Changelog

This page lists changes to the game that have been added over time. It is user run and not automated, therefore there will be delays between the update itself and the update to the changelog.

Dates may not be entirely accurate and some changes may be included under dates that happened within a few days of the update.

Dates are listed in the format of YYYY-MM-DD.

Map swaps are not included here as they happen weekly, and would unnecessarily increase the length of this page. That said, it is rare that an update does not coincide with a mapswap.

2024-09-07

• Added a new whitelist species, the Hanner. These are the half-offspring of Lleill and share a small number of their abilities. Notably, they are shapeshifters, can drain energy from consenting people, can do basic alchemy and can transform into beasts. This species can be a crewmember if they have been approved for the whitelist via a special character application.
• Added an entirely new Game Options system to game for non-vore prefs, replacing the majority of the options in the preferences tab and switches in the global tab with a new TGUI window.
• Added a small chance of finding potion materials in maint loot (pretty rare), to allow a little more consistent use of the alchemy ability for lleill, rather than relying on redgates alone.
• Added UI buttons for powers available to Hanner and Lleill characters, as well as a meter displaying how much of their glamour energy they have remaining.
• Added the beast form ability to Lleill and Hanner, allowing them to turn into a small selection of simple mobs.
• Added a Protogen Dog form to pAIs.
• Added an animated sparkling version of tricolor leather wings.
• Added a config string box to the colorMate color matrix for players to copy their config or to directly paste it back in.
• Added vital medical equipment to the medical belt allowed list.
• Added climbing closed creates with mouse drag.
• Added using airlock doorbells to check for electrification.
• Added the ability for health and body scanners to detect husking.
• Added spawning with a mind scan. This is a one-time scan, not a backup implant.
• Added a new vox marking.
• Changed savefiles to automatically migrated from BYOND .sav to JSON.
• Changed lleill_energy and lleill_energy_max to be a base species variable rather than lleill species, allowing those abilities to be granted to other characters by GMs.
• Changed vox to allow the use of the shaved beard type.
• Changed prometheans to allow the use of teshari and vox icon bases.
• Changed default AI laws to use the map's default instead of hardcoded NT laws. Default is NT laws.
• Changed space cleaner to the same cleaning power as soap, mops, and janiborgs.
• Fixed simple mobs to now actually have their sleeping handled, stopping them from being stuck sleeping forever on using the sleep verb.
• Fixed issue by preemptively dropping empty strings from the belly text sanity in case someone accidentally entered blank line inserts.
• Fixed an issue which could lead to belly sprite vis toggling on carbon/human mobs.
• Fixed an issue where some programmes could not open the facility redgate map due to an incomplete set of quotation marks.
• Fixed textinput not updating on value changes.
• Fixed alarm proc calls failing.
• Fixed config.sql_enabled not being respected in all cases.
• Fixed incorrectly formatted mode_flags on the greatwolf (this should never use a list!).
• Fixed vehicle/train to prevent them from running over the user when pulled up stairs.

2024-09-04

• Added a spiked wristband accessory to loadout and vending machines.
• Added new verbs to the EventKit tab: "Map Message - Create", which spawns a new red admin environmental message, this one does not delete other messages placed by the user, allowing GMs to place as many as they want. "Map Message - Remove" which lists all env messages in the world by their message text, allowing admins/GMs to remove any particular one.
• Changed public teleporter sprites make them easier to use by filling them with a transparent layer.
• Changed research samples to have a more useful description, and are now safer to handle (container still advised) with voidsuits but can have other effects besides just burning your hands.
• Fixed new bellies creating failure messages on closing the prompt.
• Fixed AdminPM rights so that only active staff can view confidential conversations.

