  - tweak: Changed F7 to buildmode, F8 to Invismin (again). Removed stealthmin toggle
  RemieRichards:
  - rscadd: Added a new lavaland "boss"
  - tweak: Hostile mobs will now find a new target if they failed to attack their
      current one for 30 seconds, this reduces cheese by simply making the mob find
      something else to do/someone to kill
  - bugfix: Hostile mobs with search_objects will now regain that value after a certain
      amount of time (per-mob, base 3 seconds), this is because being attacked causes
      mobs with this var to turn it off, so they can run away, however it was literally
      never turned on which caused swarmers to get depression and never do anything.
2016-12-03:
  Joan:
  - rscadd: Trying to move while bound by Geis will cause you to start resisting,
      but the time required to resist is up by half a second.

      being stunned while bound will no longer totally reset your resist progress.

      out of it and will fully repair the binding.
  - tweak: Geis's pre-binding channel now takes longer for each servant above 5. Geis's
      conversion channel also takes slightly longer for each servant above 5.
  - rscadd: Converted engineering and miner cyborgs can now create Sigils of Transgression.

      handle switch!
  Incoming5643:
  - bugfix: The timer for shuttle calls/recalls now scales with the security level

      arrive, but may be recalled for up to 10 minutes. They also don't require a

      the moment it finishes refueling.

      be proselytized.

  XDTM:
  - rscadd: Quantum Pads are now buildable in R&D!
  - rscadd: Quantum Pads, once built, can be linked to other Quantum Pads using a
      multitool. Using a Pad who has been linked will teleport everything on the sending

      can lead to pad C.'

      does not pull the target but instead pulls whatever item he''s holding in his

      which can hold items.
  Shadowlight213:

  - bugfix: The charge spell will no longer bilk you on wand charges, and wands that
      are dead won't show up as charged.
  Joan:
  - rscdel: Clockwork Marauders no longer have Fatigue. It was difficult to balance
      and made them too easy to force into recalling. This means they just have health;
      they aren't forced to recall by anything, but can accordingly die much more
      easily.
  - rscadd: Accordingly Clockwork Marauders now have more health, do slightly more
      damage, block slightly more often, and have to go slightly further from their
      host to take damage.
  - rscadd: Marauders that are not recovering(from recalling while the host's health
      is too high to emerge) and are inside their host, or are within a tile of their

      you to speak in a HEAVY TONE. This voice can compel hearers to briefly obey
      certain codewords, such as "STOP". Using these codewords will severely increase
      this ability's cooldown, and only one will be used per sentence.
  - rscadd: 'Use .x, :x, or #x as a prefix to use Voice of God or any future vocal
      cord organs.'
