Only critical failures result in arrow or bolt breakage.** If the arrowhead is XPL (Explosive): All hits and misses result in detonation, making explosive arrows 100% non-reusable.** If the arrowhead is IMP (Improvised): Misses and critical misses result in breakage. Only hits are reusable.

==== [[Addictions]] ====
* New addiction mechanics simplifying the previous system: As before, using a substance comes with a percentage chance of becoming addicted. However, the withdrawal tiers now function differently and more simply. Now, every use of an addictive substance is a chance to increase the current addiction level by 1, from the minimum of 0 (no effects) to the maximum of 3.
* Instead of disabling corresponding withdrawal effects when an addictive substance's effects are active, withdrawal effects are now truly permanent and continue being active even if the character uses the corresponding substance. In other words, usage effects and withdrawal effects now stack.
* [[Hospital]]: Addiction removal is now tier based and depends on the current level. It now costs 250 P$ and 2 day periods of mandatory rest per level, up to 750 P$ and 6 day periods (1 full day) for treating a single Level 3 addiction.
* Addiction effects: To account for the possibility of med effects and withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the following withdrawal effects have been modified:
** Nicotine withdrawal
*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%
** Alcohol withdrawal
*** Level 1: Need a drink (level 1) applies to this character (see below),
*** Level 2: Need a drink (level 2) applies to this character (see below), Agility -1
*** Level 3: Need a drink (level 3) applies to this character (see below), Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations
** Cannabis withdrawal
*** Level 1: Mild munchies
*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%, Mild munchies, Mild thirst
*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst
** Anabolic steroid withdrawal
*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%
*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 60.0%
*** Level 3: Minimum Stress set to 90.0%, Rage
** Sick hakutaku syndrome
*** Level 1: IR +1
*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1
*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations
= November 15th 2020 === [[Effects]] ===='''Version 5* Alcohol affinity ([[Oni]] creature trait): Effect simplified. Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of [[Effects#Stress|Need a drink]] to compensate, this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the normal amount of Inebriation.57''' - * The "Need a drink" effect has been delineated into 4 variants; Level 0, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. In essence, the "Need a drink" effect progressively offers less and less Stress relief per Inebriation gained as your character'''Shotgun Blitz''' updates level of Alcohol addiction increases.
Changes to [[Ammunition]]:
* All shotgun calibers ([[12 gauge]], [[12 gauge CAWS]], [[20 gauge]], [[.410 bore]]) have had their buckshot, slug, and flechette base damage revised, in compliance with newly obtained data; 20 gauge buckshot and flechette have been buffed, everything else received very minor adjustments..
* [[12 gauge CAWS]]: Flechette shells now carry 30 projectiles instead of 20.
* New shotgun projectile type: '''AP-Slug''', an armor-piercing slug. No retail availability, these projectiles must be handloaded.
* Establishment of '''barrel length groups for all shotgun calibers'''. All four receive 4 groups each: Hunting, Combat, Short, and Super-short. See each individual caliber page for damage multipliers.
Changes to [[Civilized Areas]]:= August 24th 2022 =* [[Towns]]: There is no longer any distinction between a "shop hub" with few emplacements and a "mall" with many'''Version 6. All town shop hubs now possess 5 streets and 10 shop emplacements; 8 [[individual shop|individual shops]], a [[restaurant]] and a [[bar]].* Certain types of [[individual shop]] may be closed on certain [[Calendar#Days|days of the week]]; these are known as inventory days, during which the shop is being restocked.3''' The R&R Update
Changes to ==== [[CraftingBasic mechanics]]:====* Created and defined the concept of [[Specs docsDowntime]]: Docs no longer unlock Specs docs-only items for sale, requiring the tracking of a list of documents brought for each character. The Proving Grounds engineer now requires player characters to trade in the correct documents for ''each'' item, alongside money (and in some cases, specific items). In exchange, these items cost significantly less than they used to - all prices were slashed to 1/4 their previous values.
Changes to [[Lockpicking]]:
* As part of the ongoing work to update all locations, FL/HS locks are now deprecated. The only lock types in the game are now mechanical locks and electronic (keycard) locks.

