Awesome...is the Hindren patch here yet, or will that just be combined when it leaves beta?

Changelog for Patch 2.0.153.0 (added 15 October 2018) - Part I:

* New item: anti-gravity boots.
* Your clones no longer pass on their inspirations for meal ideas to you.
* Evil twins no longer spawn during game initialization, resulting in half-formed twins.
* Villagers who give dynamic quests no longer confusingly wander around their villages.
* Rehabilitated some jumbled outcomes for the Kith and Kin quest.
* Corrected the rhyme scheme of the procedural love poem.
* Dawngliders and fruit flies now correctly have wings.
* Ceremonial vibrokhopeshes now have a boot sequence and power source, though it's a power source you don't have to worry about getting disabled under most circumstances. _Most_ circumstances.
* Animated walls and doors no longer continue rendering in their updated position when out of your sight.
* Grit Gate now shows up highlighted in the alt display.
* Made the appearance and behavior of the interaction menu 'look' command more consistent with regular look.

* Ruin recoilers now have their name displayed as random-point recoiler on their tinkering recipe instead of using a specific recoiler location.
* Auto-explore no longer attempts to open empty chests and bookshelves.
* Fixed a bug that was preventing all desert canyon encounters from generating. These included apple farms, pig farms, snapjaw forts, and Stopsvalinn.
* Fixed a bug that caused the salt dunes alternate start to not correctly grant reputation with the unshelled reptiles faction.
* Fixed a bug that allowed you to choose campfire options even when they were greyed out because you didn't have the appropriate skills.
* Fixed a bug that caused the feathered and scaled mods to sometimes inappropriately modify the player's reputation when equipped and unequipped by non-player creatures.

* Fixed Freezing Hands and Flaming Hands having incorrect damage listed in their level-up preview dialogs.
* Fixed a bug that caused twinning lampreys to spawn too many twins.

[modding] Added some new properties to the MechanicalWings part.

* Type: a string like AntigravityBoots used to differentiate the events used by different MechanicalWings parts. This facilitates having multiple sources of equipment-based flight.
* FlightSourceDescription: a string added to the display text of the Fly and Land abilities. Use it to differentiate between different types of equipment-based flight.

Changelog for Patch 2.0.153.0 (added 15 October 2018) - Part II:

We changed the way we calculate AV and DV from equipment across similar body parts:
* Previously, creatures always received AV and DV modifiers from equipment equipped on any body part that was part of their original body plan. Body parts added later (e.g., via mutations such as Multiple Legs) were treated differently; equipment equipped on these parts didn't have their AV and DV modifiers factored into the creature's final AV and DV calculations. This approach generally worked well until a recent patch where we added more realistic body plans for several creature types. The old system gave creatures with several natural body parts (e.g., spiders and crabs) an unintended advantage; they could stack AV or DV simply by equipping a bunch of armor to their limbs. For example, a spider could stack AV by equipping four sets of steel boots. We changed the calculation to be more simulative. Now, AV and DV modifiers are averaged across all similar body parts. The example spider now has the AV and DV modifiers from its Feet equipment averaged over all four sets of feet.
* Rounding is done once for each of the total AV and DV tallies. We round away from zero. For example, if you have two Feet slots and you wear a pair of +3AV/-3DV boots on one of them, assuming no other armor modifications, you'll get +2 AV and -2 DV.
* If the AV/DV calc results in a piece of equipment contributing more or less AV or DV than its stats imply, the display color of that stat is changed (red for 'contributing less' and green for 'contributing more'). An explanation is also appended to the item's description.
* We removed the UI elements that explained which slots don't contribute to AV or DV as they're no longer relevant.
* We changed snakeskin armlet to +2 DV and tread guards to +2 AV. This change replicates their balance in the old system since -- generally speaking -- you have two arms and, with the motorized treads implant, two treads.
* Equipment bonuses and penalties other than AV and DV are still contributed individually per body part.

We generalized the effects of normality gas and made them variable instead of binary:
* To support this change, we added two new status effects: astrally burdened and astrally tethered. Burdened creatures have difficulty performing actions that morph spacetime. Tethered creatures can't perform those actions at all.
* The density of normality gas now determines whether it bestows the burdened or tethered effect on things it shares a tile with.
* Astral effects now interdict Clairvoyance and Precognition.
* Added normality fields.
* Added a new piece of rare furniture: norm core.
* Added a new item: ontological anchor.

