🦠 SporeWithin v1.0.1 Changelog

🛠️ Bug Fixes & Stability

• Fixed Forge Entity Resolution: Eliminated a registry fallback issue where vanilla entities (pigs) could spawn instead of parasite types.
• Fixed Lore Hierarchy & Tier Leakage: Correctly classified Wendigo strictly into the Hyper-tier (Stages 3–4), completely preventing advanced mutants from spawning during Stage 1.
• Fixed Regional Mound Spawning: Removed an accidental 15-minute cooldown that occurred when burning remains, ensuring subterranean mounds consistently and reliably incubate across valid terrain.

⚡ Gameplay & Balance Enhancements

• Scout / Assault Remains Overflows: When the maximum mound density is reached in a region, excess unattended remains now directly erupt scout strike squads on the surface to reinforce local nests!
• Decoupled Evolution from Defense: Summoning defense squads no longer consumes the mound's evolution points. Mounds will no longer artificially degrade backward in stages when defending themselves.
• Strict Stage-Locked Defense Squads:
  • Stage 1: Strictly 3 Basic Infected grunts (Bairn, Inf Human, Inf Villager).
  • Stage 2: Exactly 1 squad of 4 units (2 Evolved Mutants + 2 Basic).
  • Stage 3: Exactly 1 squad of 5 units led by a Hyper-Predator (Wendigo/Brot + 2 Evolved + 2 Basic).
  • Stage 4: Epic 2-wave subterranean boss assault.
• Defense Cooldown: Enforced a balanced 25-second cooldown between defense squad eruptions to prevent wave spam.
