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.
2023-08-11
- Adds the ability to customise the colour of a single body marking over the different body parts that it covers. This is done via a customise button next to each marking.
- A new field has been added to examines and character setup: Custom link. This 100 character space allows for you to include a link (or multiple) to character references or preference lists that is clickable upon being examined. This is not to be used for memes.
- Merged dogborg modules into standard cyborg modules:
- All borgs now have a belly module, but only those with sprites made for it will have one visible on their body whilst in use.
- The boop module is now available to all borgs.
- The tongue module is now available to all borgs, but is no longer able to clean.
- Puppy jaws module has been effectively removed, but for dog, drake and raptor borg sprites, the universal crowbar tool now has the puppy jaws sprite.
- Other dogborg tools, such as paws of life and jumper paws, are still visible as flavour as resprited versions of other borg tools when you are playing as the dog sprites.
- Boozehounds now change belly colour by using the Customize Appearance verb.
- All whitelisted borg sprites have been transferred over.
- Flavour text for dogborg modules will have been lost.

- The new OOC notes have three sections, general, likes and dislikes.
- The character directory has been made compatible with the new format.
- Edit buttons are visible when you have your own OOC notes open.
- Due to being a TGUI window, links in OOC notes will no longer be clickable.
- Changed mentions of nitrogen to phoron in Supermatter Engine manual. Also updates relevant numbers (expected shots of 12-16), and expands some data on some features.
- Fixed micros not being able to be properly holstered.
2023-08-05
- Added a new hotsprings map to the redgate! It's an open snowfield map with a few buildings and caves dotted about, but most notably, it has a few hotsprings outdoors and indoors! The map is uncomfortably cold, but the hotsprings are nice and warm.
- The stardog is still the only redgate map for this weekend, but the others and the new one will be back soon!
- Added the ability to shift your layer with Ctrl+shift+numpad+/-, letting you arrange your position above or below other mobs!
- Added a 5 minute cooldown to overmap mobs announcements so that they don't spam the radio.
- Changed the colour of ranged LOOC for staff to differentiate it from local LOOC.
- Changed how description colours work so that they properly show up in dark mode.
- Removed examine_vr and merged it's contents into the main file.
- Fixed things so that the OM mob won't lose its map_z.
Additional Update
- Tether cargo has been remodelled.
- Fixed old chat colours being broken in the previous update.
2023-08-04
- Added a new redgate map: The Stardog! It has a few unique features:
- An exterior and interior portion of the map. It's a vore map! Though it starts in a small normal room and you can just leave if you're not into it.
- It's covered in a new fur turf! You can pet it.
- If you emote on the stardog, people that are stood next to it will hear it like a subtle.
- Likewise, people speaking near the dog will be audible all across the dog map itself.
- You can pick people up from the dog if prefs match, they'll be shrunk to 25% scale when you do so, because they're tiny on there.
- The dog also has lots of tall fur that can be cut down for harvesting, and vore mobs might appear from it.
- The inside of the dog has digestive enzyme pools that, if your prefs align, can digest you.
- Adds functionality to simple mob AI to allow it to be selectively hostile to people who's vore preferences line up, and a few new mobs that use this functionality:
- All of these mobs exclusively use the selective belly mode.
- It can also be configured to only be hostile to people who are below a certain effective size.
- New mob: Abyss lurker, a blind creature that targets sounds.
- New mob: Abyss leaper, lunges at it's prey.
- New mob: Gelatinous cube, slow and extremely deadly.
- Adds a couple of new variables relating to NPCs doing vore:
- faction_bump_vore - a variable on mobs, which when enabled, will allow them to eat members of their own faction via bump noms.
- escape_stun - a variable on bellies, which will weaken the belly's owner by the number you give it when the belly releases something.
- Added traumahound versions of tallborgs.
- Added a new variable to areas: no_comms - makes the area act as a radio jammer, allowing Z levels to have parts of the Z where radios work, and parts where they do not.
- Added a new overmap ship capable of docking with the stellar delight.
- Added a 'Emote Beyond' verb to navigation screens. This allows one to send a subtle emote to any mobs that might be near the OM icon for the ship they are on.
- Added preset relays to the inn map and the teppi ranch map.
- Added the ability to make automated staff request in fax TGUI.
- Moved Eggnog Town from the gateway pool to the redgate pool, since it fits there a little better, also modifies the maps a little bit so they work better, and makes the relay there be preset!
- Merged faxmachine and faxmachine_vr files.
- Fixed an issue where a character could not remove their ID from an unpowered fax machine.
Additional Update
- Fixed ghosts being audible from the stardog.
- Fixed stardog checking prefs on releasing prey.
- Fixed hostile dog mobs spawning on the stardog.
- Fixed new vore mobs being hostile even when their capacity is full.
2023-07-31
- Added a new craftable weapon that can be made from most materials: Staves! They are not particularly strong as weapons but have a few unique perks;
- First, using it two-handed allows you to occasionally block/parry incoming melee attacks. This includes melee attacks from hostile simple mobs, not just players.
- Second, being on disarm stance increases the chance to block/parry and gives a decent chance to briefly weaken any opponent you hit (the tradeoff being that you still need to be wielding it and if you're in disarm stance your attacks deal half damage).
- Added recolourable fingerless gloves to the loadout. Found as a dropdown/selector with 'classic' black fingerless gloves.
- Adjusted colour balance of some underwear pieces (boxers, most tanktops, undershirt) to better match other underwears, and added HYPER briefs and boxers styled after the HYPER jumpsuit to the list of underwear options.
- Added a new EventKit verb: Manage Event Triggers
- Allows for the creation, deletion and teleporting to of new event landmarks.
- The Notification landmark, event_trigger, can be set to notify the creator when player character passes over it.
- The Narration landmark, auto_narrate, allows for automated messages when triggered, either directly to the player triggering it, or as a sound/emote in the visible area.
- Added the ability to add atoms to entity narrate whilst in buildmode. In AI mode, use ALT + middle mouse button to add the atom to entity narrate.
- Added new functionality to "MobSpawner" utility within Eventkit for staff: The ability to spawn mobs with custom AI settings!
- A toggle must be clicked (it must be green) for it to override default values
- Selecting a new mob from path will set AI settings to that mob's defaults
- There is no filtering on what AI types you may add to the mob, however most generic types are generally usable
- Added the means for staff to initialize new mob ai or modify existing ai type:
- There is a new option in the View Variables dropdown list called "Enable/Modify AI"
- This brings up a list of AI_holder types that can be applied to the mob.
- The user is then asked to choose a faction for the mob.
- The user then chooses harm or help intent for the mob.
- The user is finally asked whether they would like the mob to wake up.
- Moved the ai initialization proc out from mob/living/Initialize() into its own proc.
- Changed a variety of different types of underwear to be more white, so that they can be more easily recoloured.
- Changed entity_narrate to allow bold, italics and underlined formatting for all atoms.
- Replaced references in entity narrate with weakrefs, to allow for better handling of deleting the attached atoms.
- Fixed the diredog pAI chassis by moving it to 64x64.
2023-07-23
- Added 6 new types of tallborg chassis to dogborg modules, including belly sprites: MEKA, MEKA v2, NIKA, NIKO, K4T and K4Talt. Created by ghostsheep.
- Added a recolourable flannel jacket.
- Changed the coin press to a much simpler method of operation: it is now a basic hand-operated press that turns one ingot into six coins (loss of 500 material units in shavings/etc.) after two seconds, placing them at the user's feet. It will continue to process as long as your in-hand stack has sheets on it, and if you move away during the process it aborts.
- Changed the admin notification for a new player first joining the server to something less intrusive.
2023-07-19
- Added five new buttons to the UI:
- A small L button on the right that opens the "Check Known Languages" menu.
- A small P putton on the right that opens the "Set Pose" verb.
- An up and down arrow on the right side that activates the Move Upwards and Move Downwards verbs respectively.
- A U button above the hands (opposite the E button) that uses whatever is in your active hand on yourself, allowing you to do stuff like eat food whilst in a belly.
- [An image of the new options can be seen here.]
- Renamed the verb "Subtle (Custom)" to "Custom Subtle", to prevent it getting in the way when autocompleting in the command bar.
- Fixed PDA records missing linebreaks.
- Fixed communicator weather app gibberish.
- Bumped TGUI's word-wrap from 1.2.3 to 1.2.4.
Additional Update
- Added a Twin Drills Long hair style.
- Added a cooldown to the 'use item on self' button.
- Added the ability for borgs and mice to use mouse holes.
- Changed "You're not holding anything to use." to "You're not holding anything to use. You need to have something in your active hand to use it."
- Reverted "Custom Subtle" to "Subtle (Custom)" as it was putting the custom subtle before the normal subtle option, making autocomplete less convenient.
2023-07-17
- Added two new UI elements and verbs: Autowhisper and Autowhisper mode.
- The verb counterparts of these elements are "Toggle Autowhisper" and "Set Autosubtle Mode" respectively.
- Autowhisper, the button on the left, is a simple toggle. When enabled, all say/me use will be replaced with whisper/subtle!
- Autowhisper Mode, the button on the right, allows one to configure the settings that subtle will use, using the new custom subtle modes. It also allows one to automatically use psay/pme if conditions are right. The setting must be set each round, but it will remember your settings for the round, and you can enable and disable that setting with a simple push of the autowhisper button!
- Using hotkeys for say and me with autowhisper enabled will still show your characters speech bubble, but the resulting action will be whispered or subtled.
- [See an image of the new UI elements here.]
2023-07-16
- Added a generic 'spacefish migration' event, this replaces active fish events. This picks a type of fish for the event, rather than having an individual event for each type of fish.
2023-07-15
- Added a new "Custom Subtle" verb, that allows you to do subtle posts in specific ways. Subtle messages using this verb are marked with a (T). This is a new verb and does not affect the normal subtle verb. It has the following options:
- Adjacent Turfs - literally normal subtle
- My Turf - subtle but only your own turf
- My Table - subtle that is sent to everyone adjacent to the tables you're adjacent to
- Current Belly (Prey) - subtle sent only to your current pred as well as everyone within same belly
- Specific Belly (Pred) - subtle sent only to prey inside chosen belly of yours
- Specific Person - subtle sent only to one person (chosen from list of people who could possibly have recieved your message in normal subtle).
- Added The One Pizza, made in the pizza by combining all of the ingredients of every other pizza type.
- Added a colourable giant bow headwear item.
- Added colour variety to lizards.
- Added black mice.

- Changed the birthday sound properly this time.
- Fixed TGUI input of the birthday system not submitting chosen dates.
2023-07-07
- Added a new birthday field to character setup:
- When your character's birthday passes, you will be given an option to increase their age by the number of years that have passed.
- This is entirely optional, you do not have to give them a birthday, and you can choose not to increment their age.
- The "Announce?" option makes it so that if you log in as a character on their birthday, it will be announced to the shift and a happy birthday message will play.
- Added markings styled off zorgoia! This includes ears, a tail, a taur body, and a fat taur body (no vwag toggle or loaf). Up-Ported with permission from the creator, Shadowfire117.
- Added the ability to make electrochromic window buttons (circuit from autolathe, frame on wall, like fire alarms), electrochromic (polarized) window multitool interactions actually work now.
- Added the ability to weld certain floor panels (mostly metals) back into place.
- Added the ability to make pretty bushes out of grass.

- Fixed a bunch of chem name typos in the new health analyser guides.
- Fixed catwalk construction eating metal rods before completing the catwalk.
- Fixed celldrain and cellcharge having a global range proc.
- Fixed various oversights for effect paths being moved to rarities.
2023-07-05
- Health analysers now have a feature that gives basic instructions on how to treat detected medical conditions.
- This can be toggled with the 'Toggle Guidance' verb on the analysers.
- This is disabled by default on standard, improved and advanced health analysers.
- A new 'Instructional health analyser' has been added that has this enabled by default, with a new sprite and name that should hopefully stand out to new players that won't know to enable the guidance on other analysers. Otherwise, this analyser is identical to the standard health analyser mechanically.
- The new information requires the user to have medical access (but NOT ID changing access). This is to prevent job stealing from other departments that might see this information as an RP reason to know how to treat someone.
- The main goal of this addition is to help new players who do not have a mentor with them and may be overwhelmed by the looking up the medical system whilst under time pressure.
- Added a new "puzzlebox" to be used by event-runners and mappers alike: broken_drone_circuit! Given some simple var-edits, you can hide lore inside a drone brain for players to solve (or shock themselves with failing!).
- Added a new POI for the Debris Field.
- Reduced thresholds for brain damage to be detectable by health analysers.
2023-07-03
- Added four new pAI chassis, each with vore bellies: Dire Wolf, Horse (Lune), Horse (Soliel) and Dragon.
- Added Large number of clothes ported from citRP and 2 hairs & 2 gradients from skyrat.
- Added new Preference tab verb : Toggle-TGUI-Input-Lock for pressing enter in TGUI text input. This verb works the same as the button toggle in the character set-up, and persists.
- Changed Admin/GM tool "Entity Narrate" so that non-mob entities are prefixed with "The" when narrated through if they don't have a Proper Noun as a name.
- Changed Rascal's Pass Level 1 Café and Bar to each have a sink integrated to their countertops.
- Changed Redgate map "Innland" tavern accesses, removing them.
- Changed Mob spawning for away missions. This does not affect present gameplay, but enables developers to define semi-random mob spawning on a per-area basis rather than be reliant on the away mission.
- Changed another feature for developers: fake suns are modified so it's easier to synchronize lighting across multiple connected Z levels.
- Changed BL-3/P mech accessory code moved to module/research/mechfab_designs_vr . This does not affect gameplay.
- Changed Contributing.md to reflect new state of server: we are no longer a polaris downstream; _vr files or /*Vorestation Edit*/ and similar are no longer necessary.
- Per discord announcement, goal is to refractor code to remove the bloat and clunkiness this former requirement introduced for easier readability in the coming future.
- Fixed: Shadekin & prometheans to now use user preference (default galcom) rather than unique species language as default language
- Fixed survivor pods by adding a preference under the special roles section (same area as "be pAI, maintpred") to enable/disable survivor pod ghost prompts.
- This will likely default to False for most users, if interested in spawning as a off-station character during Debris Field expeditions, it's recommended to review these settings!
- Fixed A.I (job role) and borgs so that they can no longer tip medibots through cameras.
- Fixed Synths when using the recharger not gaining appropriate amounts of nutrition.
- Fixed Objects crafted using material stacks that could not be recycled.
- Fixed Runtime errors regarding mobs being thrown into blast doors and from looking up in non-planetary outdoors resolved
Additional Update
- Reorganised the directory paths of many mobs to make more sense. This means that telesci mistakes may now also spawn mobs!
