How to be a werecreature guide
« on: February 25, 2012, 02:43:08 pm »
It took me a lot of saves and frustration so I'm posting this.

How to guide:

o Find a den just outside of town that has a naked human in it.
o Go back to town, fill up backpack with water and steal a sack of food.
o Sleep outside shop door for 24-hour intervals. 
o Walk inside if boogeyman appear.  Resume sleeping outside.
o Fast travel one square to allow you to eat more than three portions of food.
o Go back to wereden on a "waxing gibbeous moon", sneak inside, and sleep.
o You might want to save and back up your folder.
o Make sure the werecreature bites you several times - infection rate is not 100%.
o You turn that same moon after resting otherwise you weren't infected.  There is a yellow night creature symbol on your name at the lower left and you will be "hauling" your gear until you drop it on your first fight.

Tips:

shift+w to check weather/ moon phase
( is waxing moon
) is waning
0 is full moon (not to be confused with sun behind rain clouds)

shift+c to turn stance to aggressive (so you will bite, slash people instead of grabbing-releasing them)

Important:
Don't sleep in or around den for more than a few nights, sleep in town - there is a bug that causes leather to generate on the ground and lag the game to a halt.

What kind of towns? The little ones with farms or the big ones?

doesn't matter. Also, just ask if you can sleep inside. They never refuse you. It sometimes bugs out, but I havn't had this yet.

Jam a door with its corpse and let all the goblins in. Hey, nobody said it had to be a weapon against your enemies.

I find it at least as fast, if not less annoying, not to have to ask permission each night.  It gets tedious.  If you sleep outside the door you just walk in, boogeyman vanish, and then you don't have them bother you the remainder of the night.

Unless you wake up outside town... Or on a roof...