2024-09-01

• Added Fears and Phobia traits, which cause your character to gain Panic when exposed to certain things (e.g. spiders), which makes you less accurate with ranged attacks, cause you to auto-emote, and sometimes drop any items you're holding. Citalopram and Paroxetine can be used to counteract its effects.
• Added Spice Smites. Be careful what you wish for when you hit that Request Spice button!
• Added robotic digitigrade leg options. Also requires the appropriate digitigrade setting to avoid clothes looking weird, of course.
• Morphs can now take over their prey properly.
• New mind transfer pref, blocks bodysnatching and most other nefarious uses of mind transfers.
• Added a new button to the vore panel preferences tab, "Load Prefs From Slot". This button allows you to simply load another character slot's bellies and vore preferences onto your current character, but does not automatically save them.
• Big dragon sprites will no longer keep the bones showing when you revive them.
• Using the Copy Slot option will now immediately Save, so you no longer have to do it manually in order to finalize the copy.
• Added big squirrel, flagtail, and bunnytaur tail options.
• Removed limit on negative traits, if you truly wish to create some tormented abomination(s). This means you are only limited by points and slots for positive traits now.
• Fixes for examine length in certain circumstances.
• Fixes for the Fix Atmos Grief process running even if you hit the big X to close the window rather than hitting No/Cancel. Further similar fixes are coming soon.
• Fixes for certain idle messages being a bit too long in certain circumstances.
• Fixed a handful of cases where some messages would not be sent to anyone as they did not have a target var set.

Additional Update:

• Fixed VTEC module icon disappearing after shell swap or adminghosting.
• Fixes a situation where it was possible for prefs to get corrupted during loading, which would in turn corrupt your entire savefile.
• Players can now leave Environmental Messages which display text when hovered over. You can only have one message active at a time.
• The Hacktool can now open locked crates and lockers, and can sometimes be found as one of the item sets in the NULL contraband crate.

2024-08-26

• Added research samples, for research, to be found in explorable locations. Collect them using special sample containers (found in mining and xenoarch closets, and mining and exploration points vendors), then analyze them or reduce them into useful resources! Or just put them on a table and use them as a conversation piece.
• Added a new goofy looking vore mob, the Meowl.
• Added "random corporate supply" and contraband "special corporate supply" crates to cargo terminals; the former mostly has harmless stuff, whilst the latter can spawn all sorts of stuff from the random pool but can also include weapons (rarely). The special corporate supply crate is cheaper than the NULL contraband crate, but is far less likely to provide useful or valuable equipment.
• Added battery names to the cell charger rack.
• Added a check to ranged LOOC to only broadcast them to active staff.
• Added a check to the ahelp ticket panel to only allow active staff to view them.
• Added new "full lid" 'decal' option for crates. Only used on the new coyote salvage corp crate style, for now.
• Added desatti catering, nukies energy drinks, and coyote salvage corp suit crates to random spawners. This includes associated style, and adds it to the existing salvage corp suit order.
• Fixed the monster bait toy so that it can only be used on mobs immediately next to you, preventing them from telekinetically shoving you over.
• Changed the scel to attempt to eat people who have digestion turned off, as it has the selective belly mode on anyway.
• Changed the supply spawning behaviour slightly, so crates are no longer mandatory. As an example of this, gas canisters and the cargo tug no longer arrive in crates.
• Changed supply consoles to start tracking orders at 0 (so the first order is order 1, etc.) rather than a random number between 1 and 9000
• Fixed the electric guitar not working.
• Fixed supply console scrolling not working.
• Fixed the random pizza pack crate, it now comes with the pizza delivery outfit and visor, deleting a duplicate pizza supply pack that was inaccessible anyway due to not having a defined name or container.
• Fixed venomous bites to allow the use of non-whole numbers.
• Fixed Number Input / dragable not refocussing the content on click.
• Fixed examining clientless humans failing in some cases.
• Merged all _vr supplypacks into the main supplypack files.

