Notable Improvements:

• Deep Wood Veins will now appear in the Null Sector Zones in Prometheus. This fixes an issue last week where they would not appear on existing prospects
• Stonejaws now take damage while wet if they're enraged, and wetness is removed from them after 5 seconds (the Fire Extinguisher is an effective anti-stonejaw weapon)
• The issue with the Talent Points not always being granted from the Null Sector Final Mission, and the associated exploit with brand new characters has resolved, if you have completed the mission and have the account flag, all of your characters receive the three bonus talent points - once only.
• Teenage Caveworm Fire Resistance has been reduced from -1000 to -100
