This update ends the 5.3.9 cycle, and begins the 5.4 series for FU. Thanks for stickiing around for all the new features!


* Extractor and Centrifuge recipes have been moved to an external config file so other mods can easily make themselves compatible should they desire

* new Katana: Diamond, Densinium, Pyreite, Irradium, Solarium
* katanas are more katana-y (you'll see...)

* quarterstaves should do the appropriate damage type when generated as element types
* quarterstaff damageAreas adjusted

Bugs
------------------------------------
* miscategorized weapon displays corrected
* you no longer need cryonic extract to make snowberry
* well code adjustments (cat2002)
* PGI in chests fixed (The Observer)


New
-------------------------------------
* apiaries now function on space stations at all hours
* Microparticle Brush, a new top-of-the-line excavation tool for you fossil hunters!
* three new mech arms (unlocked with Adv. Circuit) (Vinnie/Omega)
* burrowers should be more properly spread around, relocated to appropriate biomes, etc. You'll also find some new breeds! (Monijir)

Combat
-----------------------------------
* When using shields, if you are below 20% Energy and your shield breaks you have a roughly 50% chance to become stunned. When not below 20% energy, there is a 1% chance for this to happen. This should balance out the recent shield changes.

* Crits now apply a simple , slight red flash rather than a bright orange "Crit+" notice. Much less obvious, but that's the point. The damage numbers are cue enough.

* Hammers, Greataxes and Quarterstaves can now have stun modifiers applied in their item files.

* quietus katana dropped to 6-hit combo from 8


Cosmic Crucible Upgrading
--------------------------------------
* you should now be able to properly upgrade all katanas in the Cosmic Crucible

* upgraded shields now increase their Shield Bash chances as well as their Shield Bash knockback distance

* upgraded hammers, greataxes and quarterstaves now increase their Stun chance when scoring crits



Burrowers
-----------------
* added densinium burrower
* tweaked burrower resistances across the board

should fix ranged weapons

crit-ical update:

* when scoring a crit with a Hammer, Greataxe or Quarterstaff you have a 1% chance to stun the opponent momentarily. This makes them a more viable weapon choice. Furthermore, some hammers will have increased chance to stun, and soon some armors and equipment will, too!

* corrected the Samurai set bonus

* buffs changed for brewed coffee

* New mobs: Frostop and Firetop. Should be fairly obvious as to the sorts of places they might live.

* critical fix: some math errors on crits that were causing some ansty side-effects (to the benefit of players.) you'll see a *lot* less frequent crits now, more inline with their intended rate (finally!)

* slush tile effect now gets resistsed by immunity to ice slipping, rather than its own immunity.

* xax wing now grants immunity to Grav Rain (in addition to its levitation buff)

* corrected an error where vorit was missing a note that it also provided oxygen.

* moar weapon collections! (shadow_absorber)

Shields - New Ability
-----------------
* All shields now have a chance to "shield bash". This stat varies from shield to shield. FR races will get bonuses or penalties to this value, if you also use that mod.
* When you have 50% or greater energy, you have a chance to knock back the enemy and do a small amount of damage [ (health / 50) + (energy / 50) ] .
* When you execute a Perfect Block your chance at a shield bash doubles, your knockback distance increases and your bashes have a small chance to Stun the enemy.

- Monsters gained a bit more health per tier to scale better with player damage dealt, and to make crits more valuable

- shields are more effective per tier

- fixed a bug with samurai armor

5.3.9 cycle begins


* new weapon type: Katana
* added Iron, Tungsten, Titanium, Durasteel, Zerchesium, Coral, Lunari, Isogen, Quietus and Adv. Alloy Katanas.
