Boneraiser Minions
Patch v32.12
//misc changes
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- Improved the CPU performance of enemies (notably if there's a lot of them).
- Tweaked the enemy AI so there's less chance of them bottlenecking if there's a lot of them (notably with ranged meanies who stop to shoot which would slow enemies behind them).
- Item Countdown setting: There will now be a countdown after a Roaming Traveller event. There now won't be a countdown after a Hero Soul boneraise (since it's always followed by a Relic choice).
- Castle Conquest - During the stage end sequence off-screen enemies will now be removed from play and you can no longer cast spells or activate Restless Monoliths (to prevent delays).
- Crypt Hub - Castle Conquest - If you choose not to load a Run Save file when entering the game mode then that Run Save file will now be deleted.
- Meldum Afflicted class: Added icons to the HUD (bottom-left) so you can keep track of the Meldisoom Secretions and Meldusmania Marrow meta.
- Rainswept Ruin map: In Mausoleum Awakening they now always have an extra 'Goopily Slimies' stage and start with a pre-built Soulen Receptacle contraption.
- Dungeon Catacomb map: The Boulder will now force open any Treasure Chests it touches.
- Deamonic Monk minion: Their aura which boosts Deamon minion attack speeds is reduced to +25% for other Deamonic Monks (normally it's +50%).
- Megas Meldsumossous minion: You can now be offered this by sacrificing 2 Mighty Meldus (though will prioritise a regular Meldus).
- Bodily Fluids spell: The number of enemies this spell affects has changed so the amount is now linked to the casting power level (previously usually every enemy on the map would turn into Slimes).
- Gold Coins: Reduced their pickup sound volume. They are now affected by the 'Ghostly Pickups' and 'Muted Repetitive' settings.
- Boning Totem contraption: Clarified its description.
- Neighbourly Boners achievement: Clarified its description.
//bug fixes
- Boneworld Challenge: The spawning position of enemies would sometimes not be the exact same between runs.
- Rainswept Ruin map: Enemies were very rarely spawning on the right-hand side of the map.
- Castle Conquest: During a stage event that adds an extra Wizard, Flag Waver, or Champion there was a chance they wouldn't spawn if that stage has a Boss.
- Castle Conquest - Rainswept Ruin map: If there was a Trapsmithy event then Slimes and Lightning would spawn whilst the menu was active.
- Compendium - Minion Boneways: This menu wasn't closing correctly when exiting from the Escape Menu. The Mega Meldus and Brozilla unlock texts weren't showing correctly.
- Sprout Brotatoes - Root Germinate meta: In a Boneworld Challenge the roots were spawning in exactly the same way.
- Deamonic Monk minion: The damage from summoned Bombers wasn't being added to the Monk's Damage stat.

- Berry Bro: Their Max Health boost timer would reset when starting a new NGF loop or new Castle Conquest stage.
- Chunky Vomiter minion: In a Boneworld Challenge each vomit projectile would move in exactly the same way.

- Doll Maker class: Slightly increased the chance of being offered Wizards/Fanatics.
- Sinned Deamologist - Diablos Whisperings meta: Tweaked the wording so it's clearer what it does (in case you didn't know Diablos usually count as 2 Deamons for minion cap purposes).
- Waxen Fanatic minion: Their AI will now run towards the nearest enemy they can see (instead of just idling around you).
- Waxen Lunatic Fanatic minion: Their AI will now run towards the nearest enemy they can see (instead of just idling around you). Their swinging ball Damage has been increased.

Patch v32.9
- Updated the "translation_reference.csv" file.
- A new save file has been added called "save_stats.dat" which stores game mode local scores and stats. This is just to split up the main "save.dat" to help figure out the save file deletion issue.
- Creative Plaything: You can now play the Castle Conquest game mode in here.
- Compendium - Minion Boneways: This now has a second page showing Doll Maker and Beast Whisperer minion paths. The first page has been redesigned and the controls changed for easier navigation.

//bug fixes

- Compendium - Local Leaderboard - Castle Conquest: This was repeating your top score multiple times.

Patch v32.7
- Those cheeky chappy Deamon Imp/Tangler minions were causing mighty mischief!
Patch v32.6
- Creative Plaything: The 'Bone Value' option now affects all sources of bone collection (eg relics such as Bonechemist Slab). Previously it only affected Bone Pickups.

- Rainswept Ruin map: The enemy collision mask at the top has been adjusted so it's easier for enemies to reach you in the little corners.

//bug fixes

- Compendium - Minion Boneways: The Brozilla didn't have a Hero Soul icon.
- Castle Conquest: The Custodian Errant stage event wouldn't spawn Custodians if the stage was below 4.
- Liche Escapade achievement: It wasn't counting Unholy Monk skellies.
- Psycho Possessed class: When possessing a new class you could have unused spells with empty spells above it (since his max spell slots change based on the possessed class).
- Boneworm Brainiac class: The Morgzoloth minion's laser origin wasn't centered on you.

- Compendium - Minion Boneways: Changed the Behemoth Excavator pathway so it's consistent with how other minions show.

- Raising a Berry Bro could cause CHAOS as it was mucking up the current map variable (notably causing issues in Castle Conquest and with achievements).
Patch v32.3
- Crypt Hub: The Boneworld Challenges doorway gems now have different colours depending on your current rankings (grey = unplayed, pink = played, blue = top 10, yellow = 1st).
- Castle Conquest - Trapsmithy: The contraption costs now just use the same method as the Architect Mode (bit simpler as it's just based on what contraptions are on the map already).
- Castle Conquest - Queen fight - second phase: Her Health has been boosted and she now fires extra projectiles once she loses 50% Health.
- Brodacious Brozilla minion: He now requires at least 2 different types of Big Bro to raise (feels more thematic, and was otherwise very easy for Shaman class to raise).
- Berry Bro minion: He now gives his Max Health boosts twice as fast during a Necrotic Skirmishes game mode (since the runs are shorter).
- Compendium - Itemography: Added an unlock help text for the Brozilla minion.
//bug fixes
- Castle Conquest - Trapsmithy: Placing a contraption could cause a crash (notably on maps with a lot of contraption spots).
- Castle Conquest - Trapsmithy: You could open up the Escape Menu which would cause issues.
