Changelog

Version: 0.3.1
Date: 2026-10-30
  Major Features:
    - First release. Named pets that follow you, fight beside you and help around the factory: a dog, a cat, a crow, a turtle, a tamed biter and a capybara.
  Features:
    - The dog. A stray dog walks up a few minutes after you start. It follows you, fights, mines nearby ore and brings you each load. Once you have a shelter it now and then runs off and comes back with a stray: another dog, a biter, a capybara or a turtle.
    - The cat. Drop raw fish on the ground and a stray cat may come for it. Hold fish and press the mine key on the stray to tame it. A cat near a cat bed goes on trips and brings back something it found, more often the simpler things. A following cat pulls biters off you for a few seconds.
    - The crow. Drop a copper plate on the ground and a stray crow may come for it. One fish tames it. It picks up items on the ground up to 20 tiles from you and brings them to you, flying over water and walls, and it runs from a fight.
    - The turtle. Slow and very tough, and the biters around it go for it first, attack waves included. They go back to what they were doing once it lets them go.
    - The biter, a strong fighter in twelve colours, as fast as a behemoth biter.
    - The capybara heals your things around it. Whenever ten or more biters crowd around it, a ring of leaves grows for two seconds and the biters still inside become its friends, with a small heart so you can tell them apart. Then it rests for 30 seconds.
    - The pet shelter: rename pets, pick a biter's colour, take a pet out as an item or set it free. Own any number, three out at a time. Each pet's item shows that animal's icon.
    - The whistle. Click a pet to make it stay or follow. Drag it over biters, ores, trees or items and the work is shared out between your pets that can do it.
    - Treats. Use one near your pets and the closest one within 15 tiles that can take it does its thing now: the dog runs off, a cat goes looking, the capybara makes friends, the biter rages for 30 seconds, the turtle hides in its shell and the crow brings you a shiny. Made from 50 raw fish, or with Space Age from yumako and jellynut.
    - Medicine, made from raw fish and wood. A fallen pet leaves a sleeping body; throw medicine on it, or put it inside, and the pet gets up again. Thrown at a pet that is hurt but still standing, it heals half its health. If there is nothing to heal you get it back.
    - Research for the shelter and medicine, the cat bed, and the whistle and treats.
  Changes:
    - Map settings for the cat's trip length, when the first dog arrives and how often a dog runs off. Startup settings for each pet's health, damage and speed.
    - /afi-run, for admins, makes a following dog run off now, optionally saying what it brings back.
