[Game Update] - 679435

Update Information:

Hey guys, here is the first update with some of the changes we are working on for part 2 of the Hostile Takeover update.  This one took a bit longer because we had to go through every single creature to add their shock states.  More to come soon!

Additions

• Added shock states to all creatures with the following exceptions:
  • Machine (but not Clockworks), rock, and cookie based creatures are immune to electric damage and shock.
  • Plant based creatures take electric damage, do not have a shock state, and are set on fire when electrocuted.
  • Shadows, gestalts, and ghosts take electric damage, but do not have a shock state.
• Electric attacks have a chance to chain to nearby creatures (shock effect only, not damage).
• Lightning strikes will now shock and damage enemies that are able to be electrocuted.
• Added Electric Fence Post item.
  • Triggers a minor shock which has no damage and does not set plant based creatures on fire.
  • Currently, the blueprint is dropped by Scrappy Werepig, but we may change how it is obtained later.
• Added more Research Notes to get from Wagstaff.

Quality of Life

• Rendering optimizations for Lunar hail, Celestial Scion’s ground attack effects, and Winona’s Shadow Planar Strike.
• Terramite electric beams no longer block mouseovers.
• Placement of the drones for the W.A.R.B.O.T. fight now snap to their placement locations.
• Boat placement is no longer blocked by items and birds.  Items will be pushed away, and Puffins will fly away.

Changes

• Buzzards will now fly away when taking fire damage.
• Notional Fabricator now starts with a recipe to make Astroggles and Incomplete Experiment Blueprints.
• Post Celestial Scion
  • Notional Fabricator gets Wagstaff's private stash of blueprints.
  • Lunar mutated bosses will now drop ingredients for creating Spark Arks.
• Updated Celestial Champion so it can’t be frozen like its Celestial Scion phase.
