Changes to [[Explosives]]:
* Pressure mine disposal:
** You can now shoot a mine to detonate it, but you must deliberately aim at one mine and score at least one inaccurate hit.
** You no longer need to roll for accuracy when using an explosive; the explosive blast will set primed pressure mines off automatically.
* Directional mine disposal:
** You can now shoot a directional mine to destroy it (will not detonate on a hit), but you must deliberately aim at one mine and score at least one inaccurate hit.
** If you use a weapon that causes a Standard explosion, it will destroy all mines on the same Side, not just the one you targeted.
** You can now deliberately approach a primed directional mine from a Targeted Side, but you must pass two successive Agility checks (8+ to pass) to avoid setting it off. If you pass both, you enter the Side without setting the mine off. If you fail one check, you still enter the Protected Side, but it sets the mine off at 0.5x damage. Failing both sets it off at full damage. Regardless of the result, carefully approaching a mine breaks Stealth. However, it can also be done outside of combat.

Latest changes:= August 19th 2023 =* [[Food#Unsparable food items|Restaurant menus]] have been revamped, now offering many more choices.* '''Official reopening of the communityVersion 6.81'''- Mining hotfix
Changes to [[Mining]] have been introduced to simplify it and make it easier.
* Mining now works according to a hit point system instead of a chance-to-succeed system. The objective is to make mining more of a straight trade of resources and favor strength-based builds (which would already benefit from using tools like pick-axes and mattocks as weapons).
* Each mining target (ore bundle, obstructions) now has a set number of hit points.
* A pick or drill strike reduces the target's hit points; the check is based on the skill level (1d20 to 1d60, in increments of 10), multiplied by Strength.
* Explosives damage equal to their limb damage multiplied by a number that depends on skill level (x1 to x3, in 0.5 increments).
* The length of a Mining Level has been shortened from 15 + Mine level to 8 + Mine level
* It is now possible to save your progress exploring a mine and leave without having to start over from Level -1.
* New items at the mining supplies store now allow you to reset your progress in a mine and start over.

Changes to shops and services:
* 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 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 Sensitivity]], 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 modified:
** 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 to the maximum size of 400 units; upgrading costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''(size x 15)'''
** Withdrawing items from a vault now costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''500 + (weight of items withdrawn x 10)''', and it is not possible to withdraw more than 150 units of items at once.
** 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 anymore.

Changes to core gameplay mechanics:
* The '''C2''' [[Armor Class]] is entirely scrapped from the game, as it is considered unnecessary. The AC previously called C3 is now known as C2. All weapons and ammunition in the game no longer have a damage value for the scrapped AC. Most clothing and armor that was classified as C2 will be reclassified as C1.
Changes to [[ammunition]]:= October 3rd 2022 =* [['''Version 6.30-06 Springfield]]: Base damage buffed by 1% (166% -> 167%) so that the new C2 damage value (old C3) becomes 150% (previously 149%)5.4.* [[9x25mm Dillon]]: Base damage buffed by 1% (54% ''' -> 55%), so that the new C2 damage value (old C3) becomes 50% (previously 49%).Archery rule patch
Notes:==== [[Weapons]] and [[Ammunition]] ====* Creatures have not been modified yetThe rules now explicitly specify that [[Arrow|Arrows]], as [[Large bolt|Large bolts]] and [[Small bolt|Small bolts]] can be reused, according to specific conditions.** Under normal conditions, all hits and misses produce arrows that can be retrieved. Only critical failures result in arrow or bolt breakage.** If the bestiary update arrowhead is still 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 progressbreakage. Only hits are reusable.

