= January 28th 2021 =Changes to [[Mining]] have been introduced to simplify it and make it easier.'''MazeWorld version 6''' * Mining now works according to a hit point system instead of a chance- to-succeed system. The Big Oneobjective 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.

** Piercing-type damage now causes deep wounds
** Bullet-type damage now causes light wounds on inaccurate hits and deep wounds on solid hits and criticals (except as otherwise dictated by ammo type)
*** Rubber buckshot and rubber slugs continue causing fractures instead of LWs (no change to behavior)
*** Flechette can now only cause LWs
*** Sintered Frangible (SF) can only cause 2 wounds per successful hit, but the wound type is accuracy dependent; 2 LWs on an inaccurate hit, 2 DWs on a solid or critical hit.
*** Broadhead arrows (BRD) can now cause 2 wounds per successful hit instead of just 1

= April 10th 2020 October 3rd 2022 ='''Version 6.5.514.1''' - Changes to game mechanics, simplification of damage modelsArchery rule patch
Changes to core gameplay mechanics:==== [[Weapons]] and [[Ammunition]] ====* The '''C2''' rules now explicitly specify that [[Armor ClassArrow|Arrows]] is entirely scrapped from the game, as it is considered unnecessary[[Large bolt|Large bolts]] and [[Small bolt|Small bolts]] can be reused, according to specific conditions. The AC previously called C3 is now known as C2** Under normal conditions, all hits and misses produce arrows that can be retrieved. Only critical failures result in arrow or bolt breakage.** If the arrowhead is XPL (Explosive): All weapons hits and ammunition misses result in the game no longer have a damage value for the scrapped ACdetonation, making explosive arrows 100% non-reusable. Most clothing ** If the arrowhead is IMP (Improvised): Misses and armor that was classified as C2 will be reclassified as C1critical misses result in breakage. Only hits are reusable.
Changes to [[ammunition]]:
* [[.30-06 Springfield]]: Base damage buffed by 1% (166% -> 167%) so that the new C2 damage value (old C3) becomes 150% (previously 149%).
* [[9x25mm Dillon]]: Base damage buffed by 1% (54% -> 55%), so that the new C2 damage value (old C3) becomes 50% (previously 49%).
Notes:= September 18th 2022 =* Creatures have not been modified yet'''Version 6.5.4''' - Guns, as the bestiary Blood, and Drugs; A balancing update is still in progress.
==== [[Maze Customs]] ====
* The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] is added to the MP5 Customs family.
* Customs: New modifications for the MP5:
** Barrel length: Short MP5K barrel (4.5-inch barrel) - Muzzle: N/A, Underbarrel: Integrated foregrip - Cost: 150 P$
** The Short MP5K barrel is incompatible with the Surefire 628 and Quad rails
= March 17th 2020 === [[Limb health]] ====* [[Wounds]] now cause a bleeding rate of '''Version 5-0.3 Blood per wound per turn.5''' - Game mechanics changes, new ammo types
Changes to ==== [[RecoilMeds]]:====* 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 First aid kit (FAK): Weight reduced to be spent counting and checking shots.1 (previously 2)* The new Recoil system works as followsEpoetin-alfa: 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 Effect modified to the entirety of the shot string, and not just the shots that go over ADTBlood +0. 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 before2/turn, going over ADT will result in aim wandering (which sends shots to &bodyaim instead of the desired point of aim)-30 ntri/turn, 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 of going over ADT once and twice will also be updated+0.4% Fatigue/turn for 20 turns
