What the 1.0 post adds

Numbers I will quote

Katana damage goes up 25 percent. Super Knife moves from 280 to 224. The Reaper drops one duct tape. Banish capacity becomes 3, 6, and 12, from 2, 5, and 10. The shady merchant has a 50 percent chance to stand behind the trader van, and from day 4 a meeting is guaranteed. Crit above 100 percent can reach a higher tier. Astronaut crit-per-armor ranks 2 and 3, which previously did nothing, become 3 percent per armor per rank.

Ten new weapon names in that post: crowbar, machete, LMG, tommy gun, brass knuckles, flamethrower, desert eagle, mega shotgun, crossbow, and The Grinder. I am not attaching damage lines I did not copy from the post in this pass. The full sentences stay on the announcement itself.
