[The Merchant Of Menace]

How often is butchery supposed to occur? Cuz I got it a while ago and haven't butchered a single enemy despite having killed dozens. Or am I just doing something wrong =p?

@unormal

Suggestion:

Have a variable which says what caused something to happened, eg what caused steam to appear, and have this variable passed on when stuff happens. This way if I use flame hands to vaporise a load of water which kills enemies, I get XP. Would also be useful for later if you implement stuff like poisoning.

*The AI will get angry at the party leader of an object it gets angry at

That sucks for ego based characters. Anyway to tell your follower to not attack neutrals/friendlies. Charmed creatures attack everything.

New patch posted.

Awesome.

*Point-buy for mutations

Mutants are actually... weaker, now, in a sense. Perhaps considerably so. With th'random stuff, it was pretty easy to get three or four 4-5 'point' mutations, sometimes without defect. No longer! Will have to play more to see how it turns out. Still, control is, as usual, a blessing. Thank you~

Interesting that chimera and esper has a cost to it, though. Can see it for unstable genome (which is basically mutation points invested in 'buy mutation', and I guess the way to roll a pure random one now.), but maybe not for those? I'unno, maybe a smaller cost. +3 stats and directed random buy that can't be leveled... Doesn't seem on par with th'other mutations, more along the lines of a minor one. Perhaps 2 points instead of three?

*Readable books and papers

Ahahahaha! Folks, you really want to kill the zealot now. Drops a book that's about as valuable as an energy cell

*Renormalized the charge use of force bracelet

It did last a while, dinnit it?

EDIT: *stares at Argyve* Mortar... tube? Oh dear.

So true men and mutants now have the same stat growth, which was the previous standard mutant growth, right?  That'll make true men not quite as overpowered...

[Tarran]

Wow, all that stuff without breaking save compatibility? That's really great, since I'm still getting some mileage out of my current guy.

*Tinkered items may no-longer be disassembled

Aww, guess I won't get to constantly reuse my cells now.

Edit: Err, I guess it does break save compatibility. Oh well, I was getting bored of that guy anyway(the lack of mutations made it all hack-n-slash with no real flavor).

[Malicus]

Chem cells are incredibly cheap to make if you know how, though, so that's not a huge problem.  I think it was mostly to prevent rerolling a tinkered piece of equipment's extra attributes by building it and fully disassembling it again.

...speaking of tinkering, would there be (or is there?) a chance to learn how to make something by disassembling it, or would that make it too easy and/or too much like TOME's alchemy system?

[Frumple]

Maybe just special case it so that expert disassembly doesn't work on tinkered items? You'd still be able to recoup a lil'bit from junk you made, just not all of it.

Not really a big deal. I've never really tinkered up anything I didn't plan on actually using, m'self, and didn't cotton on to th'breakdown cell trick. Was so cheap to make [energy] or chem cells conservation of bits wasn't really an issue.

This is just a temporary stopgap around a ton of various exploits, it's not a final soluton.

Couple quick tweaks:

*Added a note that unspent MP will be lost after character creation
*Unstable Genome allows you to pick one of 3 random mutations, rather than giving you an entirely random one
1.0.4014.41011

[unormal]

One last set of tweaks:

*Buying a new mutation during play now costs 4mp, up from 3mp
*Esper and Chimera now cost 1 point, but no longer give the stat bonuses
1.0.4014.42310

E:
*Teleportation no longer works on the world map
*Grit gate recoiler goes to the right place
1.0.4015.4061

This game is pretty awesome.
What does registering your copy do ?

It doesn't unlock any content, it's just a shareware model basically; We do appreciate the support from those who have registered!

VVV Yeah it's a known issue, I thought I had fixed it but it's still around.

[mendonca]

Hey unormal, don't know if this has been reported before, but what seems to be a bug on the multiple choice 'mutation buy' screen: I had the option of
1) freezing hands 2)freezing hands or 3)heightened speed.

Didn't bother me, freezing hands is great, but wondered if you wanted it to be a distinct choice of 3 mutations.

[Soulwynd]

Was it at the last version? Cause he said that was fixed.
