0.2.2

Wild companions now roll a rarity tier (D→S), spawn properly equipped, and can craft tools, place torches, and smelt ore on their own.

Rarity tiers — D Common, C Uncommon, B Rare, A Epic, S Legendary — shown as a colored badge next to the companion's name in its screen. Each tier grants a modest flat max-HP bonus (+0/+2/+4/+6/+8) — nice to have, never mandatory.
Find or grow one. Wild companions roll a tier when they spawn (Legendary is rare!). You can also raise your own companion's tier through Rebirth — every 2 rebirths bumps it one tier (it never drops). A wild Legendary stays Legendary.
Gear scales with tier — companions no longer appear "naked": they spawn with weak armor (leather/chainmail/gold — never iron) and a wooden/stone/iron sword, sometimes a shield. A Legendary always arrives in a full matching set with Protection I on two pieces.
New admin command /companion tier set <tier> and tier shown in /companion info.

Behaviors panel — a gear button in the companion's screen opens a panel of toggles for its self-sufficient crafts. Hover each toggle for a plain-language summary.
Craft tools (on by default) — when it needs a pickaxe or axe and has the materials, it crafts one (resolving logs → planks → sticks on its own) instead of just asking you for it.
Place torches — lights up dark areas (caves, night) as it moves, crafting torches from coal + wood when needed, to prevent mob spawns.
Smelt ores — the passive Furnace also turns raw iron/copper/gold (and ancient debris) into ingots.
It announces in chat what it crafts or smelts, so resources are never spent silently.

Station unlock order: the Furnace now unlocks early (level 40) and Enchanting later (level 60) — the basic resource comes first, the powerful one later.
Expanded in-game guide — the welcome book grew from 6 to 17 pages: a preview of each of the 7 classes, plus the tier system, the Behaviors panel, the Portable Station, and Reborn.

Companions no longer attack each other — hitting one companion made your other companions target and kill it (and loop on revive). Companions are now always allies and never target one another.
Wild companions now spawn in modded worlds too — the village/biome spawn used hardcoded vanilla biomes, so in modpacks (modded worldgen) companions never appeared. It now also uses Fabric's conventional biome tags, and the spawn weight was raised slightly.