- Removed some round start spam about away mission stuff being spawned.
- Chickens now have sprites in the editor again.
2023-06-25
- A new Redgate has been added to map! This is a gateway that any of the crew can access that leads to a random map, but they are generally safe enough for all crew to explore without much preparation. Teppi and vore mobs are abundant on these maps.
- Added the ability to climb walls:
- Certain walls are now able to be climbed (marked by examining).
- Anyone can attempt to climb a wall, but if they do not have an appropriate trait, they will fail 80% of the time.
- Traceur trait now also reduces the chance of failing to climb.
- "Climber, Amateur", costs 1 point for removing fall chance (all species can take)
- "Climber, Professional" that climbs faster, costing 2 pts (all species can take)
- "Climber, Natural" for 0 points (xenochim and custom only)
- Vassilians and Taj are master climbers
- Borgs and simple mobs can also attempt to climb walls. Catslugs have a special mechanic for climbing walls where they can climb very fast if they drop their spear.
- You can also attempt to climb down walls, but have a 75%+ chance of falling if it's not a climbable wall.
- Added various new decals for mapping.
- Added new sweatmax vendor options: More variations of Liquid Food, five flavours of Protein Packets, and water bottles.
- Added some altevian props for events and mapping.
- Changed sprites for protein shakes and shaker cups.
- Tweaked holobadge definition to have per-badge defined access rather than have it hardcoded into attackby.
- Tweaked holobadge attackby logic to use the newly introduced var for checking access. Using these, fixed IAA "Investigator" badge from not being usable by IAA.
- Replaced blast shutter with "thin gate" like rest of the shutters on the tether kitchen and added some additional firelocks.
- Significantly reworked sci-aerostat solars airlocks.
- Significantly reworks V2 outpost airlock and Aerostat (SD) ferry airlock, reducing their cycle time.
- Updated sprites for Vox prosthetics.
- Fixed teshari hardhat sprites.
- Fixed mining explosives no longer spawning mhydrogen/platinum.
- Fixed missing fur coat in loadout.
- Fixed mining satchels being able to pick up bluespace crystals by repathing them from obj/item/weapon/ore subtype to obj/item/weapon subtype.
- Fixed synthtaur sprite issues causing them to be naked.
- Fixed south-east sci-aerostat solar airlock starting Unbolted.
- Fixed the chemmaster dispensing options not working with the enter key and missing inputted values by reverting changes to Modal.js.
- Fixed some spelling mistakes.
Additional Update
- Update to a redgate map to prevent chickens suffocating in their spawn room, and prevent people suffocating in mines.
- Added an exception list to redgates to allow specified items to pass through. Initially, this includes ore boxes.
- Added a number of classic hardhat options.
- Replaced some GB wall lockers with painted ones.
- Added admin logging to morph and maintpred ghost pods.
- Fixes bug where climber, natural did not properly change their variables.
- Tweaked climbing custom_emote to be visible_message instead for more elegant handling.
2023-06-18
- Major overhaul of the loadout system aimed at reducing the now excessive clutter available in it, be aware that you may have to reselect some of your loadout options that have either moved or been added to part of a grouped option:
- Casual dress is now under its own "casual dress" category
- The Uniform Selectors tab has been renamed to just uniforms
- Selectors for all uniforms have been reduced to 1pt cost for consistency with other uniform costs (for some reason I had it in my head that certain uniforms cost slightly more because they had integrated armour or the like)
- Uniforms that were previously listed seperately are now only available through the relevant selector, but none have been (intentionally) removed
- Several items have been compressed down using selection menus where there are multiple (3+) similar items of a very similar type, for instance basic coloured gloves, softcaps, cowboy hats, leather jackets, and so on
- Departmental hat selectors have been added for Security and Medical since they had enough to warrant them
- A new EMT softcap has been added to mirror the basic Medical softcap
- Loadout no longer inexplicably excludes a particular brand of cigarettes
- In a similar vein, two brands are now no longer premium (that is coin-only) items in cigarette machines
- Added ability for multi-colored colorable belly overlays to exist.
- Added a new recolourable belly screen created by VerySoft using the above feature, so that the shiny white parts stay shiny white even with colour.
- Added 3 new taur bodies, all a variant of "Synthetic chassis - agile": Normal, Fat and Vwag Fat (which can use vwag to switch between the previous two).
- Added the ability to move through people who are intentionally pixel shifted.
- Changed ERP preferences to from "top" and "bottom" to "dominant" and "submissive" with partial "dom-pref" and "sub-pref" options added.

