• Added two new equipment slots: "Shoulders" & "Mask" (names could be debated). Wings (Bee/Ant Queen, Hussar Wings) now consistently occupy the "Shoulders" slot, leaving them uncontroversially compatible with backpacks and capes. "Coracle"s now also occupy the "Shoulders" slot, avoiding conflicts with capes and backpacks. Masks (e.g. "Goat Mask", "Boreworm Mask", "Jack-o'-Mask") now go in the "Mask" slot, leaving them compatible with e.g. pipes and spectacles.
  
• Added "Primitive Sled". A simple sled for pulling cargo overland. The sled can be carried on your back if empty, or pulled behind you if loaded. Do note, as with Corcacles, that variable materials on the sled won't be properly represented while carried on your back, fix pending. The "Primitive Sled", if carried as equipment, sits in the "Shoulders" slot. The "Primitive Sled" can pull two pieces of cargo. Slaem & Hearth confirmed!
  
• Added "Silk Backpack", expands your inventory by 3 columns, rather than the 2 of the leather backpack.
  
• Added "Rope Belt", a simple toolbelt made from rope.
  
• Added "Feather Tassel", gilding made from "Feather".
  
• Added "Bushmeat Strips", simple meat recipe.
  
• Added "Wound Glue", bushcraft medicine treating "Cruel Incision", "Fell Slash", and "Nasty Laceration".

• Inventory extending pieces of equipment can now, quite simply, be uneuipped, even if doing so would leave your inventory overloaded. While you have items in unequipped inventory slots, you will have the "Overloaded" debuff. The "Overloaded" debuff will, periodically, attempt to move items into your inventory, or, failing that, drop them to ground. The "Overloaded" debuff will not take effect if you are knocked out, or dead. Happy to take input on this, as it may be at least somewhat controversial.

• Fixed a small problem which prevented one player from adding curiosities to another, logged off, player's study table.

$7 This hat saw a strange flash from the local power plant illuminate the night, and has felt glowing ever since!

• We hope you have been enjoying the new World 16.1 we launched last week, and are grateful for all the support and kind words we have gotten on account of it!
  
• We will be announcing a Christmas stream sometime next week, and aim to push a small Christmas patch while doing it. (Re)post your favorite complaints and we'll see if we can't address some of them!
  
• Our primary development direction is toward object-controlled-objects.
  
• Time to... like us on Facebook[www.facebook.com]?
  
• Time to... follow us on Twitter?

• Tonight we launch a new world, W16.1, with the unusual twist that we are not resetting the running W16, as first announced here[www.havenandhearth.com]!
  
• Both Worlds will run concurrently until further notice.
  
• The choice on which world to play will be made with the Wizard during character creation.
  
• We have made no changes which should impair custom clients.
  
• This post contains an updated, non-exhaustive, change log. Much has been left to the joy of discovery.

• All store hats given as rewards for subscriptions have been replaced. Anyone who purchased a subscription between the World 16.1 announcement[www.havenandhearth.com], and the time we took the store down for refurbishing, will have received both the old and new hats relevant for his or her particular subscription level.
  
• As per the standard from World 14, higher subscription tiers give, apart from the hat unlocked with the tier, all hats belonging to the lower tiers.
  
• Three additional hats have been added to the store! Thank you for your consideration!

• New Gilding System
  
  • Gildings have been reworked to emphasize churning Gildings, more so than the gear you are gilding. The intention is to buff higher tier equipment.
    
  • Pieces of gear have a predefined number of gilding slots from the start.
    
  • If a gilding roll is successful, you will slot the gilding into the piece of gear without consuming a slot.
    
  • If a gilding roll fails, you have an additional roll to "rescue" the gilding. If the rescue roll is successful, you will slot the gilding into the piece of gear, but consume a slot on it.
    
  • The chance to succeed with a rescue roll is 1 / (NumberOfSlotsRemaining + PiecesOfGildingOnTheItem).
    
  • If the rescue roll fails, both a slot in the gear, and the gilding piece, are consumed.
• Visitor Gates
  
  • Non-visitor gates for siege significant wall types (Palisade, Brickwall) have been removed, and all gates in such walls will now be visitor gates.
    
  • No gates will therefore any longer be visually distinguished with the red flags traditionally indicating a visitor gate, as the distinction will no longer be made.
    
  • All siege significant gates will, thus, confer the visitor debuff.
    
  • By default, you are able to pass through (visitor) gates while in combat.
• Thingwall Travel has been modified. Joy of discovery!
  
• The swirly-leaf speed boosts on the map are now always visible to everyone, but are only half as common.
  
• Time moves strangely in W16.1.

• Gilding actions have a new and more communicative UI.
  
• Implemented a hopefully graceful rate limit to mounting mounts (e.g. boats, horses, chairs, &c) to avoid various shenanigans.
  
• Spitroasting now requires a sharp tool.
  
• "Coin Press"es now require only Hard metal, rather than Steel.

• Many of you have decided to use the store since we announced World 16.1, and we are very grateful for this. Thank you for supporting us, and the game.
  
• 2025 could have been a lot better development wise. We are hopeful for 2026.
  
• Object-Controlled-Objects remains the primary development goal.
  
• I may update this post with answers to question that may come up, and edits for clarity, or whatever.
