Game Development: Silken Sled

We've been developing, and here's what's new.

New Implementations
-----------------------

• Added two new equipment slots: "Shoulders" & "Mask" (names could be debated). Wings (Bee/Ant Queen, Hussar Wings) now consistently occupy the "Shoulders" slot, leaving them uncontroversially compatible with backpacks and capes. "Coracle"s now also occupy the "Shoulders" slot, avoiding conflicts with capes and backpacks. Masks (e.g. "Goat Mask", "Boreworm Mask", "Jack-o'-Mask") now go in the "Mask" slot, leaving them compatible with e.g. pipes and spectacles.
• Added "Primitive Sled". A simple sled for pulling cargo overland. The sled can be carried on your back if empty, or pulled behind you if loaded. Do note, as with Corcacles, that variable materials on the sled won't be properly represented while carried on your back, fix pending. The "Primitive Sled", if carried as equipment, sits in the "Shoulders" slot. The "Primitive Sled" can pull two pieces of cargo. Slaem & Hearth confirmed!
• Added "Silk Backpack", expands your inventory by 3 columns, rather than the 2 of the leather backpack.
• Added "Rope Belt", a simple toolbelt made from rope.
• Added "Feather Tassel", gilding made from "Feather".
• Added "Bushmeat Strips", simple meat recipe.
• Added "Wound Glue", bushcraft medicine treating "Cruel Incision", "Fell Slash", and "Nasty Laceration".

Key Fixes
-----------------------

• Inventory extending pieces of equipment can now, quite simply, be uneuipped, even if doing so would leave your inventory overloaded. While you have items in unequipped inventory slots, you will have the "Overloaded" debuff. The "Overloaded" debuff will, periodically, attempt to move items into your inventory, or, failing that, drop them to ground. The "Overloaded" debuff will not take effect if you are knocked out, or dead. Happy to take input on this, as it may be at least somewhat controversial.

Small Fixes
-----------------------

• Fixed a small problem which prevented one player from adding curiosities to another, logged off, player's study table.

As always, if you liked what we did here: Support the patch.

Today's Patch Item, for the fair price of $7 is the "Chernobyl Ushanka".

$7 This hat saw a strange flash from the local power plant illuminate the night, and has felt glowing ever since!

All Gold & Silver subscribers have been awarded the "Chernobyl Ushanka", free of charge.
