Patch notes/Horizon/1.3.0

#1.3.0:1
This update cleans up and moves the old production system into the new assignment system. It also polishes and expands the Cargo Bot 1-X system.

#1.3.0:2
Vendor stalls are reorganized and require a progression now. They are MUCH cheaper to build Tier-1 and Tier-2 stalls now, but there is a limit to how many of those you can build in a period of time. Once your Tier-2 vendors gain enough income, you can use that income to build Tier-3 stalls. This allows you to place Tier-2 vendor stalls without feeling like you're wasting materials since you eventually want Tier-3.

#1.3.0:3
Pipe Turrets are expanded to 4 grades, and are aimed at being the "go to" turret for quick setup.

#1.3.0:4
Ballistic Weaves can be acquired with or without the Railroad unlock. Settlers can help you craft weaves if you lack the skill to do it yourself.

#1.3.0:5
A major overhaul of the Weapon Pack was done, along with a lot of other weapon changes.

#1.3.0:6
This patch also introduces the alpha version of Horizon's hardcore mode. You don't have to restart your game to add it on, simply select it when you install. And if you do want to restart, the very begining of the game is not really any different, so you could always just load any early Horizon save, if you wish to save yourself the hassle of recreating the character again.

#1.3.0:7
There's a lot of changes in this update, so please be patient and report any problems. Thanks!

#1.3.0:8
Settlements

#1.3.0:9
(NEW) Settler Skill Perks

* When your settlers reach certain skill levels, you will now gain a perk for it
* Rank 1 = 25 skill
* Rank 2 = 50 skill
* Rank 3 = 75 skill
* Rank 4 = 100 skill (not obtainable yet)
* To receive perks you are eligible for, visit the Mission Manager in the Command Table

#1.3.0:10
(NEW) Settler Crafting

* The skill that settlers gain from tasks/missions, can now be used to directly craft items for you
* This allows you to have settlers craft some items that you normally would need specific perks for
* Many "Contracted Work" items now require settler skill ranks
* Some workshop objects require settler skills to build (such as rank 2-4 MG turrets)
* Ballistic weave mods can be crafted by settlers now (more details much further below)
* Items such as turret parts, cargo bots, and memory devices don't require settler skills (I want these widely available still, so I'm not sure how I want to deal with them yet.)
* (More recipes will be added next update)

#1.3.0:11
The Resource Manager and the following workshop production devices are reworked:

* Water Purifiers
* Lumber Mill
* Stone Yard
* Steel Yard
* Oil Well

#1.3.0:12
NOTE: If you're using an existing save game, each of these resource generating devices will need to be STORED and PLACED again, in order for them to count properly in the Resource Manager.

#1.3.0:13
Workshop Production

* "Work Orders" are removed, and no longer needed
* Each production device will automatically be activated once you assign it a settler or give it power (as long as it's newly placed)
* Production will now track better in DLC settlements (could use some more testing)

#1.3.0:14
Setter Assignments (Both Jobs and Resources)

* Assignments should be more accurate to the exact settlement now (There used to be a chance that 2 close settlements (like Red Rocket and Sanctuary), could count each other's resources, but it will now check to make sure each station is inside the settlement.)

#1.3.0:15
Notes on Settler Assignments and Resources:

* + - Placing job stations or resources very close to the border of settlements may not work
		- Very long distances between similar stations may not work for totaling up resources. Most settlements are fine, ex: if you place stuff on each end of Sanctuary, it should be fine. Whereas a place like Spectacle Island could have problems if you place stuff too far apart.
		- Settlements very close to each other can still occasionally have incorrect assignments (I fixed this so it should usually work fine)

#1.3.0:16
Water Purifiers and Purification

* The upkeep on water purifiers is now 1 "Maintenance Kit" for each bottle produced, instead of fuel
* Each craft makes 4 Maintenance Kits which require 4 Clean Bottles and 1 Tool Kit
* Filters crafted from contracted work now require Settler Skill: Engineering rank 1

#1.3.0:17
(NEW) Extra Crop Production

* You can now gain an additional yield of crops using fertilizer
* Adding 1 fertilizer will grant you 3 "fertilizer units" for settlers to use (for 3 crops)
* You can gain a bonus of up to 20% of your crops in surplus (+1 crop per 5 grown)
* You can allocate fertilizer from the resource manager's main menu
* You can choose exactly which crop types you want to have your settlers focus your fertilizer on
* Surplus crops are evenly distributed based on what you are currently fertilizing
* Surplus crops are always healthy crops, and never rotten

(Simply put.. if you want settlers to focus on a healthy surplus carrots and corn, disable all the others in the options menu, and you're done.)

