#### Patch 2.0.160.2 (07 January 2019)

* Mines and bombs have some new interaction options.
* Clones no longer get permanent copies of temporary limbs.
* You can no longer pour negative drams of liquids.
* Taking damage from a fire started by an unknown or dead culprit no longer breaks the resulting message text.
* Fixed some bugs that caused schematics drafters to lose their sale inventory and various merchants to restock gear not meant for sale.
* [modding] The Capacitor, Circuitry, Clockwork, EnergyCell, and Flywheel parts' TechScanChargeDisplayStyle field has been replaced with AltChargeDisplayStyle, and the string field AltChargeDisplayProperty has been added. This field specifies the intproperty that, if greater than zore on the player, causes the AltChargeDisplayStyle to be used. AltChargeDisplayProperty defaults to TechScannerEquipped except for Clockwork, which defaults to StructureScannerEnabled.
* [modding] There is a new charge display style, bio (for use in fields like ChargeDisplayStyle and AltChargeDisplayStyle).
* [modding] Added a new part, Biocapacitor. This is a subclass of Capacitor and identical except for different defaults: ChargeRate - 3, MaxCharge - 5000, MinimumChargeToExplode - 2500, Description - biocapacitor, ChargeDisplayStyle - bio, AltChargeDisplayProperty - BioScannerEnabled, and ChargeLossDisable - false.
* [modding] Added a new field to charge-storing parts, ConsiderLive. It's a bool that controls whether the part is considered to contain live charge that can be manipulated by effects restricted to live charge. It's set to false by default for LiquidFueledEnergyCell, LiquidFueledPowerPlant, Clockwork, and Flywheel, and true by default for Capacitor, Circuitry, and EnergyCell.
* [modding] The object specification syntax used in various contexts, most notably the default value of EnergyCellSocket.SlottedType, now uses @ to designate a population table specification instead of :. This change was made for consistency with other contexts.
* [modding] The ModifyAttackingSave and ModifyDefendingSave events now have a new int parameter, Actual, that's set to 1 if a save is actually being carried out and 0 if the system is prospectively retrieving save modifiers to estimate a save's chances. In the latter case, Roll and NaturalRoll both start at 0, though they may be modified by event handlers.
* [modding] The GenericInventoryRestocker part now restocks based on the population table in the tag GenericInventoryRestockerPopulationTable, not InventoryPopulationTable.

#### Update v1.1.7 (07 January 2019)

Hey all, quick patch with a few bug fixes.

Changelog

* Fixed bug where one of the Chicago tanks was always available regardless of the rank you started at. Unfortunately the fix only affects new sandbox games. Sorry about that!
* Cursor is now hidden in first person mode.
* Altered the way the game calculates whether a deep tank has been correctly connected to the floor in level 3.
* Fixed a minor graphical issue caused by moving stairs.

There's still a ton of smaller tweaks/features that I'm itching to get into
the game over the next few weeks but the next major feature I'm planning to
work on will be some kind of smart search/filtering system for the build menu
to make it easier to find things (especially animals) in the later stages of
the game.

Exciting stuff!
