How do you cook stuff?

[beorn080]

Meh. Give me a good pistol, lase, force bubble, and force wall any day.

No clue on the cooking.

What weapons count as cudgels?

[shaihulud]

hello all, i just wonder is this game playable in console mode at all or is it just me. I was facing this wierd problem once i got into the main title screen, everytime when i try to press a buttom the console box just kept resizing itself, and when i actually trying to start a game it just keep resizing till it crashes...

anyone knows why? thanks

On difficulty: I'd say it is pretty easy. It's still a roguelike and there are still some "gotchas!" until you learn it twirks*. Beta is beta, so some things don't work or need tuning. AV is king, raise it at the expense of everything.

Cooking: doesn't exist, you eat food raw. You can also eat corpses and it looks to me like there is no side effect in most cases (not like DCSS where you might get Sick, for example), unless you're eating while you're already full/quenched. Supposedly with the Butchery skill you'll collect way more food than you ever need.

Cudgels: any blunt weapon. Staves, hammers, clubs.



*Example, use the world map to get to Redrock for your first quest, don't walk there via the regional map: you might run into creatures that you just can't deal with yet, and if you do't have any means of sleep/freeze/stun you pretty much can't escape them, and I don't think the guys at Joppa will help you kill them if you can even get there in time.

Actually, I'd walk to the rust caves first and ignore redrock initially. Much safer.

So I've been using a chaingun I found schematics for and built right away. This thing... Only problem with it is the huge amount of slugs it swallows up. Anything I point it at dies messily.

What did you expect from a chaingun? Sniper rifle accuracy?

You know, there are scoped versions of all of the guns I've seen so far....

I thought I was joking when I typed this post. I just built a scoped chaingun. Nothing is real anymore.

You'd think they'd freak out if a crazy mutant dashed through Joppa digging through all walls in his path, but no.
Hehe.

[beorn080]

Figures. I dive a rust cave, run out of ammo on the 3rd floor, and start gathering up items to do a bulk recoiler back to joppa to buy out the data discs, and I stupidly get an overflow from stacking too many items. I think it may be time to double the size of the array.

That character was doing amazing too, just picked up burgeoning as 5th power.

Edit: Speaking of burgeoning, I took that unwanted germination defect to test it out, killed Tam accidentally after about 5 turns. Fortunately, no one turned hostile to me, and the plants don't seem to attack me, but that might be because I also have burgeoning.

So, I was messing around with the wish command since it has a tendency to produce interesting objects, and I decided to wish for an "8". It sent me to an endless undefined area with a diffrent world map, called "SerenityWorld". That was...unexpected.

Scoped rocket launcher, man. Scoped rocket launcher. The chaingun vaguely makes sense if you fire in bursts, but the rocket launcher...

Yeah, found that place myself with crazy wizarding before. No enemies, trees everywhere, it's... kinda like someone's idea of heaven. If I had to guess it was made for the dev to play around.

Interestingly enough, wishing for Girsh Mother I-can't-remember-how-to-spell-the-last-part gave me an empty cage.

swarm racks seem to be a bit overweight ... 150 would be ok, but 1500?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't think you're ever intended to use swarm racks as anything more than a stationary weapon, if that. The only things that I've ever seen carrying one are Chrome Pyramids, which should probably be a hint to their intended use.

So where do you all usually find merchants at? I just got an incredible luck-out and found a dromad merchant two screens north of Joppa. He sells some really interesting items including one that costs around 1100 drams. I can only spectate as to what the hell that is.