* Historic relics found outside of historic sites now have much better generated names.
* If you have motorized treads, you can no longer use the interaction menu equip and autoequip commands to inappropriately equip footgear on your lower body.
* Puddles on the ground are now displayed under the Liquids category.
* The following items no longer modify your reputation if equipped inappropriately (i.e. held or put in the thrown weapon slot): croccasins, blood-stained neck-ring, goggles, mirrorshades, Issachari banner, Issachari sun veil, mechanical wings, gyrocopter backpack, portable beehive, leafy helm, leafy vest, symbiotic firefly, puma chitin vest, ape fur cloak, ape fur gloves, ape fur hat, electric snail shell, fork-horned helmet, fungal infections, the Ruin of House Isner, engraved items, painted items, jewel-encrusted items, figurines, and reputation-altering relics.
* Scavenging through trash now yields items based on the depth the trash was found in, not the depth it was rifled through.
* Fixed a bug that allowed you to gain arbitrary amounts of reputation while dominating a creature by removing and re-equipping gear on your original body.
* Fixed a bug with cooking in the Rainbow Wood.
* Fixed a bug that caused swarm racks not to fire.
* Fixed a bug that broke flamethrowers.
* [modding] The IActivePart part base has a new boolean property, WorksOnEquipper, to specify that the item only works if the item is properly equipped (in an armor slot if it has the Armor part, and held otherwise). AddsRep and EquipStatBoost have this property set to true by default, and the WorksHeld argument has been removed from EquipStatBoost.AppendBoostOnEquip().
* [modding] AddsRep is now an IActivePart, inheriting its properties and supported functionality.
* [modding] DeploymentGrenade's UsabilityEvent is now sent to the grenade object instead of the cell it lands in.
* [modding] Added an item property, RealityStabilization, that generates astral burdening and tethering effects. It has the following properties: Visibility (number 0-3, 0 = effect produced is invisible, 1 = effect shows up in look, 2 = effect shows up in look + has a render effect, 3 = shows up in look + has more dramatic render effect; defaults to 2), SelfVisibility (the visibility to use on the effect the object applies to itself, if any; defaults to 0), UseCharge (if > 0, the part runs on energy cell charge and the strength of the effect produced depends on the remaining charge in the cell. Anything over 2500 charge use Strength = 100), FromGas (the Strength of the effect produced is equal to the density of the Gas part of the item), Strength (if specified, explicitly sets the effect's base strength, overriding UseCharge and FromGas), VariableStrength (die roll; if specified, the higher of the result and the value set for Strength will be used), HitpointsAffectPerformance (whether the strength of the effect produced is reduced in proportion to damage to the item, defaults to false), CellEffect (whether the item puts its effects on things in the same cell as it, defaults to true), AffectsSelf (whether the item puts its effect on itself, defaults to true), WorksOnEquip (whether the item puts its effect on someone equipping it regardless of how it's equipped, defaults to false), WorksOnEquipAsArmor (whether the item puts its effect on someone equipping it if they're equipping it in the proper slot according to its Armor part), and Projective (whether the effect produced can potentially affect tiles the subject of the effect is trying to move to; defaults to false). Devices whose effects might be interdicted by astral tethering can have an intproperty, called RealityStabilizationPenetration, which will be subtracted from the effective strength of tethering effects the devices are contesting.
* [modding] Added a RealityDistortionBased flag to several mutations. Use it to control whether a mutation's effects are interdicted by astral tethering. Mutations affected: Clairvoyance, Precognition, Psychometry, Sense Psychic, Telepathy, Domination, Sunder Mind, Syphon Vim, and Beguiling. The flag is on by default for Clairvoyance, Precognition, and Psychometry.
* [modding] Added a new part, DeploymentMaintainer, for items. It is an IPoweredPart and has the inherited properties. Its own properties include: Blueprint (the blueprint of the objects it creates), Duration (how long the objects last, die roll, defaults to null i.e. permanent), Radius (integer radius it fills with objects, or -1 for every tile in the zone), Chance (the percentage chance a given tile will receive an object, defaults to 100), AtLeast (a minimum number of objects to try to deploy when Chance is in use, defaults to 0), MaintenanceInterval (the number of turns that must pass between attempts at maintaining the deployment, defaults to 10), UsabilityEvent (an event that must be successfully fired on the tile the item is in in order for the item to work, defaults to null i.e. none), AccessibilityEvent (an event that must be successfully fired on a given tile in its radius in order to deploy an object there, defaults to null i.e. none), ActiveMaintenance (whether objects deployed are actively maintained by the item and disappear if it is nonfunctional, defaults to true), RealRadius (whether to deploy in a circular radius rather than the usual engine square radius), BlockedBySolid (whether solid tiles block deployment, defaults to true), BlockedByNonEmpty (whether tiles must be empty for deployment, defaults to true), Seeping (whether BlockedBySolid use seeping logic where objects like stakes don't block), DustPuffEach (whether each deployed object generates a dust puff, defaults to false), NoXPValue (whether objects with XP value get it cleared out, defaults to true), and LinkRealityStabilization (whether to configure the deployment maintainer, which should have a RealityStabilization part, as an effect strength source on any RealityStabilization parts on deployed objects).

