Unfortunately you have to start a new game for the newer effects of 3.1 to come into play. 3.2 is currently in an early stage of testing, we have not implemented everything we want to, in fact a lot of the smaller changes haven't been made yet. I plan to get a newer version of the 3.2 out to the testers this weekend, hopefully, but no promises.
If you would like to sign up for the tester group just go
here.
If you want to visit the feedback section and post any ideas about the mod, you can check those out
here.
Thank you for your interest in the mod, especially with the huge delay we had for the lasy few months. Hope to see you around.
