'''Version 6.9.24''' - Unnamed update
In progress...
= April 10th 2024 =
'''Version 6.9.3.2''' - Helmet hotfix
* [[Effects]]: Removal of the Ballistic protective trait, now considered obsolete. Due to it being a carryover from eras of the game where headshot Pain multipliers used to be much higher than the current 1.5x (3x or higher), the effect remained unchanged and accidentally overbuffed the protective capabilities of helmets with the trait.
* [[Clothing and armor]]: All clothes that had the Ballistic protective trait lose it.
= March 24th 2024 =
'''Version 6.9.3.1''' - Say My Name update
* New Tsuchinoko command, '''&callsign'''. Generates one of about 200 different names (including variations).
* Callsigns are intended to give, well, callsigns, but also nicknames, war names, and other aliases. Primarily intended for [[mercenary|mercenaries]] but easily adaptable to anyone else; Maze Military personnel, raiders, adventurers, and so on.
* The command is designed to be expanded over time in even smaller, Tsuchi-only updates.
= March 18th 2024 =
'''Version 6.9.3''' - The MazeOS Update
* Added a fourth type of items requiring [[identification]]: '''Data storage devices.''' Includes floppy disks, zip disks, compact discs (CD), and hard drive disks (HDD). Camera memory cards also become a type of data storage device.
* When finding data storage devices in the UA, they may contain useful or valuable data.
* Bring data storage devices to a [[library]] computer to identify them, or use a [[Crafting items#Laptop|laptop]] to identify them on the field. Laptops are considered a new type of toolkit and are rechargeable with HITB batteries.
** Laptops can also double as higher-capacity (and rechargeable) hacking toolkits.
* Blank versions of data storage devices are available for sale in workshops (as [[crafting items]]). Blank devices currently have no specific purpose but GMs are encouraged in any story or quest where writing or saving data could be useful.
* New [[Tsuchinoko (bot)|Tsuchinoko]] commands added to support this update: '''&data &data-floppy &data-zip &data-memcard &data-cd &data-hdd'''
= February 9th 2024 =
'''Version 6.9.2''' - Mushroom update
The functionality of [[mushrooms]] has been expanded, and a new essential shop can now be found in all towns. Mushrooms now become valuable loot ; low value individually, but due to their extremely low weight, worth hanging onto. Mushrooms can be sold or traded up directly for more valuable mushrooms at dedicated, brand-new locations. The mushroom identification costs have also been lowered to match the cost of the lowest-value mushrooms.
* [[Identification]]: The cost of identifying mushrooms has been dropped to '''0.10 P$''' (previously 10 P$)
* [[Mushrooms]]: All mushrooms now have a monetary value (they previously did not) roughly consistent with their nutritional value and effects.
* All towns now have a new location, the '''[[street kitchen]]'''
** The street kitchen works as both a restaurant and a shop. The manager is a random [[citizen]] with the [[Character traits|Mycologist]] trait.
** The restaurant part of the street kitchen sells inexpensive, filling, mushroom-based dishes.
** The shop part trades mushrooms. It sells a small selection of savory and magic mushrooms, and it will buy back any mushroom '''at cost''', similarly to valuables.
* [[Tsuchinoko]]: Pull rates of mushroom types with the '''&marisa''' command have been adjusted to heavily favor normal mushrooms.
** Normal mushroom pull chance per command: 63.38% -> '''71.81%'''
** Magic mushroom chance per command: 32.39% -> '''12.23%'''
** Unique mushroom chance per command: 4.23% -> '''15.96%'''
