We tweaked some of the parameters around fungal infections.
Have you contracted glowcrust? Are you wondering why you grow a fungal outcrop body part that's always unequipped? It's supposed to periodically grow luminous hoarshrooms that you can eat. Today, we fixed this unfortunate bug. Glowcrust apologizes for appearing like a parasite when it's clearly a symbiote.
Reduced the frequency of brooding azurepuffs and brooding goldpuffs in high-tier fungal biomes.
Ichor merchants now always sell desalination pellets.
Lowered the cost of desalination pellets.
We added a guaranteed apothecary and ichor merchant to the SE corner of the Stiltgrounds.
Slightly lowered the cost of Corpus Choliys.
When someone in a party kills a monster, they now gain XP based on their level, not the level of the creature that struck the killing blow. This change means that your lower-leveled followers, like beguiled creatures, gain XP at the correct rate.
Dominated creatures now gain XP.
The unstable genome mutation picker is now scrollable and displays details for each mutation option.
We split the option to allow mouse input into two options: 'Allow mouse input' and 'Allow mouse movement'. This change lets you enable mouse input without worrying about accidentally click-moving.
Gave Phinae Hoshaiah some basic dialog.
Fixed a bug that caused procedurally generated books to be worth nothing.
Fixed an issue causing ruin-based maps to fail to build past level 29 in the underground.
Added a chronology event for cloning yourself.

If you return to the surface from world map, without moving on the world map, you will return to the same location on the surface.

Fixed an exception caused by a bogus item called FungusPuffer3.

Fixed an exception caused by monster AI using the area of effect abilities.

We found and fixed a bug with Shank that contributed to its arguably broken power level. In addition to its current effect, it was also improperly reducing your target's AV by 2 as a holdover from its previous iteration.
Baetyls now accept all items with the same display name as the item they ask for. This change addresses situations where baetyls seemed to ignore what they asked for, but were really expecting another item with the same display name.
Birds have been removed from the faction encounters that can occur near Joppa.
Slime-spitting creatures in slimy biomes now correctly spit slime instead of [empty].
The opening story that you get upon arriving in Joppa now displays when the new UI is enabled.
Pouring freshwater on the skin now properly hydrates amphibious creatures.
Tam, the dromad merchant, no longer appears in underground caves.
Added support for yes/no popup dialogs to the new UI.
Added support for yes/no/cancel popup dialogs to the new UI.
The Escape key now properly quits string-input dialogs in the new UI.
The Enter key on the keypad now closes 1-button popup meus.
Fixed an issue causing some NPCs to reload their missile weapons before they needed to.
Fixed 1-point mutations still being included in the choices offered by unstable genome when you had either the Esper or Chimera morphotype.
Fixed a few map building recursion loops caused by horned chameleons.
Fixed an ASCII display error in fungal biomes.
[modding] You can now adjust the multiple of your agility modifier that Shank adds to penetration rolls. It's accessible in GlobalConfig.json.