Changes to [[Weapons]]:
* New concept introduced: '''Traditional inner tubes'''. Refers to certain firearms - specifically, lever-action rifles - that do not possess a side-loading gate, and are instead reloaded by using a traditional, Henry-style inner tube.
** Reloading a traditional tube rifle is done the same way as a single-action revolver; a full reloading action is required to remove the tube, then the normal loose rounds rule applies (up to 3 rounds per turn). The tube is replaced automatically when the character is done reloading.
* The [[Winchester Model 270]] stats have been modified to reflect that it is a rifle with a traditional inner tube.

==== Basic game mechanics ====Changes to shops and servicesthe following core game mechanics:* The style shop has been revamped completely and is now a custom clothing service.** Completely custom human/halfling clothing items and youkai outfits can be designed there. The basic principle is for the player Major change to describe, in free-form, what the item is supposed to look like, then to purchase protection ratings, covered body parts, effects, and more in order to give the custom item a useful purpose. This service is intentionally ''very expensive''.* Dojos have been expanded, and now offer various machines and training programs designed to improve a character's natural statistics:** The stats that can be improved are '''Natural [[Pain Sensitivitylimb groups]], Natural [[Strength]], Max [[Blood]], Max [[Limb health|Limb HP]], Natural [[Endurance]], and Natural [[Agility]]'''** Each training program has an XP counter. Spending time (and effort) on a training nets XP, which can be spent to increase one natural stat, up to certain limits (some stats cannot be trained further once they reach a certain value, others have a maximum XP limit)** Training program XP is now tracked on inventory sheets.* The bank's item vault service has been modifiedsystem:** Item vaults are no longer free and unlimited. A player character must first purchase an item vault before it can be used; this costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''1000''' and allows the player access to a 50-unit vault. This vault can be upgraded in 50-unit increments, up hits to the maximum size of 400 units; upgrading costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]LIMB group now cause '''(size x 15)'''** Withdrawing items from a vault now costs [[File:Parallar symbol0.png|10px]]5x'''500 + damage (weight of items withdrawn x 10same as hits to the EXTREMITIES)''', and it is not possible to withdraw more than 150 units instead of items at oncethe previous 0.** Withdrawing items from a vault now requires waiting for 1d3 day periods (between 4 and 12 hours), as delivery time.** [[LBE]] items must be stored empty. LBE items that cannot be folded down (e.g. most backpacks) are not allowed inside the vault anymore4x.

===== Changes to [[Recoil]]:rations =====* Recoil calculation and effects no longer rely on exact shot order, but now instead only needs total shots fired, significantly cutting down on the amount of time that needs to be spent counting and checking shots.* The new Recoil system works as follows: Every Recoil level has a limit of shots (the Accuracy Drop Threshold, or ADT) that can be fired - if a character shoots over ADT, accuracy and aim wandering effects are applied to the entirety of the shot string, and not just the shots that go over ADT. A second level with even more severe penalties is applied if the amount of shots fired is equal to more than double the limit.** As before, going over ADT will result in aim wandering (which sends shots to &bodyaim instead of the desired point of aim), however instead of being applied only starting from the shot that went over the limit, aim wandering applies to ALL shots if the total amount of shots fired goes over the limit. [[Weapon accessories#Laser sights|Laser sights]] still cancel out this aim wandering effect.** Accuracy windows and effects contents of going over ADT once and twice will also be updatedspecific rations have been changed.
Changes to [[Combat mode]] and [[Weapons]]; specifically, '''[[Weapons#Firearm failure types|critical failure]]''' effects* Ration B1:* Like with Recoil changes above, critical failure effects no longer rely on knowing exact shot order, but only the total shot count, Added 1 extra pack of whole wheat biscuits and in particular the critical failure count.1 can of spam** '''Failures to eject (stovepipes)'''Ration B2: For every stovepipe that occurs, the two highest scoring shots (excluding critical failures) are cancelled. If 3 stovepipes occur in a single string of fire, the 6 highest scoring shots are never fired.

