What's new
## [1.2.0] - 2026-10-31 (Lab Manual and Biological Profiles)
### Lab Manual
- **NEW**: In-game Lab Manual, separate from the Biopedia. A player receives it once on first join, and can craft another from a book and iron.
- **NEW**: The chapter list on the left opens a chapter or page directly. Previous and Next remain.
- **NEW**: Organism pages for the human host, Ovomorph, Facehugger, Chestburster, Drone, and Queen. The preview uses the same render scale as the in-world model and leaves room for the full mesh.
- **NEW**: Containment Pen and Specimen Pod pages draw one stacked block scene, with a full-screen viewer. The DNA analyzer replaces a lab block on the bottom layer. Controllers use their registered block model, with the front face toward the camera.
- **NEW**: Interface and operation notes for the laboratory machines.
- Textures and models remain a work in progress and will keep being polished as content is added.
### Biological Profiles
- **NEW**: Biological Profile catalog for vanilla organisms, the human host, and the xenomorph lifecycle forms.
- Each definition records identity and innate characteristics. Xenomorph forms record acidic blood. Facehugger records face hugging, implantation, wall climbing, and leaping. Queen records egg laying and nest building.
- The DNA Analyzer, Containment Pen, and Specimen Pod display that identity and the contributing source. They do not own the biology.
- A spider contributing source can give a Chestburster spider climbing. Further manifestations stay in progress.
### Recipes
- **NEW**: Lab Manual recovery recipe (book and iron) and the injection syringe recipe.
- Other acquisition paths were audited and left unchanged until a recipe row is approved.
