These weapons are: Chromosword (Cellshade), Coral Cleaver (Heat Cleaver), Cutarrh (Katarrhna), Undergrowth Trimmer (Overgrown Mower), Splatterknife (Gutterknife), Smashroom (Blighchen), Terminite (X-Terminitor), Hackman (Hackmanight)
  • Hackmanight no longer acts as fuel. Description modified to not mention uranium

  • Added procedurally generated shortswords, crappy shortswords, and crappy daggers

  • Betabound procedural assault rifles removed and merged with their vanilla counterparts. Physical procgen assault rifles can now have the 'fast' bullet type.
  • Betabound procedural grenade launchers removed and merged with their vanilla counterparts. Fire procgen grenade launchers can now have the 'Mario Fireball' projectile type.
  • Cardinal's Chalcedony weapon no longer damages allies

  • This should help avoid accidentally toggling it
  • Particle Thrust/Butterfly Boost/Bubble Boost: can now change direction with WASD without having to repress space.

• Equipment
  • Durability on pickaxes and drills massively nerfed. It's been so long since I've used a repair tool.

  • Changed the descriptions of repair tools to indicate approximately how much durability they restore
  • Crouching when using the Portable Pixel Printer will attempt to place it lower

  • The All-Seeing Cape that lets players see further is now the All-Seeing Eye
  • Drill block radius reduced from 4 to 2
  • Removed Lightweight Watering Can as it makes the vanilla Watering Can redundant and looks similar

• Food

    • Breakneck Sprint and Rollyball no longer conflict
    • Fix some muzzle flashes not being animated
    • Obtaining a Slingshot no longer prompts a tutorial message about bows
    • Adjusted several vanilla "Unique Weapon" categories. You're telling me this Dragonhead PISTOL isn't a pistol, but actually a completely foreign thing that requires us to pull out the "Unique" category?
