For some advanced weapons / artifacts whatever, instead of data disks you could find a broken or incomplete version and then you use tinkering to get it into working condition.

I like to think that Ualraig is just some schmuck who started hanging out on that corner all the time, and nobody wanted to be the one who had to convince him to leave, so eventually they just started telling everyone he was the Warden to save face.

By the way, do you attack with each hand when Helping Hands are equipped?
They have the same chance-to-attack as extra arms do, so usually not a lot, but you can upgrade it by taking the right skills.

why does the game say mutated humans have moderate starting attributes to true kin's high, when they get 4 more allocation points in chargen

are the extra +2 stat points from caste vs calling that valuable?

True Kin attributes start at all 12s, mutants start at all 10s.

How does auto-eat decide what to munch on? Can I carry around tacos as trade goods or should I stash them somewhere?

Stash them. I dunno the rule, but it can and will eat yuckwheat and other extremely valuable things as a snack.

Captain Foo posted:

What is an Eigenrifle supposed to be? I don't understand that prefix in the context of weaponry...

It's a math joke. An eigenvector of a linear transformation is a vector that doesn't change (well, it gets scaled, but it doesn't move or change direction) when you apply that transformation to it. For instance, if the transformation is a rotation, then the (real) eigenvector is along the axis of rotation.

And then somebody in Qud made a weapon out of it... somehow.

I want coffee in Qud because
1. It's a vaguely Middle-Eastern setting

The only coffee in Qud is the hyperphasic trilatte, invented by the Sultan Tammberqas after she had a dream in which she made war on a tribe of sentient coffee beans.

Not sure, this is the second You are destroyed report I've seen in the last week or two that seems spurious. I'll push some logging to see if I can track it down. Last time the cause was a weird confluence of bugs causing the player to tinker-disassemble himself.

But how many bits did he get?

If you get a chute crab section, run. Recoiling out and trying a different path is probably your best bet. Chute crabs do not gently caress around, and you absolutely cannot fight your way through.

I love the thought of your adventurer panic-eating an entire corpse so they can escape from the rockets barreling down on them.

Be specific; you're panic eating an entire twisted pandimensional spider demon corpse.

Dude, if you were a sweet-rear end giant deathworm and your worm buddy Kyle dragged you and the rest of the guys out to this "totally sweet party"? But when you got there it turned out that instead of a sick beach deal with booze and whatever it was this weird religious thing? And Kyle was all like "you gotta throw away all your artifacts, Chad, we're not worthy of 'em"? Man, you'd be pissed too.

In 32, after consulting with fungi, Zarmaqazz traveled to Artan Marsh, where she performed half of an A-Button press. Afterward, the fungi were so enlightened that Artan Marsh was renamed to Zarmaqazzabad.

I mean, in a sense, having 3 lives is really the same as having one life, but with a few automatic, one-use, instant teleports. There's nothing wrong with having get-out-of-danger-free cards in your game, whether you call them "extra lives" or "scroll of blinking." The problem is when they're infinite and reliable.

e: In practice I think TOME's default mode gives you a feeeeew too many lives. You get to the point where you stop paying attention because you can screw up like 6 times without actually losing. 2-3 is plenty.

I got to that spindle place after b. Susa. Are those plant things supposed to look like people or is that unfinished content? Also, how the gently caress do you kill them and their wasp buddies? Place was a hard wall for my joke punching only build that ended up being my best character ever.

If you find random stuff that looks like watervine farmers and clearly shouldn't, let me know. But in this case, if I recall correctly, the monsters themselves are placeholders, which sort of answers both of your questions.

megane

Yeah, but what I meant was: the reason gelatinous palms in particular don't have real sprites is because they're placeholder monsters and might get removed when the Spindle is finished.

If a monster in, like, Bethesda Suda had this problem, it'd need fixing, since I'm operating under the impression that I finished all the monsters there.
