• Added traveling merchant and escort templates, villager gift balloons, and a villager potato airship.
• Added Coastal Fleet Siege, a naval invasion with 15 waves and a boss wave every third wave (WAVE ASSAULT MODE "INVASION" IS VERY MUCH UNFINISHED)
• Added five armor sets: Artillery Crew, Iron Boarder, Iron Raider, Ribbed Archer, and Ribbed Guard. (datapacks may now have armorsets! these apply to mobs on ambushes, which alter their armor and held items, giving them names and drop chances)

Factions and progression

• Expanded reputation bounds from ±2,000 to ±10,000 and moved the alliance threshold to 5,000.

• Added End progression and a fun suprise when you first enter the end
• Extended the normal natural-encounter window from 40–100 minutes to 40–140 minutes. (or 2 - 7 in game days, with 4 being the most spawned day)

Weapons and combat

• Added persistent cannon safe mode for protecting terrain from AMBUSH-owned cannon fire. Use the command to stop all ambushes from griefing terrain with cannons.
• Expanded support for additional CBC ammunition and ballistic types.
• Added automatic ammunition-box refilling.
• Reworked mechanical and swivel turret aiming, calibration, angle limits, and physical barrel alignment checks.
• Expanded configurable firing intervals, reload timing, and aiming tolerances (for datapacks)

• Added Merchant approach and landing behavior.

Crew, rendering, and performance

• Expanded crew combat, equipment, seating, retention, and navigation aboard moving vessels.
• Added configurable long-distance vessel tracking and rendering.
• Improved moving-vessel projectile coordinates and explosion handling, you may now blow up ambush ships without causing server lag.
• Improved kinetic-network transfer and restoration during assembly.
• Added incremental patrol landmark searches and unloaded-chunk checks for crew sightlines.
• Reduced repeated terrain-scan work and expanded control, aiming, and performance diagnostics.

Datapack support

• Added faction-gift, faction-alias, loot-alias, and vessel-render resources.
