• [p]Reduced the nutritional value of seeds by lowering their weight. [/p]

[p][/p][p][/p]

• [p]scum.BaseBuildingDestructionLogDamageThreshold - With this setting, players can change the damage threshold for the base building destruction log, which outputs the last 10 instances of damage for each destroyed base building element. Only damage instances that would make more or the same damage as the threshold are logged. The values for this setting are the following:
  
  Minimum value - 0
  Default value - 20
  Maximum value - 999[/p]

[hr][/hr][p][/p][p]ADDITIONAL NOTES ON ITEM DECAY[/p][p]We’ve updated the default item decay damage multiplier where the value of 1.0 will now corresponds to what the 0.2 multiplier used to do.

Previously: A value of 1.0 caused roughly 7.5% decay per 24 hours.
Now: A value of 1.0 causes roughly 1.4% decay per 24 hours.

Having said that, we’ll be updating official servers from 0.2 → 1.0. We also recommend that private server owners who have adjusted this setting review their configurations and consider updating them accordingly.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]
As always, if something pops up and you've found that something slipped through the cracks, make sure to let us know via:
