Changelog for Patch 1.1.2610 rev1048 (20 April 2020/added 23 April 2020) - Part I:

Improvements
- Multiple thrones can now share one throneroom.
- Allow non-noble pawns to play music. High culture recreation type is re-labeled to music recreation. Allow non-conceited nobles use dexterity play.
- Make speech from the throne an ability player can control. High-level royals gain the ability to do a speech from the throne. It has a cooldown (so the speaker can think of ideas for the next speech). The feedback for throne speeches now tells the player the chances of different outcomes, along with the relevant social stat.
- Removed minimum expectations for non-conceited titles (that is, titles of pawns who were not born royalty and are not greedy or jealous).
- Implemented category-based melee verb selection. Previously, pawns would select which melee verb to use simply by a weighted random selection according to the power of their different verbs. However, this created an incoherency where adding, for example, a knee spike to a pawn with a longsword would actually make him worse, since the knee spike is less powerful than the longsword but now he is more likely to choose a verb besides the longsword. The new verb category system places each verb in one of three categories - best, mid, and worst. It then chooses randomly between best (75% of the time) and mid (25% of the time). So adding a knee spike to a longsword wielder will not make him use the longsword less often; rather it will replace his fists as the mid-tier verb and improve his damage per second.
- Colonists can now be set as master to any animal they are bonded with regardless of skill. This prevents situations where starting animals begin bonded to colonists who cannot become their master, leading to a permanent negative thought for the colonist not being master of the bonded animal.
- "New quest" letters now link directly to the relevant quest instead of requiring an extra click.
- Shuttles that don't land on landing pads will now avoid crushing buildings, items, and trees.

Tuning
- Redesigned how hosting quests generate threats. Instead of always generating points-based threats on a 24-hour cycle with the same timing in all cases, the system now chooses from a designed menu of different duration ranges, threat counts, and threat intensities. Each challenge rating (star level) has a different menu of threats. These are all modified by the possibility of adding helpers, different guests with different conditions, and so on.
- Quests' reward value is now always at least 250 silver, no matter how small the quest.
- Quest guests can now only be downed or sick if quest points are over 300.
- Non-royal guests can now have mood threshold set only if quest points are over 400.
- Helpers can no longer generate for 1-star hospitality quests (since these quests have no violent threats).
- Reworked how the guest count for quests is generated, taking points into account better, and adjusted the rate to have fewer guests at really low points levels.
- Hosting quests can only use 2 or 3 challenge stars above specific points thresholds.
- Random quests no longer generate at all under 100 points, and lerp to generating as normal at 200 points.
- Tune random quest selection weights for more variation.
- You can no longer get quests about fighting mech clusters at unreasonably low points levels.
- You can no longer get infestation quests at unreasonably low points levels. Change the code that determines the hive count to round normally without randomness, for greater accuracy.
- Increase monument protection times from 10~30 days to 20~50 days, and increased reward factor to match.
- We no longer generate as many cheap items at high reward values, in order to focus on a few big juicy rewards.
- Adjusted the rewards for various game conditions in condition-for-pay quests (this means quests where e.g. you get a toxic fallout but also get a reward). Also linked specific conditions to specific star ratings.
- Balance down the reward you get just for keeping a hospitality guest without threats (since often this can even be advantageous).
- Deny choosing Empire as asker for a hospitality joiners quest if points are under 240, to avoid sending nobles when a colony can't realistically support them and they wouldn't want to visit.
- Adjust how hospitality quests determine the royal title of royal guests so early-mid-game guests don't have unsupportably high titles.
- Tune the default relationship between quest points and reward value to make it scale better lower and higher points levels.
- Slightly increase chance of population-gaining quests.
- Quest threat sites will no longer generate with 'possibly unknown threats' all the time, and especially not at lower challenge levels.
- Quest threat sites will now limit the number of threats at the site according to the quest points.
- Extended hive spawning delay the 14 seconds to 28 seconds.
- Reduced luciferium market value from 120 to 70.
- Increased joywire consciousness impact from 20% to 30%.
- Increased spike trap build cost from 35 to 45.
- Reduced wood sharp damage multiplier from 0.45 to 0.40.
- Colored lights research project no longer requires high tech research bench.
- Difficulty settings now modify butcher yield similarly to crop yield.
- Moisture pumps now leave resources behind when destroyed.
- Fine floors now give 75% of resources back upon deconstruction, similar to other floors.
- Changed research prerequisite for ship landing beacon from microelectronics to electricity.
- Greatbow can now be made at crafting spot.
- Health conditions can now have negative pawn price offsets. Mindscrew now has a negative price offset.

Technical
- Improve grammar resolution trace format by putting the trace first, then variables, then custom rules.
- Make mech capsules avoid placing multiple mechs on the same cell.
- Suppress "dependency needs to have downloadUrl" warning for dependencies on official content.
- Moved 'Copy debug to clipboard' button to above debug text. Made the signal text box button narrower and changed the '...' button label to 'Send defined signal'.
- Shuttles can now take off when under roofs to prevent breaking quests if it moves under a thick roof after landing.
- Added a new quest node for creating multiple incident quest parts periodically or randomly.
- Moved quest part debug window contents to a virtual method. Added a debug button to complete Pawn Lend return shuttle delay.
- Improve 'write storyteller' debug output.
- Special thing filters are now always shown based on the root category of the filter listing.
- ThingFilter now resolves the display root category lazily.

Improvements
- Monuments can now be sastisfied with any floor type instead of requiring specific floor types.

Changelog for Update 1.1.2647 rev905 (no date / added 29 May 2020) - Part I:

Quests
- Quests now offer three reward options for the player to choose between. These three reward options are always distinct from each other.

Player can still set reward preferences to prevent rewards like goodwill or royal favor from being offered, if desired.
- We condensed and focused a ton of quest texts for better readability.
- Texts for Empire quests have been adjusted to de-emphasize the pampered aspect somewhat. The nobles should be a lot more straightforward to match the new dignified meditation. They're more honor-bound than pampered.
- All quests have been deeply reviewed and tuned to give good reward and challenge balances at all stages of the game in all situations.

Psychic mechanics
- Psychic entropy was renamed to neural heat. This distinguishes it from psyfocus better, and expresses the context of a short-term measure that quickly dissipates, but can 'burn' you if pushed too high. It doesn't represent physical heat of the brain; it's an expression reflecting the same psychic phenomenon as before.
- Psychic hangover removed. Since we now have psyfocus as a long-term cost for psycasts, there's no need for psychic hangover. (Its original purpose was to remove from the player the micromanagement burden of casting psycasts like Focus over and over on workers, which would have been a good strategy without it).
- Neural heat overload is no longer dangerous and can often be a good strategy. It won't burn anyone's brain, though it may still knock your psycaster into a coma for a few days and in some cases can burn out a psylink level. It's a good strategy in difficult situations. I'd like to see more players pushing the boundaries of neural heat limits. Overall this powers up psycasters by making it much more viable to push out a lot of psycasts at once.

New psycasts
- New psycast - Neural heat dump: Reduces caster neural heat to zero instantly, but puts the allied target into a psychic shock coma for a day. This replaces entropy link.
- New psycast - Waterskip: Drops some water at the target point, extinguishing nearby fires.
- New psycast - Flashstorm: Generates a small flashstorm at the target point, which will drop lighting bolts from time to time.
- New psycast - Bullet shield: Creates a circular skipgate field which will absorb shots in or out around a targeted point, for a short time. Great for retreats or advances.

