♻️ Changes

• Updated deepslate titanium ore texture to be more consistent with other deepslate ores.
• Xenomorphs now only move 10% faster instead of 20% faster when chasing a target.
• Significantly improved hit registration for all hitscan-based weaponry.
• Queens no longer despawn under any circumstances.
• Queens no longer immediately place a resin block down beneath wherever they are standing.
• Chestbursters, facehuggers and ovomorphs no longer count towards the hive's overall health.
  • These aliens will no longer count towards the hive boss bar.
  • They also will not keep the hive alive. If you kill all xenomorphs in the hive, the hive dies, even if there were chestbursters, facehuggers or ovomorphs within the hive.
  • If they are left alive under the right conditions, however, they can form an entirely new hive.
• Rebalanced queen resin spread stats to allow queens to spread resin faster and more frequently than drones.
  • We want queens to be able to "jump-start" a hive with this change. Previously they were too slow to spread any resin at all.
• All aliens (except queens) will now only naturally spawn in hives.
  • This means if there is resin outside a hive, aliens will no longer naturally spawn there.
  • Hives must be alive and must not be in an angered state in order for aliens to spawn in them.
• Aliens with a hive no longer despawn if their hive is in an angered state.
• Reduced MINIMUM_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_HIVES_IN_BLOCKS from 1024 blocks (64 chunks) to 256 blocks (16 chunks).
  • This change does not apply retroactively.
  • We're reducing the default value so that naturally spawning queens are more common as the default experience.
• Naturally spawning queens now only spawn once in a chunk region.
  • The size of the region currently depends on the value of MINIMUM_DISTANCE_BETWEEN_HIVES_IN_BLOCKS in the config.
  • Killing the queen will not allow more natural queens to spawn in that region. Once the region is cleansed, it's cleansed for good.
  • Artificial queens/hives can still be made in these regions even after naturally occurring queens have been eradicated.
• Removed requiresResin config options, xenomorphs (excluding queens) now always require resin in order to spawn.
  • We're making this change to allow for players to have consistent experiences, as well as to complement other spawn changes we've made this update.
  • If you want to add custom xenomorph spawns, we recommend using third-party mods designed with spawning customization in mind.
• Renamed "Ovamorph" to "Ovomorph".
  • These are only display-facing, non-breaking changes. Ovomorphs will have their registry name changed starting with v0.2.0.
• Renamed "Raw Silica" item to "Silicon".
  • These are only display-facing, non-breaking changes. Raw Silica will have its registry name changed starting with v0.2.0.
• Renamed "Block of Raw Silica" block to "Block of Silicon".
  • These are only display-facing, non-breaking changes. Block of Raw Silica will have its registry name changed starting with v0.2.0.
• Reduced overall block damage dealt by acid by 80%.
  • Acid's block damage still scales with the "strength" of acid, which increases when acid entities overlap.

• Fixed royal aliens not being tagged as aliens.
• Fixed missing name translations for aberrant, irradiated, nether and royal aliens.
• Fixed hive leaders being stuck in warrior form within small hives and not growing into queens.
• Fixed queen spawn checks only checking for nearby queens.
  • This created a scenario where a queen could spawn in a loaded chunk next to an unloaded queen in an unloaded chunk.
  • Instead, queen spawn attempts will now check for nearby hives instead of nearby queens, as hives are loaded regardless of chunk load state.
• Fixed xenomorphs lunging in-place while attacking a target.
  • Fixed by increasing their minimum horizontal lunge distance check from 1 block to 6 blocks.
