− | '''Version | + | '''Version 6.9.4''' - 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. | ||
− | = | + | |
− | '''Version | + | = 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%''' | ||
+ | |||

+ | = December 27th 2023 = | ||
+ | '''Version 6.9.1.1''' - Melee Repair Kit hotfix | ||
+ | |||
+ | Changes to [[toolkits]]: | ||
+ | * Melee repair kits can now repair shields. The formula to calculate shield HP repaired is equal to the Condition (with Repair skill bonus) divided by 80 and rounded up. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||

+ | '''Version 6.9.1''' - The Soldier of Fortune Update<br/> | ||
+ | ''This update was conceptualized and developed almost entirely by [[User:GenericArchangel|GenericArchangel]]; the author mostly took care of minor fixes and additions and the final implementation.'' | ||
+ | |||
+ | A minor update focused on fleshing out [[MAIM]] and giving players the option to hire mercenaries. | ||
+ | |||
+ | New [[Occupations|occupation]]: [[Mercenary]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | New [[List of named MAIM personnel|named characters]] (14 mercenaries, with different skillsets and loadouts) | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | = October 4th 2023 = | ||
+ | '''Version 6.9''' - The Nice, Big Re-Balance Update | ||
+ | |||
+ | New gameplay concept and ability: [[Hebizuka's Favors]]. | ||
+ | * They are MazeWorld's version of Edge points. Burn to re-roll a variety of unfavorable rolls. | ||

− | Changes to [[ | + | Changes to [[Clothing and armor]], [[youkai outfits]], and [[trauma plates]]: |
− | * [[ | + | * Many pieces of armor have received new effects (or had existing effects modified or deleted), mainly to hamper [[Agility]]. The general idea is that the heavier the armor, the bulkier and harder it is to move in. |

+ | * [[Style shop]]: New rules now heavily discourage creating armor with an AC of A4/A5, a youkai outfit with AC tier +4 or higher, or anything granting Agility +2 or higher. Anything combining Agility +0, +1, or +2 with high AC or outfit AC tier boost must be justified or have other maluses. | ||

− | + | Changes to [[Skills]]: | |
− | ''' | + | * [[Evasion]]: |
+ | ** Successfully Dodging a critical hit now downgrades it to an inaccurate hit instead of turning it into a miss, meaning crits remain dangerous in both directions. | ||
+ | * [[Handloading]]: | ||
+ | ** Picking up spent casings now grants Skill Points, at a rate of '''1 SP per 20 cases/hulls salvaged''' (or '''0.05 SP per case/hull''') | ||

− | '''Version | + | '''Version 6.82''' - Explosives hotfix |
− | + | 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. | ||

− | + | '''Version 6.81''' - Mining hotfix | |
− | Changes to | + | 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. | |
− | * The | + | * New items at the mining supplies store now allow you to reset your progress in a mine and start over. |

+ | '''Version 6.8''' - Deep Wound update | ||
− | + | * '''Introduction of a new [[injury]] type called deep wound (DWs)''' | |
− | ''' | + | ** A deep wound is similar to a normal wound (to be renamed '''light wound (LWs)'''), but causes four times the amount of bleeding per turn: -1.2 Blood per turn instead of -0.3. |
+ | ** 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 | ||
− | + | * New items: | |
− | * [[ | + | ** '''[[Meds]]''' |
− | * | + | *** Tranexamic acid (TXA): Syringe, 400 P$, not addictive. Reduces bleed rate to 0.0/turn (effectively stops bleeding) for 10 turns |
− | + | ** '''[[Mushrooms]]''' | |
− | ** | + | *** Extra wound healing (Extra vulnus medicae): Heals 3 wounds, prioritizing Deep Wounds first, then Light Wounds. |
− | * | + | *** Stop the bleed (Cessant sanguinem): Reduces bleed rate to 0.0/turn (effectively stops bleeding) for 10 turns |
− | ** | + | |
− | * | + | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
+ | * Changes to [[ammunition]] | ||
+ | ** Flechette damage tables balanced on all calibers to behave more like armor-piercing ammunition. All flechette damage on Ax armor classes has been buffed, damage on Cx is unchanged. New tables are as follows: | ||
+ | *** [[12 gauge]] flechette: 12/11 '''15/12/9/5/2''' | ||
+ | *** [[12 gauge CAWS]] flechette: 14/12 '''17/14/11/5/2''' | ||
+ | *** [[20 gauge]] flechette: 12/11 '''15/12/9/5/2''' | ||
+ | *** [[.410 bore]] flechette: 12/11 '''14/12/9/5/2''' | ||
− | + | * Changes to [[crafting]] | |
− | + | ** [[Crafting items]]: Rags have a chance to fix 1 LW. | |
− | Changes to [[ | + | * Changes to [[creatures]] |
− | * | + | ** Numerous creatures have attacks that variously cause extra wounds (1d2, 1d3, 2d2, etc.) on a hit. Most of these now cause either LWs or DWs depending on damage type. |
− | * | + | ** Many creatures with healing spells will have their effects updated. They can now close both wound types, but will prioritize DWs first, LWs second, just like the Stop the bleed mushroom. |
− | Changes to [[ | + | * Changes to [[hospital|hospitals]] |
− | * | + | ** Light Wounds cost 10 P$ apiece to heal. |

