsters can also move up and down stairs, not just hostile.

• Fixed some cases where the player could see NPCs through gaps but NPCs could not see back.

• Fixed some weirdness that was going on with vehicle wrecks spawning.

• Improved performance in inventory menus.

• Fixed regional terrain not working properly when spawning at Z levels other than 0.

• Backported a fix to an issue that was causing error message spam when near the burned_ground map special.

• Backported two performance improvements for spawning items when maps are generated. This should generally increase performance when walking or driving around in new areas.

• Backported a fix for a rare case where monsters making 0 volume sounds could freeze the game.
