- You can no longer repair items in combat, generally.
- The micromanipulator array implant now lets you repair items in combat at an action cost of one turn.

- Cases where chairs, beds, and enclosing furniture move or are picked up while someone is using them are now handled properly.
- Fixed a bug that caused psychic hunters to never spawn if you abandoned your original body.