Changes to ==== [[Combat modeAddictions]] ====* 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 [[Weapons]]; specificallymore 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.* [[Weapons#Firearm failure types|critical failureHospital]]''' effects: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.* Like with Recoil changes above, critical failure Addiction effects no longer rely on knowing exact shot order, but only : To account for the total shot count, possibility of med effects and in particular withdrawal effects being active simultaneously, the critical failure countfollowing withdrawal effects have been modified:** Nicotine withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%** '''Failures Alcohol withdrawal*** Level 1: Need a drink (level 1) applies to eject this character (stovepipessee below)''': For every stovepipe that occurs, the two highest scoring shots *** Level 2: Need a drink (excluding critical failureslevel 2) applies to this character (see below) are cancelled. If 3 stovepipes occur in a single string of fire, the 6 highest scoring shots are never fired. This has the potential of cancelling critical hits.Agility -1** '''Failures * Level 3: Need a drink (level 3) applies to fire this character (misfiressee below)''', Agility -2, IS tier +1, Hallucinations** Cannabis withdrawal*** Level 1: No changesMild munchies*** Level 2: Minimum Stress set to 15.0%, Mild munchies, Mild thirst** '''Failures * Level 3: Minimum Stress set to feed'''30.0%, Intense munchies, Mild thirst** Anabolic steroid withdrawal*** Level 1: Minimum Stress set to 30.0%*** If '''Level 2 or less''' occurred during the same string of fire: Same as stovepipesMinimum Stress set to 60.0%*** If '''Level 3 or more''' occurred during the same string of fire: All shots are cancelled and the weapon is considered Minimum Stress set to be '''jammed'''; this can be fixed by performing a reload action90.0%, Rage** '''Failures to burn'''Sick hakutaku syndrome*** Level 1: No changes.IR +1*** Level 2: FT +1, IR +1*** Level 3: FT +1, IR +1, Hallucinations
New ==== [[ammunition typesEffects]] for pistol and rifle calibers:====* '''Tracer Alcohol affinity (T[[Oni]] creature trait)''': FMJ bullets with an illuminating compound at the base Effect simplified. Instead of the bullet, which lights up both halving Inebriation received and displays bright, colored light when fired. Tracer ammunition is used to visibly see doubling the flight path Stress relief effect of [[Effects#Stress|Need a bulletdrink]] to compensate, and is useful for controlling long strings of fire, particularly full auto, as it allows a shooter to physically see where this trait now simply doubles the Stress relief effect but gives the bullets are going.** Effects: Increases ADT by a certain normal 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 positionInebriation.*** Recoil 1-2: ADT +The "Need a drink" effect has been delineated into 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: variants; Level 0.8x damage against unarmored ACs, Level 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 SAPLevel 2, Milsurp T** [[and Level 3.30-06 Springfield]]: Standard TIn essence, Milsurp T** [[the "Need a drink" effect progressively offers less and less Stress relief per Inebriation gained as your character's level of Alcohol addiction increases.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