Changes to ==== [[RecoilMaze Customs]]:====* Recoil calculation and effects no longer rely on exact shot order, but now instead only needs total shots fired, significantly cutting down on The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] is added to the amount of time that needs to be spent counting and checking shotsMP5 Customs family.* The new Recoil system works as followsCustoms: Every Recoil level has a limit of shots (New modifications for 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.MP5:** As before, going over ADT will result in aim wandering Barrel length: Short MP5K barrel (which sends shots to &bodyaim instead of the desired point of aim4.5-inch barrel)- Muzzle: N/A, 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.Underbarrel: Integrated foregrip - Cost: 150 P$** Accuracy windows The Short MP5K barrel is incompatible with the Surefire 628 and effects of going over ADT once and twice will also be updated.Quad rails
Changes to ==== [[Combat modeLimb health]] and ====* [[WeaponsWounds]]; specifically, '''[[Weapons#Firearm failure types|critical failure]]''' effects:* Like with Recoil changes above, critical failure effects no longer rely on knowing exact shot order, but only the total shot count, and in particular the critical failure count.** '''Failures to eject (stovepipes)''': For every stovepipe that occurs, the two highest scoring shots (excluding critical failures) are cancelled. If 3 stovepipes occur in now cause a single string bleeding rate of fire, the 6 highest scoring shots are never fired. This has the potential of cancelling critical hits.** '''Failures to fire (misfires)''': No changes-0.** '''Failures to feed''': *** If '''2 or less''' occurred during the same string of fire: Same as stovepipes.*** If '''3 or more''' occurred during the same string of fire: All shots are cancelled and the weapon is considered to be '''jammed'''; this can be fixed by performing a reload actionBlood per wound per turn.** '''Failures to burn''': No changes.
New ==== [[ammunition typesMeds]] for pistol and rifle calibers:====* '''Tracer First aid kit (TFAK)''': 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 Weight reduced 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-(previously 2: ADT +4 shots)*** Recoil 3Epoetin-4alfa: ADT Effect modified to Blood +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 ACs2/turn, 1.3x damage against armored ACs.* Retail ammunition using these new projectiles is now also available:** [[.22 Long Rifle]]: Standard T** [[.-30 Carbine]]: Standard Tntri/turn, Standard SAP, Milsurp T** [[+0.30-06 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% Fatigue/turn for 20 turns
==== [[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
= January 12th 2020 === [[Effects]] ===='''Version 5* Alcohol affinity ([[Oni]] creature trait): Effect simplified.49''' - Simplification update Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of [[Effects#8Stress|Need a drink]] to compensate, this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the normal amount of Inebriation.* 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's level of Alcohol addiction increases.
Changes to [[Addictions]]:
* Advancement of withdrawal levels is now tied to [[Daily Reset]].
Changes to [[Inebriation]]:= August 24th 2022 =* Inebriation no longer naturally decays at a rate of 0'''Version 6.1 per turn5.* New [[Effect]]: 3'''For every +0.1 Inebriation gained, [[Stress]] is decreased by -0.4%; effectively turning alcohol into a reliable Stress relief method.* Inebriation decay now depends on the passage of time (and not specifically Daily Reset either), based on the amount of day periods that have passed since the last drink.* Effects of [[Inebriation]] have been modified and simplified.The R&R Update
Changes to ==== [[VenomBasic mechanics]]:====* Rebuilt the effects of Venom poisoning (modified the thresholds Created and simplified defined the effects)concept of [[Downtime]].

