	* '''10.4.22:''' The crafting cottage in the Faded Zone has been updated with a back room, where a mentor can be found to teach crafting skills. Opium is again available for purchase in the Faded Zone's den, and mortars and pestles at the kindly toolbox. DISASSEMBLE has been changed to [[Dismantle command\|DISMANTLE]] when it comes to the dissassembly of tents and other impermanent shelters, and the [[Dissembling (skill)\|Dissembling]] skill now has explanatory lessons written for it. When asking an NPC to teach a lesson, the NPC will double check with you if you haven't got the experience to learn it. Herbalism and foraging can be practiced alone if outdoors or in the right environment.		* '''10.4.22:''' The crafting cottage in the Faded Zone has been updated with a back room, where a mentor can be found to teach crafting skills.

	* '''10.5.22:''' [[Dreams]] can now be added from the website. (On your character profile, check 'Story Overview' and there will be a button on the lower left for adding a new 'experience', which can be a dream, vision, or hallucination.) A few bugs with dreams have been fixed, principally the inability to properly add dreams to developments in one's personal story. Dreams are also now split into three types: Dreams, Hallucinations, and Visions. Visions can be had any time, while hallucinations are triggered by hallucinating (on opium, or other such substances).		* '''10.5.22:''' [[Dreams]] can now be added from the website.

Dreams are also now split into three types: Dreams, Hallucinations, and Visions. Visions can be had any time, while hallucinations are triggered by hallucinating (on opium, or other such substances).
	* '''10.19.22:''' A [[~~Libraries~~\|library]] system is now in place, along with rankings for scholarly sorts who publish at those libraries. While anyone might have a personal library composed of works that they have put into shelves themselves, the formal library system requires a group of scholars for upkeep. The PUBLISH, RESEARCH, and REVIEW abilities have been added as special abilities for those who have levels in both [[Education (skill)\|Education]] and [[Investigation (skill)\|Investigation]] skills. You can make copies of raw research or published works at libraries as well. It is now more difficult to stop your fall on a continuing slope, the steeper the slope is. Climbing has become more difficult in general as previously its ease was boosted by a blunt measure of strength - but that boost is now more dependent on fatigue and encumbrance as well. Remember to assess exits while climbing so you know how steep they are (measured in the difficulty of the climb).		* '''10.19.22:''' A [[Research\|research library]] system is now in place, along with rankings for scholarly sorts who publish at those libraries.

	* '''10.24.22:''' Some rewrites have been made to the [[~~Libraries~~\|~~library~~]] system, including: a way to set a research narrative, a timer on doing research that varies according to your skill roll, and the necessity for published works to be approved before becoming available in libraries.		* '''10.24.22:''' Some rewrites have been made to the [[Research\|research]] system, including: a way to set a research narrative, a timer on doing research that varies according to your skill roll, and the necessity for published works to be approved before becoming available in libraries.
	*'''10.24.22:''' You can now use a tourniquet when trying to stop someone's bleeding. When a tourniquet is on a body part, wounds on that part will not properly heal, so it's still important to get the bleeding wound properly stitched at some point. Leaving a tourniquet on for over 24 hours will also begin the development of a worsening pressure bruise. Things that will work as tourniquets should include bandages, any kind of cloth, belts, and ropes. [[Cutscenes]] have also now been updated in a few noticeable ways. All cutscene logs will be automatically saved, and now there is an easy button to click on logs to unsave them so that they can expire. You can now properly edit the first post of a cutscene. Some of the aesthetics on the cutscene detail have been slightly edited. And lastly, there is no longer a length limitation on exposition for the cutscene description.		*'''10.24.22:''' You can now use a tourniquet when trying to stop someone's bleeding.

	* '''11.6.22:''' Earning titles from groups of virtual NPCs will now enable you to have specialty abilities. For (currently nonexistent) example: if you traveled to Riendu and participating in a brawling club and won their championship, you may gain a few abilities related to locally-practiced martial arts. There is at least one such special ability coded in as of now, but they should be secret surprises. Life events have been instituted which can also grant you special abilities: these will mostly be added by staff through the course of stories, but some happen automatically. Currently existing example: if you have survived a bite from a [[zsimik]] in the past, you will have immunity to their venom.		* '''11.6.22:''' Earning titles from groups of virtual NPCs will now enable you to have specialty abilities.

	* '''11.2.22:''' Anyone who has a metal object and a lit fire nearby can now cauterize another person's bleeding wound. This works much like stitching, but it can cause the victim to faint, and it causes immediate burn scarring.

Going along with this, the [[Suction command\|SUCTION]] special ability has been added to the repertoire of an educated medical professional, allowing the withdrawal of blood or fluid built up in the lungs. The [[Administer command\|ADMINISTER]] ability has also been added to the [[First Aid (skill)\|First Aid]] skill, so that healers can administer antidotes to patients who are unconscious or asleep.

	* '''10.4.22:''' The crafting cottage in the Faded Zone has been updated with a back room, where a mentor can be found to teach crafting skills. Opium is again available for purchase in the Faded Zone's den, and mortars and pestles at the kindly toolbox. DISASSEMBLE has been changed to [[Dismantle command\|DISMANTLE]] when it comes to the dissassembly of tents and other impermanent shelters, and the [[Dissembling (skill)\|Dissembling]] skill now has explanatory lessons written for it. When asking an NPC to teach a lesson, the NPC will double check with you if you haven't got the experience to learn it. Herbalism and foraging can be practiced alone if outdoors or in the right environment.		* '''10.4.22:''' The crafting cottage in the Faded Zone has been updated with a back room, where a mentor can be found to teach crafting skills.

	* '''10.5.22:''' [[Dreams]] can now be added from the website. (On your character profile, check 'Story Overview' and there will be a button on the lower left for adding a new 'experience', which can be a dream, vision, or hallucination.) A few bugs with dreams have been fixed, principally the inability to properly add dreams to developments in one's personal story. Dreams are also now split into three types: Dreams, Hallucinations, and Visions. Visions can be had any time, while hallucinations are triggered by hallucinating (on opium, or other such substances).		* '''10.5.22:''' [[Dreams]] can now be added from the website.

	* '''10.19.22:'' A [[Libraries\|library]] system is now in place, along with rankings for scholarly sorts who publish at those libraries. While anyone might have a personal library composed of works that they have put into shelves themselves, the formal library system requires a group of scholars for upkeep. The PUBLISH, RESEARCH, and REVIEW abilities have been added as special abilities for those who have levels in both [[Education (skill)\|Education]] and [[Investigation (skill)\|Investigation]] skills. You can make copies of raw research or published works at libraries as well.		* '''10.19.22:''' A [[Libraries\|library]] system is now in place, along with rankings for scholarly sorts who publish at those libraries.

Climbing has become more difficult in general as previously its ease was boosted by a blunt measure of strength - but that boost is now more dependent on fatigue and encumbrance as well. Remember to assess exits while climbing so you know how steep they are (measured in the difficulty of the climb).