New [[ammunition types]] for pistol and rifle calibers:* '''Tracer (T)''': FMJ bullets with an illuminating compound at the base of the bullet, which lights up and displays bright, colored light when fired. Tracer ammunition is used to visibly see the flight path of a bullet, and is useful for controlling long strings of fire, particularly full auto, as it allows a shooter to physically see where the bullets are going.** Effects: Increases ADT by a certain amount of shots, which scales with Recoil level. However, it always breaks Stealth even when shot with a silenced firearm; the tracer light works both ways and can be seen by others, thus revealing your position.*** Recoil 1-2: ADT +4 shots*** Recoil 3-4: ADT +3 shots*** Recoil 5-6: ADT +2 shots*** Recoil 7-8: ADT +1 shots* '''Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP)''': Also known as metal-piercing bullets, they offer a lower cost alternative to full AP or APX, but are less effective at defeating armored targets.** Effects: 0.8x damage against unarmored ACs, 1.3x damage against armored ACs.* Retail ammunition using these new projectiles is now also available:** [[.22 Long Rifle]]: Standard T** [[.30 Carbine]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T** [[.30-06 Springfield]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[.303 British]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[.32 ACP]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[.357 Magnum]]: Standard SAP** [[.357 SIG]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon SAP** [[.380 ACP]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T** [[.40 S&W]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense T, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon T, Pocket Dragon SAP** [[.45 ACP]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense T, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon T, Pocket Dragon SAP, Milsurp T** [[.50 BMG]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[4.6x30mm]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[5.45x39mm]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[5.56x45mm NATO]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[5.7x28mm]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[5.8x42mm]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[7.62x25mm Tokarev]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP, Milsurp Cold T, Milsurp Cold SAP, Milsurp Hot T, Milsurp Hot SAP** [[7.62x39mm]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Reduced Velocity SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[7.62x54mm R]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP** [[7.62x51mm NATO]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[7.92x33mm Kurz]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[7.92x57mm Mauser]]: Standard T, Milsurp T** [[9x18mm Makarov]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, High Impulse T, High Impulse SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP, Milsurp Hot T, Milsurp Hot SAP** [[9x19mm Parabellum]]: Standard T, Standard SAP, Personal Defense T, Personal Defense SAP, Pocket Dragon T, Pocket Dragon SAP, Milsurp T, Milsurp SAP, Milsurp Hot T, Milsurp Hot SAP** [[10x25mm Auto]]: Standard SAP===== Other food related changes =====

* The [[Cover]] system has received multiple modifications aimed at simplifying their purpose and function:
** Cover no longer have pass-through thresholds or corresponding Pain modifiers (like [[trauma plates]]).
** Deleted the "full protection" trait (which protected against bouncing explosives - of which there is [[VOG-25P|only one type]] currently)
** Modified the list of cover types (changed health and AC values on many of them)
* [[Explosives]]:
** Simplified the damage calculation method for pressure mines: full limb damage to legs/feet, 0.25x limb damage to everything else. (Previously, it also dealt 0.5x damage to torso/hips)
** Simplified injury calculation from explosive weapons. It is now dependent on base explosive damage; specifically, equal to '''BED / 4 rounded down''' (or in other words, for every 4 full points of limb damage dealt by an explosive weapon, 1 wound is also dealt).
* [[Chlorine bomb]] and Chlorine gas clouds:
** Removed the 25% chance to lose eyes per turn spent in a chlorine gas cloud. It was replaced by an additional damage effect (2 limb damage to a random body part per turn spent in a cloud).
* [[Crafting items]]

** New toolkit: '''Explosives Toolkit (XTK)'''. Costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''300''' and can be used up to 5 times. This kit allows users to repair dud explosives and defuse certain types of primed explosives more quickly than with bare hands; consumes 1 use per explosive repaired or defused.
* [[Effects]]
** '''Nausea''' is now a temporary effect which prevents using [[Food]] items. All items inducing Nausea are now given a turn duration, and no longer induces IR +1.
** '''Anti-Oni Syndrome''' now causes creatures under this effect to get [[Pain]] instead of [[Venom]] from drinking alcohol (1% Pain per 0.1 Inebriation). The Pain gained this way is '''fixed''' and ignores [[Pain Sensitivity]] entirely.
