Just ran into a neutral, legendary Mechanimist in the surface-level rust wells. His pack of buddies killed a "Warden of the Sanctum" who had also spawned, and now my be-carapaced mutant has a shiny new set of carbide platemail to sell. P.S. What does a prayer rod do?

Is there an 'eat' key I'm missing, or do you have to do it through the 'get' menu every time you want to eat the corpses of your slain foes  ? It would be awfully convenient to have a 1-or-2-key combination for "eat whatever I'm standing on".

I've got a minor suggestion: The random character name generation should work like Angband, where you can press a key to roll a new random name. That way you can roll it multiple times until you get one you like, as opposed to the Qud way where you don't see the random name until after you create your character. e: A second issue. I spawned wielding a few lit torches (multiple arms). I extinguished and unequipped the three of them after a few turns, and they were still labeled as "lit torch (unburnt)", but they didn't stack with the others.

Something on floor 1 of the rustwell just psychically confused me from outside my vision range and tossed me into a space-time vortex. I wish there was some sort of mechanism to keep from dropping you in a totaly-enclosed unescapable box, although at that character level I probably would've died no matter where I ended up.

I just beguiled a legendary mechanimist. Apparently it was a buy-one-get-two-free deal, because his two buddies are still following him around and helping me out. I guess they're technically not my followers, though, so I don't get the XP for anything they kill. Too bad. edit: Okay it turns out my new Warden of the Stilt buddies were hostile to Argyve and Warden Indrix. RIP those guys. e2: The actual mechanimist was a chump, apparently. He died in one hit after picking a fight with an equimax, and his overpowered pals immediately lost all interest in following me around. e3: Oh man, a bug ate my giant pile of blood RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 22, 2015 |

I just died because my own summoned dreadroot (from the Burgeoning mutation) spooked me. I spent 5 turns running around like a headless chicken while an enemy beat me to death. If I hadn't been running in fear from my own plant, I could've just torched the thing with my spiffy new flamethrower. dreadroot

If you're really desperate for fire you can wander down into the asphalt mines and get breathed on by some fire ants. But that's not exactly a controlled environment.

It would be nice if the game automatically generated a daily or weekly seed, so people could play and discuss the same weekly without having to share the seed first. It might also be cool if there was an option to randomize stats/class/mutations, although maybe that would make the weekly runs too difficult.

Unormal posted:I mean we have the character-died scoreboard that takes into account like zones visited, artifacts found, etc. Do scoreboards usually post on death or track them as you play? I never play roguelikes as daily/weekly challenges, which is why I have no clue. The scoreboard stuff is normally just on death, yeah. You might also want to award some bonus points for completing the quests. I know Spelunky gives big score bonuses for winning the game instead of just dying, and for reaching the ultra ending.

Highblood posted:I loving love the carapace+regen build, do you take chimera with it? What other mutations do you start with? I feel like the only time you would want Chimera is if you're playing a low-ego character and starting with lots of Unstable Genome for fun. Physical mutants don't generally have spare mutation points to spend on *new* mutations, so morphotypes are way less useful for them than for Ego-heavy Espers. I wish physical mutations could scale with stats like mental mutations do, but it would be pretty OP since stacking strength/agility/toughness still makes you powerful without mutations too, unlike Ego. Maybe if they only got a half bonus or something. Mostly I just wish that every character archetype could do the thing that Espers do where they get to spend all of their mutation points on cool new powers instead of upgrading existing ones.

MrWillsauce posted:Is there a point to getting the Beguiling mutation when Proselytize exists? I assume that Beguile is more effective or something, but I've never been able to recruit anything very powerful with either of them. I guess if you pick the mutation and the skill you can have two companions. Beguiling gives bonus HP, but really if you want followers it's better to just go with Proselytize and take the Domination mutation. While mind-controlling your buddy you can make them equip gear and even spend skill points from any levelups they've gotten.

DisDisDis posted:I just picked this game back up after a pretty long break. Currently exploring ruins for levels and flamethrowers before I head to Golgotha with a timeclone freezehand stabber. The last time I cleared it was with a scum esper and I'm not sure how to tackle him with a melee character. Freeze him solid and pelt him with electrobows? Five flamethrowers and grenades? (Okay maybe melee character isn't entirely accurate) Is it safe to melee him if he's frozen or will I still catch glotrot? As far as I know Glotrot isn't from the boss specifically but just from getting golgotha-goo in your mouth or something, which can also happen from some of the eel-type enemies pulling you down into it. If you have some, taking a sip of honey every so often can stop a glotrot infection before it really starts.

