Bandit squads used to "occupy" your town in spirit, even if they failed the assault, causing bugs and nuisances. Now they won't occupy the town if they are defeated first.

Improved some aggro/law based stuff:
Neutral "Military" NPCs no longer have legal immunity unless they are from a town resident faction
The act of enslaving now counts as a crime, but only when it's in the town of a faction that is anti-slavery. This means you can attack the slaver in self defence (at the right moment) without getting yourself in trouble. Town guards will stay out of it.
Slavers now have their own NPC type classification. Law enforcers will stay out of any conflicts involving slavers, instead of helping them (unless they are allies of course, like the United Cities). This doesn't mean you can just attack them unprovoked though.
Town guards will only attack slavers caught in the act if they are anti-slavery and the victim is an ally, otherwise they will not bother with it.
Slaver caravans won't take slaves from cages in towns that aren't slavery friendly
Removed Holy Nation patrol from Nothern Coast to stop them wiping out the fishing village

Update 0.98.55b (29 August 2018)

Changed again the tooltip display of the "cut to stun" to again try and make it easier to understand: with the previous update it wasn't clear if the stun was added or subtracted from the cut resistance. It now shows the total cut resistance like it did before the previous update, and also shows an "efficiency" percentage. eg. 80% cut resist efficiency will leave a 20% stun damage.
Samurai armour dexterity penalty removed but overall damage penalty increased to compensate, so blunt weapons don't get an advantage over swords for samurais
Samurai helmet now protects from dust storms
Assassins rags dexterity bonus reduced by 0.1
Added more stat penalties to the police helmet and reduced blunt resist slightly
A few more subtle stat tweaks, generally increased the gap slightly between the heavy, medium and light armours.
Fixed a typo in the gui code that was showing the wrong melee defence bonus in the armour tooltip (it showed the attack bonus instead)
Spread a few more armour items and blueprints around some of the shops. You can now find blueprints for a faction-neutral version of Holy Chest Plate and the Armoured Hood

"Self Preservation" AI should now react to charging enemies once they get close
Fixed horizon fog blending with clouds

Update 0.98.54 (29 August 2018)

GEAR REBALANCE PART 3

The idea now is that the light/medium armour guys should be able to do more harm and do well 1 on 1, and the heavy guys should handle being outnumbered better and overall last longer
This is a big shake-up for armour. It's un-tested, so I would appreciate feedback, any items that you think are over-powered or worthless.
Heavy armour has penalties to dexterity and attack skills. The idea is that it limits you to being a tank, your attack has been sacrificed a little for defence.
Medium armours are designed to be for generalists. Less protection than heavy but only mild skill penalties and so more tactical options.
Light and specialist armours are designed to be un-restrictive or even offer bonuses, suitable for rangers or glass-cannon melee ninjas and duelists
Armour can penalise dexterity and damage dealing
Changed the display of the armour stun damage stats in the armour tooltips to try and make it clearer to understand: it now shows 1 line for the final derived cut resistance, and a 2nd line for the incoming cut damage that gets converted into stun damage. Adding these 2 numbers together will get the total "cut resistance" number that it used to display before.
Increased shirt armour cut resist by 10%
Reduced plate armour stealth penalty so its still severe but not so total
The hiver shirts will be delayed because our artist went on holiday, and employment law says I have to let him.

FIXES

Some small tweaks to improve character movement bugs

2ND GEAR REBALANCE

Released prematurely because I needed to get the above bug-fixes out. I will continue tweaking and experimenting with the armour balances. Please leave feedback in the form of angry rants.
Toughness-based damage resistance amplified, so 20% more damage at 0 toughness and 20% less damage at max toughness
All shirt armour damage resistances reduced by 40%
Global damage decreased 10% to counterbalance the above 2 changes
All weapon armour penetration bonuses/penalties increased by 50%
Heavy armour coverage reductions from the last rebalance have been reverted
Chain and plate damage resistance increased by 0.05, leather lowered by the same amount, also further reduced based on weight class
Increased damage and armour piercing of the Heavy Polearm by 10%
katana class damage penalty vs robots reduced from 50% to 40%

Fixed bar beds being unusable

LOCALISATION

Portugese translation added
Japanese translation added

BLOOMIN’ ROBOT LIMBS!

when a limb goes below -100 damage, that limb gets amputated
lost legs means you have to crawl on the floor
Legs damaged past your KO point also makes you crawl on the floor, until they are bandaged.
robot limbs can be added or removed at a Skeleton Bed
robot limbs will affect your stats in various ways
If you are crawling around on the floor you can still fight really badly as long as you have at least 1 arm.
Your amputated limb goes flying through the air. Dogs will run off with it.
If your pet dog finds a limb he’ll get all defensive and keep running away with it until he finally eats it. Only happens with young dogs, so don’t worry he will grow out of it eventually.
Limb loss can be reduced or disabled in the options

FLIPPIN’ CROSSBOWS!

