(not released yet; we're still working on it!)

Fixed an outdoor boss room that was too long, and was throwing errors.
- Thanks to vadatajs and GauHelldragon for reporting this.

Five new really cool, really different staircases added.
- Thanks to vadatajs for these.

Mossy Barrel death shrapnel strength-per-shrapnel from 8 => 2.
- Thanks to Moonshine Fox for showing us what a raging fox looks like after receiving 600+ damage from a barrel it could not see.

Small typos fixed in two of the mystery clues.
- Thanks to jruderman and lavacamorada for reporting.

There's now a "Build Farms" item on the things-you-should-do list if the continent's food production is less than the settlement's food usage.
- Thanks to Ipkins for the suggestion.

Extended the apply-conditions-to-target logic to affect all parts of a multipart target entity.
- This logic is used for stuff like the bear trap slowing effect, spells with debuffs-applied-to-target, etc.
- So this fixes problems like urban mechs not being slowed down by bear traps because the "leg" part did the hitting (the body actually does the movement, in code terms).
- Thanks to Pyrrhic for reporting the bear trap vs multipart-entity problem.

Bear Traps now cause affected targets to instantly stop rather than just killing their acceleration.
- Thanks to Pyrrhic for the suggestion.

Command Flare spellgems can no longer be incinerated (they were free at certain missions, making it kind of silly that they could be burned for shards).
- Thanks to jruderman for the report.

Fixed a longstanding bug where building a new windshelter was not always recomputing all the distance-into-windstorm variables, causing it not to update properly.
- Thanks to jruderman for the report.

Fixed a bug where the clinging fetor projectile's strength was not being set when cast, and thus the damage calculation was following another code path and generally doing around 1 damage.
- Thanks to Misery for the report.

Fixed a bug with the citybuilding-difficulty-based scaling of the danger/difficulty of dispatch missions: those values were supposed to be _multiplied_ by 2 on Empire difficulty. Instead, Empire was _setting_ them to 2. Thus making them trivially easy for anyone, basically.
- Thanks to Ulrox for the report.

Fixed a bug in computing dispatch mission survival chance where the mood points where an intermediate result of mood/danger was being squared. This was fine for positive mood values as the idea was that if the ratio was 9:10 the actual result would be 0.9*0.9 = 0.81. The problem is that -0.9*-0.9 = +0.81, too (math class strike back!). Now it won't go below zero before that, so squaring is fine.
- Thanks to Ulrox for the report.
