CHANGELOG
Changelog
1.1.1

- Fixed wanderers being completely invulnerable — Dverger faction prevented all player damage; now uses ForestMonsters with hunt disabled instead
- Wanderers are now properly damageable while remaining passive until struck
1.1.0
Fixes
- Fixed critical spawn bug where wanderers spawned every frame — entries were being added once per zone chunk load instead of once per session
- Wanderers now correctly spawn at expected frequency

- Biome override argument added to
spawnwanderercommand (e.g.spawnwanderer plains) - Converted companions now spawn at full health
- Bow attack cooldown added (3 seconds between shots) to prevent arrow spam
- Added overhead speech text — wanderers say contextual lines while roaming and in combat
- Added
ConvertOnDeathconfig option — disable to have wanderers simply die instead of becoming companions - Natural skin and hair color tones only (no more green/purple)
- Spawn rate reduced (50 min interval, 15% chance)
