I'm in Grit Gate but I can't figure out how to open any of these doors. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've tried bumping them and pressing space/o next to them, but I'm getting no results - not even a message about nothing happening, or anything like that. e: I'm stupid and hadn't actually picked up the quest. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Sep 4, 2015 |

I just stumbled across a Goatfolk camp on the overworld map, then I wandered two screens away on the zone map and found a freshwater weep. If I return to the same square on the world map and > will it take me to the same goatfolk camp or am I going to have to do some exploring and note-taking to find my way back here in the future?Peanut Butler posted:Been playing this off and on since the old free ASCII version, and something about it just clicked the other day- haven't really had that happen in a roguelike, even ones like DCSS that I've put hours into- I'm in the exact same situation, suddenly I understand how to play this game and be successful and I don't know what changed except learning that a Glowsphere in my Thrown Weapon slot gives off light  My multiple arms/multiple legs shortblade stabber is going fantastically.edit: nevermind, when I killed the last of the Goatfolk the camp despawned and it became a regular wilderness map without the freshwater weep

Wafflecopper posted:That doesn't sound right. Each overworld tile is 3x3 of the local tiles. The camp and the weep should both still be there. Maybe discovering the camp took you off the central local tile and your wanderings from there took you into another overworld tile. If you zone into the tile from the overworld map, you should be on the central local tile and the goatfolk camp should be within one tile of that, possibly diagonally. Look around. You should able able to find the goatfolk camp and retrace your steps to the weep from there. The character's dead now so it doesn't really matter, but literally immediately as I killed the last enemy the screen I was on changed to a regular wilderness tile and the buildings/weep disappeared. I'm not sure what happened!

Danger - Octopus! posted:I fell down a shaft into the Underground, and couldn't find any stairs up. After some exploring, I got teleported by something into a smallish area with no way out. I tried binding Move Up and Force Attack Up to keys but they didn't let me dig through the ceiling or anything like that. Other than wishing for a cell for my empty recoiler (which is what I eventually did) is there meant to be any guaranteed way out of the Underground? Even very slowly being able to dig up while starving to death would be a nice option! You can go into the Keybinds menu and bind "Force Floor Up" or something like that to a key, it's just a debug command that moves you up one floor. You can use it until you reach the overworld map. I prefer this to wishing because then I don't have a cheated-in cell at the end! edit: "Noclip Up" in Debug commands under the Keybindings menu deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 01:13 on Feb 24, 2017 |

I stopped playing ninja turtles and four-armed stabbers for a while to try Espers and now that I've got one off the ground I don't know if I'll ever play anything else. Being able to Temporal Fugue + Teleport to Nope Out of any fight while 3+ clones of me throw a bunch of grenades to vaporize the entire room is pretty sweet.

Harvey Mantaco posted:What stats on a mutoid? I'm new and not sure how to axe. Do I need much agi? My build is not ideal and I don't particularly min/max but it is newbie friendly: STR 19 AGI 19 TOU 19 INT 15 WIL 14 EGO 15 I don't use tinkering as much as others and the only thing this build needs to get running are a few axe skills (cleave, charge attack, backswing - and I start as Marauder for Dismember and Butcher) so I leave my Int at 15 but you could easily drop some str/agi and particularly toughness for more int and be fine. I choose odd numbers for the big power spike when I get +1 all attributes. High agi lets you use a gun (which is great with Temporal Fugue since each clone has your gun and duplicate inventories of your own, including ammo). I only use ego for the max rank of mental mutations, not for bonus ranks, and I manually put points into Temporal Fugue but you could spend points on more Mutations instead if you want to go higher Ego. You could drop Toughness all the way down to 10 and probably be fine if you really wanted to, it's a very safe character to play because you can hang back out of line of sight and let your clones do all the fighting. What Tuxedo Catfish said about Clairvoyance is a great idea because then you don't even have to reveal yourself to enemies and you could do that without taking any defects. I just want to be a big hulking clone wizard, personally, and I build my characters mostly around a theme instead of ideal stats. I'm certifiably Bad At Roguelikes and often use Teleport as a gap closer instead of an escape (and I also leave it at rank 1) which is why I work Regen in to it - Charge alone and its 3-tile range just aren't enough for me. It mostly exists for the sake of my clones though, any time I see a tough fight across the map I pop them then hide behind a wall while they teleport in and start cutting everything to pieces. You would be better served saving it to escape. I'm going to try Clairvoyance instead of Regen and dropping some Toughness for Ego next time, because my last character got murdered when my Evil Twin eventually somehow got out of control and had infinite duration on his clones. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Mar 2, 2017 |

I've noticed a bug when turning in Argyve's first two quests with the Overlay UI turned on - when using the numpad to scroll through your list of available artifacts to hand over, the first down arrow press works as intended but the second moves the selection to the dialog window instead of the item selection window, and if you press enter while the dialog window is selected it turns in the first listed artifact. I go through dialog menus really fast off of muscle memory so this has caused me to occasionally hand in salve injectors instead of my intended folding metal chairs or grenades.

