 (+)Pie slices can now be eaten without a spoon.
 (+)Traitor Pest Control Specialists can now buy an old hunting rifle for 7TC.
 (*)Bacon and steaks can now be cooked in the engine burn chamber. Probably not very well.
+(*)Single tank plasma bombs no longer require welding and explode with around double the power, making them more powerful than equivalent TTVs at lower plasma temperatures.