Crossbow shops dotted around the world
You need ammo too
Crossbows and ammo can be crafted in your base
Storages for crossbow parts and ammo

BLOOD!

Blooooood!
Blood gets sprayed on the ground
People get covered in blood
Blood pools grow around people who are bleeding out
Crawling and bleeding people leave a bloody slug trail behind them. So fun.

WORLD STATES

18 new beards and 17 new hairs added to the game. Credit goes to Arkhiel for generously donating them.
1 new male & 1 new female face
New hand-painted inventory item icons. Credit goes to Diogo Santos for making them.
Some roaming bandit squads will assault your base and attempt to capture it. If they win they will throw you out and live there themselves, use your stuff, eat all your food. You will have to remove them by force to get your base back.
HOLD button replaces the PASSIVE button. This puts characters into “hold position” mode. Stops your characters running off to fight, but now they still fight anything that comes in range. You can use this to position melee guys tactically, to protect your bow units for example, or guard a doorway. Also still serves its original purpose of keeping your weak workers away from combat.
When playing dead, you can switch to stealth mode and crawl around on the ground giving your buddies first aid or trying to escape without getting noticed
The travel shops now sell tent blueprints. These can protect you from acid rain when you are camping.
Slavers and Traders guilds have near 0 relations multiplier, so fighting them causes less relations loss but they assign bounties to you instead
Swearing filter is now removed from the game, but is still available in the options
Hivers now have proper face morphs for the character editor, they can have more variety now, go and give all your hivers plastic surgery cus they’re funny
When placing buildings, ramps can automatically change to the correct building for the snap target
Bandits now loot more food and take meat from downed animals, meaning they will eat your dog.
Idle characters now sit around on chairs in your home base. Looks nice, and is a handy way to keep track of who’s idle.
Using training equipment can now be set as a perma-job
Confirmation message added for when selling stolen items, to prevent accidents
New keybinds added for stuff in the “orders” panel
“Perception” stat added, affects accuracy with shooting in general
“Precision shooting” stat added, affects friendly fire chance
“Lockpicking” stat added, separated now from the “Thievery” stat, which now just covers stealing. This means that all your characters don’t end up inadvertently becoming specialised thieves as a result of escaping cages.
Thievery stat XP rate is doubled to compensate for the stat division. Lockpicking rate is the same.
“Crossbow smithing” stat added for crafting bows and ammo

SMALL CHANGES

A new AI sensory system change means that your squad now has to rely on line of sight, which should hopefully stop them running off over the hills to fight enemies
The Fog Islands have better natural resources, so it’s now a nice place to build. It’s lovely, you should move there.
You now get a combat XP bonus when a character fights outnumbered
Disguises don’t count as disguises unless they reach over 40%
Skimmers are less edible
The “strong” new recruits are now weaker, because thats the spirit of the game.
Chance of death default increased 20%. You guys aren’t dying enough.
You can now camp indoors in old buildings and ruins
Overall toughness XP rate reduced by 28%
Campfire is now automatic cooking
Animals age 2x slower
Robots and robotic limb damage is now healed instantly, but wear damage rate has been doubled, and first aid speed is 0.33x slower
Added Thievery Training box and a tier 3 lockpick training box. You need awkward materials to build them though
Animals stats are now reduced to 25% when you buy one. This is because animals grew into high stats by default, so they were overpowered because those high stats weren’t earned through combat, just time. Now they have to be trained up like everybody else. This doesn’t apply to strength and dex, so they still get big and strong naturally without training, just the skills need to be trained.SMALL THINGS
Added some improvements to prevent campaigns blaming you when they are defeated by a 3rd party on the way to your base
Made some adjustments to prevent passing bandit squads from constantly assaulting your town, though it still should happen often, it shouldn’t be so relentless now. Need your feedback for further adjustments.
Added a rain collector building
You can no longer attempt to pick locks that are beyond your skill level (if it’s less than 5% success chance
Lowered the lock lvl of ancient safes to compensate for the lockpick limits. Regular safes are still the same though
Attack can now be shift-clicked to make a permanent-job, which basically puts the character into an “attack enemies on sight” mode
Characters will now pickup items they need from the floor eg to find building materials or to fill a storage box
Wall termites- A check to see if you’ve sealed up your town with walls and no gates, it will destroy some of your walls (to prevent a lot of bugs that would happen, and because it’s cheating)
Added extra attack slots to large creatures so they can be hit by more attackers at once
Tweaked the AI senses, you should be able to fight large outpost towers 1 floor at a time, more or less, instead of being mobbed by the whole tower
NPCs relying on dialog events to attack you are now more alert because they can be triggered by sound
Rebalanced AI vision ranges. If the NPC is in the light and you are standing in darkness, he can’t see you. If he’s in the darkness and you’re in the light, you can be seen a mile away. If you are both in the darkness you can be seen, but only if you are kind of close.
You can now use the beds in ruins and bandit hideouts

