🔥 BountyOnBurn v1.7.2 → v1.7.3 — Lighter now ignites corpses for bounty
Tiny addition: the Lighter mod's lighter item now counts as a corpse-ignition source for bounty payouts.

Before: right-click a corpse with an active lighter → no "Burn corpse" option. After: right-click a corpse with an active lighter → "Burn corpse" appears → burns corpse, pays bounty (1 copper + 20 karma + flame effect) just like flint-and-steel or wand-of-the-deity does.

Flint-and-steel still works — nothing about the existing burn sources changed. We just added a fourth source.

💎 JewelBin v1.0.1 → v1.0.2 — sort toggle now actually works on jewel bins
Quality-of-life fix.

If you'd installed jewel bins and tried bulkseparated's right-click "Toggle sorting" menu on them, you'd have noticed the menu appeared but did nothing. Gems just pooled into one QL-blended pile regardless.

Fixed. Tonight onward:

Sorted mode → gems land in QL-bucketed piles (separate pile per QL tier)
Unsorted mode → all matching gems pool into one blended pile (the old behavior)
Toggle the same way you would on any other bulk container — right-click bin → Toggle sorting → click to switch.

No change to anything else about jewel bins — same templates, same gem types, same gem insertion behavior. Just the sort toggle works now.

🌀 RiftMod v2.4.x → v2.5.0 —
Major rift overhaul tonight. Three new things: scouts, jewelry, and a Warmaster wave.

🆕 Rift Scouts — wilderness mini-rifts between main rifts
Between the main 4-wave rifts you're used to, scout rifts now spawn in the wilderness during the rift cooldown window. Smaller, faster, fewer mobs — think of them as snack-sized rifts to bridge the gap.

Anchored close to inhabited deeds (20-120 tile band, but not ON your deed and not building over your structures)
Spawn with their own state machine — scouts wander a small area, then either despawn cleanly or roll into a fight
Drop scout-specific loot
🆕 Rift Jewelry — 15 jewelry templates now do things
Every rift necklace, bracelet, and ring you've collected from rift loot was previously just an item with a fancy name. Tonight they activate.

10 effect types wired up across the 15 templates
3 ItemBonus stubs patched in vanilla — these are bonuses that the base game declared but never implemented, now functional
Necklace of Replenishment — slows hunger and thirst depletion while worn. Test it: equip + sprint 60 seconds, watch food/water drop more slowly than baseline.
🆕 Warmaster wave-4 boss
Every rift now climaxes with a wave-4 Warmaster spawn — a 109-strength named boss as the rift finale. Drops worth fighting for.

Tightened wave structure — 4 distinct waves
Rifts now run as 4 distinct waves with a 60-second pause between them, rather than continuous spawning. Gives groups time to regroup, loot, and prep.

Active-zone terraform block
You can no longer terraform tiles inside an active rift's combat zone (10 actions blocked: dig, level, raise rock, lower rock, etc.). GMs can bypass for cleanup. Closes a long-standing griefing vector.

Three new titles
Rifter — close a rift to completion
Defender — major contributor to closing a rift
Investigator — finish a scout-rift state machine

Brand new merchant type. Sits alongside the existing currency traders (those still work unchanged), but adds something they couldn't do: buy items back from players for currency.
