I am positive it saved just fine and the character was not bugged or anything. I had wished for a couple things if that matters, though.

It looks like you're trying to load an older saved game with a new version. Most updates will break saved game compatability. In some cases it won't, but it's better to assume that it will.

Unfortunately, no. The save game was from the newest version at the time of writing, trying to be opened in the newest version. Unless save files somehow carry over between extracted zips of the public builds, that is.

What is the attack button ?

Just walk in the direction of a creature you're next to.
I get this feeling you've played DF a lot.

Also, CTRL+direction force-attacks things.

Ctrl+direction attacking becomes necessary when you want to hack down that odd mangrove tree that blocks your passage in a narrow corridor, or for simply opening up lines of fire.

Or killing neutral or friendly NPCs, like the Zealot or Elder.

Or to dig walls. It's a really neat feature I appreciate . You can basically make your own dungeons.

So I was tasked the quest 'Raising Indrix' in the jungle village. He told me it was north of the river and I've been following the river for a while, killing madpoles where ever I found any. Is this a quest that's not ready yet or is there a specific location in which I find my target location?

Note that he's not referring to the river that you see on the world map. While inside the village, head north one screen. There should be river there (I'd really call it a stream since it doesn't show on the world map). It generally heads east for a couple screens, then turns south for a couple more. You'll eventually come across a burning village with the quest target.

If you have Overland Encounters enabled, I think it is the purple A a few world map tiles away from the mushroom village.

Actually, having done this on a second character, it looks like the stream's path varies, but you can still follow it to eventually get to the guy. The quest location is a pink g on the world map.

I hate playing low ego tinkerers. Just start a new game as a pack rat tinker with massive strength and physical mutations, and Argyve has a Timecube datadisk. Absolute curiosity as to what this is got the better of me, so I wished for one, which I would have had to do anyway to make since it needed 2 of every top material to make. The end result of using it was, befuddling, lets go with that.

I have to know. Is there a hidden purpose to it? Don't need to know what it is, merely if there is something beyond the obvious.

Edit: Oh my. I think I found the answer. Wow. Quite a nifty item.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I think it's just an Easter Egg item overall, one big reference to the Timecube site.

Nah. I've played with it a bit more. I have gleaned the time cube. Though it is a reference to the site, like the site it has a greater meaning.

Where can I sell stuff ? Is there a place in Joppa ?

[Darvi]

There's a merchant, but I haven't been able to buy or sell anything yet.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

*Ahem*wiki*ahem*

[adwarf]

Nvm I found him, and sold him a couple of corpses, weapons, and shields I got 7 Vinewafers, and 69 Drams of water.

[Deon]

Nuggets are the best currency. They weigh less than water and always cost the same value.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

But you can't douse fires with money if you exchange your water for metal.

[Darvi]

And you can't eat money!

[Deon]

Those are not counter-arguments. I didn't say "replace all water with money", I meant "keep the amount of water you need" and put the rest into currency. Also, stillsuits.

And you don't need water to douse fires. Just spend one turn to stop it.

[Tarran]

But you can't douse fires with money if you exchange your water for metal.

You can grab some salt water. It works too.