+ | * [[Mining]] received a major overhaul | ||
+ | ** The exploration process was completely overhauled to reward progressing as deeply as possible. | ||
+ | ** Introduction of a minecart feature to transport ores in and out of the mining facility | ||
+ | ** Introduction of mine bosses, acting as guardians of specific depth levels | ||
+ | ** The end of a mining facility should contain a GM-defined treasure (our recommendation is to make it an artifact weapon) | ||
+ | ** Metal ore bundle generation is reduced from 1d800*5 to '''1d200*5''', reducing the maximum size of a single bundle from 4 kg to 1 kg. | ||
+ | ** Gemstone ore bundle generation is reduced from 1d800*5 to '''1d10*50''', reducing the maximum size of a single bundle from 2 kg to 500 grams. | ||

Crafting a doorset is treated as a Level 2 blueprint with no particular ingredients (50% base chance of success per kit use). | ||
+ | ** '''Caved-in causeway''': The front door leads to a Shortcut -3 but is caved-in by dirt, sand, or gravel. You must [[Mining|mine your way through it]] by successfully striking the obstruction 3 times. If you clear it, roll 1d20. On a 11-18, you receive one bundle of common ore. On a 19-20, you receive one bundle of rare ore. | ||

As long as the effect is active, it overrides '''On Fire''' (disables any fires on the creature's body and prevents new fires from starting), but makes '''Spec-Elec''' cause double damage. Additionally, while the effect is active, the creature '''+0.2% Fatigue per turn''' at the end of combat, and '''+0.1% Fatigue per room traveled''' at the end of a UA trip. This effect is separate from actual Travel Fatigue, meaning it is unaffected by the [[Traits|Wherever I May Roam trait]]. |
− | * | + | ** New item introduced: '''Dispoable bath towel,''' Weight 0.5. This [[crafting items|item]] is a consumable with the sole purpose of removing an active Water-soaked effect. Once used, it is discarded. Available in [[Workshop|workshops]] for [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''7'''. |

− | * | + | |

+ | * Epoetin-alfa: Effect modified to Blood +0.2/turn, -30 ntri/turn, +0.4% 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 | ||
− | + | ==== [[Effects]] ==== | |
+ | * 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. | ||
+ | * 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. | ||

Version 6.9.4 - 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 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 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 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 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%
December 27th 2023
Version 6.9.1.1 - Melee Repair Kit hotfix
Changes to toolkits:
- Melee repair kits can now repair shields. The formula to calculate shield HP repaired is equal to the Condition (with Repair skill bonus) divided by 80 and rounded up.
December 25th 2023
Version 6.9.1 - The Soldier of Fortune Update
This update was conceptualized and developed almost entirely by GenericArchangel; the author mostly took care of minor fixes and additions and the final implementation.
A minor update focused on fleshing out MAIM and giving players the option to hire mercenaries.
New occupation: Mercenary
New named characters (14 mercenaries, with different skillsets and loadouts)
Minor lore tweaks to MAIM itself to make it a legitimate organization, now headquartered in Ferron City.
October 4th 2023
Version 6.9 - The Nice, Big Re-Balance Update
New gameplay concept and ability: Hebizuka's Favors.
- They are MazeWorld's version of Edge points. Burn to re-roll a variety of unfavorable rolls.
- A trait, Hebizuka's Favorite, allows you to have a maximum of 4 Favors instead of 3.
Changes to Abilities:
- New technique, Shaft Splitter. Lessons to learn this technique can be purchased at a dojo for 2000 P$.
- New technique, Two Become One. Lessons to learn this technique can be purchased at a dojo for 3000 P$.