- Adjusted altevian weapons so that the pistol now has less ammo and the rifle has more rounds to fire.
- Admin logs now list when a player enters disposals intentionally, when a micro is placed in them or by stumbling.

2023-06-12
- Added a new section to belly options on the vore panel called Dogborg Controls:
- These options are only visible when the user is currently playing as a dogborg (this currently includes hounds, raptors and drakes).
- Toggle Belly Overlay Mode allows you to choose whether your vore belly sprite is displayed when prey is in your vorepanel bellies or the borg sleeper module.
- Minimum Prey for Vorebelly allows you to set the number of objects or prey inside of a belly to have the sprite show, this does not account for the size of the prey.
- Minimum Size for Overlay allows you to set the minimum size a prey must be to cause a vore belly to appear, these do not add up and at least one prey must be this size.
- Toggle Prey Override ignores the minimum size requirement for prey to show the belly, provided that the minimum prey override value is reached.
- Minimum Prey Override allows you to set the minimum number of prey required to trigger the Prey Override setting if it is turned on.
- Removed the Stellar Delight's extra exploration seating area that replaced the pathfinders office by moving the briefing room into it. Extra maintenance has been added to the area that the briefing room was moved out from.
- A new Cobra Hood (Large) ears has been added. The old cobra head marking and hair has been renamed Cobra Hood (small).
- Two new mermaid tails have been added, both of which are colourable: "Mermaid Alt. (Taur)" and "Mermaid Koi (Taur)". The latter has two colourable sets of markings.
- Added two missing options for the shark 'head' parts that were previously missing ("shark upper ears and fin alt style (Colorable)" and "shark lower ears and fin (Colorable)"), as well as spruced-up their sprites.
- Added Suit Storage sprites, Robotic Storage sprites, Robotic Storage console sprites and Suit Cycler sprites.
- Added new hard hat sprites.
- Ported the Cigar cases from /TG, as well as the cheap lighter sprites which now use a custom color/sprite randomizer, so there's plenty more options for your cheaper-than-dirt lighters.
- Ported over the Suit Cooler sprite from Baystation and added in a new Emergency Cooler Sprite.
- Various tweaks have been made to the space traffic announcements. These range from a more randomised time between chatter, and the potential for some internal command comms to leak out.