Hosting quest improvements
- You can now sometimes gain goodwill sometimes by keeping the guests' mood extra high.
- Threats configuration totally redesigned. There are new fewer individual threats, with more variation in their pacing and scale. For example, rather than four normal mech clusters in a row, which gets monotonous, you might get two double cluster or one triple-size cluster, providing challenges outside what normal play offers.
- Lodgers now generally have lodger conditions like being unwilling to work, or requiring mood to be kept up, or a disease. This reduces the cases where the lodger is rewarding you for the chance to work for you. More difficult conditions offer bigger rewards.
- Helpers brought to fight for you now start with an 'on duty' mood bonus thought.
- Added blood rot disease to support hosting quests.
- Added paralytic abasia disease to support hosting quests.

Drugs
- Drugs output a lot more stats on their info card, including high gain per dose, high fall per day, high duration per dose, psyfocus gain per dose, tolerance gain per dose, tolerance fall per day, random overdose chance, minimum tolerance for addiction, addiction chance per dose, addiction recovery time, addict need fill per dose, addict need fall rate, addict need cost per day, addict need dose interval, safe dose interval. This should help make drugs my viable by giving players information to reason about costs and benefits.
- You can now make pawns keep drugs in inventory even if they're not scheduled to take it. Good for combat drugs.
- Drug taking is faster and the pawn won't move when they do it. Good for combat drugs.
- Wake-up and go-juice rebalanced. Now instead of being safe for some interval but then absolutely suicidal to take, the risk and consequences of addiction are lower but the safe dose interval is removed.
- Go-juice instantly gives psyfocus when taken by psycasters.
- Wake-up speeds psyfocus gain from meditation when taken by psycasters.
- Addiction is now rolled before tolerance build-up, making more drugs like yayo more viable and making the drug stats output easier to understand.
- Addicts now take their drug automatically at 10% need instead of 30% (which is too early and wasteful). Chemicals restore 90% to their need instead of 100% for more consistent math.
- Drug tolerances are visible at all severity levels instead of being hidden at low tolerance.

Miscellaneous content
- Added new sound effects for: Mech serums, neurotrainers, psytrainers, condition causers, quest accepted, succeded, failed, concluded, techprint applied, shuttle idle, shuttle board and disembark.
- Added prestige recon armor, prestige marine armor, and prestige cataphract armor. These gold-enhanced power armors enhance psychic abilities and are needed to satisfy noble apparel requirements.
- Psyfocus gear renamed to eltex.
- Cleanly slaughtering your tame animals now gives 50% bonus meat. This powers up the previously-underused ranching.
- When manhunters attack the colony en masse, they now come with the rabies-like scaria disease. Fictionally, this gives a reason why manhunters are attacking, but its design purpose is to flatten out the reward level for manhunter attacks between different difficulty levels. At each difficulty level, a percentage of animals killed with scaria will become unbutcherable on death; this percentage is tuned inversely from the animal count at each difficulty such that higher difficulties now get the same resource reward as lower difficulties. Scaria can also be cured quite easily if you down an animal with it, which makes it possible to make them into pets or meat for slaughter if you are ready to trade medicine for food.
- Smelting slag is much faster to reduce clutter.
- Random decrees for nobles are removed.
- Mech clusters drop less slag and more steel to compensate.
- Mech cluster central problem causer buildings drop some special reward resources when destroyed.
- Filth like blood, dirt, rubble, etc now expires after a long time. This should reduce clutter buildup in long games.
- Added new smoke shells and smoke IED.
- Royal aid can now be targeted on a position instead of just dropping on the caller. So you can tell them to drop on top of a mech cluster, into enemies, etc - anywhere in line of sight of the caller, within a certain radius.
- Monuments can now be rotated while placing.
- Monument generation was reworked to prevent monuments from having big empty spaces inside and increase the value density. This should make monuments more compact and easier to place.
- UI: Follow the master while drafted/hunting now appears on the animal's training tab as well as the main animals tab.
- Renamed bladelink to persona weapons.
- Added colorblind-friendly point labels for history charts, visible on mouseover.
- Difficulty settings were renamed with more flavor and to better indicate what they really mean. Descriptions were condensed and clarified, and coded to appear instantly on mouseover so they can't be missed.
- Updated player-created names.