2024-08-18

• Fixed tooltips not working when mousing over mobs

• Fixed speechbubble behaviour for robots
• Single recipes can now be deleted from Dispensers
• Borg beakers have been made a little less janky
• PTTO reactors now glow whilst active; the glow is more intense the higher their output is set to

2024-08-11

• Personal Emergency Beacons now require solid ground to be used, are stationary once deployed, and transmit a GPS signal once activated. Activated beacons can be disassembled using a wrench.
• Techmaint and hi-grip steel tiles can now be crowbarred up without exploding into dust, and replacement techmaint, techfloor, techfloor grid, and hi-grip tiles can now be made using steel sheets.
• TGUI Say has been implemented! See PR for details: [1]
• Shelves can now be crafted using steel and wood.
• Vore/prey healthbars respect selective mode.
• Two alternative landing markers have been added to the Space Whale's existing landing zones, so certain shuttles can land there.

• Research equipment is now properly disconnected from the network when the main R&D console is dismantled.
• Engineering armbands can be acquired from appropriate vendors.
• No more chat messages about winding up to throw or being ready to catch when you hit the throw key.
• Fixes for AI Holospeak always being multi-Z and not showing the AI's name.
• An unarmoured version of the Martian Miner coat can be taken in loadouts. The armoured version can still be found in abandoned crates.
• Reagent Dispensers now have a per-round, per-machine macro system, for faster and easier mixing. Applies to all reagent dispensers; alcohol, soda, you name it. Mostly useful for chemistry.
• Fixed species/custom blood colours being overwritten back to default red. Your chosen/current blood colour also displays as a small coloured circle on the colour selection button.
• Electrical storms are now much more likely to affect an area, but have only a 25% chance to destroy all of its lights. Most of the time, it will just make them all flicker. Spooooooky!
• Assorted fixes from downstream:
  • Certain items can no longer spawn in lootpiles if they were only intend to spawn on mapload, and the temp item spawners will clean themselves up properly.
  • Many more objects can now be rotated CCW (as well as CW).
  • Borers will no longer crash VR pods.
  • Bloodspatters will no longer proc their drying timers on mapload, preventing weird behaviour.

• Fixed vorebelly struggle animations not working.

2024-08-04

• Several signs have been added around tether surface airlocks to warn of the hazardous environment outside.
• Loadout selectors have been updated and some more items compressed into them. Please check your loadouts for missing items. Some unintentionally-hidden items have also been made available, such as the corporate press pass.
• General Jump vendors now include all basic utility uniforms (green, navy, black, grey, tan). Big D's Best includes associated jackets (and patchless variants).
• Black holsters are available from Security vendors, and in the holster selector. Machete scabbards, KA holsters, and sword sheathes are no longer in the holster selector.
• A few items/selectors that weren't available to Talon crew but should have been are now available to them.
• Xenoarch effects will no longer edit all items of their parent type, only the specific item.
• Miscellaneous adjustments and improvements to TGUI windows.

• Ship transponders now default to ON (meaning, no scans are necessary to reveal their names and icons on the overmap or for ATC announcements) for most ships except for wrecks and certain special event ships.
• Jukebox tracks that were reliant on time-limited Discord links have been removed. These tracks may return at a later date, if uploaded to another host.
• The Fuel Depot has been upgraded with point defenses, improved maximum capacity, increased solar array output, and a set of connectors for faster multi-canister refueling.
• A new verb has been added that can hide (or unhide) almost all of the verbs in the verb panel, which should help with client performance on older/slower machines.
• Added a new "speckled leather" wing type.

