Release Notes

v0.1.1-beta - Runtime Fix Update

This update focuses on runtime safety, validation accuracy, and release packaging cleanup.

Fixed carcasses disappearing too quickly after kills.
Fixed skinning yield targeting the wrong runtime path. Skinning yield now increases carcass recipe output counts instead of changing D_ToolDamage.Skinning_Efficiency, which could make carcasses deplete faster.
Fixed zero-value runtime math. Baseline 0 values now stay 0 instead of being clamped to 1, preventing disabled or sentinel timers from becoming one-second timers.
Fixed free-craft debug/runtime mutation so it does not clear ResourceInputs, which can drive live resource/item drain.
Added safety handling so stack and container slot settings do not shrink below vanilla baseline during runtime mutation.
Added carcass recipe safety handling so generic processing/material/free-craft array edits do not mutate carcass processor rows.

Debug validation can force supported settings to test values and log before/expected/actual math checks.
Runtime validation now avoids fake green passes by reporting missing fields, partial application, skipped targets, unsupported targets, and math failures.
Body diagnostics were added for carcass-related tables when debug validation is enabled.

Some settings are table-backed rather than direct live-player writes. Health, stamina, carry capacity, movement speed, and regen mutate D_CharacterStartingStats grants. The game may cache current pawn values, combine them with armor/talents/buffs, or recalculate them only after session load, spawn, respawn, or healing.
Air control is applied as a direct runtime scan of loaded movement components and should be more immediately visible.
A clean validation log proves the table/runtime target changed as expected, but the in-game HUD may not always display a simple visible old value * multiplier result for derived stats.

Player releases use IcarusConfigMod.exe as the only required launcher.
Players do not need Python, PowerShell scripts, batch files, Visual Studio, CMake, Rust, Nuitka, or PyInstaller.
Runtime state, logs, generated work files, and save backups are stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%\ZSG Studios\IcarusConfigMod\.
The player zip should not include source tools, build folders, .bat, .ps1, or player-side .py launch scripts.
