I just got shockingly far in the weekly seed (almost to the end of bethesda susa before needing to leave due to lack of ammo, then i died messing around in the asphalt mines), as it turns out tinkers with really high ego can be really good if you can get past the early meat grinder. Never did manage to find the glowpad merchant though, that would have been amazing combined with the infinite wine pool i found on the way to mamon.

My child of the hearth cudgeler just finished A call to arms. I'm pretty pumped to have cleared it for the first time, and with a true kin! I thought that that quest was the end of the Qud story line for now. Instead, I got a new quest involving a sentient fungus (Pax Klanq). Is it possible to complete this quest as of now?

Considering how bad Hooks For Feet is compared to a lot of the other drawbacks (including the ever-ridiculous Amphibious), I really think it should have some sort of unique situational advantage that offsets your permanent decrease in mobility by protecting your mobility under certain circumstances. Like granting massive knockback resistance, or making you almost entirely immune to slipping on ooze and oil. A hook-footed slime spitter who murders people in melee while they slip around in gross mutant phlegm would be a really interesting build. e: unless that was done already and I never noticed because I completely avoid Hooks For Feet on principle  Being unable to outrun anything - or even keep pace with it while you scrape together an escape plan - is pretty close to a death sentence for a lot of characters.

S.T.C.A. posted:Correct. But you cannot take the ick until your tongue falls out completely, is my understanding, and my point is that my regen chars never actually had their tongues fall out, which to my understanding means they can never cure it. leave the dogs alone, else my mod NPCs will loving murder you Fun fact: If you take the ick before your tongue falls out completely, it stops decaying which means you will have a tongue that will bleed forever  I have not yet tested if ubernostrum cures that permanent annoyance (aside from contracting glotrot again to make sure your tongue falls off) but it should.

I took hooks for feet with my flying sniper. I really need to do a good sketch of him sometime. Kinda surprised it only boosts movespeed on the overworld though. And of course, this is the run where a traveling Barathrumite gets torn apart by madpoles and hes carrying like 5 spring loaded shoes.

A hook-footed slime spitter who murders people in melee while they slip around in gross mutant phlegm would be a really interesting build. Honestly it isn't THAT bad of a defect, though nothing compares to amphibious' non-penalty. Not being able to wear shoes does hurt, but at the same time sprint can fill in the gaps of whatever you need. Now defects that TRULY suck are ones like cold-blooded, hemophilia and narcolepsy. Having an permanent quickness penalty AND there existing an entire area that further exacerbates the problem makes cold-blooded a pretty awful choice. Hemophilia early on will get players killed incredibly fast if they aren't 's'earching every other step while underground, even if you luck out and manage to get a stockpile of bandages, though I haven't tried grabbing staunch wounds early on with it which could help quite a bit. Finally with narcolepsy, while its sleep effect is pretty rare, if it ever happens in an remotely serious fight your run is over. It could really use something akin to adrenal glands where the game warns you when you're about to pass out. Though if I were to change these + other 4 point defects to be a little more palatable, here's what I think would work well with them: Hooked Feet: Increase PV scaling/give 1 AV/or as diplomat said, reduced slippage chance on slime. Cold-blooded: No default quickness loss/Being outdoors during daytime gives a quickness increase (we ARE in a steaming jungle beside a desert)/increase points value to 4. (Note that I may be talking out of my rear end with cold-blooded, since I have never actually taken it, so I may just look like a gigantic jackass right now) Hemophilia: Maybe add medication into the game that helps coagulation which hemophiliacs start with, but at the same time make it a rare item. This will make the start of the game a little less daunting if you take this defect. Either that or have them start with a shitton of bandages. Narcolepsy: Like mentioned before, when triggered, give the player a few turns before they actually DO pass out or have damage have a chance to wake you up. Also amphibious could use a little tweak to make it actually be disadvantageous to take in some situations, like dehydrating faster when standing in salt water/salt (set it to 2000 drams minimum to trigger of course, otherwise I could see it triggering every time you auto 'drink') and higher temperatures to cause you to dry out faster. It'd still be quite good, but at the same time you'd be forced to adapt your playstyle.

Every time I've taken Hooks For Feet, it has killed me. Sooner or later you're going to end up in a bad situation where Sprint runs out at the wrong time and your permanent speed penalty gives a chaingun turret or something a double turn on you, and then you're going to bite the salt. My experience is actually on the opposite end with Haemophiliac. It's god-awful on fragile characters, but I mean, why the hell would you take it on fragile characters? A bunch of bandages and a willingness to rest frequently have always mitigated it for me, and Regeneration practically nullifies it altogether. Amphibious really is a little absurdly valuable for how benign it is. IMO its point value should probably be 2, but that's just me. Unless you have 8 Ego and Glotrot it's really not that hard to keep enough water on hand to stay alive, outside of, like, repeated trade expeditions to and from the Six Day Stilt.

Even if you made Amphibious -2 instead of -4, it would be the best, no-impact defect. -1, maybe I'd just stop taking a defect at all, but probably would still take it. The others? gently caress all that poo poo. You could make Hooks for Feet immune to knockdown, and I'd still skip what is practical immunity to Glotrot for not having a permanent -10 speed death sentence. Give up a boot slot for no AV and no added melee attack for -2 or whatever? Sure, alright. That plus -10 speed? gently caress nah.

I know there was discussion about how bad it was weeks ago, but getting into the game again i really like the potentially symbiotic fungal infections and continue liking the diseases. I guess there is one people consider a death sentence that i've not run into yet?

It's -10 MOVE speed, not quickness which would be god awful. It still isn't a great defect, but you still can work around it with juke, jump and mutations that affect quickness/movespeed (time dilation, enhanced quickness, multiple feet, etc.).

So, I have glotrot now and part of the cure requires salt. This wouldn't be a big deal if the ichor dealer in the stiltsands had any, but he doesn't. Any reliable place to find salt? Anywho, in the meantime I'm going to see if dilute salt will work in its place. edit: Also cloneling fun!

If you find any oil, I think dropping 1 dram of it and then setting it on fire can leave you with pure salt.

Slight problems to report about the overlay (which i really love for the most part) the main menu seems to only be controllable with the mouse when its on (even if mouse input is turned off). Also trying to save a character build with it on always seems to save it as "," or something. The some item descriptions also do this:  I think because there is no sort of text wrapping so long descriptions just sort of scroll offscreen. The ability to turn up the font size of the overlay log would also be nice, as well as maybe an option that makes it fade out after a set amount of time instead of turns so it doesn't obscure the map as much. Though that could also be helped by making holding alt temporarily remove it. Sorry if any of this has already been reported and/or you aren't wanting to work on usability gripes with the overlay at the moment.

Yeah, I ended up doubling up on diluted salt and it worked. Though my only means to light something on fire was pyrokinesis, so I had to be quick to pick up the canteen before it got destroyed. Also managed to clear the bethesda susa for the first time! Harvestry and skillful harvestry made all the difference there, being able to gather a ton of luminous hoarshrooms to bolster my cold resist in the lower sections of it.

Seems like my previous version save with this new version is a little buggy. Trading doesn't bring up the merchant screen and the game throws an error trying to save when you quit. Newly created game works fine.

Yeah, not guaranteeing save game backwards comparability in Early Access. It'll usually work, but sometimes you'll get subtle or not-so-subtle upgrade issues. You can always finish off a saved game by rolling back to the previous stable build. Could send me an output_log.txt to support at freeholdgames.com just to be sure.