2024-07-28

• Added significant changes to the Lleill species. This species is admin spawn only and will remain that way, but is now generally more balanced for people to use. The ability for regular players to play these on request will likely only be granted after the lore document for them is posted to the wiki:
  • Added an energy system for some Lleill abilities (invisibility, transmutation and teleportating to rings).
  • Added ways to restore that energy. There are now two ways, either 75 energy every 10 minutes from rings, or by taking energy from another creature that consents to it.
  • Added a glamour gasmask/helmet option for Lleill to use for breathing outside of the tether.
  • Added a variant of the nudity permit of Lleill to use for storing items.
  • Added an alchemy ability to allow Lleill to do alchemy without using an alembic. Not very useful but very flavorful.
  • Added two new Lleill ears and two new Lleill tails.
  • Changed glamour rings to allow them to be destroyed by either the Lleill or another character. The Lleill is notified who has destroyed their rings (for fae antics).
  • Fixed the formatting of transmuting item text.
  • Fixed the formatting of the glamour shard item name.
  • Fixed cancelling the glamour face ability spawning faceless homunculus.
  • Fixed invisible Lleill having the AR HUD show above them.
  • Fixed speaking glamour to translate from glamour speak.
• Added new patchless military jacket variants.
• Added the ability for the cyborg glass recycler to refill the light replacer.
• Added the latest changes on most of the main elements from TG (NumberInput only had some slight changes, TG's current version is not user friendly).
• Removed some unnecessary lines and returns the init_vore proc on no_vore.
• Fixed an error in the shuttle UI preventing sensors from being shown when they should.
• Fixed Bluespace Crackers being able to be used more than once by sending multiple prompts to a target.

2024-07-21

• You can now use OOC Escape when inside food to get out of it, in the rare event that Resist isn't working and for general consistency purposes.
• Ported a bunch more clothing options.
• Added Mega Nukies, super energy drinks that can sometimes be found in maint. They can offer unique temporary effects, but there may be undesirable consequences!
• Added Monster Bait, an item that can be used to cause voremobs to pounce you without having to actually aggress/harm them.
• Updated the description of butterfly nets to more clearly imply they can be used to catch micros.
• Increased the height of the Welcome window to remove the scrollbar after roundstart.
• Various standard-issue voidsuits now have opt-in helmet cameras linked to appropriate networks.
• Added variant of the smooth lizard tail with a colourable underside.
• Removed dark tiles, empty plating, and reinforced plating from character previews in character setup, and added grass, snow, and sand in their place, for a more varied range of colour contrast/preview options.
• Updated several more UIs to Typescript.

2024-07-14

• Added "Remove or Replace Underwear" as an option to the stripping menu. Works exactly like the Toggle Underwear verb, but done to another person.
• Fixed some chat styles not properly syncing.
• Fixed the line height being too high for marish font.
• Fixed Teshari stomachs show up properly.
• Fixed Unathi stomachs show up properly.
• Ported a few other belly fixes from ChompStation.

2024-07-08

• Added butterfly nets. These nets can be wafted across a tile, much like a fishing net, to catch butterflies (and people of scale 50% and below)! Using them on themselves either drops the contents, or if the inactive hand is empty, pulls out the contents into the free hand. They can be crafted from cloth, found in the botanists locker, or rarely found in maintenance.
• Added new hotkey mode combinations for resting. Ctrl+U now always rests to the right, whilst Shift+U always rests to the left. These can also be used with the Rest-Left and Rest-Right verbs in the command bar.
• Changed an airlock from the exploration preperation room into maintenance on the SD from a glass airlock to a hatch airlock.
• Fixed RD console crashing on state changes (such as when the destructive analyser is used).

2024-07-03

• Added the options to actually have vore bellies on your character now! You can find them in the visual tab and change the colour in the preferences tab of the vore panel.
• Added a small inset below most items that specify what jobs they're restricted to, if any restrictions are present. Certain items do not show their restrictions if it's obvious from the item name or description (e.g. security uniforms are for security only).
  • NOTE: This change also changed some item names, to remove no-longer-necessary notes on which departments can spawn with those items. This will cause the changed items to disappear from loadouts they were present in; they will need to be readded.
• Changed demon mobs that aren't intended to be used as AI mobs in the fantasy dungeon and jungle to other mobs.
• Updated some TGUI bundles.
• Fixed sleeping mobs (throught the sleeping verb) being unable to wake up.
• Fixed vore bellies being tied to the meson goggles layer (causing glowing white squares over all open spaces).
• Fixed a couple of teshi belted cloaks being under general outerwear rather than in xenowear.
• Fixed cryo UI.
• Fixed crematorium trays not properly being removed in some situations.