I also miss how easy to read the sidebar was, but it gave me serious disorientation issues with the way that it blocked a third of each map, something about not being able to see the entire map made me uneasy.

I have 68 hours played in this game but I still die a lot to Salthoppers in the early game trip to the rust wells. Is there some kind of secret I'm missing with them or do I just need to be better about spotting them and pre-emptively running away? They seem to give every build I try trouble, and they're too fast to run away from if I don't have an escape option yet. I particularly struggle on my True Kin characters because they don't have Teleport or Temporal Fugue to run away with, and having to stick myself with a Salve almost every time I fight one kind of sucks. edit: I know this is nothing new to anyone in this thread but I just want to gush about how much I love the absurdly random power curves and spikes in this game. Sometimes I'll have a character that absolutely everything goes wrong for, still holding a steel sword after a couple hours and barely surviving things by the skin of my teeth. Other times I move two screens away from Joppa and see a honey weep and a caravan being slaughtered by wild dogs, then loot the corpses for an eater's nectar, 300 pounds of fresh water and a folded carbide sword. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jun 28, 2017 |

The answer is that they shoot them at enemies, even if it's e.g. a Salve Injector, though clones have no regard for shooting through each other (or you if you're in the way) so it really just turns into a clusterfuck of needle sharing.

Overlay UI Suggestion: Sometimes the length of an item's name (e.g. Bloody irritable tortoise's left front foot #5) truncates on the Get menu and it stops displaying the item's weight (e.g. "Bloody irritable tortoise's left..."). Weight also isn't shown on the Look dialog, so the only way to check the weight of an item with a long name is to pick it up and view it from your inventory. Weight should always be displayed on the Get menu and should probably be displayed in the Look dialog just because why not

Is it possible to mod in new tinker mods? It seems the tinker mods are stored in Mods.xml but that file doesn't define their effects, just some properties like rarity and what tinker level they require. I haven't been able to find where their actual effects are and I've dug through everything in \StreamingAssets\, are they hard coded?

I used to take Temporal Fugue on pretty much every single character but I've been a lot more successful since I stopped doing that. It was too much of a steamroll button that wasn't teaching me anything about the enemies my clones were fighting offscreen and I would almost always end up dying to their grenades or missed ranged attacks or whatever. These days I say just give me sunder mind, cryokinesis and a dagger and let me do it myself..

After a lucky start with lots of great loot in my first 8 levels (including a dagger with a 12% chance to dismember), I have fully realized the absurd power of clairvoyance + sunder mind + teleport and I am now murdering my way through the mechanimist complex in Bethesda Susa without being seen. I have a stash in Joppa full of heavy weapons and explosives, I crafted a masterwork eigenrifle, and I've found weeps for honey, convalescence, and oil. I finally know how it feels to be a mutated murderbeast  Except the one thing wrong is that I accidentally sundered the quest baetyl and now it's hostile edit: I just wished for another one because I wanted to continue but is there an actual real way I could have regained its trust so I could insert the disk? deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jul 6, 2017 |

Autoexplore also gets stuck when there's a map tile that's supposed to have a chest, but a wall tile spawned where the chest is. I see this a lot in the round ruins rooms with two guaranteed weapon racks. I imagine the chest still exists under the wall tile and is "visible" (since you have light on that tile) to the autoexplore logic. It gets stuck trying to move into that space and saying "the way is blocked by [material]" or whatever.

Did something change recently with the way ranged attacks/accuracy are handled? I've never played a guns-focused character before but I've never had much trouble hitting with whatever ranged weapons I had equipped as a an agi/daggers character, but now I'm trying to do high int/agi and make a tinker that uses bombs and guns and turrets constantly and even with skill points dumped in them I can't hit for poo poo with my guns. I'm finding myself using a dagger anyway because half the time I can't reliably hit something even once before it's next to me. Have I just been unlucky?

Wolpertinger posted:The vast majority of my deaths, and honestly my biggest issue with this game, are how you've got all these randomly generated areas, but 99% of the time if you explore them, even areas /right next/ to Joppa, you'll just see a rocket turret (or worse) and die 1 turn afterward. I used to feel this way but eventually I realized it was a problem with my builds. It sucks that to deathproof yourself you need to take certain mutations, but they're mutations I take anyway now because they're fun. Freezing Hands or (even better) Cryokinesis will take care of rocket turrets, being able to teleport away when autoexplore unveils something mean is basically the escape. A big difference between Qud and other Roguelikes is that there are no consumable escapes. There's not an item that you can use to teleport away when you're in danger, so you need the mutation that lets you do it. I can't really imagine playing this game without Teleport or at least four-legged to sprint away and I feel obligated to take them on every character. It would be nice to see a fairly common consumable that would give me an uncontrolled teleport to a random tile on the same map I'm on, or something.

