(u)HullCrushDepth
(*)All types of artifacts should now be able to be activated.

(u)AngriestIBM
(*)In an effort to make people sorta care when expensive computer equipment is exploded, telesci now needs the mainframe to work
(*)The interface is about the same though okay!! No command line, I'm not some sort of turbo hitler, jeez.
(*)Some nerd could totally hack it with command line stuff if they wanted to, I guess.
(-)
(t)tue nov 26 13
(u)BurntCornMuffin
(*)Flamethrowers now have a nifty particle effect and sound to accompany the already awesome hellmixes you all have been making.
(*)Changeling heal rate restored to 1 per tick fire, 10 per tick all else.  Being on fire still disables healing.
(*)Abominations only take 20% of damage from brute.

(t)sun nov 24 13
(u)Dr. Cogwerks
(*)Welding fuel tank ruptures are significantly more violent now
(*)Major explosions on the station level now have some screenshake and a few new sounds

(u)BurntCornMuffin
(*)New item: fuel tank.  Contains 200 units of welding fuel by default.
(*)Now compatible with standard NT fuel dispensing tanks.
(*)Reworked flamethrowers:
(*)Plasma tanks are no longer part of the recipe.
(*)Instead, large air tanks and fuel tanks need to be attached to the flamethrower assembly.
(*)Try using different reagents in the flamethrower!
(*)UPDATE: Touch reactions now work properly with flamethrowers.  This fixes a number of issues with chemicals that 'are fire' rather than 'catch fire'.
(*)Changeling heal rate increased by factor of 3, but is now disabled if the changeling is on fire.

(*)Disabled systems can be turned right back on through the ship tab's computer, so for now, this is mostly just annoying
(-)
(u)Infinite Monkeys

(*)Enabled the new-type cyborgs as a test. Some stuff may be substantially different!
(*)Cyborg construction for new-type cyborgs is a bit different. The brain goes in the head piece before attaching, you use a wrench on the frame once it's complete to activate the new cyborg.
(*)After you've opened a Cyborg (crowbar) and exposed it's wires (screwdriver), use robot parts on it to attach new parts, or a wrench to remove existing ones.
(*)Treads are now available as a cyborg component. They occupy both leg slots - they boost speed a bit but drain power from the cyborg's cell.
(*)New type Cyborgs may get a free upgrade depending on which module they pick at the start. Mining Borgs also have the option to teleport to the mining station.
