- Added a Mod Settings menu; now Mechaphobic pawns can be set to only fear hostile mechs. Not friendly ones. This is so you can still have Faun Mechanitors if you wish!

- Removed 'Nature Connection Offset' stat from pawns. This is a stat that only apparel should have.
- 'Nature Connection Offset' now displays correctly on apparel.
- Removed faulty patch for Alpha Genes.

• All Nature Connection related genes now have their own category.
• Natural Connection Gene has been split into 2 Genes:

• Boosts Natural Connection stat by up to +100 depending on the amount of plants in a
5-tile radius. Trees boost the stat much more than plants.
• Natural Connection is increased when Fae items from Roo’s Satyrs and Fauns Expanded are equipped.
• Natural Connection is reduced when near chopped down trees.
• Natural Connection is reduced when Mechanitor / terrain-destroying apparel / weapons are equipped, such as incendiary launchers.
• -1 Metabolic Efficiency.

• Passively grows plants around the pawn, scaling with their Natural Connection Stat.
• Nearby tiles are selected at random, then checked for plants to grow. This means that you can’t just put your pawn next to one really hard-to-grow plant and they will channel all of their growing aura on it. Plant growth will always be evenly distributed.
• -1 Metabolic Efficiency.

• Pawns with this gene may freeze up and faint if near a mechanoid, allied or hostile. This can be helpful, as mechanoids won’t target a downed pawn. However, if you want a mechanitor colony of your own…
• +4 Metabolic Efficiency

• Also known as ‘fainting goat syndrome’. Pawns will become automatically downed near anything scary, such as mechanoids, fire or hostile pawns.
• They will also squeak like a rubber ducky when they do.
• +8 Metabolic Efficiency

• Pawn spawns a magic mushroom cloud, giving allies inside its AOE a mood buff, and enemies a sight, hearing and mood debuff.
• Range and AOE size scale with Natural Connection Stat.
• -1 Metabolic Efficiency

• Pawn can instantly teleport to a nearby tree.
• Pawn must have over 60% Nature Connection to cast.
• Range scales with Natural Connection Stat.
• -1 Metabolic Efficiency

• Faun Xenotype has been reworked:
• Given the Mechaphobia gene.
• Given the Growing Aura gene (still have the Nature Connection gene).
• Given the Spore Cloud gene.
• Given the Tree Skip gene.
• Removed Poor Shooting Aptitude.
• Changed Aptitude in Melee from Terrible to Poor.

• Reclusive pawns are no longer less likely to romance none-reclusive pawns.

• Metabolic Complexity is now 0.
• Makes pawns much less accurate up close, but much better from afar.

• Metabolic Efficiency has been changed from -1 to -2.
• -0.25 Stagger Duration Factor has been removed.
• 0.20 Move Speed has been changed to 0.10 (For reference, the Fast Runner gene gives 0.20).
• Melee Dodge Chance has been changed from 5 to 10. (For reference, the Nimble trait adds +15)
• Filth Rate has been changed from 1.5 to 3. (For reference, a baseliner has a filth rate of 1, a goat has a filth rate of 8 and a cow has a filth rate of 16.)
• Tattoos were previously not visible on pawns with the Unguligrade Legs Gene. This has been fixed. Now your pawns can be inked up and covered in fur at the same time!
• Removed the functionality to turn unguligrade legs into individual HeDiffs / body parts with VE. We were having too many incompatibility issues with it and other mods, so decided to remove it for now.

• Having the Pollution Rush gene reduces the pawn’s Nature Connection by 50.
• VE Phytokin compatibility has been added: the Gauranlen Affinity, Anima Affinity, Pollux Affinity, Photosynthesis and Sapling Birth genes all boost Nature Connection. Now you can have an OP Phytofaun run your growing zones!
• Harvest yield no longer scales with Nature Connection.

• The gene and ability were interchangeably known as Chokevine Grip and Chokevine Grasp. It’s now consistently called Chokevine Grasp.
• The initial range of Chokevine Grasp has been increased from 5 to 8.

• The amazing Zelan has totally reworked the Natural Connection and Growing Aura code to make them much more efficient and less taxing on performance. Now caravans of fauns can visit your colony and buff your growing zones without slowdown!
• Natural Connection now has a range of 5 tiles to reduce performance hit.

• Added compatibility with the Genetic Natural Focus Mod, giving all fauns the gene.
• Fixed Pawn Namers. Now starting colonists will always have a first and second name. Sometimes, they didn’t before.
• Reworked the faun pawn spawning criteria, balancing out the difficulty more and ensuring that it takes less tries to generate a pawn.
• General XML has been cleaned up.
• A few mod compatibilities have been removed or tweaked a little.
• Text throughout the mod has been made clearer as to what each gene does.
• Improved backstory crossover between minotaur, satyr and faun xenotypes.
• Added a few more forced traits when Vanilla Traits Expanded is installed.
• Fixed mistakes in multiple backstories and reworded some for clarity.

• Visiting fauns now spawn with food in their inventories and will no longer steal yours.
• Unguligrade legs are no longer counted as prosthetics.

• Horizontal pupils now have 0 complexity.

• Horizontal pupils no longer nerf short-ranged accuracy as cripplingly.
