Greetings fellow gods,

As I hinted last week, after a few days of rest, I jumped on the pending issues you reported, so we'll have a longer changelog this time.

The main addition is secret, so I won't say much. Have fun figuring it out.

Here's the list of changes for this update:

- Wheat Grain is now considered a type of Seed.
- Wicker is no longer considered to be a type of Wood.
- Sight property now stacks on items.

- Fear effect from Battle Cry no longer applies to Companions.

Modding

- Items, Abilities, Glyphs, Buildings, Skills, Passives, Amplifiers, World Locations, and Portraits tilesheets are no longer globally overridden by new mods, meaning the core_2 tile sheets are loaded for any mod that doesn't explicitly override them.
- Learning new recipes from the On Destruction component has been enabled.
- Multiple Tool Types can now be added from race passives.
- Fixed custom tool types not being added.
- Critical Hit buff and Damage from Missing Health ability properties are now supported in Ability Editor.

What's next?

I'll spend one more week on smaller features and bugs while also focusing on improvements to the building feature for the upcoming major update. A new civilization is also in the works, this time for the Savanna biome. The next two magic skills are still in the design phase, so I'm unsure which week we'll see them, but hopefully soon.
