Hello, I’m posting this a day later than usual because I was up programming until 5 am and decided to go to bed instead of working longer.
So I ended up getting some sleep and it is now nearly noon.

There are a lot of changes this week and most of this was live as of last night.

I didn't decide to take screenshots for these because I already am posting the changelog late and I want to get it out and start on the next update. (That and family is visiting me today)

Anyway letsa go...

--Ultra Super Deathmatch., where you have to kill all other factions except wildlife

-Added New Goal
--Last One Standing, where you have to kill just every single faction

-Made wildlife lairs and other factions NOT spawn within 4 tiles of the spawn location of the human player, giving the player 4 tiles of breathing room.

I'm definitely interested in seeing more of your changelogs around here, but if it's a bother, I don't mind checking steam now and then. 

In any case, keep up the great work !