Changes to Combat mode:
- Escaping now causes UA trip length to increase automatically by 1, as if it was a Detour +1.
Changes to Clothing and armor, youkai outfits, and trauma plates:
- Many pieces of armor have received new effects (or had existing effects modified or deleted), mainly to hamper Agility. The general idea is that the heavier the armor, the bulkier and harder it is to move in.
- Activist Recon Outfit (ARO), all five types: Agi+1 effect deleted
- EOD Suit: Plate carrier effect added
- Kawashiro Shinobi Outfit: Effect nerfed to Agi +1

- Flak jacket: Decrease to 250
- Kabuto-menpo: Decrease to 450
- A new youkai outfit has been added, the Combat Outfit. It is a generic, non-faction combat outfit with similar looks and functionality as the Activist Combat Outfit. Available for all five body types for the same price as the ACO.
- Style shop: New rules now heavily discourage creating armor with an AC of A4/A5, a youkai outfit with AC tier +4 or higher, or anything granting Agility +2 or higher. Anything combining Agility +0, +1, or +2 with high AC or outfit AC tier boost must be justified or have other maluses.
Changes to Creatures:
Changes to Effects:
- Travel Fatigue: Now burns 20 nutrition and 10 hydration per room traveled, on top of the Fatigue effects.
Changes to Skills:
- Evasion:
- Successfully Dodging a critical hit now downgrades it to an inaccurate hit instead of turning it into a miss, meaning crits remain dangerous in both directions.
- Handloading:
- Picking up spent casings now grants Skill Points, at a rate of 1 SP per 20 cases/hulls salvaged (or 0.05 SP per case/hull)
- Disassembling ammunition into components now grants Skill Points, at a rate of 1 SP per 20 rounds disassembled (or 0.05 SP per round)
- The Skill Point bonus for handloading ammunition is doubled, the rate is now 1 SP per 10 rounds loaded (or 0.10 SP per round)
- Repair:
- All skill thresholds have been halved. It now requires 25 SP for Basic, 100 SP for Skilled, 250 SP for Expert, and 500 SP for Master.
Changes to Weapons:
- Brick, Broken bottle, Iron ball, Stone: New throw mode.
- Throwing the broken bottle will always destroy it, whether you hit or not. If you do hit, target receives 3 light wounds.
- Mini C4 charge: Price reduced to 100 P$, from 750. Rarity adjusted to 1, from 2.
- Small C4 charge: Price reduced to 300 P$, from 1500. Rarity adjusted to 1, from 4.

- Stun baton: Stun effect buffed to 3 turns instead of 1d2
- Stun knife: Stun effect buffed to 2 turns instead of 1d2

September 26th 2023
Version 6.82 - Explosives hotfix
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.
August 19th 2023
Version 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.
June 19th 2023
Version 6.8 - Deep Wound update
- Introduction of a new injury type called deep wound (DWs)
- A deep wound is similar to a normal wound (to be renamed light wound (LWs)), but causes four times the amount of bleeding per turn: -1.2 Blood per turn instead of -0.3.
- 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
- New items:
- Meds
- Tranexamic acid (TXA): Syringe, 400 P$, not addictive. Reduces bleed rate to 0.0/turn (effectively stops bleeding) for 10 turns
- Mushrooms
- Extra wound healing (Extra vulnus medicae): Heals 3 wounds, prioritizing Deep Wounds first, then Light Wounds.
- Stop the bleed (Cessant sanguinem): Reduces bleed rate to 0.0/turn (effectively stops bleeding) for 10 turns
- Meds
- Changes to ammunition
- Flechette damage tables balanced on all calibers to behave more like armor-piercing ammunition. All flechette damage on Ax armor classes has been buffed, damage on Cx is unchanged. New tables are as follows:
- 12 gauge flechette: 12/11 15/12/9/5/2
- 12 gauge CAWS flechette: 14/12 17/14/11/5/2
- 20 gauge flechette: 12/11 15/12/9/5/2
- .410 bore flechette: 12/11 14/12/9/5/2
- Flechette damage tables balanced on all calibers to behave more like armor-piercing ammunition. All flechette damage on Ax armor classes has been buffed, damage on Cx is unchanged. New tables are as follows:
- Changes to crafting
- Crafting items: Rags have a chance to fix 1 LW.
- Changes to creatures
- Numerous creatures have attacks that variously cause extra wounds (1d2, 1d3, 2d2, etc.) on a hit. Most of these now cause either LWs or DWs depending on damage type.
- Many creatures with healing spells will have their effects updated. They can now close both wound types, but will prioritize DWs first, LWs second, just like the Stop the bleed mushroom.
- Changes to hospitals
- Light Wounds cost 10 P$ apiece to heal.
- Deep Wounds cost 25 P$ apiece to heal.

