Yeah, the books are great. I just like how mysterious the arcologies are and how you have to piece together an interpretation of what they're about from the names of the castes and what kind of items you start off with. e: but maybe that's dumb.

No, that part is definitely cool, but imagine how cool big arcology dungeons would be. I want to fight a fuming god-child.

Are the wilderness skills worth it? I never bothered with them personally because I glanced at them once and dismissed them as just SP sinks that stopped you getting lost, and I've never found getting lost to be more than a mild inconvenience. That said, looking over them again now I see that each one "doubles the chance of interesting encounters" - is that new? I don't remember that from earlier builds. Does that mean you're more likely to generate merchants, special parties etc. while wandering around? It seems like in that case it might actually be worth grabbing these skills early considering they're relatively cheap?

What's the best place to find cold-resistant clothing? I'm at the point in the main quest where I have to go to Bethesda Susa, but I'm afraid of freezing to death. Also, are there plans for crafting outside the current tinkering system? Although the tinkering system is awesome, it seems kind of odd that you can build a nuclear device with your bare hands but not cobble together low-tech weapons or armor.

The hunter in the mushroom village has some ape-fur clothes for sale, which are cold resistant. Other than that, you just have to keep checking shops or getting lucky.

The hunter is a nonmoving green character in a patch of green trees in the middle of town (mushroom village?? I need to look closer, I guess it's wrong to call Kya goat town). Elastyne Cap is +25 cold resist Homeostatic warmers are an arm item with +8 cold resist Ape fur cloak is +15 Ape fur gloves are +10 I think I know there's more but I'm usually carapaced and don't have to worry once I getan elastyne cap (it's super cheap even with low ego)

If I remember correctly, the only goat in town is the warden, and they all live in giant mushrooms.

Feature friday! *Bows and Rifles got a big refresh. We streamlined the marking system, made everything much friendlier on the UI, and changed all the Fire powers. -Updated power: Draw a Bead (0 sp, 19 agi). You spend a turn to draw a bead on a target and mark it. Whenever you fire at a marked target with a bow or rifle, your agility is treated as if it were 2 points higher for the purpose of determining your accuracy. You may only mark one target at a time. If you lose vision of a marked target, that target becomes unmarked. -Updated power: Suppressive Fire (150 sp, 19 agi). You fire at a marked target. If your shot penetrates, your target is suppressed and can't move for 3-5 rounds. Then your target is unmarked -Updated power: Wounding Fire (150 sp, 19 agi). You fire at a marked target. For each penetration on each shot that hits, your target bleeds 1 point of damage per round (save: 20 + max damage of the weapon). Then your target is unmarked. -New power: Sure Fire (150 sp, 19 agi). You fire at a marked target with no accuracy penalty (the accuracy of your weapon still matters). Then your target is unmarked. -New power: Flattening Fire (200 sp, 25 agi). As long as your target is surrounded by 6 or more solid obstacles, Suppressive Fire is upgraded to Flattening Fire. Flattening Fire also knocks your target prone and disarms them. -New power: Disorienting Fire (200 sp, 25 agi). As long as your target can't see or hear any faction allies, Wounding Fire is upgraded to Disorienting Fire. Disorienting Fire also reduces your target's DV and MA by 4 for 5-7 rounds. -New power: Beacon Fire (200 sp, 25 agi). As long as your target is flaming, luminous, or phosphorescent, Sure Fire is upgraded to Beacon Fire. Beacon Fire shots are also treated as critical hits. -New power: Ultra Fire (300 sp, 29 agi). Cooldown 100. You fire at a marked target. Your shot combines the effects of all the other Fire powers you have. Then your target is unmarked. *Added a new shield mod: Spiked. Spiked shields add bonus damage to Shield Slam equal to your Strength modifier and cause your target to bleed. *Blood-stained neck-ring now increases reputation with baboons *Rejoinder no longer triggers when you're frozen, asleep, prone, paralyzed, stunned or stuck *Shield Slam damage was reduced from (Strength modifier)d4 + Shield AV to (Strength modifier)d2 + Shield AV *Paralyze now wears off properly *The Options menu still loads when there's a corrupt file *The game now suspends when not in focus *Added pillarboxing for ultra widescreen aspect ratios *Fixed a bunch of typos *Fixed hotkey overlap for Psychometry *Fixed some minor issues during Golgotha level construction *Fixed CPU usage going nuts when minimized *Quditor updates: -The map is now draggable and zoomable -Left-click now selects a cell -Alt+left-click now selects the top blueprint in a cell -Ctrl+left-click now places the selected blueprint -Right-click now clears the top blueprint in a cell -Added an "Add 1 <selected blueprint>" button to Cell Contents -Added blueprint searching -Added Save as... -Fixed file browsing

I've used one as an artifex before. It was decent enough to last me until I could afford a laser rifle schematic. I could take out goatfolk villages and stuff pretty easily as long as I was careful.

If you're willing to indulge in some devchat: what tool(s) are you guys using to manage your XML stuff? I'm loving around in my spare time with my hobby project where quests, NPCs, areas, items etc are all XML-defined as you've done with CoQ, and I'm not sure what the best way is of managing increasingly large amounts of XML data, particularly when there's a need to maintain referential integrity. Right now I'm just rolling my own editing tools with Swing but that's kind of tedious and I'm wondering if there's a better way, so I'm curious how you did/are doing it.

Sometimes the beta build is a little ahead of the default one, usually they're the same. It's not in the Beta build yet, I'm still mucking with the behavior, though hopefully v1 will be up this week sometime.

I stuck a version with an early version of the overlay log up on the Beta branch. Go into UI Options to enable it, if you want to try it out. I'd appreciate feedback/ideas on what you'd like out of it.
