Major updates: Refactoring work in functions.js and races.js to move trait extra descriptions into the definition for each trait, instead of having an array of exceptions call out when extra descriptions are needed. Should improve maintainability. Extra descriptions can also now access the values of the trait at its current selected rank, allowing the extra descriptions to dynamically change their values on the Trait page in the wiki just like the normal descriptions do. Added wiki articles: -Added a description of Ambush Odds to the wiki article for Hell Patrol Strategy. -Added a description and list of Basic Jobs and Mining Jobs to the Mechanics page. -Added a description and list of technologies affecting the Science Level and High Tech Level to the Mechanics page. -Added a description of Population Growth mechanics to the Mechanics page, including the effects of the Upper Bound and Lower Bound values. -Added missing event articles in the Major and Minor events pages related to the Rogue, Chicken, and Aggressive traits. Minor Updates: Updated wiki articles: -Added information about how much hazards are mitigated by "Partial Mitigation" equipment in the Hazards section of Spire mechanics. -Made it more clear that the Scout Mech reduces 1 percentage point of terrain penalty, and not 1% of the current penalty. -Added missing loot multipliers to the article on Combat Loot. -Corrected article on Ancient Pillars to reflect that the discount for the tower is not always 12, but depends on the difficulty at which the pillar was completed. Wiki UI: -Traits page on the wiki now has some style information added to prevent rank down button from jumping around while being clicked on. Trait Descriptions updated: -Aggressive: Added links to new Events articles about added events. Changed wording to accomodate added events. -Autoignition: Changed wording to reflect the percentage of the bonus that is lost.

Also added information about maximum corpse storage and old age deaths. -Blurry: Added information about how chances of success in espionage are affected.

Added extra description with scaling calculation. -Cannibalize: Added descriptions of the buffs, information about how they interact with each other, and how refreshes add time to the current remaining time.

Added undocumented effect that reduces military crew requirements for ships as well as soldier housing capacity. Added Extra desctiption that shows magnitudes of reductions, interaction with Nanoweave Hammocks, and interaction with Chameleon and Bunk Beds. -Hivemind: Jobs list was incorrect.

Looked through trait descriptions and updated many of them to match the current state of the game.
Wrote new wiki articles for a few previously undocumented mechanics.
Added links to trait descriptions for some mechanics that might need additional explanation.
Refactor of how extra descriptions are handled to improve maintainability.
Did some spot checks to make sure that languages other than English are not broken. It does not appear visibly broken, though LOTE are failing over to using English in the sections with brand new strings (obviously), and barfing in the console not knowing where to put new data that was added to some descriptions (also obviously).