'''Version 5.48''' - Simplification update #7
Changes to [[Stress]]:= July 20th 2022 =* Stress thresholds for Low and Moderate have been adjusted (respectively 0.0% : 19.9% and 20.0% : 49.9%)* Stress is no longer gained from taking damage ([[Pain]], [[Limb Damage]]...) or from sustained injuries.* [[Effect#Stress|Stress gained from combat (now clarified as an effect called Combat Stress)]] is now calculated differently; the total amount is now equal to '''(Td4)x0Version 6.1xE5.2''', where T is the total amount of turns spent in combat, and E is the amount of enemies at the start of a fight.** Effectively, this means gaining between 0.1% and 0.4% Stress per turn spent, multiplied by the amount of starting enemies.* Stress gained from combat is now given at the end of combat, instead of gradually turn by turn.* The Stress Tolerance [[effect]] is scrapped.- Lockpicking minigame update
Related changes:==== [[Skills]] ====* '''Books''' now heal a flat amount of Stress, -2.0% per reading. Books provide their Stress reducing effect only once per ingame day; The [[Lockpicking#Picking electronic locks|electronic lockpicking]] minigame has been updated with an already read book must be marked with a tag.** Suggested tag: ''"Read recently - provides no effects until next Daily Reset"''* Showers no longer provide negative effects, easier and the command is now always rolled when using a shower, regardless of the location. Each use will now spend 30 ingame minutes and has a chance to provide a positive effect (reduces Stress, Fatigue, or Pain) each time.* Computers now decrease Stress by (4d10)x0.1 at the cost of spending 2 ingame hours.* Radios now decrease Stress by (2d10)x0.1 at the cost of spending 1 ingame hourmore balanced variant.
= December 8th 2019 =
'''Version 5.47''' - Simplification update #6
* The [[Cover]] system has received multiple modifications aimed at simplifying their purpose and function:= April 20th 2022 =** 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)Version 6.* [[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]]** Gun Repair Kits can no longer be used to repair dud explosives; this ability was moved to the...** 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.Simplification Update #10: Completely Baked Edition
==== Basic game mechanics ====
* [[Recoil]] has been simplified; there is no point of aim shift after crossing ADT anymore (due to it being a remnant of when Recoil required checking for shot order).
= November 14th 2019 === [[Weapon accessories]] ====Effect changes to the following accessories:* Laser sights: No longer cancel the point of aim shift (as that mechanic has been deleted), now gives '''Version 5.46IR -1''' - Simplification update #5.
* [[Weapons]]:
** In a manner similar to the [[MAC-10]] and [[MAC-11]], these weapons are now considered to be '''auto pistols''' if their stock is folded: [[B+T MP9-N]], [[CZ Sa vz. 26]], [[CZ Skorpion vz. 61]], [[CZ Skorpion vz. 83]], [[IMI UZI]], [[KBP PP-2000]], [[Ruger MP9]], [[Steyr MPi 81]]
** These weapons have changed categories entirely: [[Danuvia VD-01]] (Submachine gun -> Auto pistol), [[H&K MP5K]] (Submachine gun -> Auto pistol)
** Artifact weapons; [[Bat out of Hell]], [[Doomslayer]]: No longer dependent on the Contestant story for acquisition. Their effects and special abilities have also been modified - see each page for further details.
* [[Statistics]]:
** [[Pain]]: No longer naturally regenerates at a rate of -2% per turn; in fact, the entire concept of "Pain regeneration per turn" is removed. Instead, 40% Pain is healed every day during the Daily Reset (10% in Survival Mode at every Trading Post instead)
* [[Meds]]:
** Cannabis no longer increases pain regeneration per turn, but instead decreases Pain by a flat amount; -25%.
* Other changes:
** '''Augmentations''': Guardian LSS modified so it doesn't improve pain regeneration per turn anymore, but instead reduces Pain Sensitivity and improves the effectiveness of Pain healing at the Daily Reset (Level 2: Pain Sensitivity -10%, Daily Reset Pain healed by 70%. Level 3: Pain Sensitivity -20%, Daily Reset Pain healed by 100%.)
** '''Tanuki special abilities''': A new 9 TB ability called '''Still Hard''' is added. Applies Strong limb healing to any of the tanuki's limbs. Regeneration is now more expensive, bumped up to 5 TB. Many abilities have had their effects simplified as well.

'''Version 6.5''' - Further Balance Updates
= November 10th 2019 === Basic game mechanics ====Changes to the following core game mechanics:* Major change to the [[limb groups]] system: hits to the LIMB group now cause '''Version 50.455x''' - Simplification update #4: Ores, metals and miningdamage (same as hits to the EXTREMITIES) instead of the previous 0.4x.
* ==== [[ValuablesAmmunition]]: ====** Scandium and palladium ingots have been scrapped ** Introduction of new types of ingots: Zinc, Iron, and Tungsten** All ingots are now available in four sizes: 100g (0.2 Weight units), 250g (0.5 units), 500g (1 unit) and 1000g (2 units)** "Hardened steel" was renamed Major rebalancing to just "Steel"** Value per kilogram of brass is now 240 P$ (previously 224 P$)** Value per kilogram of electrum is now 1400 P$ (previously 1340 P$)* [[Ores]] and [[mining]]:** All metal ores have been completely scrapped and rebuilt from the ground up. All types of metal ores now contain a percentage of ONE useful metal or "quick cash" element, and are now based on more realistic types of minerals. ** The list of "Primary" mining elements (which can be exchanged for ingots) has been rewritten, and now includes (from least to most valuable)ammunition type cost multipliers: Zinc, Lead, Iron, Copper, Tungsten, Silver, Gold, Platinum.** The list of "Secondary" mining elements (which can be exchanged for cash) has been rewritten, and now includes (from least to most valuable): Coal, Sulfur, Nickel, Mercury, Magnesium, Tin, Cobalt, Aluminium, Molybdenum, Titanium, and Chromium.** There isn't a tertiary "garbage" category of ore materials anymore.** Object line nomenclature for all metal and gemstone ores has been redone for clarity.* Other changes:** Dimensions of [[Parallar|brass and electrum]] coins were modified slightly to account for the changes.
= September 24th 2019 =* Tracer: '''1.1x''' (previously 1.5x)* Match: '''Version 3.0x''' (previously 4.0x)* LSWC: '''0.8x''' (previously 0.85x)* JHP: '''1.5x''' (previously 3.0x)* JSP: '''1.2x''' (previously 2.0x)* LSWCHP: '''2.0x''' (previously 2.5x)* HPX: '''2.5x''' (previously 4.0x)* AP: '''1.5x''' (previously 3.0x)* SAP: '''1.2x''' (previously 2.0x)* APX: '''2.5x''' (previously 5.440x)* API: ''' - Various changes in various domains2.5x''' (previously 4.0x)* SF: '''1.2x''' (previously 1.5x)* UHS: '''1.2x''' (previously 2.5x)
* '''Buff to the ==== [[goheiCharacter creation]] and [[shakuCharacter customization]]''': 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 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 (respectively, Lv2 - Basic, 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 ammunitionHuman]]''': It characters now deals 1.3x damage (Pain and LD) instead of 1.4x.* receive '''Changes to MAIM4 starting trait points''': Rie "Fireball" Kirari, being a kasha, now benefits from the new abilities introduced above. Her natural Pain Sensitivity was also lowered 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 normal 3, to all compensate for the lack 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. The bonus HP is free and costs no Nutrition or Fatigueracial benefits.

