Boneraiser Minions

Patch v34.15

//bug fixes
- Some of the old save file format data wasn't loading correctly.
- Boneworld Challenges: Being offered a Boneraise could remove a currently Sealed Relic/Spell.
- Boneworld Challenges: If the day changed mid-run then it could upload your score to the new Challenge instead of the one you started in (it will now save the current day/week when entering the Choose Challenge menu).
- Boneraise Lore - Sealment Sigil meta: This was only giving 1 Spell and 2 Relic Seals (instead of 3).
- Boneraise Lore - Banishment Sigil meta: This was only giving 1 Spell and 2 Relic Banishes (instead of 3).
- Status Screen: You could move the Minion selector when not on the Minion screen.
- Boneraise: If you have a lot of minions it's possible a Soul boneraise may not offer all applicable Deamon items.
- Psycho Possessed class: He could upgrade some Waxen minions when not in Doll Maker form and upgrade Skellies/Giants when in Doll Maker or Beast Whisperer form.
- Roaming Traveller events: You could open the Status Screen while the Escape Menu was already open.
- Bernard's Watch relic: This was applying its bonus Invincibility frames in addition to the basic frames (instead of replacing it).
- Treasured Chesty contraption: If there was something in the way when it had fully regrown then it would flash.

Patch v34.14


//misc changes
- Re-added some of the save file compatibility code which just reads data from the old save file format (in case you haven't played since just before the original release).
- Greetings screen: Changed the text since it's possible to see it without it being your first time playing.
- Giantous Deamonous minion: His bone projectiles now destroy themselves after inflicting a lot of Damage.
- Magma Gargantuan minion: Increased the amount of Damage his lava does.
- Zogziech Diablos minion: Increased the amount of pillars and Damage his attacks do.

//bug fixes
- The Greetings screen where you set up your basic keyboard controls could show at the beginning of the game again.
- Boneraise screen: Some items were being offered without needing to sacrifice their intended minions (affected the various Giant minions and Bonemeldus Destineous).

Patch v34.13


Some of the save file compatibility code has been removed which was responsible for updating old save files into the newer format at game launch. If you haven't played since the Early Access days then you may lose some meta unlocks when booting up now, but this is just to test to see if it's the cause of a recent bug that seems to be nuking save files if you haven't played since just before the game's full release.

// Doll Maker class changes
- They can now raise the Waxen Elven Wayfinder boss by combining 2 Enchantresses and a Hero Soul, who dishes out a lot of huge Blight arrows.
- A new meta has been added called Waxenmould Custodian which allows them to raise Waxen Custodians, who are a rare but powerful minion and at level 3 occasionally casts lightning.
- A new meta has been added called Divergent Waxings which boosts your running speed the more different Wax minions you have.
- A new meta has been added called Divergent Wicks which boosts your Wax minion Damage the more different Wax minions you have.
- Championship Invigoration meta: This has been renamed to Towering Invigoration and now gives +100 Max Health for each different towering Waxen minion (eg Lord of the Land, High Wizard, etc).
- Waxen Face meta: The size of the Scary Face's relic aura size is now boosted the more Max Health you have.
- Cannibal Shaman: His dancing aura effect now gives Unholy Protection and unblesses any Blessed meanies (instead of Hasting Cannibals).
- He now has a very rare chance of upgrading a level 1/2 Champion without needing a Soul but at the expense of sacrificing a relevant minion (Knight/Paladin).
- The boneraise icons for the Fanatic and Flag Waver have been changed so it's easier to see their different levels.

//misc changes
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- Boneworld Challenges: You no longer spend Coin/Soul meta in this game mode (eg at the Blacksmith, Merchant, etc) so everybody's experience is the same.
- A new Curse has been added called Envy which transforms enemies into random other enemies, and normal pickups into random other normal pickups.
- The requirements to unlock the Castle Conquest and Boneworld Challenges game modes have been swapped around (so Conquest is unlocked sooner).
- Castle Conquest - Queen fight: At the start of the 2nd phase Custodian reinforcements will now arrive.
- Imp Contraptineer: In the Build Contraption menu if you haven't researched the selected contraption the description will now refer you to the Architect Mode (in case you didn't know where to research contraptions).

//bug fixes
- When switching between a Steam Deck and PC the usual Greetings menu where you can set the default controls wasn't showing when you booted up the game for the first time on the new device.
- Castle Conquest: Enemies from forgotten Heroic Force were still spawning as if they weren't forgotten.
- Boneworld Challenges - Rainswept Ruin map: The rain could spawn strangely (due to the seeding).
- Cyclop Exile class: When boneraising if you were offered an extra item then re-rolled resulting in you having less items when the selector was the bottom option then it could cause a crash.
- Beast Whisperer class - Divergent Savagery meta: The Slimes, Wyrm, and ranged attacks weren't benefitting from this meta.
- Creative Mode: When playing at a high New Game Forever enemies would push each other away from each other very far away.
- Creative Mode: Enemies could spawn Super Blessed despite having the 'no supers' mutator on.
- Creative Mode: When building contraptions it wasn't showing or abiding by the max contraption cap.
- Suffering Configuration relic: It's Damage bonus wasn't applying to minion contact damage (eg those used by Waxen and Tamed minions).
