NEW

- Finalized first draft of a system for reverse engineering recipes from items.

• If a player can learn any recipes from an item with this system, right-clicking on the item will provide a right-click option with a light bulb option to "Research Craft".

• Additionally, in debug mode, right-clicking will reveal all of the information regarding researchable recipes.

• Researching an item's craftRecipe will also grant the same amount of xp as performing that craftRecipe would provide.

• If an item has researchable recipe(s) for a player, the item's tooltip will include, in prominent good-color text, that information.

• Includes Tech-tree-progression via item recipe research for tongs (from pliers and vise grips); shears and scissors; and lower tier knife progression; many baseball bat, spiked club, and mace type weapon recipes; tree branch, wooden stick, large branch/cudgel, medium handle, baseball bat and short bat type weapons, axes, and fleshing tools.

- Improved Vertical Aiming.

• Added up and down aiming angles for weapons

• Added missing event back into HandgunDefault.xml to properly transition zombies to correct hit reaction

- Added HandWeapon.isSelectFire() and .cycleFireModes() - Pressing shift + rack (default x) will now cycle through fire modes for select fire weapons - Guns can now have a safety by adding "Safe" to the list of fire mode possibilities (none of the base guns currently have this) - Added new Player Customisation Screen. - Added 2 new animations for stopping a spear charge (holding a spear while Sprinting). - Added 'Disable' choice to sandbox options for electric and water shutoff dates. - Added/Restored some Annotated Stash Maps. - Added six new flyers, fixed Wizard's Den flyer - AMZ Steel, Home Sweet Gnome, Roxy's Roller Rink, Spiffo's Hiring (West Point, Dixie, Louisville) - Updated Blacksmith van texture. - Added visible Clay Deposits. It is now possible to take clay from clay tiles (WIP). - Added a Wooden Masons Trowel and a recipe for carving one. - Added a Bone Fleshing Tool and a recipe for carving one. - Added large and small plant drying racks made from sticks and rags; this is so players can build them without needing twine.

- Double-clicking an entry in the list of builds or handcraft panel will build it. - Added Blacksmith, Butcher, Leather, MobileLibrary, and Glass Vans.

• The Blacksmith Van has smithing-related supplies and literature as well as most of the equipment found in the Metalworking van.

• The Butcher Van has tools required to hang/process meat as well as handle some of the mess.

• The Leather Van has tanned hides ready for use, as well as plenty of Awls.

• MobileLibrary has a high chance for Skill Books across the board; note, these should not spawn normally in Louisville or its airport, as these are generally used for rural areas/smaller communities.

- Added native support for Apple Silicon Macs (as well as Intel Macs, as before). Mac users: please let us know of any issues.

- Added SurvivorSwap.lua debugging tool.

• This adds a few functions to modify a survivor's appearance, skills, traits, profession, as well as completely change the inventory and worn gear based on data defined in a Lua table. These can be called mid-game.

• Definitions added to the SurvivorSwap.Survivors and SurvivorSwap.Loadouts tables will be automatically added to world context RMC > [Debug] > Survivor Swap (no definitions are currently added so this submenu will not appear)