** '''Decompensation''' and '''Self-deterioration''' were simplified, introducing a system of points gained at Daily Reset. If these points reach a particular threshold, instant death occurs.
** Various effects were simplified or scrapped entirely.

Level 3: Pain Sensitivity -20%, Daily Reset Pain healed by 100%.)** '''Tanuki special abilities''': A new 9 TB ability called '''Still Hard''' is added.

* '''Buff to the [[gohei]] 37 new weapons and [[shaku]]''': Each weapon now gains a Charge point when killing a creature it is designed to deal double damage to, and for every Charge point it holds, the weapon deals an additional LDV+1. If at least 1 Charge point is in the weapon, the user can use a special attack ("Terminating Seal" for the gohei, "Cleansing Fire" for the shaku) which will allow the weapon to temporarily deal quadruple (4x) damage instead of just double against the species it is designed to hurt, for one turn only. On the following turn, the weapon loses all of its Charge points.* Introducing a new type of key item, the '''skeleton key'''; 10 different types exist, from Type 0 caliber added to Type 9. The purpose of a skeleton key is to open any mechanical lock, as long as the type matches the first digit of the lock's serial number (e.g. a Type 2 skeleton key will open any lock from 2000 to 2999).** Skeleton keys break after one use.** They can be sometimes found in '''&stuff'''.** They can also be crafted; two new crafting blueprints, '''SkelKeyA''' and '''SkelKeyB''' were introduced. In a first for the game, these recipes also require a certain skill level in Lockpicking in order to use (respectively30 firearms, Lv2 - Basic7 melee weapons, and Lv3 - Skilled).* Introducing a new type of toolkit, the '''hacking tool''', which is essentially an electronic lockpick. Hacking tools are disposable devices with electronic spoofing software; they can be used up to 10 times, then brick themselves.** It replaces the HX-1337 series of hacking augmentations, which have been scrapped from the game.** Modifications to the hacking mini-games were made to accomodate for the new hacking tool.** The '''&loginwords''' command was renamed to '''&words''', and its dictionary of words was increased from 810 to 8738 words.* '''Kasha buffs''': Kasha base stats have been improved (Base limb health: 43 -> 60, Max Blood 12 -> 17, Pain sensitivity 163% -> 117%), and their old "Savage" ability was removed, and replaced with two new abilities, '''Natural Hunter''' and '''Savage Mode''':** '''Natural Hunter''': As a passive ability, kasha claws are tough enough to allow for Butchering without the need for a suitable tool. All Kasha also start with Lv2 - Basic in Hunting.** '''Savage Mode''': Kasha can, at will, give themselves +10.0% Stress in exchange for +40% Strength and -40% Pain Sensitivity for 20 turns. If Savage Mode is already active, Kasha can activate the ability again to extend the remaining duration by another 20 turns.* '''Nerfing [[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|UHS ammunition]]''': It now deals including 1.3x damage (Pain and LDintegrated bayonet) instead of 1.4x.* '''Changes to MAIM''': Rie "Fireball" Kirari, being a kasha, now benefits from bringing the new abilities introduced above. Her natural Pain Sensitivity was also lowered total to 87%.* '''Changes to healing''': First Aid Kits and Field Surgery Kits now instantly heal HP instead of HP over time (Light: +7 HP; Strong: +12 HP). The bonuses introduced by the Healing skill now give additional HP to all of the limbs not targeted by the FAK/FSK - +1 HP at Basic, +2 HP at Skilled, +3 HP at Expert, and +4 HP at Master.

'''Version 5.41''' - Weapon accessory tweaks and simplifications
This update aims at trimming some more of the fat with game mechanics, specifically mechanics related to weapon accessories= January 1st 2022 ='''Version 6.3.7''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 7: Underbarrel weapons and Crude weapons
An accompanying Tsuchinoko update 12 new weapons added to the game (version 1372 firearms, 10 melee weapons) will be released on , bringing the same daytotal to 865.