Changelog for Patch 2.0.157.1 (added 22 November 2018):

* We made Tam, dromad merchant, better able to defend himself.
* You can now cook with salt, asphalt, and cloning draught.
* Liquids bought from the alchemist can now be cooked with.
* Meals cooked from village ovens no longer ever bestow a permanent +1 AV.
* Cooking recipe names are now more varied (there'll be less names like Baklava with Smoked Baklava on top of Baklava).
* Adjusted the way fish and farmers feel about each other.
* Data disk descriptions now indicate if you already know their blueprint.
* Once open, the double doors in Grit Gate no longer permanently re-lock if you close them.
* NPCs now don't want to trade their natural weapons as often.
* NPCs are now smarter about what equipment they use.
* NPCs no longer compulsively remove old gear before equipping new gear.
* Fixed a bug that caused companion NPCs not to consider whether they should equip new gear after you trade with them through via the chat menu.
* If you recruit Indrix after completing his quest, he no longer immediately equips the amaranthine prism.
* Wardens Esther now equips her shield.
* NPCs no longer attempt to fire missile weapons at targets further away than their weapons' maximum range.
* NPCs are now willing to fire missile weapons and throw thrown weapons at targets that are occluded by other hostile creatures.
* Fixed a bug that caused NPCs to not fire heavy missile weapons at targets protected by force fields.
* Recycling suits, portable beehives, and other liquid-generating equipment no longer generate liquid when unequipped or equipped improperly.
* Pathfinding now prefers not to walk over ironshrooms.
* Wearing multiple compass bracelets no longer cumulatively reduces your chance of getting lost.
* Burrowers now more pointedly prefer moving through open space to burrowing. This means villages of burrowers won't demolish their dwellings quite so quickly.
* The default action when interacting with trash is now (usually) 'rifle' if you have access to it.
* When you have multiple flight effects active, the reduction to your chance of getting lost is now based on the flight effect that gives you the most beneficial result.
* Uninstalling the giant hands implant now unequips any two-handed items you're wielding.
* Two-handed items that prevent themselves from being unequipped are no longer one-hand equippable with the giant hands implant.
* Fixed a bug in weapon penetration display that caused your strength modifier to be double counted.
* Added a new debug option: 'Show debug text for chance of getting lost'. When enabled, your chance of getting lost is displayed as you move across the world map.
* Puffer fungi now only puff if there is something nearby that they are not friendly to.
* Force fields that overlap with normal walls no longer produce a broken tile image.
* There is now an interaction menu option to gently wake up a sleeping NPC.
* [modding] Removed most of the extraneous XPvalue stats on creature blueprints.
* [modding] The NavigationBonus part is now an IPoweredPart with that class's fields and WorksOnEquipper = true. Its Amount field is now a string PercentBonus die roll that defaults to 10. It has the following new fields:-- SingleApplicationKey -- a string that, if provided, is used as the name of an event parameter that the part sets on events it is applied to. It won't modify events that already have the event parameter, so that navigation bonuses can be made non-cumulative.-- TravelClass -- a string used to specify a skill name, like the TravelClass attribute on terrain objects, so that the part only applies to travel in that skill's specified terrain.-- ShowInShortDescription -- a boolean for whether the part appends its behavior to the item's short description, defaults to true.

Changelog for Patch 2.0.160.2 (added 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.
