Added the ability to guide animals. If you have a leashed animal, you can right-click its leash and "Guide" the animal. The animal then walks wherever you click. Other animals your guided animal hits are "Shoo":ed. Cow Bowling intensifies. Pretty sweet. Should, in retrospect, have put this ability on the animal, rather than on the leash.

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Mulch Embankment	2022-07-10	Embankment Scaffold -- (New Implementations)
Added "Embankment Scaffold". Ground in front of an Embankment Scaffold can be raised higher than would otherwise be allowed, to form a ridge. Once one scaffold has been built, it can then be extended much like walls. Pretty excited to add this, and have been wanting to do so for some time. Let's see the crazy exploits you can come up with!
Mulch Embankment	2022-07-10	Mulch, Embankment Scaffold -- (Small Fixes)

World 14 (2022-08-12)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
World 14	2022-08-12	Hunger -- (CHARACTER & COMBAT)
Made it so that Hunger now decays by the cube root of the effect level, rather than the square of it, causing the more powerful levels (e.g. 300% modifier) to decay significantly slower, and the lower levels of effect (e.g. 50% modifier) to decay correspondingly faster. Aiming to push functional hunger levels away from guaranteed 300%.
World 14	2022-08-12	Salt Crystal -- (CHARACTER & COMBAT)
Nerfed Salt such that it works similarly to the pre-W14 hunger-level scaling: its efficacy decreases on more powerful hunger levels with the square of their power.
World 14	2022-08-12	Hirdsman's Sword -- (CHARACTER & COMBAT)
Reduced armor penetration of Hirdsman's Sword from 12.5 to 7.5%. Aiming to restore a bit of the B12 combat meta.

Made changes aiming to significantly reduce the early world gain from hunting big game animals.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (INDUSTRY)
Reworked the mining industry to provide for more graceful progression through content.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (INDUSTRY)
Restored metal spiraling precisely as it used to be. But there's a twist.
World 14	2022-08-12	Bloom -- (INDUSTRY)
"Bloom" now turns to "Dross" if it cools, rather than "Slag".
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (INDUSTRY)
Rebalanced food and curiosities, attempting mostly to buff underutilized recipes.
World 14	2022-08-12	Cachalot -- (INDUSTRY)
Reworked the whale spawning mechanic, aiming to reduce the reliance on simply seeing ocean tiles to find infinite whales.
World 14	2022-08-12	Farming -- (INDUSTRY)
Reworked crop quality gains so that all crops should gain quality relatively uniformly, with some geographically local variance still applied. Aiming to break the reign of turnip tyranny.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (SIEGE & REALMS)
Added "Siege Boost" to claims.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (SIEGE & REALMS) "Siege Boost" extended version.
Added "Siege Boost" to claims. For each level of a new ancestral worship spell cast on a claim, the claim gains one point of "Siege Boost". Siege Boost acts as a multiplier on the amount of time a Siege Engine needs to effectively attack targets on the claim, where each point is an additional x0.5. E.g. a battering ram would need to wait 36h, rather than 24h, to attack a claim with one extra point of "Siege Boost". The first five points of "Siege Boost" are permanent, and remain forever once added. The latter five points are transient, and decay away over a few days. In summary: You can boost the siege defense of any claim, causing it to require up to 5x longer drying times on siege engines before it can be attacked. Aiming to make siege of an established base significantly more difficult.
World 14	2022-08-12	Realm -- (SIEGE & REALMS)
Significantly reduced the effect of most realm buffs by factors varying from ~6 to ~2.5, aiming to reduce the necessity of a well managed realm.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (SIEGE & REALMS) "realm buffs" extended version.

The speed bonus effect to ships now applies to all ships while actually in the Realm, rather than always to ships built in the Realm. Ships in the realm now travel (up to) 24% faster, quite simply. Mountain Tradition: Decreased max effects from 15% to 3% Myth of the Bull: Decreased max effects from 30% to 6%. (Update text: Specific animals -> Livestock) Woodland Realm: Decreased tree/bush growth speed bonus from 15% to 3%. Decreased quality bonus to forest animals and forage from 7.5% and 15% to 6% flat.
World 14	2022-08-12	Mulberry Leaf, Silkfarming -- (MISCELLANEOUS)
Reworked the Mulberry leaf mechanic. Mulberry leaves now have a number of "uses" when silk worms eat them, ~50. Aiming to normalize the amount of leaves provided by a single tree.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (MISCELLANEOUS)
Switched the "Plant" and "Empty" flower menu options on the Treeplanter's Pot so that "Plant" has hotkey 1, and "Empty" has hotkey 2, rather than the other way around.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (MISCELLANEOUS)
Reduced the speed of "Knarr"s in shallow water. Aiming to balance them somewhat relative to "Snekkja"s.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (MISCELLANEOUS)
"Parry" and "Shield Up" now actually match their documented effect, increasing their block weight with the m-factor. Unsure as to why they didn't before.
World 14	2022-08-12	<No Pages> -- (MISCELLANEOUS)

Camping Shovel	2022-08-17	Primitive Tent -- (New Implementations) - Extended one.
Added "Primitive Tent", portable building made from cloth. The Primitive Tent Can be folded up, transported, and pitched again elsewhere. The Tent has to be empty to be folded up. Once the Tent has been pitched, whoever pitched it will be considered the owner of it. It is always a crime of Vandalism to enter a Tent unless the door is set as open, or unless you have party permissions to enter it. It is only a crime to enter. The Tent confers no claim protection to things inside it. It is not possible to log out inside a tent.

Whitemetal Rain (2022-08-26)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Whitemetal Rain	2022-08-26	Weather -- (New Implementations)
Added rain! From now on, it will occasionally rain in the Hearthlands. For now, the effect is only *IMMERSIVE AF*, and a server wide toggle that we set, but we would like some feedback on the effect in terms, primarily, of performance. We aim to expand on the actual mechanics of rain over the coming weeks, so feel free to suggest things rain should do. Sprout mushrooms, turn off winged insects, increased chances of catching fish, fill up open containers, earthworms and toads everywhere, boost crops, "Soaking Wet" debuff causing internal bleeding and -25 Con modifiers to everyone, &c&c. The design space is boundless. Jokes aside, I think the effect is pretty cool, and I hope it can give the game an added touch of fairy dust. We also want to make the effect localized, add some clouds to the horizon meter to indicate it, &c&c. It's mostly a start, but I was pretty eager to roll it out. I hope you like it as much as I do.

Added "Bush Rolls", wilderness offal food.
Whitemetal Rain	2022-08-26	Pan-Seared Fish -- (New Implementations)

Added "Wildgoat Lur", instrument.
Rainy Sponge	2022-09-04	Tar Doll -- (New Implementations)

Earlier drug quests focus on "Liberty Caps". Reduced amount of "Experience" quests significantly. Added quests to dance and do drugs under various specific conditions (rain, time of day, &c). Let us know how it feels now.
Liberty Shrimp	2022-09-11	Palisade -- (Key Fixes)
Palisades will now never cascade from unclaimed land to claimed land.

Hedgehogs now give "Quill'd" wounds if you attempt to punch them.
Liberty Shrimp	2022-09-11	Creel, Leather Purse, Silk Purse, Wicker Picker -- (Small Fixes) ...
Can now mousewheel from "Creels" and similar containers.

Juniper Buoy (2022-09-18)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Village Buoy -- (New Implementations)
Added "Village Buoy"s. Parallell to a Village Banner, except a Buoy expands a village claim over water, rather than land. They have a fairly large building exclusion zone around them, and you can even, though ugly, sail through them. I hope that this is a nice thing that we can have.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Crackling Cutlets -- (New Implementations)
Added "Crackling Cutlets", food.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Frog, Snail, Toad, Earthworm -- (New Implementations)
Frogs, snails, toads and earth worms should now appear in large numbers during rain.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Bug, Bait -- (New Implementations)
Winged insects should no longer appear during rain.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)) SKIPPED: General behavior fix.
Reworked the changes to boats and other vehicles respecting bounding box integrity. Such vehicles can now almost always move, even if they are unable to turn, but will in such cases only move a short distance e.g. sideways. The net result should be that ships et al. are now much more responsive, even though they do still respect bounding boxes.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes) SKIPPED: General bug fix.
May finally have fixed a long-standing bug by which animals being tamed could despawn if they saved on the other side of a map grid border relative to the object they were hitched to. Much rejoicing!
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Tree -- (Key Fixes)
Took another look at leaves from trees, and normalized the number of leaves a leaf-bearing tree provides give somewhere around 25, i.e. about x5 from present. Mulberry leaves now have 8 uses, rather than 25, and present their remaining uses on the inventory icon.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Primitive Tent, Scent -- (Key Fixes)
Tents can now be folded with scents inside. Scents inside will be dumped to the overworld where the tent stood if you do.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) SKIPPED: General gfx update/fix.
"Juniper" trees now visually show berries when it has them. Also has a unique graphical representation when dropped.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) SKIPPED: General menu organization change.
Subdivided the "Meath Dishes" crafting recipe menu by moving all recipes requiring animal specific cuts of meat to a submenu "Signature Dishes".
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Salt Crystal -- (Small Fixes)
2x:ed the effect of "Salt Crystals".
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) SKIPPED: General bug fix.

Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) SKIPPED: General bug fix.
Swamp Fever should now present its debuff accurately, i.e. debuffing Int.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes) SKIPPED: General bug fix.
Fixed a bug with some alpha transparent pixels in the "Graywacke" paving.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Tidepool -- (Small Fixes)
Added a map icon for "Tidepool"s.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Reeds -- (Small Fixes)
You can now mass harvest "Reed"s, by Shift-Clicking them.
Juniper Buoy	2022-09-18	Liver & Onions -- (Small Fixes)
Buffed "Liver & Onions".

Winter Garden (2022-09-20)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Winter Garden	2022-09-20	Snow, Whirling Snowflake, Weather -- (New Implementations)
Added snow. It now snows during winter. Not that many effects yet, except whirling snowflakes are more common during it. Aesthetics!
Winter Garden	2022-09-20	Greenhouse -- (New Implementations)
Added "Greenhouse", building. You can grow crops in a Greenhouse, even during winter, but each replanting requires you to first apply mulch to the ground. For now, you can't build Trellises in them, but we hope to fix that down the line.
Winter Garden	2022-09-20	Midge Swarm -- (Key Fixes)
Midges should no longer spawn when it rains.

Burying Roe (2022-10-02)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (New Implementations)
Added "Roe Deer", a type of deer. Males with horns, and females without. Spawn in forests, and some grasslands.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (New Implementations)
Added "Burying the Dead", quest. Whenever you inherit, you will begin with a quest to bury the bones (skull/body/the whole) of your immediate ancestor, and you will have quest arrows pointing in their direction.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Hopefully fixed the longstanding problem that it was impossible to click meshes below water surfaces. This can cause some strangeness when clicking through multiple water surfaces (e.g. by a waterfall), but that seems like a fairly rare and perverse use case anyway, so this should generally be unproblematic. Let us know that it works!
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Nerfed "Go for the Jugular" by switching one of the opening it gives to not be self-reinforcing. Now gives 15% "Cornered" (red) and 10% "Reeling" (yellow) rather than 15% "Off Balance" (green), and 10% "Cornered". Nerfing was insisted upon by certain parties, but I truly do not know if needed, or good. Feel entirely free to talk me out of this and into other changes.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Fixed a bug by which the order of alchemical inputs could matter when determining the negative effects of elixirs. Keep an eye out for these types of bugs.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
"Silkworm Egg"s can now be used as fishing bait.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)

Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Pearls can now be used to gild rings.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Forgot to mention last week, but alchemy recipes now show the various bench tools (scales, retort, &c) required to make them.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Lack of strength no longer prevents you from building "Mine Pyre"s, but rather warns you about it.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
"Wilderness Skis" now use the Cape, rather than Backpack, slot, much like "Coracle"s and "Primitive Tent"s.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
"Reindeer" now give a cut of fat when butchered.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Mystic quests to do X-Y-Z "in the rain" should now count snow as well.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Increased the length of the window to do quest X-Y-Z "at dawn".
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
"Gilding Stone"s & "... Leaf"(ves) can now be used to gild both rings and garments.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)

Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
The loading interface for "Snekkja"s no longer says "Wagon".
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a small bug by which "Storm of Swords" could get confused when used at perverse distances, (think person in Knarr hitting Cachalot).
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a graphical bug with the "Greenhouse" not having a proper internal floor. Also reduced its bounding box ever so slightly to prevent it from checking tiles beyond its footprint when placing.
Burying Roe	2022-10-02	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Added some debug printing to hopefully catch the animal despawn bug in action.

Champignon Cave (2022-10-09)

Patch	Date	Pages -- Remark
Change
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (New Implementations)
Added "Lay Woodchips", terraforming. You can now use any woodblock to lay woodchip "paving" on a tile. For now, all woodchip tiles look the same, but, in theory, we could render woodchip textures with variable materials per woodblock type, and may do so if/when we add support for more tile types.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (New Implementations)
Added Champignons: Button Mushroom, Cremini Mushroom, and Portobello Mushroom. Champignons grow wild, in caves, and on certain forest and grass terrains, but can also be planted on woodchip tiles in caves. Depending on what stage you harvest the champignons in, they will produce buttons, creminis, or portobellos respectively.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Spent some time adding better support for placing effect meshes from animation-fx tracks. Could hopefully allow us to fix some problems with e.g. "Nemo's Helmet" bubbles having weird offsets if placed on walls or on the floor, but requires a client update, and hence not of any immediate significance.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Cleaned up the Siege Boost indicator in claims. <a href="https://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=73631" class="postlink">Reported here</a>. Also reduced the number of boost levels to 8, four transient, and four permanent, each representing a 0.5x increase in the siege timers required to siege the claim.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Went over the "Wandering Sage" credo, and adjusted its quests to be more in line with the recent changes to the "Mystic" credo.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
Porting a ship should now give no more Travel Weariness than traveling to your Hearth Fire, and the incentives to use meaningless travel alts should thus hopefully be reduced.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Key Fixes)
You may no longer have sparring combat relations parallell with real combat relations. Entering into real combat will terminate all sparring combat relations.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a small display bug with authority meters at very high values.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
"Liberty Caps" should now spawn in summer. Sorry abt that.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a bug by which it was not a crime to crack casting molds. Now vandalism.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a bug by which it was not a crime to split hides. Now theft.
Champignon Cave	2022-10-09	<No Pages> -- (Small Fixes)
Fixed a bug by which the ancestors (bless them) could still ask for dungeon keys due to not recalculating desires.