== Changes to * Firearms:** [[weapon accessoriesList of underbarrel shotguns|Underbarrel shotguns]] ==* Scopes: All scope effects have been re-balanced.** Low* [[Lockhart UBS-power optics: No longer have a special effect boosting accuracy only when aiming at small body parts, and instead provides a flat FT-1 bonus.12]]** Medium* [[Ten-power optics: Now provides a FTX Tactical TX-2 bonus instead of FT-1.12 STW]]** High-power opticsMelee weapons: Now provides a IR-2 bonus instead of IR-1.** Extreme-power optics[[Class 5 Long weapons]]: Now provides a IR-2 bonus instead of IR-1.* Weapon lights:** [[Guitar]]** The dazzling effect mechanic has been entirely scrapped.* [[Mop]]** When someone with a weaponlight aims at a creature with night vision or NVGs active, it no longer causes a blindness effect. (Flashbangs are unaffected, they still cause enhanced blindness to creatures with night vision).* [[Signboard]]** Weaponlights switched on now '''automatically break stealth''', as they are sources of bright light that can be seen by everyone.* [[Skull staff]]* WL2 batteries have been '''entirely scrapped''', alongside three models of weapon light (Inforce APL, Inforce WML, and P3X Fury Tactical) due to redundancy.** [[Ted]]* One new type of dual modules introduced: the '''Streamlight TLR-4''', which can be fitted on * [[Class 5 Short interfaces.weapons]]:* All accessories that used to require WL2 batteries, no longer need them, and can function indefinitely. Integrated lights and lasers also no longer show a turn counter to represent battery life.** [[Crysknife]]* All character sheets must have the following modifications made: All Inforce APL lights are replaced by Surefire X300U lights, and all Inforce WML and P3X Fury Tactical lights are replaced by Surefire M620 lights.** [[Dart]]*** [[Ibuki Gourd]]*** [[Ice pick]]*** [[Worm tooth]]
== Other general changes ==New [[crafting]] items:* [[CoverBlueprints]] mechanics simplified (effectively returned to a previous state); the Exposure system (exposed/hidden) is scrapped: Skull blueprint, cover now returns to protecting the full bodies of everyone that is behind cover.Fremen blueprint* [[Crafting items#Ingredient items|Ingredient items]]: Preserved skull
= May 18th 2019 Prior versions ='''Version 5.4''' - Simplification update #3 : Stress and inaccurate hits
This update aims at further simplifying certain game mechanics. == General changes ==* Stress[[Changelog/2021]]: All stress levels from Moderate and up no longer cause incremental fatigue effects2021 updates.* Inaccurate hits with ranged weapons no longer call for a 1d2-1 check to determine if the shot hits. From now on, all inaccurate hits are hits.* All inaccurate hits now deal 0.7x Pain and Limb Damage, including in melee (down from 0.8x) = April 23rd 2019 ='''Version 5.3''' - Simplification update #2 : Blood This update aims at simplifying some of the mechanics related to the Blood statistic. == General changes ==* Blood no longer naturally heals at a rate of 0.1 per turn, making Pain the only statistic that naturally regenerates every turn no matter what. If you have no wounds, your current Blood level stabilizes at its current level.* Natural blood regeneration is now tied to the daily reset; on top of the nutrition/hydration that is normally lost at midnight ingame, your body will attempt to regenerate 1 unit of Blood on its own every day (as long as there are no open wounds at that moment). Upon hitting the daily resert, you will lose 150 ntri and 2% Fatigue, and regenerate 1 Blood instantly. This is intended to incite finding BTKs or pay for a medic. If neither is possible, the tried and tested "buy food and let it heal over a few days" also works, however it may take several in-game days for large amounts of lost Blood. * Blood Transfusion Kits now carry 3 units of Blood each instead of 5. Full BTKs now cost 350 P$ instead of 550 P$.* A new type of medical item ('''Epoetin-alfa''', syringe) can be consumed to start a 20-turn effect resembling the old natural regeneration effect: +0.1 Blood per turn, in exchange for -15 ntri and +0.2% Fatigue per turn. In total, the item would help your body regenerate up to 2 Blood but burn up to 300 ntri and 4% Fatigue. Syringes of Epoetin-alfa cost 100 P$, making them the cheapest syringe-type medical item.* Changes to '''Augmentations''': The Guardian LSS no longer increases the amount of Blood regenerated per turn, since that mechanic is gone. Instead, each level increases the amount of Blood regenerated every day by 1, at no extra cost of nutrition and fatigue. Level 1 therefore lets you heal 2 Blood per day, Level 2 is 3 Blood per day, and Level 3 is 4 Blood per day, all for the same cost of 150 ntri/2% Fatigue per turn, making it viable to heal large amounts of Blood loss over the space of a few days.