							Heartbreak pottery sherds no longer generate in suspicious sand in trail ruins, as the block no longer generates in the structure.
							Due to the split of the archaeology loot tables of trail ruins; heartbreak pottery sherds are now in the rare loot table.
			23w17a				The probability of the heartbreak pottery sherds generating in trail ruins has been changed from 1/11 to 1/12.
							The player now gets the advancement "Respecting the remnants" when they brush a suspicious sand or a suspicious gravel to obtain a pottery sherd, and "Careful restoration" when they craft a decorated pot using 4 pottery sherds.
