Due to my intelligence and skill, I accidentally didn't properly apply the fixes in the last hotfix. Now they're fixed but actually. These were:

  • Fixed an error related to the removed bearing ball recipe.

  • Fixed an error related to "junkfood_allergen". Both of these errors were harmless, but annoying.

  • Removed the large adjustable wrench from the game. This wrench didn't really do anything special and wasn't a pipe wrench like apparently everyone thought, so it wasn't even a decent weapon, just an unnecessary variation on a common item.

Additionally, in this update:

  • Greatly boosted the acid resistance of vinyl, rubber, soft rubber, titanium alloy, biosilicified chitin, and synthetic fabric. Boosted the acid resistance of kevlar, nomex, copper, and treated leather a medium amount, and slightly boosted the acid resistance of steel, wool, and canvas. Remember that this is not a boost to how much these items protect you, it's a boost to their resistance to being damaged.

    • These numbers will change again soon, but in the meantime, this will protect items which should be pretty safe from even the strongest acid.

  • Boosted the fire damage protection for feathers from 0 to 2. This only applies to the feathers mutation. Feathers are very flammable but they're also highly insulating, and might buy a bird a second or two to get away from that raging inferno or laser robot (I should add a laser robot). Note that this isn't protection from heat, it's just protection from direct contact with flames or lasers.