* Changes to '''Clothing protections''': Buffs to protection ratings. ''-Resistant'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 4 limb damage (previously, 2), and ''-PROOF'' will prevent injuries on hits dealing up to 8 limb damage (previously, 4). = February 20th 2019 ='''Version 5.2''' - Extra game modes update This update introduces two new methods of playing MazeWorld: '''Survival''' and '''Freeform''', and retroactively renames the 'main' mode into '''Contestant Story''' or just '''Story'''. These new game modes, so to speak, aim at providing more flavors for players and future GMs to enjoy. == General changes ==* The [https:[Changelog//docs.google.com/forms/d/1fLN_YUoVStGt0ElBtVpyMg1bIvn1Eqxc3BuDJrdIkBk/ character sign-up form2020]] has been updated to account for the changes below. == Survival ==In this new mode, players adopt the role of a Survivor, whose only objective is to kill anyone that looks at them wrong, and survive as long as possible. Survival is mainly inspired from old-school MazeWorld, it is essentially an endless Uncivilized Area run, just as it once was. When playing Survival, players have the option to choose between two modes: '''Tier X''' (The game ends after completing X Challenges) or '''Endless''' (The game only ends with the Survivor's death, or at player request). The main differences introduced by Survival are as follows:* No towns or intersections as players know them - Survival is an endless Uncivilized Area streak, equivalent to a Deep route. Explorable areas can even still be found and completed for their rewards!* Nutrition and Hydration Reset occur every time the Survivor reaches a Trading Post (TP reset). In turn, the reset is much lower than normal. The base values are 420 ntri and 140 wtr (0.2x a normal daily reset).* Date and time are not tracked.* No Faction Reputation and no Renown to worry about.* All skills are unlocked: Survivors start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills (unless skill levels were purchased at Startgame)* The Survivor starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story)2020 updates.* Every 50 rooms, the Survivor will find a Trading Post, which is nothing more than an intersection with a fixed amount of shops and services (see below for details)* On the room following every second Trading Post (101, 201, 301...), the Survivor will find a Challenge. Completing the Challenge is necessary to progress forwards!* If playing on Tier X, X corresponds to the amount of Challenges the player must complete in order to reach the end.** There is no upper limit on the Tier number (and subsequent amount of Challenges), though in order to keep games from being unreasonably long, the author's recommendation is to keep it between 1 and 10, and any longer games should be Endless instead.** The author personally recommends first-time players and GMs to try Survival Tier 4, for a 401-room adventure.* Mercenaries function differently:** The time-based hiring rates do not apply, and are instead replaced by a 50-room hiring rate (corresponds to the distance between Trading Posts). That special rate is equivalent to 2x the 24-hour rate.** Upon being hired, a mercenary will immediately join the Contestant with no waiting time.** Merc deaths do not need to be reported.** All mercenaries show up with their gear. There are no gear costs - their equipment is essentially free.** All special parameters are ignored. The only objective in Survival is to survive. Each Survivor will be entered into a leaderboard for creatures killed and KV score obtained at the end of their run, as well as rooms visited in Survival Endless. == Freeform play ==This is essentially the normal game, but without main story quests or sidequests and with certain shops, services and other conveniences immediately available. This mode aims at a more relaxed experience, without the pressure of the pre-made main story, as well as offering an opportunity to design your own stories and plots. The main differences introduced by Freeform are as follows:* All skills are unlocked. Freeform characters start with Unskilled in all non-combat skills, as well as a MAIM account.* The Freeform character starts with a MAIM account, with all generic and regular named mercenaries available (Special mercs are not available as they're tied to the story).** Reputation and Renown requirements from certain mercenaries are disabled.