Cataris

- Changed: Thermal Device Room South: The connections to the thermal door that closes after using the thermal device now logically remains open when door lock rando is disabled and the "Can Slide" and "Shoot Beam" templates are satisfied. This is a handwave that makes the thermal device no longer a dangerous resource.
- Changed: Single-wall Jump trick in Cataris Teleport to Artaria (Blue) now requires a slide jump.

Metroid Dread

- **Major** - Added: Elevator and Shuttle randomizer. The destination is shown on the elevator/shuttle's minimap icon and in the room name, if enabled. This will show different area names to the logic database for some items.
- **Major** - Added: Split beams and missiles. When playing with non-progressive beams or missiles, each individual upgrade provides a unique effect instead of providing the effects of all previous upgrades.
- Added: An in-game icon will appear if the player becomes disconnected from the multiworld server.
- Changed: The Starter Preset and April Fools 2023 preset now have non-progressive beams and missiles, instead of progressive.

Logic Database

- Added: Diagonal Bomb Jump in Ferenia - Speedboost Slopes Maze.
- Added: Diagonal Bomb Jump in Burenia - Main Hub Tower Top, to the Missile Tank, using either Gravity Suit or an out of water bomb jump.
- Added: In Dairon - West Transport to Ferenia, use Wave Beam to push the Wide Beam Block from above, without Wide Beam.
- Added: Logic to handle having Ice Missiles without Super Missile.
- Added: In Ghavoran - Teleport to Burenia, Cross Bomb Skip using just Morph Ball to get to and from the Pickup. Rated one level higher than the corresponding usage with Flash Shift or Spin Boost.
- Added: Ledge Warp usage to flip the spinner in Ghavoran next the Transport to Elun, and in Elun to release the X.
- Added: All Chozo-X encounters now have energy requirements.
- Changed: Added Wide Beam to missile farming during Kraid's fight.
- Changed: Fighting Kraid in Phase 2 without going up is moved from Beginner Combat to Intermediate.

- Changed: Dodging in all Chozo-X fights now has Flash Shift as trivial, Spin Boost with Beginner Combat, and nothing with Intermediate.
- Changed: In Dairon - Teleport to Artaria, breaking the speed blocks is no longer "dangerous". This is done by removing the "Before Event" condition on breaking the blocks from above.
- Changed: In Artaria - Water Reservoir, breaking the blob is no longer "dangerous", as long as Slide is not randomized. This was previously dangerous because there's a connection in EMMI Zone Exit Southwest that makes use of Speed Booster, however, by simply adding a "Can Slide" option on the same condition, the logic now sees the blob as safe.
- Changed: In Burenia: Fighting Drogyga is now only "dangerous" if Highly Dangerous Logic is enabled. This is achieved by adding a Highly Dangerous Logic constraint on all instances where the logic uses "Before Drogyga" on connections in the Underneath Drogyga room.
- Changed: Move victory condition to after Raven Beak, and encode all requirements to finish the escape sequence to that connection. This avoids having a "dangerous" resource at the end of the game.
- Changed: In Burenia - Main Hub Tower Middle, lowering the Spider Magnet Wall is now "dangerous" only when Highly Dangerous Logic is enabled. The connection from the bottom of the room to the Pickup Platform that uses Grapple Movement requires the Spider Magnet Wall to not be lowered now requires Highly Dangerous Logic. The randomizer currently doesn't have the necessary options to make this connection mandatory in any seeds anyway.
- Changed: Most instances of pushing Wide Beam Blocks by using Wave Beam through walls now no longer need Wide Beam. Notable exception is Dairon - West Transport to Ferenia, from below.
- Changed: Boss fight logic using Ice Missile without Super Missile is no longer an option, and effectively requires as many missiles as with normal Missiles.
- Changed: Boss fight logic now understands how damage values work with Split Beams behavior.
- Affected bosses: Robot Chozo fights, Chozo X fights and Raven Beak.
- Having only Plasma Beam or only Wave Beam is only used to fight the Robot Chozos, at Combat Intermediate.
- Having both Plasma Beam and Wave Beam is considered as the same bracket as only Wide Beam.
- Having Wide Beam and Wave Beam is considered as the same bracket as Wide Beam and Plasma Beam.
- Changed: Exclude Ghavoran door between Flipper Room and Elun Transport Access from being shuffled as a Grapple Beam door in Door Lock rando. This is to enable a Ledge Warp to flip the Spinner from below.
- Changed: In Ghavoran - Flipper Room, rotating the flipper the normal way can now be in logic before having pulled the Grapple Block at Right Entrance or having turned on Power Switch 2 in Dairon, if Transport Randomizer is enabled.
- Changed: Revised logic for fighting Corpius
- When using missiles without an ammo requirement, the X must not have been released.
- Using Cross Bomb is moved to Combat Beginner
- For Missiles, Super Missiles and Ice Missiles, the number of required missiles is reduced by 1, which matches the pre-existing comments. These alternatives remain Combat Intermediate.
- For Missiles, Super Missiles and Ice Missiles, these can now also be used without combat tricks, but you need 1.5x as many units of Missiles ammo as the combat trick version.
- Added Storm Missiles.
- Fixed: A typo in the room name Ferenia - East Transport to Dairon has been changed from East Transport to Darion.
- Fixed: In Burenia - Teleport to Ghavoran, to open the Plasma Beam door from below, add requirement to have Plasma Beam. This becomes relevant with Separate Beam Behavior.
- Fixed: In Artaria - Teleport to Dairon, to enter the teleport itself using Wave Beam, add requirements to have Wide Beam and Door Lock Rando being disabled. The former becomes relevant with Separate Beam Behavior.

- Changed: Reduced the difficulty of the Wall Jump in Dairon Teleporter to Artaria, to reach the pickup from the teleporter, from Advanced to Intermediate.
- Changed: Using Wall Jump Advanced to climb across Moving Magnet Walls (Small) in Cataris, aka Adam Skip, now correctly requires Spider Magnet.
- Changed: The Upper Tunnel from Burenia Teleport to Ghavoran to Main Hub Tower Middle has been converted from a Morph Ball Tunnel to a Slide Tunnel. In order to use this tunnel with Slide, Gravity Suit is also required.
- Changed: In Burenia Teleport to Ghavoran, using Power Bombs to get back up from Early Gravity Speedboost Room now requires 2 ammo units of Power Bomb. The purpose is to account for using one unit on the way down in the first place.
- Changed: Water Bomb Jump in Artaria First Tutorial, after adding the water has been changed to Infinite Bomb Jump.
- Changed: Infinite Bomb Jump in Artaria Screw Attack Room to jump out of the water under the Recharge Station has been changed to Water Bomb Jump.
- Changed: Water Bomb Jump in Burenia Underneath Drogyga to get the pickup is now Beginner with Cross Bombs.
- Changed: Water Bomb Jump in Burenia Underneath Drogyga to get up to the left ledge with Cross Bomb is now Beginner.
- Changed: Bomb Jumping to the upper part of Ghavoran Map Station Access now requires Water Bomb Jump Intermediate with Normal Bomb and Beginner with Cross Bomb. This was previously trivial with both of those.
- Changed: Bomb Jumping to the upper part of Ghavoran EMMI Zone Exit Southeast with Cross Bombs is changed from trivial to Water Bomb Jump Intermediate.
- Changed: Bomb Jumping to the upper part of Ghavoran EMMI Zone Exit Southeast with Normal Bombs is changed from Infinite Bomb Jump Intermediate to both Water Bomb Jump Intermediate and Diagonal Bomb Jump Intermediate.
- Fixed: Correctly require breaking the blob in Burenia Teleport to Ghavoran to be able to go from Main Hub Tower Middle to Teleport to Ghavoran through the upper Tunnel.
- Fixed: Burenia Hub to Dairon Transport Blob from Below giving the wrong event resource.
- Removed: Use Cross Bombs to skip the blob submerged in water in Artaria Early Cloak room. The point of this connection is to skip breaking the blob, which is no longer dangerous when you have the Morph Ball.

Metroid Prime

- Changed: Divided the "Other" tab into "Quality of Life" and "Chaos".
- Changed: QoL Game Breaking, QoL Cosmetic, QoL pickup scans, Varia-only Heat Protection and Deterministic RNG settings are now always enabled. A new chaos option "Legacy Mode" has been added as a catch-all replacement, including the PB Refill from 5.8.0.
- Changed: Pickups can be configured to take away some of an item instead of giving more (e.g. missile tanks could take away missiles when collected).
- Removed: One-Way door lock randomizer has been removed. This has actually been the case since 5.3.0!
- Fixed: The "Unlock Save Station doors" option should now correctly unlock them.

Logic Database