= April 23rd 2019 February 10th 2022 ='''Version 56.3.13''' - Simplification update #2 The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 13: BloodSubmachine guns and Two-handed swords
This update aims at simplifying some of 15 new weapons added to the game (14 firearms, 1 melee weapon), bringing the mechanics related total to the Blood statistic.covered '''1,000'''!
== 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).New weapons ====

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 =February 9th 2022 =* The [https://docs'''Version 6.google3.com/forms/d/1fLN_YUoVStGt0ElBtVpyMg1bIvn1Eqxc3BuDJrdIkBk/ character sign12''' -up form] has been updated to account for the changes below.The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 12: Conventional rifles and Handgear
== Survival ==In this 37 new mode, players adopt weapons and 1 new caliber added to the role of a Survivorgame (30 firearms, whose only objective is to kill anyone that looks at them wrong7 melee weapons, and survive as long as possible. Survival is mainly inspired from old-school MazeWorldincluding 1 integrated bayonet), it is essentially an endless Uncivilized Area run, just as it once wasbringing the total to 985.
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)==== New caliber ====* [[7.92x107mm]]
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).* 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.==== New weapons ====

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.[[Type 44 Arisaka]])
== Freeform play == Other changes ====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. * New ability: [[Steady aiming]]
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/Rep with money, where applicable and where it would make sense. (e.g. Vigilante work)

'''Version 6.3.11''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 11: Precision rifles and Two-handed clubs
= January 17th 2019 ='''Version 5.1''' - KISS Update 13 new weapons added to the game (Keep It Simple7 firearms, Stupid!6 melee weapons), bringing the total to 948.
This update aims at simplifying several game mechanics deemed too granular or generally not fun enough* Firearms:** [[Class 1 weapons]]:*** [[Accuracy International AW]]*** [[CZ TSR]]*** [[KBP VSK-94]]*** [[Norinco JS]]*** [[St.George Arms Leader 50 A1]]*** [[Winchester Model 70]]*** [[ZVI Falcon OP96]]** [[Class 5 Long weapons]]:*** [[Eku]]*** [[Flat bat]]*** [[Forging sledgehammer]]*** [[Spade]]*** [[Tamping bar]]*** [[Toothbat]]
== 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 =January 23rd 2022 =* Fatigue no longer gradually increases every turn (what was called "natural fatigue")'''Version 6. Effects that can increase Fatigue bit by bit every turn still do exist3.* 10''' - 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 Agility1000-Weapon Update, Part 10: Pistols and eventually decrease accuracy and cause Hallucinations.One-handed clubs
== Simplified clothing and armor ==* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are:** Trauma plates - which still continue 47 new weapons added 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 game (at least 1 is now guaranteed32 firearms, 15 melee weapons). Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect , bringing the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded uptotal to 935.
== 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.New weapons ====

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)

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 ==== New 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 3.* Difficulty modes are no longer tied to RePoints. The starting amount of lives (Hard: 1, Easy: 3, Messiah: Infinite) is fixed.====
