• The 'slow flame' projectile for guns has been replaced with-- and you're never gonna believe this-- 'FAST flame'!
• Change Plasma Shuriken to be more like the other shurikens/throwing stars
• Guns that use ammo now display the amount of the currently loaded ammo, rather than the total amount of all stacks of ammo in your inventory. If you have multiple stacks, a plus will appear after the ammo count. If your current stack of ammo is larger than 9999, a golden plus appears. Also, the ammo counter has a grey border
• Changed the 'this gun can use ammo' tooltip message in gun tooltips to be more obvious

• Changed Sprint's description; no longer implies that the only body techs are dashes
• Sprint no longer prevents other movement abilities, such as double jumps or rocket boots
• Sprint no longer momentarily resets your velocity

• Flash Freeze now prioritizes whichever max stack value (item's or default) is higher when adjusting max stack

• Changed the text of Fluffalo Feeds to put emphasis on the whole "instantly matures them" thing
• Various minor QOL improvements to certain held items, like blueprints, tech unlocks, ship enhancements, etc

- Removals
• Removed blue/green/orange/yellow glow fibres; they served no purpose other than to be crafted into standard glow fibre. Any existing copies of these items will automatically be transformed into standard glow fibre
• Removed Critter Capture and Transport Pods as their roles are already filled by existing vanilla items: the Relocator and Pet Tether. The Transport Pods were originally meant for a unique pet leveling mechanic which I no longer intend to implement for Betabound. Besides, pets scale with your armor and they can use collars. Existing Critter/Transport pods will be converted to capture pods and can release their captured creature, though empty pods will be converted to vanilla capture pods.
• Capture Pods are no longer printable at the Portable Pixel Printer
• Remove Spicy Tomato Soup because it is too similar to Chilli Stew

- Misc
• For users of the Growing Trays mod, kelp and seaweed are now acceptable fertilizers
• Monsters that spawn in the Coral Cave biome are now immune to lava
• Peanut Butter Jars are now classified as a condiment rather than a dessert
• Capture Pods and Pet Tethers are now of rare rarity rather than common
• Canned Meatballs price raised from 20 to 75; Canned Food price increased from 40 to 125. (Note that the canned food change will only take affect if it is not already changed by the time Betabound loads)
• Scribe's Desk now has 24 slots, up from 16
• Increase Box of Chocolates price and rarity
• Fungal Stim now regenerates 300% health rather than 200%
• Decrease tech unlock item price
• New space station control panel icon. Interface also shows gravity as a numeric value
• Racial tech stations are now racial tech binding stations. Removed tech equipping functionality; kept binding functionality
• "Help! I need somebody!" quest now gives you a tech binding station which matches your race. If no such station exists, you get a human one.
• Elliot's tech dispenser sells tech binding and tech development stations regardless if you've completed any quests
• Vault Keys have a price
• Vault Key Trader now accepts 10 leather as a trade. C'mon, it's in the `monsterdrops` folder. Leaving it out is just unfair to leather!
• Many foods buffs and/or duration changed
• Red Apples can now spawn as produce
• If Story Disabler is installed, skip having SAIL tell the player about unlocked quests based on their story progress
• The Glitch Mercenary at the outpost no longer misgenders their friend
• Redundant coffee machine object removed (automatically transforms into vanilla coffee machine; break and re-place it). Functionality moved to vanilla counterpart. Recipes work with mods that change how the coffee machine works (FU, CN More Farming)

-=- Recipes -=-
- Changes
• Cupid's Bow now requires durasteel, since it's T4... and made from a T1 bow, at a T1 station
• Fungal Stim now requires plant fibre
• Betabound's T6 furnace materials now require plutonium instead of gold
• Transmutation recipes for T5 ores now use platinum rather than gold• Blank Blueprints are no longer craftable at the Iron Tool Table; they are now only available at refineries and upgraded spinning wheels
• Iron Axe is now exclusively crafted at a Foraging Table
• Portable Pixel Printer recipe adjusted
• Metalworking/Compounding Upgrades now exclusively at Inventor's Tables
• Mining tools, weapon upgrades, and ship enhancements now have their own tabs in the tool table interface
• Cerulium Compound now requires a gold bar to craft
• The amount of secondary materials used in crafting biome weapons have changed
• Scarecrow now craftable at furniture table; plant fibre requirement changed from 40 to 10 because 80 total fibre is ridiclous for an object which confers no benefit
• Mannequin now craftable at T1 spinning wheel. I made it craftable at the T1 furniture table, and it uses copper so it's a T1 item. No reason for an inexpensive glorified wooden chest to be locked behind T3

- Removals
• Remove 'slime hand grapple from only slime' recipe; adjusted 'slime hand grapple from slime and rope' recipe
• Remove 'yellow stimpack from toxic waste,' 'green stimpack from bio sample,' 'antidote from bio sample,' and 'antidote from poison creep' recipes
• Removed upgrade module recipes for Halogen and Xenon packs
• Halogen Pack now uses titanium bars rather than durasteel, so now we have a T3 and a T4 light pack instead of two T4 packs!
• Remove pixel requirement for several Heart Forge items, and the Heart Forge itself


-=- Bug Fixes -=-
• From a hotfix on 3/SEP/2023: Combinable Augments fix for Energy Regeneration Augments
• From a hotfix on 4/SEP/2023: Hunting Knife fix

• Vanilla bug fix: vending machine count widgets are now clickable

! Move randomgen guns to their subfolders
! Move bone guns out of randomgen folder
• Crossbows now have a definition
• Preserved food now keep their original internal item ID, in case they need to be referenced later. Only applies to newly created preserved foods

Many items in `/items/active/starbound/` have been moved to their own subfolders. `buffs`, `gps`, `hawkeyes`, `healthmonitor`, `ladderdeployer`, `portable3dprinter` (moved from `/items/generic/unlock/`, I think?