ECONOMIC BALANCE

Weapons and armour are now almost quarter of the price. I think they were so expensive I never bought anything, just looted and stole, missing out on the joys of shopping.
Beefed up Armour King’s security, because you guys shouldn’t steal from him, the best armourer in the world, you should experience the joys of shopping.
Gear loot sell price penalty reduced a little to compensate for the cheaper prices
As a result of all the above, crafting gear is not so insanely profitable and riches are generally harder to come by
Animal skin is worth 8x more money, and makes 4x more leather. Hemp worth 2x more.
The prices of food have gone up 10% (because of Brexit)
Shops close 2hrs later
Stopped nearby towns having vastly different trade markups, trade profit margins are more distance based
Improved the shops available in the great desert area
Armour blueprints 50% more expensive
Chainmail sheets are less profitable
Beak Thing nests have more eggs, raiding them should be a profitable adventure

0.96.27 (10 October 2017)

Slightly reduced upper tier heavy armour resistance, to make the top tiers less overpowered
Regenerated world navmesh to speed up zone loading times
Improved navmesh splicing (whatever that means)

Added a special animal feeding barrel.

Misc

Some of the katana attacks now have reduced max-hits per attack, meaning they are less effective against groups. (Mainly the downward combo, but I also increased the power a little, this makes katanas more of a duelists weapon.)
Hive traders will sometimes visit your base
Doubled cost of animals
Shek slaves get their horns cut off
Lowered the price mark-up on illegal goods in the SW empire towns, the idea is that you only get the huge markups when you travel far east to the new empire regions
Fixed up the slave shipment chain- slaver caravans gather up slaves and deliver to work camps. "Freelance" hunters deliver them to the nearest slave shop.
Mounted turrets and lights repositioned when parent building is upgraded
Splinting now splints over blunt damage as well
Splinting can also apply to non-limbs, to help counter work quality penalties when crafting etc.
You now get back slightly more materials when you dismantle buildings, and the number has been added to the FCS global settings
Bodies don't disappear so fast when being eaten by spiders
Corpse flies sound integrated
Wind generator sound intensity based on rotation speed
Altered the player AI to choose nicer beds to sleep in
Unique NPCs that escape captivity can now travel all the way back home to resume their lives

0.96.5 (11 July 2017)

Fixed dropped items appearing on the floor above in buildings with low ceilings

Patch 0.95.27 (12 April 2017)

Slightly improved the weapons and armour for sale in Mongrel, added 2 new recruits there
Created the foundation systems of world state queries, which will be explained later in a blog post

FIXES

Fixed a crash in one of the southern waystations
Fixed weird case of buildings at outposts/ruins being assigned to nests and not populating the interiors
Though I couldn't confirm it, I had reports of Stealth skill acting weak when it goes above 100, so I clamped the internal calculations to 100 just to be sure
Fixed the AI bar squads again

Fixed a major crash

0.95.15 (8 March 2017)

Added an info panel in the FACTIONS screen that shows any contracts with NPCs you have, like for mercenary bodyguards
Added repeat option to the crafting queue
Added sleeping bags. You need to buy some of these, they can be used to create camp beds and are re-usable.
Camp beds now have half the healing rate bonus of normal beds. Healing rate now displayed in the GUI
Wandering squads should now go shopping and relax at the bar for a while when they arrive in a new town, they also prefer to wait until morning to head out again.

