Chronology

• New Weapon:  Tek Sword (Charge-Attack and damages Metal & significantly pierces Armor when powered by  Element)
• New Armor:  Tek Shield (Reflects incoming projectiles/bullets when powered by  Element)
• New Structure:  Tek Light (Attaches to (almost) any surface and can be either independently powered by  Element Shards in its Inventory, or traditionally powered via generators)
• Fixed issue where clients would sometimes become disconnected after demolishing/destroying structures
• Fixed a spawn issue with Ragnarok Lava Golem Mini Boss.
• Fixed the  Bear Trap to avoid  turret exploit.  Bear Traps only damageable by explosion now (or demolishing)
• Reduced  Flamethrower Damage from base 100 per second to 30 per second.
•  Flamethrower Direct Damage is now affected by Armour.
•  Flamethrower expensive foliage particle effects now eliminated for everyone except the local player using the weapon
•  Chainsaw not able to attack whilst running
• Tripled the effective "ammo" of TEK armours, so they last 3x as long per element
• Shield blocks should block whip stuns/item drops (and trigger the cooldown), and whip stun on players reduced to 1 second.
• Implemented a new value to reduce indirect  Torpor ( Poison Grenades, tranq).
•  Chitin,  Metal,  Riot, and  TEK Armours now reduce incoming torpor.
