-=- Weapons -=-
• Slingshot changed-- No longer has durability. Draws faster. Uses energy and has a unique special: Triple Shot. Recipe adjusted
• 'Energy Per Shot' labels in tooltips should be more accurate
• Changed the sounds of some staves
• The bleeding status effect inflicted by shivs no longer has a 'spurt' mechanic-- it's that thing that causes a relatively large chunk of instant damage. I'm sorry to anyone that was planning on breaking the 20 second world-record for killing the Swansong by making it bleed to death.
• Fire Sword can no longer spawn dyed. However, it is still manually dyeable
• Disabled alt images for Fire/Water Swords
• Fire Sword now provides light
• Water Sword now has swoosh sounds AND bubble sounds instead of just the latter
• Procedurally generated swords now use elemental sfx when swung

-=- Crafting -=-
• Vanilla foods now show when filtering by buffs.

-=- Misc -=-
• Changed the inventory icon of the Lectern as some people mistook it for a quest item

SUMMARY:
• Pretty much every Betabound recipe moved to vanilla crafting stations.
• To make Betabound more user-friendly, redundant beta crafting stations have been phased out (ie: iron anvil being able to craft items that the vanilla anvil can't for some reason). This is to reduce the amount of crafting stations and to make Betabound's content more accessible.

-=- New -=-
• Added an iron pickaxe

-=- Removed -=-
• Yeah, yeah, Betabound, removing stuff? Hersey!
• Disabled the tutorial questline which guides the player towards crafting a Distress Beacon

• Disabled redundant crafting stations

-=- Misc -=-
• Changed the colors of the new microformers from the last update (Crystalline, Crystal Caves, Rust, Coral Caves...)
• Eye Guards can sometimes drop their swords. They can also use Eye Swords
• Added a stripe to the platinum pickaxe icon's handle to differentiate it from the silver pickaxe icon-- and because the other platinum pickaxe images feature a stripe. In order to maintain the balance of the universe, the newly introduced iron pickaxe looks quite similar to the silver pickaxe.
• Stone Axe is now two-handed
• Adjusted the price of the replacement Matter Manipulator-- It's now 100 pixels instead of 1,000
• Adjusted the prices of racial weapons/armor

• Changed the prices of some tools (stone axe, stone hoe, chainsaw)
• Slightly adjusted the stone axe icon to make it more distinct from the new iron axe's icon
Dual-wielding an ammo-gun and ammo prioritizes the selected ammo. It's like how you can put a stack of arrows in your offhand in Minecraft to shoot those arrows instead of whatever you'd shoot instead