March 18th 2023
Version 6.7.1- The Mining Overhaul Update (+ extra goodies)
- Mining received a major overhaul
- The exploration process was completely overhauled to reward progressing as deeply as possible.
- Introduction of a minecart feature to transport ores in and out of the mining facility
- Introduction of mine bosses, acting as guardians of specific depth levels
- The end of a mining facility should contain a GM-defined treasure (our recommendation is to make it an artifact weapon)
- Metal ore bundle generation is reduced from 1d800*5 to 1d200*5, reducing the maximum size of a single bundle from 4 kg to 1 kg.
- Gemstone ore bundle generation is reduced from 1d800*5 to 1d10*50, reducing the maximum size of a single bundle from 2 kg to 500 grams.
- New underbarrel grenade launcher: ISL-201 UGL-I integrated underbarrel grenade launcher, exclusive to Customs MP5s with the ISL-201 handguard.
- Maze Customs
- Blackhawk and Redhawk revolvers receive a new modification: Barrel porting, which acts as an integrated muzzle brake (Recoil -1).
- MP5 receives a new handguard: ISL-201 handguard (Adds an ISL-201 UGL-I underbarrel grenade launcher). Not compatible with Short MP5K barrel or Long barrel.
- Minor: RL optics for RPG-7
- Minor: Tokarev magazine conversion for Thompson
- Uncivilized Area: 5 new roomstyles, each designed to offer players opportunities to exercise non-combat skills.
- Blocked pathway: The front door leads to a Shortcut -1 but is blocked by the carcass of a rotting creature. The carcass must be butchered to pass the door.
- Dismantled roadway: The front door leads to a Shortcut -2 but is locked and missing a doorset. You must craft one with a Crafting toolkit to open the door. Crafting a doorset is treated as a Level 2 blueprint with no particular ingredients (50% base chance of success per kit use).
- Caved-in causeway: The front door leads to a Shortcut -3 but is caved-in by dirt, sand, or gravel. You must mine your way through it by successfully striking the obstruction 3 times. If you clear it, roll 1d20. On a 11-18, you receive one bundle of common ore. On a 19-20, you receive one bundle of rare ore.
- Collapsed highway: The front door leads to a Shortcut -4, but was destroyed to the point of impossibility. You must use a Gun Repair Kit (GRK), Melee weapon Repair Kit (MRK), or Explosives Toolkit (XTK) to repair it. Each usage of any of these kits repairs the door by 1d50%. Skill level bonus is +10% for every level above Unskilled.
- Padlocked cache: The front door has been fitted with a lock, requiring the right key, lockpicking, or brute-forcing to open. Roll &genbox to determine loot and lock type. Opening the door adds extra loot to the next room, if applicable. (2x &boxlootW or &boxlootM depending on the results of &genbox).
January 23rd 2023
Version 6.7 - The Bestiary Update
This update was co-designed with GenericArchangel and aims to make the bestiary more interesting and varied, more dangerous, yet make fighting worth the effort more often than not.
- Changes to existing creatures
- Aquagon: Gains two new attacks: Electric bite and Mist ball.
- Electragon: Changed the type of the stun attack from Piercing to Spec-Elec, increased base Pain to 44%.
- Everdragon: Armor Class was increased from A4 to A5.
- Kappa and Kenmun: Each gains a new attack, the Mist ball.
- Jami, Daijami, Oujami, Aquagon, Kappa, Kenmun: Changed the type of the mist ball from Special to Spec-Aqua, giving it the ability to cause Water-Soaked.
- Changes to effects
- Water-soaked: Is now a semi-permanent effect intended to represent the effects of being drenched in water. As long as the effect is active, it overrides On Fire (disables any fires on the creature's body and prevents new fires from starting), but makes Spec-Elec cause double damage. Additionally, while the effect is active, the creature +0.2% Fatigue per turn at the end of combat, and +0.1% Fatigue per room traveled at the end of a UA trip. This effect is separate from actual Travel Fatigue, meaning it is unaffected by the Wherever I May Roam trait.
- New item introduced: Dispoable bath towel, Weight 0.5. This item is a consumable with the sole purpose of removing an active Water-soaked effect. Once used, it is discarded. Available in workshops for
7.
- GM tip: A non-specified supply of bath towels is assumed to always be available in bathrooms, shower rooms, laundry rooms, and anywhere it would make sense to find them.
- Changes to containers
- Mimics, in the form of mimic traps, have been introduced. Upon being approached by an adventurer, they turn into creature-like constructs that must be fought to access the loot inside.
- Four types of mimic traps have been introduced: Biter, Basher, Melter, and Burner. Each has an appropriate attack.
- New stripper clip: Arisaka 5-round stripper clip, compatible with the Type 38, Type 44, and Type 97.
- 21 new creatures:
- Bugs:
- Canines:
- Dragons:
- Mamono:
- Science experiments:
- Bears (new category):
- Deer (new category):

