minor update, made the cyborg guard take longer to aim, and it does actually tell you when it’s aiming at you too!  
I made that a bit louder to the player, try not to wear deafening stuff if you wanna hear it.

The weapon it uses it the vanilla fusion blaster bionic, it’s only overpowered because of a vanilla bug, essentially explosions are OP at the moment, so there isn’t really much I can do to fix it but putting in the effort to tweak the vanilla bionic to be weaker, or make the Cyborg guard use a different version that doesn’t create explosions and only does the raw 40 damage with no armour piercing, which I might make a bit stronger if it does too little damage on a leather armoured character.

It should work straight out of the box on the android nightly builds, if you’re using the play store version, it won’t, this is always made to work with the latest experimental, see the android version thread for where to download the nightly APKs.

This PR should add a useful measure against cyborg guards in-case anyone is still worried about them 😛 :

Quick note since you don’t seem to have issue reports open on your repository: it looks like the TENTACLE attack on some fungal mobs is causing infighting. It might be best to remove them as a fix, so that the hedgerows and walls stop killing the structures they’re supposed to protect.

On another look, the infighting’s still happening after I’ve removed them. I honestly have no idea what’s causing it.

I found out that smoking rack is not working as intended(meat still raw after 6h, same for fish etc.)  
Problem is in items/comestible.json, adding “smoking\_result” string fixes that.  
[https://pastebin.com/81HhNVs2](https://pastebin.com/81HhNVs2)  
Look at string 89 and 120.

Build 8515 moved the smoking rack functionality to json, so if you are using a build after that you will have the above issue, well until PKs is updated.

Probably should bump this to say, yeah, stuff is updated and bugs mentioned are now fixed, mention any more that come up and things you think are no longer necessary due to mainline balance that I should remove (the smaller the mod is, the easier it is to update and the more likely it is for me to be able to mainline it)

2、pk\_mutation\_override

such as：Strong Very Strong Extremely Strong Insanely Strong  
Activating these does not lead to an increase in Strength

Mutation stuff is related to a bug currently in the game that will be fixed before 0.D, so for now mutations are broken in this mod til that’s fixed, I’ll try to figure out what the issue with the stimpack is in the mean time.

**UPDATES 6/03/2019** DD/MM/YYYY  
Mutations no longer broken, berserker stims likely still crash the game until I can either figure out what causes the crash, or just remove them

I can’t do anything useful with that, you have to give me an in-game error, warning, what actually causes the crash so I can figure out what the issue is.

Thank you for fixing the mutation！  
I have a new bug to report to you.  
Scenario selection of Warped In，starting location of warp zone。

strange stones、strange cabin、radioactive rubble，All of these have bugs or crashes。

I’m thinking of potentially removing that start or changing it to mandatory locations, as sometime earlier I made all of those not mandatory overmap specials.

This means that often a single overmap will not spawn with any because there are many other specials, but making less of them mandatory means there’s less map generation bugs and finding things is much less predictable.

Well there is nothing ingame, it just crashes after a few ticks, further testing showed that removing the triffids using the no triffids mod fixes it so its a problem with that I suppose.
