S.P.L.U.R.T-Station-13/html/changelogs/archive/2016-01.yml

2016-01-01:
  Iamgoofball:
  - experiment: Redid how objectives are assigned, they're now a lot more random in
      terms of what you can get.
  Incoming5643:
  - tweak: Removed gender restrictions from socks.
  Joan:
  - rscdel: Storage Blobs are gone; they were effectively a waste of resources, as
      there are more or less no points at which you should need them, unless you were
      winning excessively hard.
  - rscdel: Blobs can no longer burst early; instead, the button gives some early
      help and serves to indicate you're a blob.
  - wip: Blobbernauts now poll candidates instead of grabbing a candidate immediately.
      The poll is 5 seconds, so that there's no significant pause between making a
      blobbernaut and it doing stuff.
  - rscadd: Blobbernaut creation replaces Storage Blob creation on the blob HUD.
  - tweak: Overmind communication is now much larger and easier to see, and blob mobs,
      such as blobbernauts, will hear it.
  Kor:
  - rscadd: The wizard has a new spell, Lesser Summon Guns. This summons an unending
      stream of single shot bolt action rifles into his hands, automatically replacing
      themselves as you fire.
  - bugfix: Fixes successive generations of grey tide clones not despawning.
  - tweak: Using challenge ops now delays shuttle refuel.
  - rscadd: Added a new wizard event, Advanced Darkness.
  MrStonedOne:
  - experiment: GHOST POPUP RE-WORK

      unless you tab to a button first
  - tweak: Ghost popups will close themselves after the time out has ended
  - rscadd: Ghost popups are now themed.
  - tweak: Long actions (like resisting out of handcuffs) will no longer count space/nograv
      drifting as the user moving.
  - tweak: This does not apply to the target of a long action if that target isn't
      you. Pulling something while space drifting and working on it intentionally
      won't work.
2016-01-02:
  Kor:
  - rscadd: Guardians/Parasites are now named after constellations, and have new sprites
      from Ausops.
  Kor and GunHog:
  - rscadd: Malfunctioning AIs can now purchase Enhanced Surveillance for 30 points,

  MMMiracles:
  - rscadd: A distress signal was recently discovered with gateway coordinates attached
      to a far-off research facility owned by Nanotrasen. The signal was sent out
      in hopes of someone competent receiving it, unfortunately, your station was
      the only one to respond. Local security forces may not be welcoming your arrival
      group with open arms.
