Cargo Bounty Rework
by GansuLalan
The Cargo Bounty system has a received a large overhaul to how bounties generate with the goal of increasing variety.
Cargo Bounties now generate with a random job-based category, from which items in the category are randomly selected for inclusion in the Bounty.
Bounties can now vary greatly in the amount of items required* (with the spesos reward scaling with it), as well as the how many different types of items are required for fulfillment
Thus you can get bounties for a bit of money for a small amount of things, or occasionally a giga-order that can bring in the big bucks*
*Numbers on this are still being adjusted
Trait System Rebalance
Many traits have been adjusted or removed to discourage powergaming, as well as the other positive traits being disabled temporarily to a bug with the traits system.
- The Natural Regeneration, Natural Resiliance, Hemophiliac, Careful Steps, Table Hider, and Temperature Tolerance traits have been temporarily disabled.
- The Swift Feet trait has been removed.
- Deuteranopia and Ultravision traits have been moved to a new Vision category.
- The Blindness trait is now incurable by Surgery. (The short-sighted trait is still curable, and if you become Blind by any other means besides the round-start trait, it is still curable).
More Janitor Syndicate Items
by mkanke
The Janitor has received 4 exclusive Syndicate items, accessible under the "Job" section in the Syndicate Uplink.
- The Sword Mop has been added, costing 30 TC. It acts and appears as an ordinary mop, but has a sword sheathed within the handle (able to be unsheathed from within the right click menu), dealing slash damage with a 10% reflect chance.
- The Disguised Lube Grenade has been added, costing 10 TC. This is a space lube grenade that appears completely identical to a standard cleanade, perfect for either handing out to the unsuspecting public, or for your own use!
- Insulated Rubber Gloves have been added, costing 15 TC, allowing the Janitor to have all the perks of Insulated Gloves while remaining inconspicuous.
- The Lubed Wet Floor Sign has been added, costing 5 TC. It's a normal wet floor sign, but slips you when stepped on!
