Notes for Modders

• The mod release ID for this patch is R33_QOL_SPRINGCLEANING.
• SetOnHealFn was added for the healer component.

• The bat prefab OnIsAcidRaining has moved into a new component acidinfusible and is fully deprecated.
• Minimap atlas handling has been changed to support two atlases from the base game; the original minimap atlas will handle all old mods. You are encouraged to use GetMinimapAtlas if you need to access the base game atlases directly as seen in bootleg. This change will be seamless in other use cases.
• Scrapbook entries typo fix “picakble” is now “pickable”.
• Fonts are now safe to use TheSim:LoadFont multiple times it is advised to add your font to the GLOBAL.FONTS table with table.insert and call AddSimPostInit(GLOBAL.LoadFonts) with the appropriate Assets table definition in modmain to have your font asset loaded.
