[h2]BETA Update 1.44.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a case with the "Down the Drain" side quest where the full reward would not be given to the player (Sorry, this quest had a lot of stuff to test and this one seemed to slip through)


Changes & Additions:

Improved stash interface (Also improved the wardrobe interface attached)

Peaceful sleeper now gives an extra 10 condition from resting instead of 15
Added malnourished status effect (Only can apply to the main character - 10% reduced mettle/health, -1% AP regen, -1% Mettle Regen, -10 Initiative --- All you need to do is keep your condition above 0% to avoid this and eating will IMMEDIATELY remove it)
Reaching 0 condition will now automatically apply the malnourished status to the main character - Eat something! I made those items for a reason!
All nourishment items that are actual food will now immediately remove the malnourished status
Updated tutorial to mention malnourishment when at 0 condition
Optimized some old processes to be more efficient
Updated text color lists for different types of NPCs (Will be used for the next major update)

[h2]BETA Update 1.42.0 Changelog:[/h2]

Bug Fixes:

FIXED a dialogue loop issue


Changes & Additions:

Added a new dialogue roleplay choice in the "Down the Drain" side quest
Base inventory size for ALL companions and the main character is now 8 instead of 4 (So the minimum you can have is 12 now since it's 8 + muscle 
 4 and muscle always has to be at least 1 --- Feedback was that inventory size was too small after the recent changes)
Exo Frame inventory bonus increased from 60 to 80
Exo Frame renamed to Exoskeleton Rig
Added some metal plate platform pieces in metro stations to make them look a bit more defined and not so bland
Killing an enemy in combat will now benefit the mettle (Morale) of your squad by a random value between 3-5 (This also applies for enemies)
Added some general goodbye chat popups for some characters (Mostly traders)
Various other minor adjustments and tweaks
