* {"genericPiercing", X} - adds X universal armor piercing for 1 turn.
* {"meleeDamage", X} - adds X permanent melee KO damage.

+ Dynamic firewall strength tooltip
- TIPDESC for programs now gets {2} argument ("break_firewalls" variable)
- if program has "custom_firewall_break = true" variable set, you can pass custom firewall break value to the tooltip by defining "getFirewallBreak = function( self, sim, player, targetUnit)" function in the program definition that returns an integer.


+ function weighted_list:removeByItem( item )
Removes an item from weighted list by item ID (string).

+ Shop sell limits
Shops can exclude items from being sold if agency already has enough gear of specified type. To add a limit, define item types like below:

simdefs.AGENCY_ITEM_LIMITS = {
disruptor = 4,
emp_pack = 2,
stim = 2,
}

Types are completely arbitrary, any string will do.

Then add desired type to the item via a trait:

teamLimitCategory = "disruptor"

+ simquery.rasterOrthogonalCross( sim, xOrigin, yOrigin, rangeMin, rangeMax, width )
simquery.fillOrthogonalCross( sim, xOrigin, yOrigin, rangeMin, rangeMax, width )
Functions return a table of cells in a + pattern. "Raster" function returns only XY coordinates (format: { X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3, ...}), while "Fill" returns entire cells.
Can also be used to return a square of cells. In that case, width parameter must be 1 higher than rangeMax parameter.


+ simquery.rasterDiagonalCross( sim, xOrigin, yOrigin, rangeMin, rangeMax, width )
simquery.fillDiagonalCross( sim, xOrigin, yOrigin, rangeMin, rangeMax, width )
Functions return a table of cells in a X pattern. "Raster" function returns only XY coordinates (format: { X1, Y1, X2, Y2, X3, Y3, ...}), while "Fill" returns entire cells.


+ targeting.customAreaTarget( game, sim, params, player )
Allows to specify more parameters than default circle.
params must be a table as follows: { shape, rangeMin, rangeMax, width }
shape[/] is a string with 3 valid values: "O", "+" and "X" These correspond to simquery functions to return those patterns of cells.
If player[/] is not nil, cannot target undiscovered or off-map cells.
