Timeline on the updates hub. Follow-ups: 2121 bathtub nerf, 2135 bandages, 2148 D-pad fix.
Survival and food

- Brief Dialogue option highlighted for snappier NPC conversations (verify toggle in your build settings).
2121 follow-up: bathtub travel cheese emerged after this change—recovery was nerfed in the next hotfix.
Mining and copper