Additional Update

• Reverted "Fixed sleeping mobs (throught the sleeping verb) being unable to wake up."
• Fixed death no longer working.

2024-06-30

• Changed a large number of TGUI UIs to use typescript.

2024-06-23

• Added visible belly overlays, along with an array of options in the vorepanel to modify them individually for each belly. These can be toggled off on the viewers end, using the "Toggle Stomach Sprites" verb in preferences or in the VORE section of character setup.
  • NOTE: This feature has some bugs that are being ironed out, such as not working ingame and requiring another update to make them visible in the vore panel.
• Instrument synthesizer now allows decimal values for sustained notes, not just whole numbers.
• Small fixes to NIF ownership states.
• Clothing/wearables now shows their exact minimum and maximum safe temperature and pressure ratings (if any) when examined, in Kelvin and kPa respectively. This is only really applicable to full-body suits like voidsuits or firesuits.
• Fixes for TGChat initialization issues on some clients.
• Fixed a mis-configured door between SD maint and exploration prep.
• Fixes for lavender seeds and their icons (again).
• Fixes for the Set Volume verb not working properly.
• You can now spin bottles when they're on the floor! They'll end up pointing in a random direction every time.
• Sizeguns can be made unstable using wirecutters; in this mode, they gain a 50% chance to backfire and resize the user instead. This consumes all remaining power in the cell though. It is reversible by using wirecutters on them again.
• AI shells can no longer be renamed using renaming modules from Robotics.
• Alcohol tolerance traits have been refactored under the hood to hopefully work more reliably/consistently. The implementation/effects are otherwise largely the same as before.
• Medical patches (made using a chemmaster) now transfer loaded reagents directly to the bloodstream, allowing them to be used with more reagents as opposed to being restricted to only those that have touch effects.
• Survival watches now return the light level of the tile you're on, if it's bright enough to see.
• Bluespace crackers have been added! They can cause all kinds of weird things to happen to whoever "wins" the pull. Some of them may be rigged. Presets of each type/outcome also exist for mapping/adminspawn purposes.
• An enhanced version of the venomous bite trait has been made available. On top of the standard numbing enzyme, it now has new options such as a paralytic agent, amongst other things.
• Some TGUI fixes for buttons that might have been misbehaving.

2024-06-16

• Fixed an exploit that allowed to circumvent the size limit outside of dorms / large size boundary areas.
• Fixed a nif duplication exploit through sharing, as well as an issue to override your own nif with other's.

2024-06-09

• Added the facility map from the recent event to the redgate map pool with some small changes.
• Added new option ("Assembling expedition team") to the automated fax list for several jobs.
• Added a few V5 atmosphere variant of snow and ice turfs.
• Added some rock and skeleton props for V5.
• Added a V5 sprite for the overmap.
• Added a V5 skybox image.
• Changed the amount of newlines allowed in 1 post from 6 to 18.
• Changed TG chat to limit displayed successive new lines to a maximum of 3.
• Fixed borg gps no longer working after enabling the module without toggling it.
• Fixed some old usages of usr << instead of to_chat.
• Fixed persistent papers to no longer replace the chat on examine.
• Fixed chat loading reliability.
• Fixed locally defined defines and moves global ones to the __defines section.
• Fixed jan HUD showing on more than just the intended uses.

2024-06-01

• Added the option to display only belly-mode relevant settings in the Description tab of the vore panel.
• Added a mostly fully featured mini chemlab to the main hall on the testmap, for quickly testing reagent creation and effects.
• Changed the Sleep verb to now make your character snooze until you use the verb again, instead of knocking you out for a couple of minutes and then needing to be flipped again.
• Fixed Adranol to work as intended and actually clear your jitters properly, albeit just under twice as fast as it clears normally.
• Fixed timer issue due to a wrong assumption of decisecond intervals, but it's seconds; also back to allow up to 10 minutes.
• Fixed lavender using an non-existing seed icon.
• Fixed accidental inclusion of TG subfolder.

2024-05-26

• Added a Toggle Automatic AFK setting and verb, which default to on. When enabled, you will automatically get an AFK icon above your head when you have been inactive for ten minutes. This is the same time as the standard inactivity timer. The automatically-applied status will clear as soon as you do anything, unlike the manually-set status.
  • Manually marking yourself as AFK will also show you as "Away From Keyboard for (x) minutes" when examined, rather than the default "Inactive for (x) minutes".
• Added books to the option of trash eater edible items.
• Added an option for admins to add and remove songs to the jukebox for the duration of the round.
• Added a simple "antag" role for event characters generally. Simply gives event characters the ability to use AOOC without having a persistent antag icon next to their sprite.
• Added access code 511 for lost / gravekeeper drones, in case they need specific access.
• Added lost drone ability to now can re-roll their laws 5 times before selecting a module.

• Changed ashtray item size so they take up less space in bags.
• Changed lost drones to now have a chance to spawn with a scrambled module.
• Changed lace masks to allow you to drink whilst wearing them.
• Changed some verbs from set src to be explicitly added.
• Fixed multiple time display issues in TGUI (such as the brig timer).
• Fixed a bug where the entire emag list was re-added instead of the single, new item on borg HUD refreshes.
• Fixed the vorepanel showing 1 minute for idle messages in the tooltip, no matter what second time had been selected. It will now show the selected seconds for idle texts.

2024-05-20

• Added a verb under the IC tab that toggles off an overhead 'AFK' indicator, so you can easily mark yourself as such if you need to hop up and run to the bathroom or something!
• Added some simple plaque-like signs to be mapped in for events.
• Added chemmaster button from TG.
• Fixed Typing Indicators getting stuck on borgs.
• Fixed issues with icons and TGUI.

• Fixed several style tags.
• Updated tgui dependencies.
• Updated yarn version to 4.1.1.
• Updated typescript to version 5.91.0.
• Updated Node version in dependencies file to (major) 20.

2024-05-13

• Added a new Belly Mode Addon called Spare Prosthetics. With this active, when prey (that has leave remains turned on) is digested, they will drop any prosthetic arms and legs into the belly.
• Added a Contaminant Detector HUD. Advanced janitorial gameplay tool. Helps spot any cleanable dirt much easier with helpful popups on HUD. Available from loadout, janitor closet, janitor supply crates, janitor vending machine, science and as a tool for borg. Comes in prescription variant (but not aviator or eyepatch).
• Added a selection of four watches which are worn on the hand/glove slot and can be taken via loadouts. The three basic variants (plastic, silver, and gold) simply tell you the station time when examined; the survival watch, if worn, also tells you your current facing direction and the temperature and pressure of the tile you're standing on (if it's simulated). More importantly, however, the survival watch also includes a basic, transmit-only GPS beacon. It is not enabled by default, but you can turn it on by left-clicking on the watch whilst holding down the left alt key.
• Added a new Customizable Permit to loadouts. You can set the name and description to whatever you want. It includes an irremovable disclaimer that it was not issued by NT, is not binding, and does not need to be honoured by security/command.
• Added variations of one hairstyle, ported from novastation, for all your emo needs: gloomy bangs! Comes in short, mid and long variants, hides eyes.
• Added in-hand sprites for rubber duckies.
• Added separate LOOC and OOC muting to allow admins some more control about it.
• Added a Generic Item and associated Eventkit verb Spawn Generic Item. Much like the Generic structure but is designed for hand held devices that can be picked up.
• Added a bunch of options for effects to the Generic Item and Generic Structure: Sparks, Flash, Flicker Lights and Spawn Item.
• Added the ability to upload custom sprites to both Generic Item and Generic Structure, by selecting "Upload Own Sprite" from the list of sprites, along with some warnings that non 32x sprites will need to have their positions adjusted.
• Added a few quick and simple prop sprites for the items verb to choose from, including a mix of new ones and some others from throughout the game.
• Changed Belly Item Mode: Digest (Food) to not digest robotic body parts such as prosthetic limbs. These can still be digested using the Item Mode: Digest.
• Changed some text in the Vey-Medical lore codex.
• Fixed Digestion Pain preference not loading from saved preferences, causing it to reset every shift.
• Fixed borg typing indicator vanishing after a few seconds.
• Fixed borgs being unable to pull pdas on ctrl click.