We refactored the population of ruins maps.
Tweaked the baseline populations of underground ruins to be slightly more challenging.
Ruins now include a variety of special encounters found in underground caves.
Underground ruins no longer have the same flora as surface ruins.
We did some work on the new UI.
Added a multiple choice dialog.
Added buttons for increasing and decreasing the message log font size.
Fixed some missing ASCII character mappings.
Fixed some popup menus overflowing the screen.
Reduced the number of mutation points granted by the Amphibious defect from 4 to 3.
Fixed a big bug with movespeed calculation. Getting your movespeed above 100 now properly makes you move faster.
Things with brains no longer catch on fire when standing in the same tile as a campfire.
Let's say you mentally dominate a baboon, level up, and want to buy some skills for your baboon friend/thrall. Previously, based on the way NPC attributes were calculated, sometimes you couldn't purchase the skill even if your thrall had the prerequisite attributes. Now you can.
Tusks are no longer a substitute for horns. After all, tusks are teeth.
1-point mutationts are no longer included in the choices when you buy a mutation.
When you buy a new mutation, exclusions defined in mods are now properly respected.
Creatures no longer fail to equip their natural weapons, like claws and bites, when they're stuck in webs or sticky liquids.
The special event in the A Call to Arms quest no longer resets when you save and load in the middle of it.
Added a downward staircase to the center-right of the Barathrumite enclave in Grit Gate. These stairs let you descend through Barathrum's study level to the underlevels of Grit Gate.
Renamed the fungal jungle to The Rainbow Wood in the sidebar and message log.
Added salt pool and asphalt pool objects. Their absence was causing [empty] liquids to appear.
Fixed an issue with displaying of Warden Indrix's dialog.
Fixed an exception with arconaut and Mechanimist pilgrim shopping behavior.
Fixed a bug with domination that was causing maps to be remain and memory, leading to a slow but crushing memory leak.
Fixed a rare exception during light rendering.
Fixed a formatting issue with the opening Joppa story.

Brian is out of town for a week starting tomorrow, so there will be no patch next week, and we're posting this week's patch today. In the mean time, Jason will be working on our next feature arc, procedural histories for the Eater-Sultans of Qud! More info to come.

We fixed portable wall and changed how it works.
Portable wall is now a consumable item that creates 9 contiguous wall tiles in a pattern of your choosing.
Added a description to portable wall.
Added a new wall type: foamcrete.
In rusty biomes, qudzu now tend to cluster on walls, where they can.
New UI: multiple-choice dialogs and popups are now navigable via the keyboard or gamepad.
New UI: multiple-choice dialogs now respect hotkeys.
Player names are now trimmed of whitespace. This means typing 'space' and pressing 'Enter' while naming your character now gives your character a random name.
We made a few tweaks to the process of curing fungal infections.
Leech corpses and bloated leech corpses now have distinct display names. This change means it's now clear which corpse is required for the fungal cure, hopefully eliminating the specific frustration of thinking you've cured your infection when you really haven't.
Salt kraken corpses and worm of the earth corpses are no longer included as possible fungal cure components.
We tweaked the position of the stairwell leading to the lower levels of Grit Gate again. We removed the stairwell added last week, and made the old stairwell in the upper-right corner of the map accessible once you complete the quest 'More Than a Willing Spirit'.
Tinkers now start with freshwater.
The empty glass bottles sold by ichor merchants now properly store liquids.
Fixed a broken sand dune tile on the world map.
Fixed an issue with creature pathing when phased.
The water baron lobby has won a great victory: you can no longer net extra water by pouring water into a pool of more water.
Fixed some weird interactions between bleeding and player mods, including an issue causing the bleeding effect to stack multiple times.
Fixed the 'time-dilated' status effect from appearing multiple times in status descriptions.
Updated the copyright date.
Anthro and phytopologists of Qud are beginning to gain insight into the lives of the Sultans, Eaters who ruled Qud ages ago. Cultural artifacts have revealed factoids such as this one:
"Near the location of Canontau, Yyroq Mon Mad was captured by bandits. He murdered their leader by writing him out of the annals of history, and was thenceforth known as Inkshouter."