* Roazon is collapsed, exactly as it would after the Contestant completes Sidequest S3-2.* All repeatable activities are available: Trading Missions, Mercenary Contracts, Mining, and Bounty Hunter* Several shops and services that are normally only obtained as sidequest rewards are available from the start:** The Power Armor Shop (Ferland Sector) is available and fully upgraded.** The Advanced Handloading Services are available at the Ellen Sector factory.** The Powder & Primer Shop is available at the Littleton factory.* Renown and Reputation are disabled, to allow GMs more flexibility.** It is recommended to replace any rewards in Renown[[Changelog/Rep with money, where applicable and where it would make sense. (e.g. Vigilante work) = January 17th 2019 ='''Version 5.1''' - KISS Update (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) This update aims at simplifying several game mechanics deemed too granular or generally not fun enough. == Simplified nutrition and hydration ==* Nutrition and hydration no longer decay at a rate of 1 per turn. Instead, these stats are slashed by a set amount at a fixed rate and frequency, to symbolize meeting daily recommended needs; these are called the '''Nutrition Reset''' and '''Hydration Reset''', respectively.** Nutrition is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Nutrition by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 30). For a human, that amount is 2100 ntri. ** Hydration is reset every day at midnight. The reset will reduce the current Hydration by an amount equivalent to (meat worth x 10). For a human, that amount is 700 wtr.* Nutrition and hydration each have new value ranges and corresponding effects; they are generally simpler and more clear-cut effects.** Nutrition going too high will increase minimum Fatigue, and eventually reduce Agility.** Nutrition going too low will decrease Strength, and eventually disable the ability to heal Pain, Blood or Limb Damage (due to the body not having the "fuel" to do so).** Hydration going too low will decrease Strength, then Accuracy, then cause Hallucinations, until eventually causing death. == Simplified fatigue ==* Fatigue no longer gradually increases every turn (what was called "natural fatigue"). Effects that can increase Fatigue bit by bit every turn still do exist.* The "Energized" tier is deleted.* Reaching an amount of Fatigue equal to 2x Endurance will result in death.* All effects of high fatigue now decrease Agility, and eventually decrease accuracy and cause Hallucinations. == Simplified clothing and armor ==* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are:** Trauma plates - which still continue to work as they normally do** Powered armor - which require a condition meter to determine protection level. When wearing power armor, damage calculation is greatly simplified - 1 limb damage sustained = 1 armor condition lost.* Cutting clothes into rags (as long as they have the RagOK tag) now always succeeds and results in obtaining 1d4 Rags (at least 1 is now guaranteed). Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded up. == Simplified weapon maintenance ==* The Reliability/Max Cleanliness stat is scrapped.* Durability is renamed Max Condition, and all firearms' Max Condition values have been rewritten.* Critical failures have been completely revamped and simplified. Condition is now meant to be lost on a critical failure, and for each 2 rolled, the new command '''@critfail''' must be used.** @critfail contains 80 possible effects, half of which are simple condition loss effects (ranging from 100 to 2000). The other half are condition loss effects (ranging from 50 to 1000) with a weapon failure (failure to fire, eject, etc.) effect on top. If the relevant weapon is a melee weapon or does not have a corresponding weapon failure type, the condition loss effect is doubled instead. Changes to handloading:* Load level (hotness) of ammunition affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. -P/Cold: Condition loss x0.5. +P/Hot: Condition loss x2. +P+/Super: Condition loss x4.* Powder quality of ammunition also affects the severity of the Condition loss on a critical failure. Surplus: Condition loss x3. Premium: Condition loss x0.5.* These effects may stack. Round up any results.* If shooting ammunition of mixed hotness or powder quality in the same turn (''not recommended!''), the hottest and dirtiest ammunition fired that turn is used as a reference for ''all'' rounds fired that turn. Changes to weapon accessories:* Since Cleanliness no longer exists, silencers no longer apply a malus on the equipped firearm. Changes to crafting:* Gun Cleaning Kits: They are now used to restore a firearm's Condition, as long as it's 60% or higher. Gun Repair Kits can still be used at any Condition percentage. Changes to Maze Customs:* Improved barrels now have different effects.