> I think the brush fires come from the raiders. Anytime they spawn, usually the end of the seasons fires starts on the edge of the map. Then later i can see their XXleather bardingXX where the fire started.
That's odd...has anyone else experienced this problem? It could be a bug with that particular worldgen, but otherwise I'm not sure.

Oh this is not intended?  I see raiders coming in ALL the time, with their clothing on fire and what-not.

[Graknorke]

IDE: The raiders salvaged and rebuilt washing machines for their clothing, but the electrical components are always done wrong and it ends up setting their clothes on fire.

[gzoker]

Maybe some of their body parts got the wrong temperature. Or they burst into flames like Twilight when angry.

[P(ony)SI]

The raiders seem to have correct body temperatures.

I played adventurer mode one time, and I got ambushed by raiders.
One of them was set on fire. I inspected the blazing one, and found that he had a "firewood" shield. I assume this is the cause of the flames.

I tried looking in the raws for firewood; I can't find anything, but it still seems to exist.

That may explain it. Firewood is a burning product from the bonfire workshop, but I overlooked that it could be used as a wood by certain entities. However, it's been in since the beginning of the mod, and I've never noticed raiders burning before, so more details would be helpful.

Were the burning raiders thieves or ambushers?
Were the burning raiders crazed or normal?
Was it only raiders who burned, or other visitors?

In the meantime, I've removed firewood. Given the accumulation of bug reports, I plan on releasing a small update soon. Thanks for the helpful feedback everyone!

[Zangi]

Most times, firewood shield.  Though, I've seen !! clothing, without the shield.  Might be the shield expired and spread before I checked up on it.

It only occurs with the raiders.  Unsure if they are the gibbering kind or not.
Ambushers have revealed themselves with fire, but... I don't think it is as frequent.  It is usually the sieges that light themselves.
Never with thieves, though, the map sometimes mysteriously lights up.  Unsure on that point.  Though, shields are not in their loadout I believe.

I'm still quite occupied by work, so development pace has not yet picked up.

[Corai]

I would like to ask a question regarding slaves. I haven't been able to find an answer in the thread. How exactly do you enslave or rehabilitate them? I haven't tried rehabilitating them, but enslaving I have. And it does not work. I've ordered it, i've pastured the slave in the workshop while the order was happening, it doesn't appear to work. Am I doing something wrong?

Oh, and is the reaction supposed to destroy the workshop after a few dozen uses?

[Lycaeon]

Pasture them next to the workshop and set the reaction on repeat. I just tested it myself in the new version and it works after some time, without any workshop deconstruction (Not sure how that happened in your Stable).

[Replica]

•   Reduced robot movement speed and returned lasers to protectaponies.

Does this apply to Sprite-Bots too?

[Corai]

Pasture them next to the workshop

Does that mean next to, as in outside of the workshop? As I've been pasturing them inside the workshop. Apologies for being an idiot, i'm just making sure.

[Indigo_Surprise]

•   Unconverted slave ponies no longer need to eat or dink.

Indigo cancels typing, taken by strange mood.

[Lycaeon]

Replica...I'm sorry...

(Speed has been halved, so it's not a large penalty. Robots were moving too fast in any case.)

And yes, Corai, adjacent to the workshop, but not inside.

Edit to below: Anytime!

[Corai]

Thank you for answering my question Lycaeon. That has cleared up quite a bit of confusion for me.

[Replica]

Well crap, thats going to sting when I update to the new version, their only real combat advantage was their speed really, now they will get less opportunities to dodge and make counter attacks in addition to moving slower, so I'd assume that they are not quite as valuable as sentries and patrol units anymore.
Whatever you think is best though.

Another question. This.

•   Reduced severity of radscorpion venom.

What does that mean exactly?
Is radscorp venom still lethal and instakilling or is there a chance for stung ponies to survive the venom?