2024-05-05

• Added new "Tall, Major" and "Short, Major" traits that add and reduce the sprite's height by 15% respectively.
• Added new "Heavy Frame, Major" and "Light Frame, Major" traits that increase and reduce your threshold for size interaction by 30% respectively.
• Added four void undersuit options, ported from CitRP, labelled alternative undersuit, includes feminine and sleeveless options.
• Added a digestion pain preference, ported from RogueStar. Changed from a trait in character setup to a preference in the preferences tab of the vore panel.
• Added a Generic Structure and associated Eventkit verb Spawn Generic Structure. This allows staff to create a structure with customisable interactions, ranging from whether it can be turned on, wrenched down and so on to how how long it takes to turn on, what text appears when it happens and if it plays a sound.
• Added a new buildmode mode: Drop. Allows objects and mobs to be dropped in from the air. Left click drops them harmlessly, right click drops them very destructively (and will gib things they land on). Mobs that land on another mob with appropriate prefs will drop vore them.
• Added 3 more admin spawn rubber duckies (grey, green and pink).
• Added a variable to rubber duckies called "honk_text" that allows it to put an audible message in chat when honked.
• Added admin logging to vore interactions of AFK players.
• Changed the timer on the autoresleever from 15 minutes to 5 minutes, a similar amount of time to being able to make a transcore announcement.
• Changed the commonly-selectable voidsuit underlayer selector loadout category to uniforms along with the other selectors since they're more uniform-like than casual dress.
• Changed some old SolGov uniform insignias to lightly genericize them and make them available in loadouts. The can be selected in the accessory section of loadout under the insignia selection option.
• Changed wall damage from being (usually) 25 brute to 12.
• Fixed the "You have unread updates in the changelog" message showing every time that you connect.
• Fixed an issue with some cyborg modules not being excluded due to a pathing mistake.

2024-04-28

• Added a new shared office space and entrepreneur equipment to these spaces on the Tether, Stellar Delight and Rascal's Pass. None of this is access locked, intentionally letting anyone play with it.
• Changed the name of pillow crates in cargo ordering consoles from "Colour" Pillow Crate to Pillow Crate - "Colour", so that they are grouped properly.
• Fixed broken ventilation objects in the Talon medical bay.
• Fixed various issues with 515 by un-reverting the compatability patch.
• Fixed yellow raptor sprite names and tweaked some sprites.
• Fixed flags on traits excluding each other by default.

2024-04-21

• MAJOR: Updated the server from byond 514 to 515. Be aware that there are bugs occuring for users after this transition that cause some people to experience issues with the UI. We advise people who are experiencing problems to try the following: Use the 514 byond client. Clear your byond cache. Clear your internet explorer cache (IE is used to display many TGUI elements). Restart your computer after clearing either cache, temporary files may cause problems.
• Added a number of traits to non-custom species. Traits that conflict with the current flavour of the species or are already applied by default can not be selected. These traits are:
  • Autohiss (Unathi)
  • Autohiss (Tajaran)
  • Autohiss (Zaddat)
  • Hardy
  • Hardy, Major
  • High Endurance
  • Darksight
  • Darksight, Major
