Additional Features

All platforms

Networking

• Container inventory contents are no longer replicated to clients until needed (an optimization).
• More reliable networking calls from clients to the server.
• Reduced the amount of network data sent between various systems.

Other

• BURG.L Chips now award science when returned regardless of whether the corresponding BURG.L quest is active.
• Mint Mallet has been renamed "Mint Mace".
• Rotten bee equipment can now be analyzed to unlock the un-rotten recipes.

Combat

• Bone weapons have slightly less durability.

• Notifications now will display what's in the queue to improve feedback with this system.

• A "New Resource" queue will display on the HUD if you pick up new items faster than the HUD can handle displaying the notifications for them.
• Layout revision to the OS Config menu to make viewing status effect icon/details better.
• Weapons and arrows that are embedded in creatures will not display their floating icon until the weapon/arrow becomes dislodged. This cleans up some icon spam when using a bow.
• Items dropped in the world that uses the temp loot bag model (armors, etc.) will have their item icon displayed on top of them.

World

Creatures

• Creature Perception: Player noise now has a linear falloff as opposed to all heard player noise having the same value regardless of distance.
• Increased hearing range of Wolf Spiders from 2500 to 5000 to account for the above change.