If you walk around the water in the top-left of Joppa you'll find a crack you can descend in to. It's a starter-level cave full of weak enemies and if you follow the underground river (go straight down until you see it) it takes you all the way to Red Rock underground where the Girshlings are, and to around level 6 by the time you get there if you did Argyve's first two quests before leaving town. Edit: The "safer" start is still wandering around the marshes outside of Joppa and killing Glowfish to stock up on food and get some easy early exp but I don't bother with that anymore, the caves are safe enough if you play carefully.

I just stay away from Slumberlings and move out of LoS when I see them. I don't think I've seen one wake up since I first started playing. The most frustrating thing about the early game to me is that occasionally things like Slugsnouts will see you from outside your light radius, start shooting at you, and kill you before you can react or see them unless you can teleport across the map. Clairvoyance + Teleport takes two turns and they'll get two shoots in on you in the meantime which is enough to kill some squishy characters with bad luck. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Jul 13, 2017 |

I have some feature requests now that I'm playing this game way too much and addicted to it: Baetyls added to the exploration journal (including what they asked for) An "Automove to Edge of Map" button. The stair up/stair down buttons moving me to the applicable stairs is great but I'd like something I can use when exploring underground or in Canyons for example. In wide-open maps I can use the Walk command then press a direction but in some map types it's annoying getting to the edge of a map this way. If I could for example press Shift+W then numpad 6 and the game would automove me around obstacles to the eastern edge of the map that would be cool. Alternately a "Go to tile" command where I could select a tile and have my character move there. An option for Autoexplore to loot bookcases Also updated Bookcase tiles that appropriately show their empty/full status when they have other things affecting them. When a bookcase is frozen or when you hold Alt it's always shown as full, even if it's empty. An option to manually exclude tiles/areas from autoexplore, that way I could still use autoexplore when I know there's a dangerous chaingun room or an unlootable chest stuck beneath a wall tile or when it otherwise gets stuck trying to move into a wall tile. An option to "rest anyway" when trying to rest and an enemy is in vision. A lot of the time resting gets prevented because of an enemy across the map that I can see, but that's immobile or not aware of me. Not being able to rest until Clairvoyance ends sucks when you're doing things like Sunder Mind sniping. Rest Until Healed should either rest until cooldowns are up OR if people are worried about starving, there should be a separate rest until healed button for it. Option to flag items Not for Consumption so that auto-eating won't consume them. A stilt recoiler

I used wishes and the permanent dominate bug to play with a level 55 extradimensional salt kraken as my main character. The Salt Kraken gets its own Psychic Glimmer and esper assassins, and for some reason after I cast Temporal Fugue on him one of the clones decided to stick around forever, so I guess I'm really playing as two level 55 extradimensional salt krakens, that can each individually cast their own Temporal Fugues. Needless to say, I'm playing as several extradimensional salt krakens.

Angry Diplomat posted:I think that's the bug where dominating something and then immediately one-shotting your original body causes your mind to be trapped in the dominated creature forever, which effectively makes it your new body. Yep, exactly this. Kill your original body with your dominated body - if the attack doesn't kill you it'll break domination and then you just wait and cast it again and attack again. I think the dominate target has to be what kills you and deaths to your original body by other things while using Dominate will cause a normal game-over. Please don't patch it out because it rules! It's fun playing the game as Mehmet or another NPC sometimes. Or at least make it a debug command if it's patched out of Dominate. Or give us a parasitic worm genotype where the character we're playing is actually just the worm itself inhabiting the host body of the player we create, and we have an ability to (attempt to) jump into a new body and assume permanent control. PS I want better modding documentation so I can make these things a reality! I'm no expert modder but I can't find half of what I'm looking for in the game files (like tinker mods in order to add new ones).

It's still best to mostly focus on DV over AV though, right? Obviously 0 AV is bad and you need to get some in there, but high AV gear has such high DV penalties that they don't really feel comparable. I recently started trying to make AV-focused characters work and I just can't, you need a ton of AV from what I understand but I'm struggling to get an Esper off the ground and to the point where I'm stacking my AV high if I focus on STR instead of AGI (and lose all the AGI DV plus the DV from Acrobatics). Maybe I should just be running an AGI Ego Projection even though I'm using an axe or mace. I'm a little bored of using daggers on every Esper I play. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Jul 18, 2017 |
