=== CryoFall v0.13.0 ===

Major new features:
   - New quest system!
   - Number of starting quests that will teach new players basics of the game and provide general guidance early on, we will be expanding this system with each subsequent update further
   - Items can now be used directly from inventory (drag and drop it on your character or simply Alt+Click on it)
   - New strength boost medicine and character effects
   - New structure: Evaporation fridge
   - New items: industrial chemicals, new bottles with water (salty and stale), etc.
   - New props and decorations for ruined towns

   - Interaction tooltips/hints are added to world objects
   - Many new technologies
   - Trees now drop saplings that can be planted
   - New water type (lake)
   - You can now fill bottles from water bodies (lakes and sea)
   - Added survey when exiting the game (please leave your feedback if you have extra 5 minutes)

Changes:
   - Map size expanded (specifically desert and northern area)
   - Map now includes more points for oil and lithium extraction
   - New points of interest to explore on the map
   - Each radtown now has an individual sign to denote which type of facility it was (and consequently what loot you can expect)

   - AI can now move and attack up/down slopes
   - Screenshot now includes game version
   - You can now move even with any menu open
   - Door blueprints are now "open" by default so you can move through them
   - You can no longer punch trees (you could, but no damage applied and the game will tell you to use an axe)
   - Significant balance changes, especially to crafting (some recipes are also cheaper)
   - Improved performance across the board, especially asset streaming which decreases the micro freezes on asset loading
   - Improved server performance so you should experience smooth gameplay even if there are hundreds of players.
   - Credits updated and now includes the list of used technologies.

Fixes:
   - Fixed exploit with weapon range. We will see how it plays and make further changes if necessary
   - Fixed issue with some animals that couldn't be killed
   - Fixed annoying head bobbing during the melee attack animation
   - Fixed console not opening in non-US keyboard layouts
   - Fixed new options not applying when an updated version of the game is launched
        - Fixed incorrect door orientation detection when building a door near an another door.
   - Number of other fixes and improvements

Important:
   - The world has been wiped. Enjoy a fresh start!

=== CryoFall v0.13.1 ===

- Added context menu to chat. You can click on any name for additional actions (such as mention and copy)

And another update! We are on the roll this time!

=== CryoFall v0.13.2 ===

Changes:
- Rebalanced creatures attack range, attack rate, and damage defense (this is really quite substantial change so we'd like to hear your thoughts on this)
- Slightly rebalanced Herbal Remedy recipe
- Increased healing herbs spawn density
- Rebalanced Musket and Flintlock pistol (increased damage, but also longer reloading time)
- Rebalanced armor defense formula to provide slightly more protection
- Increased armor durability (roughly by 2 times)
- Increased armor base stats, especially for impact protection and rebalanced certain armors to be more suitable for their designed role
- Further item synchronization improvements

Fixed:
- Fixed weapon scantest - in some cases the hit was not registered (this is very major improvement as it affects both player weapons and monsters)
- Fixed placement of seeds and saplings: it was possible to place it in your current position and stuck there (thanks @Aroie)
