NormiesTweaks.dll:
Temporal storms deal more damage linearly; the first storm will deal 80% of your temporal stability, and the longest will deal 160%.
arrows.json:
Steel and meteoric iron arrows now deal 3 and 2.5 damage respectively. Bronze to steel-tier arrows have had their break chance reduced
cheese.json:
Cheddar and blue cheese give more satiety, cheddar giving 600 and blue cheese giving 720 per slice. They also benefit from the 50% meal buff now
drifterbuff.json:
Drifters of every tier now have 100% knockback reduction to make them more threatening. Other rust creatures remain unchanged
fish.json:
Fish will always drop their meat now
longbow.json:
Longbows have a damage bonus of 8, but twice as slow draw time. This makes the bow much more useful for hunting, and gives your arrows more value. The recurve and simple bows remain unchanged as a quicker, close-range option
malefactor.json:
Changed the Malefactors's "Frail" negative to the "Claustrophobic" negative. Added "Persistant" as a long-term positive trait that decreases hunger rate by 30% and boosts healing by 25%
moosethatkillsyou.json:
Moose now have stats similar to brown bears, including drops. Health has increased to 64, movespeed while attacking is now 0.055. They now drop 20 redmeat instead of 13, huge hides, and large carcasses
rabbit.json:
The drop rate of small hides has been doubled from 0.5 to 1.0. This doesn't guarantee a small hide, but boosts the chance from low-weight creatures from 25% to 50%
rustcreaturedrops.json:
All rust creatures drop more rusty gears and flax. Flax drop rates scale linearly from 0.5 to 5, and rusty gear rates exponentially increase from 0.25 to 8. Special creatures that guarantee a temporal gear also guarantee a jonas part.
This file also incudes changes to temporal stability gained back from killing creatures:
surface: 0.05
deep: 0.10
tainted: 0.15
corrupt: 0.20
nightmare: 0.25
special: 1.0
scalearmor.json:
Scale armor no longer requires chainmail to make, and instead requires 16 scales for the body, 6 scales for the head, and 10 for the leggings. It also no longer requires chain to repair
tailor.json:
Removes the required tailor trait from sewing kits and tailored gambesons. This was made with Tetere's Class Tweaks in mind. Mod can be found here