#1.3.0:18
Resource Manager

* (NEW) A smaller profile vault-style Resource Manager is now available
* The original Resource Manager cabinet has a cargo bot with shorter antennas
* The menu will now only show active production devices, it no longer shows inactive devices that don't have power or a settler assigned to
* (NEW) The Cargo Bot 1-X item destination is now separate from the production/crafting destination\*
* The Cargo Bot was only depositing into the Scrap Storage anyway, but that is fixed now with the new destination

#1.3.0:19
Settler Missions

* You now get 1 Engineer and 1 Entertainer task slot to start off with

#1.3.0:20
Cargo Bot 1-X

* (NEW) Cargo Bot 1-X now has it's own skinned mesh that has a basket attached, and shorter antennas
* (NEW) There's a new option to automatically move all your junk items to the Cargo Bot, and then open the inventory
* You can now set the destination for the cargo deposit on the Cargo Bot menu
* The remote access to the command menu now properly requires Local Leader rank 3

#1.3.0:21

* (NEW) You can now travel to the Nuka-World settlement if you own it
* Traveling should no longer consume supplies unless it actually traveled you somewhere
* An empty version is still included with the zip file, in case people aren't paying attention so that it overwrites the old file

#1.3.0:23
(NEW) Vendor Credit

* Tier 2+ vendor stalls that gain income now earn Vendor Credits instead of caps
* Can be either cashed in for caps, or used to build to Tier-3 vendor stalls
* Credits are worth 1 cap each if you want to directly sell them to vendors
* Credits are prefixed as "(Currency)" and put in your misc tab with other currencies
* Can be crafted through supply lines into caps in the Robotics Lab under WORKSHOP
* NOTE: The prices to buy tier 3 vendors may possibly be a little cheap, but since this is a new system I want to see how it balances

#1.3.0:24
(NEW) Vendor Contracts

* Vendor Contracts are required to build Tier-1 and Tier-2 Vendor stalls
* 1 contract can be bought by: Carla, Lucas, Daisy
* 2 contracts can be bought by: DC Surplus, Deb

Horizon - Desolation (Alpha Version)

#1.3.0:90
Desolation is a new hardcore mode that focuses on tougher survival. This version is very rough, and doesn't contain a lot of changes yet.

#1.3.0:91
In this mode, there's a bigger emphasis on being more self-sufficiant, instead of relying on NPC vendors and doctors. Combat Stimpaks are harder to craft/buy, as there is more pressure to make sure you're healed up properly outside of combat.

#1.3.0:92
Most illnesses and diseases should be cured as soon as possible. They are balanced so that you should no longer feel it's "ok" to just wait to cure them.

#1.3.0:93
This mode will not change NPC damage multipliers or carry weight. You can optionally use the existing addons for those.

#1.3.0:94
I definitely want feedback on it, but this mode isn't made for new players. If it's too taxing on you, turn it off.

#1.3.0:95
Food/Medical

* All pre-war food (that isn't preserved) is considered garbage food and has high risk of disease (not recommended to eat)
* All pre-war food is worth very little caps
* The debuff on Combat Stimpaks is increased to -150 rad resists (up from -50)

#1.3.0:96
Crafting

* Purified water can no longer be crafted by hand, and requires real purifiers to process it for you
* Some medical supplies require more antiseptic or other materials
* Crafting antiseptics from alcohol requires more pharmaceuticals
* Pharmaceuticals require more materials
* Cooked pre-war food is not available

#1.3.0:97
Loot

* Less ammo drops on NPCs
* Ammo Boxes generally have less ammo
* Ammo and smokeless powder drops less from some containers
* Tools drop less from containers

#1.3.0:98
Bartering

* Vendors don't trust you. All sell prices are 25% of the caps value (down from 50%)
* Combat Stimpaks and Blood Packs cost more caps

#1.3.0:99
Survival

* Weakness makes you take 40% extra damage
* Lethargy reduces AP regen by -75%
* Insomnia also reduces your Rad Resistance by -100

* Infection does 30 damage per tick from level 20+

#1.3.0:100
Armor

* Power Armor repairs are more expensive (not implemented yet - next patch)

#1.3.0:101
Q: My Submachine Gun or Mauser (or others possibly) won't work right with the ammo swapping.
A: Try throwing it on the ground and picking it up. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to get/craft a new version of that weapon post-patch if you want the ammo swapper to work properly.