You can no longer bail out & recruit prisoners that hate you, or ones that are super strong.
Scorchlander strength changed to 0.9x, accounting for their slightly smaller build

Update 0.95.10 (12 January 2017)

FEATURES

Unlocked southern map section. New content and factions!
General performance improvement with Ogre 2.0
Smuggling is now a career option. Buy narcotics or illegal goods and sell them wherever they are illegal to make huge profits. (You'll have to find where to buy/sell them yourself).
Added narcotics production to the tech tree
Tweaked the camera limit so you can look upwards a little more
A messagebox now tells you what item caused you to get arrested for smuggling
Added some feedback arrows to stealth mode
Added options setting for displaying the floating damage numbers

COMBAT:

Unarmed combat added.
Added a block for "thrust" direction, so you can now block unarmed and animal attacks
Added dodging to the combat system. You dodge when unarmed, and it can also be used to break out of stun-lock states
Characters now have rear-direction block animations
Made block animation blending look a little nicer
Added a few more combat stance animations for different weapons
Armour can now have skill bonuses for unarmed, dodge, and fist damage.
Backpacks now negatively impact dodging
Characters can no longer attack with their broken arms, they have to resort to kicks or whatever they can do
Likewise if your sword arm is broken you can't block, so you'll have to resort to dodging
Defensive combat mode now applies the +20 bonus to dodging if you are unarmed

EFFECTS:

Tweaked the formula for character muscle visibility. Its no longer affected by strength (which now only affects bulk) or toughness. The idea is to make characters end up looking a bit different to each other based on their skills (as opposed to everyone just ending up big and muscular)
--the new formula is: max(dexterity, martialArts) * 3.f + (athletics + swimming) - (cooking + science);
It now gets wet when it rains.
Added sound effect for barefoot characters

GAME BALANCE:

Increased amount of food sold in bars
Added more slaves to the slave towns
Added the plastic surgeon to empire towns
Low-level slaves are a bit more likely to join you, others like captured bandits now a little less likely.
Encumbrance and other penalties have a slightly lower effect on move speed
Dismantling buildings now gives back some of the materials
Increased the amount of fog men, there's also a rare fog man swarm
Animals can now bash down your gates, no more raptors hanging around outside
Slaves are now valued by skills

WEATHER:

Characters now feel the weather.
Duststorms strongly affect visibility and hearing range, and prevent tracking by smell
Rain affects visibility and hearing range a small amount
Certain clothing can protect you from the elements. Goggles are good in dust storms.

Some fine-tuning for stealthy raids:

NPC hear range is halved when you are indoors and they are not (or vise-versa). Range is halved again if the door is closed
alarm range is halved, and gets halved again if you are indoors, and then halved again if the buildings door is closed
stealth knockouts take into account your visibility more, and you can't knockout someone if they are in combat unless they are totally unaware of you
Tweaked the follow AI for escaping slaves/prisoners so if you make a run for it they will keep up rather than stay behind trying to fight everyone
guards standing outside of a building will no longer keep the door open
shopkeepers won't talk to you if you are an enemy

CONSTRUCTION SET:

The construction set now has a "translation mode" for using to translate the dialogue
Automatically fills out duplicated translation lines (eg if there are 30 different lines that say "ok" then you only need to translate it once instead of 30 times)
Added translation stats to the construction set
added back the dialog export function for translations to use poedit

a certain fix for AI/pathfinding with walls

Reduced the "too close to town" build limit
Fixed a bug with the AI sometimes not acknowledging mines as a resource source

Update 0.93.28 (10th October 2016)

MORE THIEVERY REBALANCE:

Stealth sound overhaul. When sneaking, targets will sometimes hear you. The chance depends on distance and skill. A zero-skill character will be lucky if he can sneak around a shop without being detected. This gives more XP to compensate.
Stealing chances rebalanced
Town guards will investigate buildings that have their doors left open at night. They can recognise intruders.
You can no longer steal from your hired bodyguards if they get knocked out, they will now see it as a betrayal. IF they see it happen, that is.
FOOD OVERHAUL:

This is the result of some extensive testing, to further balance the hunger system in the way originally intended
hunger time is doubled again. It takes almost twice as long to get hungry.
food nutritional quality is halved, but also food cost is halved too. Remember the yellow and red states are supposed to be starvation, your ribs are showing, you shouldn't be able to fully recover from malnutrition with just 1 meal.
So, technically speaking, those 2 above result in the same amount of eating and costs, its just stretched over a slower timeframe now.
Food is no longer a trade good, so you only get 50% of its value when you sell it. Bread won't make you rich anymore. This will double-up as a plot point with the Trader's Guild later on. The cash crop will be drugs and alcohol.
ECONOMIC BALANCING

Over the last few years the economy of Kenshi has seen some inflation so I've re-balanced it a little
Recruits cost a lot more to hire, it's not so easy to rapidly get a bigger squad early on.
Cost of books is doubled
Bounty amounts for crimes are roughly doubled
You can no longer sell armour that is part of another factions uniform
Cooking food speed is x3, but ingredient cost is x8. Now the focus is less on waiting around for cooking, and more on running farms and protecting your crops until harvest time.
Properly added the research and crafting for the 3 main alcoholic drinks. These are the new cash crop as food was made less profitable in the last update.
Chainmail is 50% heavier
WEAPONS
Tons of new weapons! The number has doubled. More interesting blunt and hacking weapons, polearms added, blunt skill unlocked, old ones overhauled visually. Rare and unusual weapons to find.
Weapon types have more characteristics and stats have been rebalanced. Weapons can have advantages or penalies when used indoors, and bonus damage against certain opponents or animals.
Characters will automatically switch to their side-arm weapon when indoors, if it has less of an indoors penalty than their main weapon.
SMITHING OVERHAUL
Crafted weapon quality is limited by character skill
Crafted armour quality is entirely dictated by character skill (no need for further research)
Crafting has a critical success chance, if character is skillful there is a chance the final item will be one grade higher.
material costs and craft time vary by weapon type
Crafted gear is now "imprinted" with the name of the smith
Scattered appropriate weapon blueprints around the world
MISC FEATURES:
Performance boost! I measured an average 5-10 fps increase. This is not the main Ogre 2.0 performance update, that comes later.
Added a simple thieves/assassins guild
You can now stealth-knockout sleeping NPCs
Bounties are now assigned by factions. Committing a crime in the Holy Nation won't make you a criminal in the Empire or Shek Kingdom.
Tuned the "spawn" distributions. Should reduce the situations where you defeated a bandit or animal squad and then more and more kept coming to fill the population vacuum.
Also implemented a mild co-existence system, so small time villages don't get instantly wiped out by their dangerous evironment eg the BeakThing-Hiver wars
When your character gets sucked dry by a vampiric creature and dies, it leaves behind all his gear and clothes, just sitting there empty where once was your beloved character.
You can no longer sell a fence back their own items that you stole from them
Athletics XP rate reduced by 25%
Labouring skill XP rate increased 50%
Inventory interface subtly tuned to be a little nicer to use
Weapon prices doubled to match up with the armour prices
Added more treasure 'n stuff
Using equipment/ dummies in npc owned buildings is now illegal. You need to join the thieves guild if you want to use training equipment.
Some small tweaks to Scorchlanders
Added low-tiers to higher level weapon benches, just so its less confusing when you don't have any high level options available to craft there
Tiny additional map content update. Added some simple tips to the mechanical shop keepers dialog.
The AI now knows when it is in a chase, and should give up properly when they lose sight of you.
Food ingredients are now shown in the item tooltip and crafting window

Update 0.93.21 (06th September 2016) [Experimental Branch - Galaxy Only]

Stealth sound overhaul. When sneaking, targets will sometimes hear you. The chance depends on distance and skill. A zero-skill character will be lucky if he can sneak around a shop without being detected. This gives more XP to compensate.
Stealing chances rebalanced
Town guards will investigate buildings that have their doors left open at night. They can recognise intruders.
You can no longer steal from your hired bodyguards if they get knocked out, they will now see it as a betrayal. IF they see it happen, that is.

FIXES:

Dogs shouldn't go to sleep right next to your body after knocking you out anymore
Fixed hired bodyguards not healing your guys
Fixed an AI bug with crafting bench hauling

Patch 0.93.21 (5 September 2016)

The last update nerfed the stolen goods sell values too strongly (15%), they've been increased to 50%. I wanted to fix this before the weekend, because it ruined thievery.

Update 0.93.20 (29 August 2016)

FIXES

Fixed characters not getting up off the ground

Main features added since 0.93.4:

Heat haze effect
Looting law changes
Thievery rebalance
