well, lucky you. You get an earlier update than expected because I'm a goof and forgot the recipe for Effigium bars in the fission furnace.

* added missing Fission Furnace recipe for Effigium Bars

* Added station: Liquid Collector
* Place on a biome, and it will (once wired to a power source) collect liquid from the atmospheric moisture and create it at the Liquid Collector location. This means you can generate pools of helpful (or harmful) liquids as needed.

* move Advance Alloy and Durable Alloy unlocks to other materials besides Lead to prevent getting access to recipes in tier 1 that you cant make until tier4+ anyway

* corrected text in the Cloth Fab quest asking for a Bone Helm, to correctly ask for the Bone Mask

* a couple quests have been added that launch with bone and water pickup, guiding you towards hydrogen, oxygen, salt and the bone spear. This should make early tiers more clear.

* slight adjustment to gas effects for hydrogen, nitrogen and poison gas. You won't slow down much at all, but gone are the acrobatic bonuses in "liquids"

adds to last nights release :

Liquid Collector

pretty much a pre-atmos.condenser object (it takes its place in the heirarchy). You can stack them.

When wired to power, they will generated whatever the biome liquid is that suits your current biome. This can therefore generate water, slime, etc depending on where you are.

This concludes this release schedule. The following is compiling all changes in this series, not just between .67 and .70.

It's a pretty substantial list, and the last chunk is all new (and pretty significant a change in the long-run. But it should heavily reduce your grind as well)



### 4.20.7

* Bone War Cleaver changed to Ferozium Cleaver and has a new look more in-line with a t5 weapon

* Scientist crew members no longer have molotovs, and should be more useful

* the Nega Blade has been tweaked. if you find one, its damage area is fixed. This means your Gregs with them should be more useful by far, as well!

* greg

* Frozen Wastes has a completely revised section and several new features

* elder liquid sensor added

* added liquid pumps

* several microdungeon tweaks

* new monster: King Snake

* new monster: Baroshk Nyano (Alien)

* moved the new StarTech updates to an add-on mod instead

*water walk effect reworked

* frozen water, and Glass tiles now break if you fall on them from height

* added Pro Fishing Rod. unlocked via Quietus Bar. No idea how balanced it is :)

* added more Desert/Badlands decoration

* new Starspawn

* fixed broken Solar Panel

* added another tier of Battery to the Power Station. unlocked with the current "last" tier battery. It has 16k max storage and 16v power output.

* Atmos. Regulator now takes twice the power it previously required (48 instead of 24)

* reduced solar tower width by 1 pixel, allowing smooth placement of several without wonky spaces

* Save the Bees! merchant now gives much greater value to Queens. Check it out. You might just luck out with a crapload of ore for all your breeding work. Suggestions welcome for changes.

* cell blade alt fire changed, and functioning

* Arctic Parka no longer requires Xithricite. Instead, Ice Crystal is required (which is far easier to come by than xithricite). This should make it much more viable for protecting you from extreme cold.

* recon armor now needs canvas rather than cotton wool

* reptile armor recipe slightly adjusted. It now requires Silk rather than Canvas.

* chitin no longer requires Cell Matter. Instead, it calls for Wild Vines. This should make it require travel to construct. You can no longer skip tiers early on. Sorry!

* Hacker armor silver cost slightly increased, likewise to its Polymer requirement. Additionally, it's Protection has been slightly lowered to set it in between tiers. It was too powerful for when you could obtain it, otherwise.

* slight change to Ghost Weave recipe. It uses Graphene rather than Silicon. This suits its absurd energy capacity much better.


* Lead has been added to a few biome ore tables that were, somehow, missing it. This should make lead less annoying to gather

* Moonstone has been removed from Cyberspheres

* Xithricite can now be found spawning as an ore on Aether Sea biomes. It also retains its original recipe.

* Isogen can now be found spawning as an ore on Ice Wastes biomes. It also retains its original recipe.

* Pyreite can now be found spawning on Infernus biomes. It also retains its original recipe.

* testing new ore "Effigium". It appears very rarely and only on Lightless, Aether Sea and one more biome. It is also essentially invisible *unless* you use an ore detector to find it. You can still mine it...it will simply be a surprise when you do! It is used in very little right now, and is more a proof of concept than anything else just yet.
* you can toss it into an extractor or Blast Furnace or Arc Smelter

* Ice Wastes are T5 or higher (was 4-6, now 5-6)
* Aether Seas are now T5 or higher (was 4-7, now 5-7)
* Unknown biomes are now T4 or higher (was 3-8. Now 4-8)

* added Underground biome for Aether Sea

* Atmosphere Condensers now give different resources based on the biome they are placed on. This should make them more interesting, and fun to experiment with.

* added another tier of Battery to the Power Station. unlocked with the current "last" tier battery. It has 16k max storage and 16v power output.

* Atmos. Regulator now takes twice the power it previously required (48 instead of 24)

* reduced solar tower width by 1 pixel, allowing smooth placement of several without wonky spaces

* Save the Bees! merchant now gives much greater value to Queens. Check it out. You might just luck out with a crapload of ore for all your breeding work. Suggestions welcome for changes.

* cell blade alt fire changed, and functioning

* fixed an error with dryriverbed subbiome causing desert biome generation issues

* pro fishing rod description corrected

* added new : T5 Battery!!!! unlock with a T4

* Atmos Regulator now takes twice the power to run

* corrected description for liquid pump

* moved the new StarTech updates to an add-on mod instead

*water walk effect reworked

* frozen water, and Glass tiles now break if you fall on them from height

* added Pro Fishing Rod. unlocked via Quietus Bar. No idea how balanced it is :)

* added more Desert/Badlands decoration

* new Starspawn

* several microdungeon tweaks

* new monster: King Snake

* new monster: Baroshk Nyano (Alien)

* moved the new StarTech updates to an add-on mod instead

new object: elder liquid sensor

*more* changes to the Frozen Wastes. I've actually rebuild an entire section in a new way and added a nifty little trap/progress sort of bit into the temple. You'll have to play it to see what I mean, precisely.


* Bone War Cleaver changed to Ferozium Cleaver and has a new look more in-line with a t5 weapon

* Scientist crew members no longer have molotovs, and should be more useful with their shiny new Bio pistols

* the Nega Blade has been tweaked. if you find one, its damage area is fixed. This means your Gregs with them should be more useful by far, as well!
