- Fixed an issue, where boat wouldn't auto undock in radioactive island when auto undock timer reached 0.
- Adjusted some dock market prices (for converting one item to another).

- 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.
- Increased coal amounts in Frozen pools by 2x. Also amount now also scales with leagues.
- 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 static fuel consumption formula, which scales less aggressively with each additional crew member. For comparison, previously 3 and 6 crew members increased fuel consumption 2x and 3x respectively. Now 3 and 6 crew members increase fuel consumption by 1.24x and 1.44x respectively.
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.