December 24th 2022
Version 6.6.3.1 - Scary Snipers with Braking Power Mini-Update
This update was entirely designed by GenericArchangel to fix a flaw related to muzzle brakes.
- Changes to Weapon accessories
- Muzzle brakes: If equipped to a weapon that is also equipped with a scope, the brake limits that weapon's maximum Recoil to 6 on top of applying its normal Recoil -1 effect. In this case, if that weapon's Recoil were to exceed 6 after applying all modifiers, it is treated as 6.
November 1st 2022
Version 6.6.3 - The Static MG Update
This update was co-designed with GenericArchangel and aims to adds more flavor and additional combat opportunities to the world.
- Changes to Cover:
- New category of non-random cover (cannot appear in the UA): Machine gun emplacements (125 health, A4 armor)
- Four types of MG emplacements: three based on existing weapons (Static M249, Static QJY-88, Static M60) and a unique new one, based on the Browning M2 .50 BMG machine gun: Static M2HB
- Although static MGs function like weapons, they are non-equippable and not counted as new weapons (as they are elements of a piece of cover)
- MG emplacements appear only in Towns at the Town Gate. The type they receive depends on the town's population ("the larger the town, the bigger the bullets")
- New weapon accessories:
- M2 ammo belts and belt links
October 30th 2022
Version 6.6.2 - The Redrawn Map Update
This update was co-designed with GenericArchangel and aims to make traveling across the Mazes more immersive. The changes made in this update will also be used to support further future map and location-related updates.
- Changes to Uncivilized Area and Civilized Areas:
- Fast, Safe, and Deep routes are no longer available between all locations. While most locations are connected by a Deep route, the availability of a Safe or Fast route depends on the existence of a major trade route or traveling axis.
- All wiki pages for each town, alongside the Intersection page, now feature route notation to inform players of each available route between each location.
- A new world map has been produced. It now shows a visual representation of each available route (green for Safe, blue for Fast, red for Deep).
October 18th 2022
Version 6.6.1 - The Str⑨ngest Balance Update
This update was co-designed with GenericArchangel and addresses minor balancing issues with specific Character traits, yousei and kitsune.
- Character traits:
- Fast learner now grants 5d25 XP instead of 8d25 XP.
- Just Can't Use This now requires you to restrict 4 combat skills instead of just 2. 2 of the skills restricted must be either Firearms or Heavy Weapons, and the other 2 must be Melee and Misc.
- Yousei: Due to Limitless Potential, yousei now receive 4x training machine XP. This effect stacks with the Fast learner and Slow learner traits.
- Kitsune: Kitsune no longer start with Master level in Negotiation. Instead, they start with the Very Pretty trait for free. The trait is non-removable (similar to hakutaku and Mycologist).
October 17th 2022

October 3rd 2022
Version 6.5.4.1 - Archery rule patch
Weapons and Ammunition
- The rules now explicitly specify that Arrows, Large bolts and 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 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.
September 18th 2022
Version 6.5.4 - Guns, Blood, and Drugs; A balancing update
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
Limb health
- Wounds now cause a bleeding rate of -0.3 Blood per wound per turn.
Meds
- First aid kit (FAK): Weight reduced to 1 (previously 2)
- Epoetin-alfa: Effect modified to Blood +0.2/turn, -30 ntri/turn, +0.4% 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
- Nicotine withdrawal
Effects
- Alcohol affinity (Oni creature trait): Effect simplified. Instead of both halving Inebriation received and doubling the Stress relief effect of 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.
