Hanzoku:  Confirmed the no ranged weapon thing.  I've seen some strange pathing bugs, like some native aliens seemed to hit an invisible wall and not advance past that point.  But it is very inconsistent. 

Injuring creatures does also seem to have a paralyzing effect.  I hadn't noticed because the movement of larger mobs of creatures often masks the behavior of any individual, but now that you mention it, it is definitely there.

The game is just too easy right now, especially due to the fact that once you have any ranged attack at all, you can shoot enemies until they're dead, since for some reason they rarely move when you shoot them. 

The invisible wall is where the planet wraps around, monsters can't pass it, and neither can your shots.  If you do try to shoot past it, weird stuff seems to happen, mostly you shoot a big line of terrain behind you.

It's fun for a little while, but once you get the idea, it's just so easy it feels pointless.  Autoexplore also needs some work, it's really slow, and stupid about enemies and hazardous terrain.

Sorry to necro (really sorry!) but does anyone have the link to where the latest builds are uploaded?

I was under the impression that they were no longer available on the standard site and there was a 'nightly' (almost...) type depository somewhere?

I loved this game, but i quit after a week or two because I was just awful.

it's a really great game.  try the latest version. 

per the previous page of this thread, there are several pathing issues with the AI in the current version that make it pretty exploitable and easy.

are ship vs ship battles still weird? I couldn't figure them out when I played. it never went well.

Ship battles I always ran from until I had a much better ship.

Do enemies still just... stand there while you shoot them? 

It was a fun little game for a while, but last time I played it, it needed a bit more work to move from time-waster to a real game in my opinion.  And it doesn't sound like it's going to get that work.

That is a bug in the latest version, but it wasn't there in older versions.  I'm not sure how far back you have to go for it to be fixed, but all the historical builds are still there for download I think.

Huh. Neat. I'll have to try to remember to come back and download the new version when it is out.

[BigD145]

I'll download it for sure.

[cartmann]

Yeah if someone could drop a line when it's out, been a damn long time since I last played this, I'm excited to see what's gone off since I last tried it out.
