Added tons of new food and recipes. Sophistication ability is now much more useful, allowing crafting with fabrics at a loom, as well as cooking quality meals and crafting jewelry when combined with other abilities. You can now make sushi, rice, bread, sandwiches, pies, and more.
Also, changed light damage to acid damage. It only existed for vampires, and I'm not even sure I wanna use vampires yet (outside the Patreon Stories). Having a whole type of damage for one baddie was a waste, so now it's acid damage (which used to be a combination of heat+body, like in Brigand). I'll have bottles of acid you can throw with the next patch. Lots of other fixes.
Complete list of changes:
-Changed Light damage to Acid damage (slime, acid puddles). -New food: apple, banana, wheat, rice, corn, sandwich, pie, seaweed, sushi. -Lots of new cooking recipes for the Naturalism ability: grains, bread, meals. -Crafting clothes/rope at a loom is now done with Sophistication ability, not Naturalism. -Forging coins with Smithing ability now requires a counterfeit plate (obtainable in Ch.2). -Sophistication ability now required to forge jewelry (Smithing) and cook quality meals (Naturalism). -Mobiles now turn to face items when getting them, and play use animation if used immediately (grazing). -"TimePass" command no longer restores party Meta (assume party is working while crafting). -Replaced hole objects with cracks (holes looked too similar to puddles of petrol). -Gorbo now asks for 10 meadow berries instead of 5, doubled wealth reward. -New objects for Ch.3: treeBanana, raft. -Added more food to Chapters 1+2.

Animals now eat nearby food (both carnivores and herbivores). Replaced ratfolk faction with Izar Empire because it's much more influential (sorry, ratfolk). Rest assured there will still be a recruit-able ratfolk party member. Added some new units for future chapters, including City Champion, Izari Officer, and Horned Trog.
Also improved lots of Chapter 2 dialogue: Ireyna sells leather armor, you can flirt with Stormeye, you can use social abilities on Troimus and Iole, more.
