[h2]BETA Update 1.78.0 Change Log:[/h2]
Bug Fixes:
- FIXED an issue related to the "Contamination" world modifier (Food items didn't heal the correct amount)
- FIXED some text spacing issues in various dialogues
Changes & Additions:
- Finished work on the "Turncoat" side quest (Can be started in the FSM Headquarters inside of Freight Haven --- has two different ways it can play out)
- Added "Revenant" learnable talent (Costs 4 skill points, but makes you have awhopping 20% chance to survive fatal damage during combat --- if you have the military background, this triggers BEFORE your "Still Standing" ability, so you don't waste it)
- Added some new unique dialogues with unique NPCs
- Improved text formatting for some food items to better fit into the description windows
- Added refined bread consumable (Extremely cheap, extremely low in stat benefits, but considered "healty" in game - so it gives you a 5% heal on use)
- Differentiated the colors of the small, regular, and big backpack items so they are easier to tell apart
- Added used up cigarettes and crushed soda cans to some of the litter graphics (Really completes the environment in my opinion - such a simple change too)
- Added a new plot item
- Added 10 new combat soundtracks
- Basic/low grade medical items now have double the chance to spawn in random loot containers
- Added 3 new random companion chatters for all companions (Two unique, one generic)
- Slightly expanded all companion dialogues with some extra lines
- Added a new paydata data type (Journal entries --- this also increases the chance of having the paydata be actually worth money since it's another type that pays)
- Cleaned up some item icon art
- Civic background now starts with 2x pep-up pills but 2 less consumable items (Nourishment)
- Drug items are now colored in purple text
- Dangerous food items are now colored in orange text
- Updated the connected/disconnected images with some extra details
- Updated several shop listings
- Updated random container drop lists
- Cleaned up some old/outdated database entries
- Some various other minor tweaks and changes
