@@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ Version: 1.1.5
 Date: 23. 11. 2021
   Improvements:
     - Removed bounding box check when placing enemy buildings or upgrading buildings inplace
+    - Limited base faction mutations to 2 (configurable) with a small probability to be granted additional mutations or be locked into those factions forever
   Tweaks:
     - Doubled the processing rate of regional faction bases with new enemies
     - Added a small chance (0.5%) that Hives can spawn outside resource patches (Thank you Dimm2101)
