Balance.eco.template
Removed: "SkillGainMultiplier" config variable due to not providing sufficient capability for balancing, please switch to and use "SkillCostMultiplier" in Difficulty.eco instead.
InitialSpawn.eco.template
Changed: Configuration file and template renamed from "Initial Spawn" to "InitialSpawn" - please make sure to rename your local configuration file.

Added: "DisplayOnlyAdditionalSpawnPoints" config variable, determining if only the configured additional spawn points should be displayed and selectable - defaults to "false".
Rooms.eco.template
Added: "PaintedBlockTierBonus" config variable, determining by how much the tier of a room increases when every block belonging to it is painted - defaults to "0". The increase of tier happens in a curve - the more blocks are painted, the more the tier increases towards the maximum value configured here.
Added: "PaintedBlockHousingBonus" config variable, determining by how much percent the housing score of a room increases when every block belonging to it is painted - defaults to "0.2", equalling 20%. The increase of housing score happens in a curve - the more blocks are painted, the more the housing score increases towards the maximum value configured here.
Added: A new category "PollutionPenalty" that contains the settings following below, allowing to reduce the housing score of rooms that are affected by ground pollution.
Added: "Enable" config variable, determining if the housing score of rooms affected by ground pollution should be reduced by a housing score reduction curve - defaults to "false", but is planned to be enabled by default in a future update.
Added: "PollutionValueWherePenaltyStarts" config variable, determining the average ground pollution value of a room at which its housing score starts to get reduced - defaults to "0.2".
Added: "PollutionValueWherePenaltyStopsIncreasing" config variable, determining the average ground pollution value of a room at which the reduction of its housing score reaches the maximum - defaults to "2.0".
Added: "MinPenaltyPercent" config variable, determining the minimum reduction of housing score in percent - defaults to "0.0", equalling 0%. This is the start value of the housing score reduction curve.
Added: "MaxPenaltyPercent" config variable, determining the maximum reduction of housing score in percent - defaults to "0.25", equalling 25%. This is the end value of the housing score reduction curve.
Added: "PenaltyScalingMode" config variable, determining by what method the housing score reduction curve is calculated in relation to the ground pollution value - accepts "Linear" (Constant increase), "Exponential" (Slow increase at the start, fast increase towards the end), "Logarithmic" (Fast increase at the start, slow increase towards the end) and "DoubleSigmoid" (Fast increase at the start and towards the end, but smooth in the middle) and defaults to "Linear".
Users.eco.template
Added: "HidePlayerPositionInTooltip" config variable, determining if positions of players should be hidden in tooltips - defaults to "false".
