- Quest structures now have new items that can become required items.
- Market quest structure that only returns items when quest is completed, now doesn't appear after 600 leagues.
Changes:

Changes:
- There is now a fixed amount of fish you can catch at sea, to prevent dull strategy being: stay long amount at sea and try to catch "infinite" amount of fish.
- Gourmet doesn't generate ore at sea now. This is also to discourage similar strategy: wait long intervals at sea to efficiently use fish for ore.
Changes:
- Radioactive island now has green water (as well as small green brightness that's only seen at night slightly).
- Reduced base amount of resource count quest item requirement by 10%.
- Fixed research tech unintentionally printing to discord when crew disbands.
Changes:
- Reduced worm and spawner density in Poisonous Fens island by 33%. Reasoning: since this island is very big, there are naturally more biters there and it's a bit too dense with bigger crews.
- Reduced spawner density in Walkways island by 25%. Reasoning: in late game these islands become too hard, so this should help a bit.
- Reduced spawner density in Radioactive island by 20%. Reasoning: defending multiple structures can be difficult.

- Added construction bots to findable roboport structure. Also robot amount scales with leagues and is slightly randomised.
- Sulfuric acid amount in Poisonous Fens now scales with leagues.
- Added loot to ship wrecks in Sandworm Caldera.
- Increased ore amount in Sandworm Caldera by 3x. Also amount now also scales with leagues.

Changes:
- Changed quest item count formula using new philosophy: start lower, scale slightly faster. This results in ~30% on average smaller requirement for items to open the market in early game. The reasoning: it was observed that new players rarely complete the market quest, since they don't make items as fast as needed. As well as when players progress, they can craft items much faster (due to speed modules)
Changes:
- Classes that generate ore now generate a constant amount (independent of crew size). Idea behind this is, that it's not fun being "punished" for having more members in your crew, as well as, with bigger crew you spend less time in islands.
Changes:
- Added crude oil underneath pumpjacks that spawn with special structures
- When captain leaves game/crew, captainhood is first offered to random officer (afterwards it will cycle through crew members)
Changes:
- Fixed QM nil value bug and fixed QM tooltip

- When combat robots defeat enemies, the loot now goes straight to combat robot owner's inventory
Changes:
- Added damage reduction to Roc Eater that forgot to add before
- Fixed an issue where "placeability_function_optional" in "try_place" could be nil (it was causing crash in debug mode)
- Fixed an issue where arrival timer would continue ticking during kraken encounter past 20 seconds (this should result in kraken encounter not being unintentionally skippable anymore when arrival timer ends)
- Fixed an issue where kraken spit sometimes would cause a crash in debug mode
- Added 4 new dev related commands
- Significantly buffed Dredger class loot
- Buffed Master Angler class
- Changed tick tack trap to troll emoji when nothing happens
