Livestock farming merges alongside the biofuel generator and Power Plant changes

Livestock_animals

• Cows harvest for 30 cloth, 100 leather, 100 bones, 20 beef and 40 fat; sheep give 10 cloth, 20 leather, 50 bones, 12 mutton, 20 fat plus any wool.#702504
• Adult cows and sheep now live 48 hours instead of 24, and wool recycles into 5 cloth.#704799
• Trough feeding now uses the food's calories, so bread is about 6x more effective and spoiled produce can no longer be eaten.#704800
• Ranch sales no longer pay 300 to 800 HQM; they pay 30 to 50 high quality metal ore, and cows now need the large flatbed module.#704801
• Livestock are docile in safe zones, bull damage is reduced, and leads now slow the player and break at around 7m.#705422

biofuel_generator

• The generator needs stirring every 30 minutes, with 60 fuel produced before each stir, and adding new food requires a restir.#702725
• Low grade fuel output and processing time scale with the food's calories, with a minimum of 1 fuel for poor foods such as grubs.#702741
• Dung produces 1 fuel.#704657
• A 'needs stirring' electrical output lets players wire alerts to the generator.#704300
• Power consumption raised from 2 to 5, and the generator was added to Hardcore and Primitive modes.#705386

Livestock_animals

• Beef pie raises maximum food by 75% (875 calories) and gives a 75% recovery chance when downed on a full hunger bar; the rich version reaches 1000 calories and 100%.#702827
• Beef pie effects now last 120 minutes instead of 30.#704792
• The mutton pie halves the time to bond with livestock and stops bulls charging; it was renamed shepherd's pie and now needs a potato.#704791
• All milk products give double calories and triple hydration.#704790

• The small heavy fuse box at Power Plant now sits by a window, so up to 5 fuses can be added without a green keycard.#704655
• Server owners can scale heavy fuse decay by population, with convars for low and high population cutoffs.#704763
• Power phase requirements and loot spawn types in powered loot rooms were tweaked.#703723
• Fixed power grid loot not respawning.#705237

• The oil rig pump timer now runs for 20 minutes plus a 15 minute start delay set by a convar.#702625
• Oil rigs no longer start radiation after a server restart if the locked crate is untouched.#702972

• The animal fence now appears in the Construction crafting category instead of Misc.#705113

critter_animals

• A first pass on jellyfish swarms was added.#703748
• Stags, boars and bulls no longer attack critters, and nothing attacks crabs.#705188
• Critters can no longer push players around.#704942
• Crabs no longer spawn in ocean areas without navigation data, and frogs that die while swimming play a swimming death animation.#705174
• Tin Can Alarms can now detect newer AI animals and critters.#705310

airwolf_repairable_pad

• Repairing the helipad requires 30,000 wood, 10,000 metal fragments and 100 rope, and an AIRWOLF CCTV camera was added.#704525
• Broken helipad stages were set up.#702620

• The store no longer preloads its image atlases, saving up to 250MB of memory, with deferred small atlases saving roughly another 250MB.#705208
• Navmesh saving moved to a background thread, cutting the save step from 260ms to 0.8ms on a large map.#705197
• Blueprint buttons now update only while the crafting menu is open.#705280
• Fixed memory leaks when disconnecting from servers and in parallel saves.#705283
• Fixed the sound system accumulating scheduled sounds past their start time.#705037

render_pipeline_testing

• The F8 performance overlay now shows detailed frame timing.#705160
• Water and volumetric clouds are no longer rendered when underground.#705004
• Colour grading curves were added, fixing a colour difference in the deep sea.#705269
• Fixed landmine and explosion screen effects lingering.#704827

throwable_prediction_fixes

base_occlusion

• Fixed deployables clipping through doors being hidden when an exterior door closes.#702685
• Turrets, drones and cameras viewed remotely have base occlusion disabled for now.#702785
• High walls are excluded and bases may now have multiple exteriors, such as an external TC connected by ramps.#704195

• A warning appears when buying an item you already own or with duplicates in the cart.#703023