** 4150CS barrel: Max Condition x1.25.** 4150CS + Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating: Max Condition x1.5** 4150CS + Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) coating: Max Condition x2** 4150CS + NP3 coating: Max Condition x1.25, Condition loss on critical failure x0.5** Rechambering a firearm with an improved barrel no longer causes the improved barrel to be replaced by a normal one (forcing the user to re-purchase the barrel improvements again). Making engineers slightly less evil!...** Maze Customs now also offers the possibility to return to a non-improved, stock barrel, for 100 P$. == Extras ==* New command: '''@asktsuchi'''. Ask a yes/no question and use that command. Results may vary. = November 27th 2018 ='''Version 5 update''' - The Finished State update == Quests ==* '''Story Arc #32019]]: The Human-Youkai War''' released! Features 33 quests, 1 sidequest, and 1 emergency quest.* '''Endgame content''' now available! The Contestant story may now come to an end as soon as all four Amulets are gathered == Content ==Abilities:* Several special abilities were renamed to '''techniques''', due to their similarity with martial arts techniques. Techniques are actions that can be performed instead of a regular combat action, and which, if the prerequisites are met, may allow their users to perform special moves that wouldn't otherwise be possible.* Introduction of several new combat techniques:** Techniques that are learned upon reaching '''Expert skill level''' with a corresponding combat skill:*** Firearm techniques: Failure Drill (DA revolver, Semi-auto pistol/rifle/shotgun), Fanning (SA revolver), Mad Minute (Bolt-action), Recoil Control Stance (Automatic pistol/rifle/shotgun), Rifleman Trick (Lever-action), Zero's Trick (Pump-action)*** Melee techniques: Any-Bash (One- and Two-handed clubs), Any-throw (Thrown weapons), Backlash (Whip/Lash weapons), Desperate Smash (Crude weapons), Double Cleave (Axes, One- and Two-handed swords), Stabbing Rush (Knives)** Techniques that can be '''purchased''': Lightning Reload (available for 3000 P$ at any shooting range) Maze Customs:* Customs:Minor - 1 new tactical conversion ('''Pecheneg Zenit'''), 4 new minor barrel configurations ('''SCAR-H STD, SCAR-L STD, SCAR-L LB, SG551-LB''') Startgame:* '''Tsuchinoko''' update: Rarity is finally weaved into the drop rates for the weapon commands (@wpn @wpnc1 @wpnc2 @wpnc3 @wpnc4 @wpnc5L @wpnc5S @wpncHG). The original commands (with equal chances for each weapon) have been given the '''-e''' suffix (@wpn-e, @wpnc1-e, etc...); '''e''' stands for "'''equivalent'''" (in the sense that each weapon has the same chance to be rolled as any other).** Four new '''Tsuchinoko''' commands, '''@wpn-firearm''', '''@wpn-melee''', '''@wpn-firearm-e''' and '''@wpn-melee-e'''. The first two respectively roll only firearms (Classes 1-4) and melee weapons (Classes 5L, 5S, HG), and the last two are the equivalent chances versions of the first two.* Kitsune and alligator halflings are now playable (discontinuation of the RePoints system)* Equipment points to allocate have been increased from 5 to 10.* Unspent equipment points are now worth 200 P$ each instead of 150 P$, and are now paid entirely in copper coins.* Starting weapons are no longer dependent on the combat skills selected at the start. All of the packages are now available, and extra packages now only cost 2 equipment points instead of 32019 updates.* Difficulty modes are no longer tied to RePoints. The starting amount of lives (HardOlder updates: 1, Easy: 3, Messiah: Infinite) is fixed. == Meta ==* GM side changes: Planned migration away from Excel and fully towards Google Docs - from now on GMs and players should be using the same files; any changes and updates should be done through direct edition of the player's GDocs sheet. Any information that is hidden from the player should be kept on a separate, GM-only file (preferably also on GDocs) which lists only the hidden information and nothing else.* Migration to the new wiki will begin shortly after the release of this update.* The RePoints system is discontinued (please check the corresponding Patreon post for more information). = Prior versions =You can find all of the previous updates up to version 5 on the [http://old.mazeworld.net/wiki/Guide:Changelog old wiki's changelog].
