Okay, I didn’t really check with the butcher quality. Is higher better than lower? Also , some of the tools seem to have negative values (experimental 2018, IIRC). ---

BeigeSand came through with an [update to scenarios](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8798), Kevin [fixed armor and armor-penetration calculations](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8796), the [examination crash](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8794) and [vehicle failures](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8797) from the pickup overhaul appear fixed thanks to i2amroy, [BevapDin cleaned up the ratty-lookin’ recipe overflow](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8788), and Rivet’s publicized her [pine PR](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8781) in the Lab. Been a pretty routine day in the M&A end of things here in DDA dev. > [@Snaaty](#): > > Okay, I didn’t really check with the butcher quality. Is higher better than lower? Also , some of the tools seem to have negative values (experimental 2018, IIRC). Higher quality is indeed better. Butchering was always a bit Wonky that way: negative butchering means that it can butcher, but it’s Lousy at it and you’re gonna be longer than you would with a proper tool. Oh, and, yeah, [crates can now be resealed](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8785) against thieving Random NPCs, and I just merged [fencing gear](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8713), as I recall. Go Snaaty! ---

> [@KA101](#): > > Kevin [fixed armor and armor-penetration calculations](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8796) To be clear, I’m 99% sure I fixed the source of the “turrets/children/squirrels occasionally bypass power armor” issue that’s plagued us for a long time now. After the fix I spawned 7 turrets in a row and stood next to them until they ran out of ammo without taking any damage in basic power armor. ---

It was a simple one-off error. The armor had a protection value from 0-99, but the roll that was being made was from 0-100 as I understand it. As such there was always that slim chance that whatever it was would roll a perfect 100 and get through your defenses. Turrets were just better at it since they fire multiple shots. ---

A simple solution solves an age-old problem. 🙂 I’m looking forward to this release so hard it’s starting to hurt. ---

Nab the latest experimental. It’s not too crashy, and less buggy than 0.A! 🙂 ---

Oh derp. I completely missed that fact; I’ve only been using advanced inventory for vehicle containers. xD ---

I don’t believe it’s been mentioned, but a month ago HuXTUS added some [new electronics](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/pull/8432): a tablet computer, a digital camera, and SD cards compatible with both. Randomly generated SD cards may contain valuable or encrypted data, like recipes! ---

Yes, I know. I’ve found them both in an electronics store. Now I can’t stop making pictures of every single living being in the game and putting them into my PDA! ---
