REBUILDING CIVILIZATION

This update reinforces the intended progression of Bobochop Unbound,
placing a much stronger focus on metallurgy, long-term survival,
territory control, and technological advancement.

SURVIVAL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Reworked survival guidance throughout the GuideME handbook.
- Expanded camp-building, travel preparation, food management,
  and hydration advice.
- Improved guidance for seasonal planning and long-distance exploration.
- Environmental events can now affect nearby trapdoors during
  Doorknocker encounters.

EARLY METALLURGY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Early metal progression has been significantly reinforced.
- Iron and copper can no longer be obtained through a variety of
  unintended furnace, crushing, melting, and conversion shortcuts.
- Charcoal production, kilns, copper processing, bloomery iron,
  and coke production now play a much larger role in progression.
- Added a dedicated Early Metallurgy chapter to the handbook.

TOOLS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added a new Tool Development chapter.
- Tool progression is now clearly documented from:
  Flint → Bone → Copper → Bronze → Iron → Steel

TACTICAL WEAPON MANUFACTURING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added support for 22 additional craftable firearms.
- Advanced weapons now require significantly stronger industrial and
  metallurgical investment than basic firearms.
- Firearm progression is now more closely tied to resource development.

INDUSTRIALIZATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added Create Recycling.
- Expanded support for recovering materials from unwanted items.
- Updated industrial guidance to better explain automation,
  crushing, washing, and production scaling.
- Industrial machinery now complements metallurgy rather than replacing it.

HORROR CREATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Defeating certain horror creatures now has lasting consequences.
- Some unique entities can be permanently removed from a world.
- Other apex threats return only after a significant cooldown period.
- Regional safety and territorial control are now meaningful goals.

GUIDEME
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New chapters:
- Early Metallurgy
- Tool Development
- Electrification
- Space Exploration

Many existing chapters have been rewritten and reorganized to follow
the progression path of the modpack.

The handbook now guides players through:

Space Exploration

BALANCE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Removed numerous progression bypasses.
- Reinforced intended metallurgy progression.
- Improved integration between survival, firearms, and industry.
- Advanced equipment now better reflects technological advancement.

FIXES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Corrected recipe issues affecting gunpowder production.
- Cleaned up several outdated compatibility integrations.

COMPATIBILITY / UPGRADE NOTES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