- Extended the trait tutorial descriptions for Long Predatorial Reach.
- Added a new verb in the "EventKit" tab: Report Player Status. This verb provides a list of players in each area who are currently active and details how long it has been since they last acted.

- Added four new admin verbs that allow staff to make mobs, objects and turfs emote:
- Narrate Entity (takes 3 positional arguments in form of narrate-entity "identifier" "mode" "narration" and makes the entity associated with the identifier say/emote that. This only works for those on personal list.
- Narrate Entity (Interface) does as above, but walks the user through picking each var. It's planned to create a TGUI interface for rapid narration by just selecting buttons that stay that way and on the screen, and the user can press a button to create a input that gets sent.
- Narrate Entity (Add ref) is a right click verb on all visible atoms & turfs and mob/living in view range that the user can give a unique identifier that does not show up in-game for easy referencing.
- Narrate Entity (Remove ref) removes refs to avoid bloat from no-longer-relevant entities at will.
- Added a new tab for staff called EventKit.

- Added new logic for the bloodsucker ability where "Always Subtle" and "Subtle, Bleedless" options no longer place blood splatter on the ground.
- Changed bloodsucker subtle modes to use italics rather than bolds.
- Minor decal and sprite tweaks to crates.

- Updated the "Scug Picnic" Rascal's Pass POI to use the Picnic Blanket. Also cleaned it up somewhat to better sell the idea of "Cute scugs eating messily"

- TGUI updated, most notable changes are:
- More conversion to TypeScript (for proper code completion, in-editor error line thingies, autodocs etc.), mostly for the core files
- Unit tests for some of the Core Files so if some of those are touched in the future, tests can be run to test out if those functions still works or output the expected things on specific input
- The "Kitchen Sink" has had it's pages updated (build tgui with 'yarn tgui:build' to get the development bundle and get a nice button to see it)

If this is enabled, you will be able to use linebreaks in TGUI text boxes, but will have to mouse click submit. You can swap between this at any time in character setup and it will instantly apply.
- Added a new Global Vore Privacy preference. If set to private, it will change the range of messages that show up when putting someone into a belly or expelling them from anyone that can see your sprite to subtle range.
- Added a new Toggle Vore Privacy setting in the vore panel options tab, that allows you to override your global vore privacy setting on a per belly basis.

However, if you've actually damaged them at all, or anyone else has, they will still attack to the death.
- Raptor borgs have been expanded to cover the full range of dogborg modules, they can be found under: Traumahound, Custodial Hound, Pupdozer, Service Hound (includes a V-4000 version that has a dumb tophat waistcoat and monocle on request.), Supply Hound.

2023-05-07

- Examining the various tesla and singularity components (EB generator, field generator, grounding rod, tesla coil, emitter) will now report their anchored/welded states (as applicable) in text so that you don't have to figure it out by subtle changes to their sprites, by rubbing your face all over them, or by testing them with a wrench/welder.
- Added the shock maul to the list of weapons that mining drones ignore.
- Removed the visible emote from toggling AR hud to bring them in-line with other toggles.

- Cleaned up more instances of certain reinforced windows having massively inflated health pools. Mostly affected Tether Xenobiology wing, but applied to a couple other spots too.
2023-04-16
- Added a new weapon: The Concussion Maul. This heavy sledgehammer-like weapon must be wielded in two hands and charged up for maximum effectiveness, but can deal serious damage and send enemies flying with stunning force. It must be powered with weapon cells and only receives a very limited number of uses per cell. When charged, it can also be used to pulverize mineable rock walls and certain obstacles like grilles and barricades. It can rarely be found in abandoned crates. When used in disarm mode, charged hits gain additional knockback and stun duration. It can't inflict stun or knockback if used one-handed.

- Adds the following taur suit sprites for wolftaurs and (original) nagas: Eng/Sec/Med Commonwealth, All departments of Talon/Refurb.

- A new backend option has been added that allows simplemobs to be slowed down, or sped up, when injured. This is by default disabled but could be used in future for mobs made with it in mind.
- Allowed Raptor pAI to recolor 'eyes' (along with other coloured features of it's body).