Changes to ==== [[AddictionsBasic mechanics]]:====* Advancement Created and defined the concept of withdrawal levels is now tied to [[Daily ResetDowntime]].
Changes to [[Inebriation]]:
* Inebriation no longer naturally decays at a rate of 0.1 per turn.
* New [[Effect]]: '''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.
Changes to [[Venom]]:= July 20th 2022 =* Rebuilt the effects of Venom poisoning (modified the thresholds and simplified the effects)'''Version 6.5.2''' - Lockpicking minigame update
= January 6th 2020 === [[Skills]] ===='''Version 5.48''' - Simplification update * The [[Lockpicking#7Picking electronic locks|electronic lockpicking]] minigame has been updated with an easier and more balanced variant.
Changes to [[Stress]]:
* 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)x0.1xE''', 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.
Related changes:= April 20th 2022 =* '''BooksVersion 6.5.1''' now heal a flat amount of Stress, -2.0% per reading.

(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 gives '''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]]** 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.

= February 20th 2019 9th 2022 ='''Version 56.23.12''' - Extra game modes updateThe 1000-Weapon Update, Part 12: Conventional rifles and Handgear
This update introduces two 37 new methods of playing MazeWorld: '''Survival''' weapons and '''Freeform''', and retroactively renames 1 new caliber added to the 'main' mode into '''Contestant Story''' or just '''Story'''. These new game modes(30 firearms, so to speak7 melee weapons, aim at providing more flavors for players and future GMs including 1 integrated bayonet), bringing the total to enjoy985.
== General changes == New caliber ====* The [https://docs[7.google.com/forms/d/1fLN_YUoVStGt0ElBtVpyMg1bIvn1Eqxc3BuDJrdIkBk/ character sign-up form92x107mm]] 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.New weapons ====
When playing Survival, players have the option to choose between two modes* Firearms: '''Tier X''' ** [[Class 1 weapons]]:*** [[Alexander Arms AWS]]*** [[FK Maroszek Kb Ur wz. 35]]*** [[General Motors M1A1 Carbine]]*** [[Henry Brass Lever Action 30-30]]*** [[Henry Brass Lever Action 45-70]]*** [[Henry Big Boy Carbine]]*** [[Henry Big Boy Classic]]*** [[Henry Big Boy Silver]]*** [[Henry Big Boy Steel]]*** [[Henry New Original]]*** [[Johnson Automatics M1941]]*** [[Koishikawa Arsenal Type 44 Arisaka]]*** [[Kokura Arsenal Type Kou]]*** [[Maadi Hakim]]*** [[Marlin Model 1894CL]]*** [[Marlin Model 1894S]]*** [[Mauser Gewehr 1898]]*** [[Mauser Model 1893]]*** [[Mauser Model 1895 Carbine]]*** [[Mauser Model 1895 Short Rifle]]*** [[Nittetsu Type Hei]]*** [[Ruger 77/44]]*** [[Ruger 77/357]]*** [[SIG Arms SG751 SAPR]]*** [[SIG Arms Mondragon M1908]]*** [[Zbrojovka Brno ZH-29]]** [[Class 2 weapons]]:*** [[Armalite AR-7 Explorer]]*** [[Mauser M1917 Trench Carbine]]*** [[Taurus CT-30]]*** [[TNW Firearms ASR 9]]* Melee weapons:** [[Class Handgear weapons]]:*** [[Brass knuckles]]*** [[Chainmail gauntlets]]*** [[Push knives]]*** [[Spiked knuckles]]*** [[Tekko-kagi]]*** [[Tenderizer knuckles]]** [[List of bayonets|Bayonets]]:*** [[Type 44 bayonet]] (The game ends after completing X Challenges) or '''Endless''' (The game only ends with integrated to the Survivor's death, or at player request[[Type 44 Arisaka]]).
The main differences introduced by Survival are as follows:==== Other changes ====* 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 unlockedNew ability: 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.[[Steady aiming]]
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.

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 13 new weapons added to the storygame (7 firearms, 6 melee weapons).** Reputation and Renown requirements from certain mercenaries are disabled.* Roazon is collapsed, exactly as it would after bringing 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, total to allow GMs more flexibility948.** It is recommended to replace any rewards in Renown/Rep with money, where applicable and where it would make sense.

'''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= January 23rd 2022 ='''Version 6.3.10''' - The 1000-Weapon Update, Part 10: Pistols and One-handed clubs
== 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, 47 new weapons added 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 game (meat worth x 30). For a human32 firearms, 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 1015 melee weapons). 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 bringing the ability total 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 death935.
== 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.New weapons ====
== Simplified clothing and armor ==* Firearms:* Clothing and armor can no longer sustain damage, period. The only exceptions are* [[Class 3 weapons]]:** Trauma plates * [[Beretta APX]]*** [[Beretta M9- which still continue to work as they normally do22LR]]** Powered armor * [[BSA Welrod Mk I]]*** [[Colt Model 1903]]*** [[DW Ortgies 7.65]]*** [[FB Radom P- which require a condition meter to determine protection level64]]*** [[FB Radom wz.

Multipliers (0.5x or 2x) affect the result of that 1d4, and it is always rounded up.*** [[Trench mace]]*** [[Wrench]]
== 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.
