-Vanilla Psycasts Expanded - Puppeteer
-Vanilla Races Expanded - Highmate

==Trait balance==
-Sadistic adjustment: ew/ Ascetic and Humble, since it’s conceited

-Vanilla Factions Expanded - Classical
-Vanilla Factions Expanded - Pirates

==Trait balance==
-Imperceptive (and corresponding gene) adjustment: disables the comfort meter
-[Biotech] Mentor buff: skill xp gained from Mentor social interactions now scales w/ the Instructive Ability stat. To keep it the same amount w/o any sources of Instructive Ability other than the trait, the skill xp has been reduced to a third its former value. You can thank a random offhand comment from YouTuber PearOnPearOff for inspiring this change

==Bugfixes==
-Restored the Easter egg trait’s usual functionality (which is to say, none)
-[Biotech] The corresponding genes for Keen/Powerful Senses grant 1.35x comfort mood, as intended
-[Royalty] Psychic Oxpecker spontaneous animal self-taming MTB 0.051d→1d, as intended

--Move Unseen psyfocus cost 14%→13%
--Wimpzone psyfocus cost 40%→32%
--Muscular Innervation psyfocus cost 70%→36%
-Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Heavy Weapons

==Skulker event balance==
-Raid strategy weightings for Burglary and Espionage 0.12→0.24
-Raid strategy weightings for Assassination and Sabotage 0.08→0.18
-Sabotage munitions can neither be claimed nor uninstalled. Instead, they have a “disarm” gizmo which targets a construction-capable worker to come over and try to deconstruct it. This takes as many work-units as trying to deconstruct a normal such IED, and requires the worker to be adjacent (but not necessarily on top of) the IED to start work. Each level of construction skill grants 5% success chance (which deconstructs the IED and creates a blast of smoke). On a failure, success is rolled a second time, snuffing out its wick if that check succeeds

==UI==
-(also applies to 1.5) [Royalty] Archic Syzygy renamed→Archonic Syzygy

==UI==
-[Royalty] The attack granted by the Fulmar transcendence now uses the same icon as the controllable ranged attacks granted by other transes

v1.0.38
An update to 1.6 is live.
The 1.6 version lacks most mod compatibilities; those that haven't been disabled have not been tested.
DO NOT USE IN 1.6 UNLESS you have a version of Vanilla Expanded Framework that is tagged for use in 1.6 (currently available on GitHub, it still has a couple bugs).
A full list of changes can be seen in the Patch Notes linked in the Framework. Changes shown below are just the ones important to players. Any change prefaced with {+1.5} also applies to the 1.5 version of HAT.

==Trait balance==
{+1.5}Bookworm buff: duration of individual stacks of mood bonus from reading 8h→12h
-Skulker adjustment: scouting a world site for hostiles now also detects hostile parties which the player has already been made aware of
-Outdoorsy, Tempestophile adjustments: both traits are suppressed by the Indoor Dweller gene
{+1.5}[Biotech] Mechaphobe buff: mood per bandwidth of controlled mechs in colony -1→-0.5 (cap remains unchanged at -40)

==[Royalty] Psychic trait balance==
-[Biotech] Genetically woke pawns no longer have to pass another chance check against the relevant mod setting to transcend after coming back immediately from death due to directly-mortality-related transcendence methods
{+1.5}[Anomaly] The following transes are now immune to blood rain: Dove, Orca, Pitohui, and Strix. They use the new method of blood rain immunity, described in the bugfixes section below
-Albatross adjustment: wind level now gradually but steadily ramps up while meditating
{+1.5}Dulotic buff: grants the Morbid meditation type
{+1.5}Emperor Penguin nerf: chance per evaluation to issue the call due to having recently beaten a life-threatening illness 20%→7.5%
{+1.5}Firehawk buff: grants the Flame meditation type
{+1.5}[A] Pitohui adjustment: the purging effect now also clears blood rain buildup
{+1.5}Erinys adjustment: the amount of meditation required to remove Psychic Censure now has an upper limit of 1y
{+1.5}Wraith buff: starts out with invulnerability, since it also starts on cooldown

==Improved mod settings==
{+1.5}[Biotech]: Bonus growth moments (as in, those literally called "bonus" in the blue letter) don’t grant more passion options. Doubles as a bugfix, as it prevents situations where, when the player has set the max trait limit to a high number, the game runs out of passions to level up and therefore prevents the player from ever actually finalizing their growth moment decisions

