Changed

• Weatherly now makes you faster to windward. Each rank narrows the dead zone and points the sail's push toward the bow inside the arc it opens, so a fully carved card moves your best upwind heading from 52 degrees off the wind to about 36, roughly 71% faster. Dead upwind still stalls, so tacking is shallower rather than gone. It used to only narrow the zone, which did nothing you could feel: the game aims the sail's force sideways near the wind, so every heading the card opened was slower to windward than vanilla's own best.

• Weatherly's capstone makes you row faster rather than tack faster. Rowing is a separate force from the sail, and it is what you are left doing when you still cannot point high enough. It applies forward and back.

  discuss

• Weatherly and its rowing capstone apply only to a ship you are steering, read from the helm itself, so a passenger cannot sail someone else's boat on their own runestones.

  discuss

• With Weatherly carved, the wind ring's black dead zone narrows to match. It used to keep showing vanilla's, so the boat sailed with the wind pointer sitting in the black. The black now ends where the sail is half drawn, on both sides of the bow. Without the card the ring is untouched.

Fixed

• Far sight and Weatherly did nothing in 1.3.0. Their patches were written but never registered, so no map widened, no dead zone narrowed and no boat rowed faster, and a fully carved Weatherly sailed exactly like none. Nothing failed and nothing was logged. Both work now, and Rist checks at startup for any patch that was written but never applied, and logs an error naming it. If you spent picks on either in 1.3.0, those ranks are kept and now take effect.

  discuss

• Several runestone values showed as raw numbers. Far sight and Weatherly read "+0.1 map sight" where they meant +5%, and Tireless's capstone read "-0.2 m_runStaminaDrainModifier", with no name and the value rounded to the wrong number. They read as percentages now, and Rist warns at load if a card's value would be shown as a raw fraction, so the next one is caught before it ships.