We did some more work on the new UI.
Added a new option to show tooltips instead of console 'look' text when right-clicking on an object (under Overlay UI).
Added a new option to show tooltips instead of console 'look' text when clicking or tapping on an object in look mode (under Overlay UI).
Greatly improved the performance of world generation.
The Six Day Stilt librarian no longer accidentally destroys the books you give her.
Fixed some melee weapons not properly granting their Ego bonus.
Fixed an issue that caused objects to be covered in liquid many times (e.g., 'covered in lava, covered in lava, covered in lava').
Fixed an issue that caused the OK button for input dialogs to not work.
Fixed an issue where your input to a popup menu would also be conveyed to the menus underneath.
[modding]World generation is now fully moddable via the worldbuilder nodes in worlds.xml.
We continued working on a big feature arc leading up to procedurally-generated histories for the past sultans of Qud. Historical objects like regions, locations, and items will eventually be incorporated into world generation, and important historical events will be depicted through the art and oral traditions of Qud's present inhabitants. Here are some examples of historical events.
"At the Battle of Duazomor Mesh, Mehur Shwytep fought as a mercenary to liberate vines. He wielded a radiant axe with such prowess, that it became forever known as Radiantacus Vinesgift."
"After striking a deal with frogs, Falawar Farumoshum convinced them to help him found a tavern in Hagaruk for the purpose of cooking meals inspired by emeralds. They named it the Tavern of the Lustrous."
"In early 809, Namumet assassinated the sultan of Qud over an ordinance prohibiting the practice of contemplating the meaning of things. She won and seized the crown. She was 10 years old."

SULTANS OF QUD PART 1!  8) :o
Quote
The Sultans of Qud: Part 1

Qud is a layer cake of fallen civilizations. If you've read the Baccata Yewtarch's influential history book, "Frivolous Lives", you know that the past 1,000 years were dominated by minor humanoid kingdoms and Girsh attacks. Before that was the Age of the Eaters, when the mysterious progenitors ruled from lofty spires now buried under shale. In particular, the lives of 5 great sultans have been preserved through cultural artifacts and oral tradition.

We've introduced the first part of our Sultans of Qud feature arc.
Each game now includes a procedurally-generated history from the Age of the Eaters.
There are 4 historical sites located throughout Qud (more to come in future patches), each one at a different degree of difficulty that corresponds to its location on the world map. Their names, descriptions, locations, contents, historical significance, and look & feel are procedurally-generated and different each game.
Historical sites are populated by cults that worship a particular sultan. Each cult is a coalition of members from other factions, most of which favor the sultan due to some event in Qud's history. The 5 cults are different each game, and each one functions as a faction. You can view your reputation with the cults on the Reputation screen.
Historical sites contain relics. Relics are powerful items that were generated during the course of history. Many of their properties are new effects and are based on the circumstances of their creation.
Shrines to the former sultans are located throughout Qud. They depict significant events from the sultans' lives.
New mods: painted and engraved. Painted and engraved items also depict events from the histories.
Sometimes, looking at a shrine, painted item, or engraved item reveals the location of a historical site. If it does, you get a quest to visit that location.
Sometimes, looking at a shrine, painted item, or engraved item reveals the location of a historical relic. If it does, you get a quest to recover that relic. The relic locations aren't revealed on the map; they are individual levels that exist inside some historical site.
We added a guaranteed sultan shrine to the upper right corner of Joppa. Looking at this shrine reveals a nearby historical location that's usually appropriate, though challenging, for the early game.
Added some new creatures, furniture, and traps for the historical sites. We'll be adding more in the coming weeks.
A few additional notes:
The historical dungeon maps are generated via a new method that produces tremendous variety from themed templates. They take longer to generate, and we haven't optimized the algorithm yet. We'll improve its speed in the coming weeks.
There's a lot going on behind the scenes to generate the histories and the historical sites, and there are definitely bugs. Please report them and we'll fix them!
We'll be adding more unique features to the various types of historical sites in the coming weeks. We'll also be adding more sites, mechanics, and a story arc that integrates this into the main quest in Part 2. Stay tuned.
You can now give procedurally-generated books to Sheba Hagadias at the Six Day Stilt.
Tweaked the value of procedurally-generated books.
Autosave now defaults to 'on'.
Fixed an invalid entry in mid-tier gun tables.
Fixed some issues causing double-key entry reads.
Fixed some exceptions causing graphical effects like torch flickering to stick around on screen.
[Modding] Added the ability for skills to have any part, including mutations, as prerequisites.
[Modding] mutations.xml now supports a Stat field to change the level-modifying stat of a mutation.

This is the start of The Big Time here folks---The Grand Escalation!   8)