Unormal posted:We're working on initial stages of a tinker refactor, it's a good time to say (or reiterate) any suggestions/wants/desires around tinkering. My suggestion: make the data disks for items you only need one of (like electrobows) cheaper to buy than the actual weapon. I'm only ever going to use one electrobow, so tinkering's only useful to get it earlier or cheaper than I could buy it from a store. It still makes sense to have expensive recipes for things you'll craft multiples of like grenades, tonics, or cells though.

RIP. I died to Slog in Golgotha. It was after finding a waydroid, so I really should've beelined to the elevator instead of sticking around. It says my most advanced artifact was a shotgun but I had been using a sniper rifle too, and I had taken some rifle skills like kickback and wounding shot to use with it. I tried to disintegrate and then spawn time clones for Slog, but something bugged out and the ability went on cooldown without giving me any buddies. The ideal situation would be sprinting away from him so I could do wounding shots every couple of turns, but I kept running into more enemies so I never had space to do it. I ended up eating 5 salve injectors and a bunch of witchwood bark for healing while running away from the huge pack of enemies I had stupidly attracted, which is why I was confused when I died. e: This was the weekly character by the way.

MrWillsauce posted:I think what happened is that the time clones spawned on another screen. Were you near the edge of the map? This happened to me when I was exploring a ruin and it nearly killed me too. The only thing that saved me was my friendship with the insects. I was left naked and alone being immolated by a dawnglider, and when I barely escaped thanks to some fire ants, and walked to the map transition, there were my time clones hanging out like a bunch of assholes. The bottom of Golgotha doesn't have any screen transitions. They probably appeared on the other side of a wall, inside the elevator room. I was actually deadly afraid of summoning the time clones and I never used them all the way up to that point. I assumed that they would one-shot me with my own disintegration the first time they saw an enemy.

Some day I want to make a multiple-arms double-muscled cudgelman and just permastun everything forever. Although I think it's pretty weak in the early game, and unfortunately double-muscled has some cutoff points where raising it will actually increase the quickness penalty. Going from -6 to -12 speed seems mostly suicidal unless you have some kind of extremely reliable way to get bad poo poo away from you. e: Oh yeah and it would take a shitload of skill points to get the combo rolling. At a minimum you need flurry plus the cudgel daze and stun abilities, and eventually you're going to want barrage and bonecrusher and the rest of the dual wield skills. And since you want to get to 29 strength for bonecrusher you can't just start with crazy high int for all the skillpoints. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Feb 1, 2016 |

Angry Diplomat posted:Double-Muscled works great in conjunction with Multiple Legs. You get an overall boost to movespeed and a preposterous amount of carry weight between the two mutations. Amphibious really deserves a nerf, honestly. It's in the highest tier of defects but has one of the least noticeable effects. Socially Repugnant is probably a billion times worse for water management, but it's only worth half as many points! Here goes nothing:  Hopefullly a value point in Mental Mirror will let me run around with 0 willpower without getting oneshot by Sunder Mind.

Humans Among Us posted:E; I always pick up both the quests and then head to Redrock, i tend to find it a bit easier than Rustwells. Just gotta remember that the Girshling corpse that you gotta pick up is pretty heavy if you run a low strength character. I almost always do the wire quest first and then head through the seeeecret tunnel into Redrock. Before that, you can just head down the entrance to the tunnel right from Joppa to immediately get the XP for reaching redrock, which is probably maybe unintentional. It should trigger when you reach the end of the "waterlogged tunnel" and actually enter the dungeon proper, IMO.

Going from 100 to more-than-100 is a big deal because it means you'll be able to outrun things just by moving in a straight line, but going from 110 to 111 probably doesn't matter that much. You'll be about 1% better at doing everything you do, but 1% isn't a very big number. e: I think the adrenaline control power can get you around 200% when maxed out. Leveling it also decreases the chance to pass out and probably get killed while you're turbocharged, but it still seems pretty dangerous unless you have a teleport or force wall or something so you can get to a safe position during the 3-turn window before you pass out.

He's hard to spot because a.) trees can block line-of-sight and b.) he's the same shade of green as the trees, so you might have to look around for a little bit before you notice him.
