Wasteland 0.2.91 - Nothing Wasted

Bosses no longer fold early. A boss used to drop the moment a vital part failed - which could happen with most of its health bar still full - or from a pain blackout. Now a boss's bar is one pool: every hit carries through, limbs shred before vitals, and it fights you until that bar is EMPTY. Nothing knocks it down early. The ladder was retuned around it so fights land where they always did rather than turning into a slog, and Gutmaw in particular came down off 150 health he was never meant to have chewed through - he now hits like the ogre he is instead of standing there soaking. Difficulty comes from their enrage, as it should. THE RIG: pulling a core no longer destroys it. The fee was always the price of a SAFE extraction, so that is what it buys now - the core comes back to your stash, intact, ready to re-fit on anyone. Cores are lost by dying, not by rearranging your own rig. Pulling asks first, and if you are about to pull your main gem it tells you exactly which R you will be left holding. And you can finally CHANGE that R: the gem in your MAIN socket sets your ultimate, but there was no way to move another gem into it, so whichever core you fitted first owned your ultimate forever. SET MAIN re-seats any fitted gem into the main socket - free, and nothing is destroyed. THE FIELD: claim the ground you work. Walk up to a resource seam out in the zones and press U to stake a CLAIM, then bolt a PROSPECTOR RIG to it. Feed it refined fuel and it picks the node over while you range - common and standard finds only, banked in its tray for your return. It pulls about 45% of what your own hands would, holds a day's work at most, and grinds itself down until you patch it with scrap. Your stakes and rigs stand on the ground they work, so you can read RUNNING, COLD or BROKEN from across the flat.
