Hello again,
I'll start with the bad news; there were still so many placeholders left in the new Elis/Fields content that I didn't feel comfortable presenting the new maps to you just yet. As such, I've decided to temporarily disable the world map travel (if your character is in the world map, you'll be moved into Dominion when loading into this version), and I'll re-enable it in the next version (in which all the placeholders will be filled in).
Now with the good news; thanks to DSG there's a new side quest in this version, and there have also been numerous other fixes and additions from AceXP, Stadler76, and several other contributors (including quite a few new items of clothing from Sage, C4M, and DSG). There's also a lot of new artwork from Jam (https://twitter.com/JamDrawers) and KT80 (https://twitter.com/KT80AT).
I've also got several bugs fixed, added badgers as a race, made some improvements to Zaranix's content, and a few other things. The vast majority of my work on this version has been on adding the new framework so that map/place/encounter/dialogue can be defined from external files, as well as adding the new maps and NPCs for Elis.
I'll make a detailed post on Monday night about what my plan is for the next version, but in brief I'm going to be focused on getting the Elis/Fields content ready. Sorry that I didn't manage to get it into a suitable state for this version's release.
P.S. Now that 0.4 is released (as incomplete as it is...) I'll go back to the usual preview/full release cycle (so the next version will be v0.4.0.5 which will be a SubscribeStar preview, with the public v0.4.1 after that).
As always, you can also build these releases yourself from the public github's dev branch (which is always kept up to date with the very latest version):
https://github.com/Innoxia/liliths-throne-public/tree/dev
(There's a build tutorial here.)
IMPORTANT: If you're building through github, you'll now need to place the 'liliths-throne-public/res' folder in the same directory as the exported .jar!

- Added feature where if an offspring's father and/or mother has generic wings (feathered, leathery or insect) or horns (curled, curved, straight, etc.), the offspring can inherit them. (PR#1370 by Stadler76)
- Suppressed descriptions of nipples as orifices and transformation options for nipple penetration when that content was turned off in user settings. (PR#1421 by AceXP)
- Added 'Elasticity depth effects' mechanic: If an orifice's elasticity is at least 'limber', its maximum uncomfortable depth is increased, with greater elasticity values increasing it further. This is off by default, but can be turned on in content settings. (PR#1413 by LightCanadian)
- Modified UtilText.java to properly handle a few inaccurate British to American translations. (PR#1447 by TadUnlikely)

- Fixed issue where place tiles were not being populated with regional subspecies in the world map. (by AceXP)
- Fixed some issues with hard-coded values for NPC spawning in the Bat Caverns, allowing spiders to spawn down there too. (PR#1514 by Stadler)

- Added 'vintage field jacket' (over-torso slot, masculine, sold by Nyan). (by DSG)
- Added status effect and set bonus for 'Benevolent Blessing'. These three clothing items are all unisex and part of this Benevolent Blessing set. These items will be used along with the trickster set during the youko content later on, so can only be spawned via the debug menu for now.

- Added BodyPartTag 'HAIR_IGNORE_PLAYER_SETTINGS', which tags hair types as always being present on furry heads, even if the player has 'furry hair' turned off. This is applied to hyenas.
- Added 'genericType' fields for Wing and Horn xml files, so that you can define those types as being generic (not associated with any parent race) or not.
- Fixed spelling error of 'DISBALE_' instead of 'DISABLE_' in SubspeciesFlag values (I added a catch for this in the code so even if your mod has the incorrect spelling it won't break).
- Added 'flags' as a parser target for quicker access to 'game.getDialogueFlags()'.
- Added 'CORRUPTION_LEVEL_' prefix as a parsing hook to the CorruptionLevel enum.
- Added a few methods to the game class to give you hooks to some useful UtilText methods: parseFromFile(); addSpecialParsingString(); and clearSpecialParsingStrings().
- Added support for defining maps (both WorldType and PlaceType classes) as external xml files, which will (soon - hopefully in 0.4.1) allow for map modding.
- Added support for defining DialogueNodes and Encounters as external xml files, which, like the maps, will (soon - hopefully in 0.4.1) allow for scene modding.

- Zaranix is now still called 'Zaranix' when in his feminine form, instead of 'Zoelix' (as the name change wasn't being mentioned anywhere or referenced at all, and didn't make much sense).
- Tidied up Zaranix's post-combat dialogue and added variations for if non-con is turned off, as well as for the player to request Zaranix to transform into succubus form after swallowing his TF potion.
- Made it so that Zaranix's oral sex scenes now start with you already sucking his cock, instead of having to wait for him to deal with clothing displacements first.
- The 'flared' and 'tapered' penetration modifiers are now mutually exclusive with one another.
- Added 'Set spawns' action in debug menu, so that you can easily spawn in all items of any clothing set.
- Added 'light brown' as a covering colour.
- Added elder lilin damage attribute so as to separate lilin and elder lilin damage perks.
- Added functionality to sort saved games by date or alphabetically.
