#update
There is no new story content. Instead this update is about the heritage feature system.
By popular demand, I have overhauled the heritage feature system to allow for multiple features (at the moment, up to 4 which may be too much). This also allows for mixing of different features from different races.
There is one new heritage feature: face fins. And a pretty beefy codex entry for races (WIP like everything) of about 3.5 k words. The codex etc. have not been included in word counts. In total the codex entries are ~ 5k words so this new one makes up most of it :D
This required the editing of all instances of a feature being mentioned! So I am sure I missed some. Therefore, I would like to ask for people to test it out, and report instances of odd behavior to me with details of their choices! This is why I am making this a separate update instead of just waiting until I have more story content! If this is not properly implemented now, then it will be a huge pain in the future.
To see the most amount of heritage feature mentions, when looking in the mirror in C2, do the feature customization before focusing on just your face!
Being able to choose a number of features may result in clunky text where there is a sentence about each feature in a row. For example the new screenshot.
This I have no idea how to do any other way, I cannot write combination specific text, that would require far too much fiddling. Also with the amount of individual features, that would be an eternity project since there are dozens of combinations.
Other things/specific notes:
