Improvements

(Thanks Vallivanting!)
Fixed a rare case of infinite recursion when hovering over a "Use Hovered Item" action slot. (Thanks Goliat!)

Balance

Increased the amount of natural cave spawns across all biomes.
Reduced or removed the chance of gaining runes based on the tier of territory you are in.
The "Auto Pickup While Moving" option has been removed in favour of the action slot "Auto-Use" and "Target Hovered Tile" options, which obey the same turn-passing rules as manually picking up items.

"Runekeeper"

New

When two items have the same effective tier for an action, instead of choosing the one of higher quality as the "best" item, the game now chooses the item with the higher base action tier (ie, the action tier when the item is normal quality), due to the base being higher implying that the item is better suited for the action. (Thanks riftborn!)
Stat gain messages now display the skill that caused them to raise.

Quickslots now have a highlight animation when being used.

Improved the graphics for wooden gates, especially when opened so that they are more apparent that they are open.
Increased performance of the main menu & load game menu when many large saves exist.

Balance

Merchant NPCs will no longer spawn completely randomly when a new island is generated but rather can spawn near abandoned houses and other pre-generated templates (in addition to player-built bases).
Increased the spawn cap of merchant NPCs and is based on the number of buildings (walls/floors) are constructed on an island.
Giant rats and spiders no longer spawn at 0 reputation (at the start) on coastal islands.
Aberrant creatures will no longer spawn at neutral (0) reputation, meaning they won't spawn on world generation with default reputation settings.
Increased amount of guaranteed items that are in treasure map treasure chests.
Sharks will no longer be aggressive towards players that are not in water.
Lit doodads (campfires, furnaces, etc.) and fires can now produce hotter temperatures (depending on their fire stage/level of stoking). (Thanks Anketam!)

Friendly merchants will no longer walk over plants that can be trampled.
Re-balanced many weapon/tool gathering capabilities with the new "Chop" and "Mine" properties applied. There will be a bigger gap between the two depending on the weapon/tool. Many weapons will perform worse as tools now as a result.
Scales and animal hides no longer count as "fabric". Other fabric types and sources now drop and are found more commonly to compensate for this.
There is now a chance of dismantling items into one higher quality, but also a greater chance of producing lower qualities as a trade-off.
Tweaked resource gathering item quality slightly so that quality items drop a bit more frequently at lower skill/tool tier levels especially for resources that have an increased quality.
Increased the extra durability given with the "Crafter" milestone modifier. Durability is now doubled (up from 1.4).
You can no longer gain multiple skill points (decreasing reputation each time) per single chop/mine/gather action.
Chop and Mining (previously gather) actions reputation loss will now be affected by tool's action tiers.

Increased the time you can be without seeing a merchant NPC before it has a chance to wander away.
Increased weight bonus granted from boats' paddle action tier by 2.5x.
Boats' paddle action tiers no longer decrease the stamina reduction of carrying too much weight while sailing.
