Our community on Discord has been very active and keeps coming up with more ideas than we have time to implement! Tauntos for example had the idea for a ROOT ability, which we implemented with this patch (we have unlocked this one for you, Tauntos). We also want to thank BOB, Shurutsue, Titan, Lotus and everyone else for your suggestions. This patch is all yours!
