Changes

• Reworked debug lister menu to handle large numbers of options. Also added a type-in filter.

• Filled out storyteller moddability.
• Finished refactoring map generation into encapsulated, parameterized steps.
• Thick rock roofs now drop ‘collapsed rocks’ instead of solid rocks.
• Disallowed building very close to the map edge. This discourages weird building patterns that exploit edges and corners and stress game systems.
• Resource lister now counts meals.
• Started automatic hunting. So far, colonists can go kick animals to death. Doesn’t work so well for boomrats.
• Moved JobDefs into XML.
• Job reports like “Hauling Metal.” or “Eating meal.” are now in JobDef, not code.
• Finished automated hunting. Colonists will hunt with guns or melee attacks.

• Aptitude has become “average of relevant skills” out of 20 to reduce confusion.
• Damage types are now defined in xml definitions.
• Recipes can now give skills.

• Raiders come from specific factions and don’t always drop from orbit.
• Bedding in and debugging generated faction system.
• Tribal raiders now spawn and attack. Created short bow, great bow, and handful-of-stones weapons.
• Solidified faction relations. They are now reported on the faction overview.
• Pawns of warring factions now fight.
• Let pawns spawn with minigun and L-15 LMG.
• Refactored gun spawning system to work by tech level, spawn tags, and pawn kind money.
• Pawns now spawn with backstories from appropriate spawn category for their faction.
• Started trying to fix save/load.
• Restricted hairdos by faction. No more pirates or tribals in pigtails.
• Mods list is now scrollable.
• Can now individually hide zones.
• Tribals now have special names (no more tribal Bob Smiths).
• All pawn kinds can now carry stuff in their inventory, like silver, and will spawn with some. Hooray, a reason to attack people!
• Faction spawning is now data-driven.
• XML loader now warns on finding no usable defs in a file.
• XML loader now warns and explains on finding anything besides a proper
• tag inside a list element.
• You can now call factions on the radio and talk to them. You can offer them silver to improve relations.
• Colonists don’t get sad about being in darkness until they haven’t seen a light for 3-4 hours.
• Corpses can now rot.
• Pawns now spawn with randomized goodies. Yay, something to steal!
• Faction relations change over time.
• For modders: Beauty and TransmitsPower are now overridable properties of Things and Buildings.
• Launch pad replaced with orbital trade beacon. Trade system clarification commences.
• Mental break probability is much lower.
• Colonists will now sleep on the ground if exhausted.
• Bills no longer vanish on hitting zero count (you can reactivate them without reconfiguring them).

• It is now impossible to place a hopper in an invalid position.
• Modders can now create custom Def subclasses.
• Modders can now make custom code to define building placement restricters.
• Colonists now undraft themselves if they’ve been doing nothing for at least a quarter of a day and there are no enemies on the map.
• Merged architect and direct mode code for displaying commands. Direct mode now displays commands for selected things along the bottom of the screen, the same way Architect mode does.
• Game can now natively load dictionaries of data with def references as keys or values.
• Reworked early-game alerts into a todo list style. “Need growing zone”. “Build a room”. And so on.
• Now, if someone tries to get food from a paste dispenser fails, they first try to fill it, even without being assigned as a hauler or cook.
• Corpse hauling is now globally prioritized above other hauling.
• Right-click prioritize menu now gives sensible reasons why actions cannot be prioritized (e.g. haul -> “no place configured to store this”)
• Bill dialog now warns you if you add a bill that no colonist has the skill to do.
• Drafted pawns now automatically beat adjacent fires.
• Redesigned AI King into a proper state machine so it can handle more complex multi-faction combats and more intricate goals.
• Refactored traveler behavior as a king of squad directive, so you can have traveling groups who stay together.
• The tutor now properly teaches about the bills tab.
• Humanoids no longer eat raw food unless they are near-starving at least.
• Faction relations now measured on a -100 to 100 scale instead of 0-100.
• Roughed in a way to call allies for combat aid. If they like you enough, they’ll send a group of friendly fighters to help you. Useful in a pinch against tough raids.

• Can no longer place a no roof region where there is a thick roof.
• Friendly factions will not help you fight their own friends.
• Built up and redesigned AI code so factions can fight each other properly.
• Staging enemies no longer assault you on sight. They will hold their staging position and defend. Hopefully pre-emptive attacks become more meaningful this way.
• Enemies now stage attacks for randomized amounts of time.
• Ally forces now hang around a reasonable point near your base if there are no enemies. After some time, they leave together as a group (they become travelers).
• If harmed, traveling groups stop and defend as a group. They resume traveling if they are not harmed for some time.
• Roughed in visitor event: groups from non-hostile factions visit the colony, chill for a while, and leave.
• You can now suspend bills without deleting or modifying them for easy later reactivation.
• AI will now immediately store items after creating them at a bench (if there are multiple items, the first one will be automatically insta-stored). This is part of the crafting job and is independent of hauling.
• Testing and grinding down bugs produced over the past few weeks.
• Various minor usability improvements.
• Spent a while de-spaghettifying map initialize code, as well as moving the world data out of the map itself.
• Colonists now start out with the work types they’re best at enabled, instead of everyone having the same settings.
• New alerts make tiny bell noises.
• Different teams have different color names by randomly shading within the red range (hostile) or blue range (neutral). So you can tell apart two different hostile groups.
• Guns are now visible in peoples’ hands when aiming or in certain other circumstances.
• Most code-driven text can now be translated. Most text is now linked to the translation system.
• Rain now slowly washes away blood.
• In the bill interface: made Make X and Make Until exclusive. Gave them separate short form outputs.
• Designation categories (Orders, Buildings, Furniture, Zones, etc) are now data-driven. Modders can add new ones.
• Thing categories (for storage settings, etc) are now modular defs. They can be localized, and modders can add new ones without replacing the whole tree.
• Fertilizer pump mod integrated into core.