==Bugfixes/UI==
{+1.5}The following thoughts no longer offset mood when nullified:
----[Ideology] Subjugator need for superiority
----[Biotech] Misopedist child counter, Caretaker child counter, both mech traits' controlled mech counters, Environmentalist pollution check
----[Royalty] Anarchist empire relation check, Servile leader counter
-The Skulker ability to determine if a world site is occupied by hostile parties is no longer a gizmo that appears when a Skulker-containing caravan is atop such a site; this approach made it difficult to use the ability in 1.5 onwards since you could not order a caravan to move to a site without entering it, requiring you to path the caravan through the site rather than to it. Now, it is one of the menu options that appears when a Skulker-containing caravan is issued a right-click order to the site
{+1.5}Tranquil now only permits a specific list of mental breaks, so Tranquil pawns can now never have a mood-induced mental break that isn’t immediately ended by Tranquil
{+1.5}Vain beauty moodlet's description updated to reflect correct numerical values
{+1.5}Winsome and [Royalty] trans Cuckoo now have +3% suppression power, as intended
{+1.5}[Biotech] Environmentalist mood based on current tile’s pollution level now applies when despawned
{+1.5}[R] Language keys for transcending due to being hit by an apocriton’s death shockwave, and for attaining the Apocriton transcendence, are no longer the same
{+1.5}[R] Removed an erroneous decimal point in the description for one of the transcendence methods (both in the user manual and in the Revelation letters)
{+1.5}[R, A] ScenPart_ForcedAwakenedPsychic no longer affects mutants e.g. ghouls
{+1.5}[R] Life-type awakening from surviving a life-threatening immunizable illness no longer throws a modified collection error
{+1.5}[R, B] Genetically woke Incarnates once more have the intended watered-down version of the trait’s buffs, but can now stack again w the trait’s buffs. Existing pawns have not been changed
{+1.5}[R] Implemented the 46656% trans method’s annual timer
{+1.5}[R, B] Trans Apocriton cannot control bosses
-[R] Victims of trans Apocriton control now use LordJob_DefendPoint(where they are) instead of LordJob_EscortPawn(the Apocriton), in the hope this will boost their aggression
{+1.5}[R] Trans Bluejay projectile texture path Things/Mote/SkipInnerDimension → Things/Ethereal/Tornado, so there should be no more jagged black flicker
{+1.5}[R] Trans Cassowary damage multiplier now ensures wielded equipment has comps. I think every weapon has comps, but just in case…
{+1.5}[R] Dulosis can’t be refreshed by killing the victim again. Since this was caused by an error w/ disappearing on death, it no longer disappears on death, but disappears on resurrection
{+1.5}[R] Trans Electrophorus really is immune to EMP
{+1.5}[R] Trans Emperor Penguins contemplate MIB summoning when they’ve beat a life-threatening illness each tick → hour
{+1.5}[R] Trans Glowworm’s tooltip now clarifies what happens when using a psycast w/ random destination like Chaos Skip
{+1.5}[R] Trans Lovebug’s tooltip no longer claims that artificial body parts aren’t duplicated, and now correctly states that you can’t remove artificial body parts from doppels
{+1.5}[R, A] Trans Mosquito and Shearwater immunity to blood rain no longer works by preventing it from triggering mental states, but by making them always return false when eval’d by BloodRainUtility.ExposedToBloodRain
{+1.5}[R] Trans Quahog equipment improvement proc chance per attempt 7%→8% (as intended), and severity no longer decrements outside of proc attempts, allowing it to actually do anything in the ordinary course of play
{+1.5}[R] Trans Robin can no longer generate corpses or unfinished things, can now properly generate buildings, and can generate books with titles and descs
-Robin can’t generate items that aren’t player-acquirable e.g. mech equipment
{+1.5}[R] Trans Scarab’s cooldown hediff is visible in the health tab
{+1.5}[R] Trans Weaverbird chance for crafted item duplication 150%→50%
{+1.5}[R] Fixed some missing or incorrect fantasy replacement text pertaining to mythic transes

==Other performance improvements==
{+1.5}[R] Transes that create temporary ethereal objects while meditating (e.g. Albatross, Bowerbird, Firehawk, Sea Ice) no longer repeatedly create short-lived variants, but instead just create one and sustain it for as long as the meditation goes on

==Removed mod compatibilities==
-Vanilla Factions Expanded - Ancients isn't making it to 1.6, so neither is the compat for it

v1.0.37
==UI==
-Mod description now mentions the max/min trait mod settings

==Mod compatibilities==
-Cooler Psycasts:
----Woke pawns take 0.75x skipcut damage. One transcendence takes 0.05x skipcut damage
----Two transcendences take 0.25x gamma ray damage
-Fallout Traits Continued:
----Drudge ew/ Idiot Savant, Very/Intelligent, and Very/Scientific
----Tranquil ew/ Gun Nut, Iron Fist, and Poor/Steady/Great Aim
----Imperceptive ew/ Very/Perceptive
----Sense traits ew/ Oblivious
----x Carry Capacity Fixed (Continued): Tranquil ew/ Bandolier
-Lost Factory Mechanoids x [Ideology] x [Biotech]: Mechaphile aw/ Mechanization; Mechaphobe daw/
-Rim Languages x [Royalty]:
----Three transcendences have +25% language learning ability; two have +50%; two have +100%
----Transcendences which gain skill xp in unique ways also gain progress towards learning languages in a similar way. The less frequently the effect is expected to occur, the more progress it grants; if such an effect uses other pawns, it learns those other pawns' languages, but it otherwise learns random languages
-VRE Archon: woke pawns take 0.9x archoblade damage; one particular transcendence takes 0.1x
-YM_ManiacTraits2.0:
----Existing compat for prior version updated to work with 2.0
----Graver ew/ Data Supremacist and Power Supremacist

v1.0.36
==VFX==
-[Royalty] The visibility gizmos that Psychic Blank and Awakened Luminary pawns have are no longer toggles. Instead, they allow you to adjust the visibility of the pawn's aura to one of four settings: always visible, visible while drafted, visible while selected, or not visible. Credit for idea to Steam user Killian

==Improved mod settings==
-Max Trait Count can now go up to 9 (formerly 6). See tooltip in mod settings for more detail on how this impacts childhood with [Biotech]

v1.0.35
==Bugfixes==
-[Royalty] The transcendent hediff cleans itself up within an hour if the pawn it’s on is not transcendent
-[R] Attempting to add a transcendent trait to a non-woke pawn awakens them instead, as a consolation prize for whatever weird mod interaction caused that to happen
