the -console worked, and this game is amazing. It is kinda easy though. I haven't played a rogue-like for a while but this seems really easy. I am a regular human, Praetorian, still using the starting sword, but have a shit-ton of guns, grenades and health injectors. A swarm of those buggers (the purple x's) almost killed me because I was damaged from before, pulled out my guns 1 by 1 and raped them. A musket, shotgun, revolver, and the starting rifle.

Just FYI; Lots of good bugs fixed over the last couple days, check the private patch thread below. Every time I post in it, I've uploaded a new build. So grab the latest next time you fire it up! Glad you guys are enjoying it!

Oh, thanks for linking to that thread.

I must say, this game is quickly taking up a lot of my time.

*Reduced steam damage

Thank goodness. That was needed. I mean, 24 damage from steam alone instakilled me once.

*Reduced the quills level of Quillipedes to 3 from 5

...

*Evil laughter* Looks like I'm going to be able to get some revenge soon.

Also, anyone who is trying to steal from Argvye, the elder or the trader in the latest version.

NPCs will return to their home location if they get bored and have nothing to do

That means it won't work anymore. So you're going to have to skip stealing from them.

Also, the elder is ridiculously easy to kill despite being at impossible difficulty. So you can just kill him while the door's closed and no one will care. I suggest you finish the watervine eater quest first though, otherwise you won't get the reward for finishing it.

This game is crazy good, and seemingly came out of nowhere. I've only tried mutant so far, but it has been a lot of fun. Wings let me use my revolvers out of the range of things that would have otherwise wrecked me. Flaming hands is fun. Space-time vortex is... dangerous.

[Singularity-SRX]

Just wondering, but is it a bad idea (for later in the game) to kill argyve?

I know he sells data disks and scrap, and supposing you buy it all, does it restock with different stuff? If so then I may be screwed going on the tinker-path 

[Keiseth]

I was wondering about restocking in general. I need more lead slugs, and they are currently at a premium. Irritatingly, the dromad is also out of all food items! I can't find a key to sleep the night away, either, so I'm hunting and foraging to survive despite a massive amount of fresh water to sell. (120 lbs or so of it!)

*Reduced steam damage

Looks like its time to have another game with flaming hands.

*Reduced the weight of raw butchered meat

Hell yeah.

EDIT: I managed to start while carrying too much. An excellent beginning.
EDIT2: I can make lead slugs, sweeeeeet.
EDIT3: I accidentally got caught stealing by farmers and by killing them I got 100 vinewafers. No one else in town noticed, so Im really lucky this game.

Also, does anyone know how boosters and regenera aoutoinjectors work? How long do they last?
And suppressive fire says its chance is 3xaMod%. I would like to know what aMod stands for.

aMod means your agility modifer, in this case. Not particularly clear wording.

[cerapa]

Ah, thanks. How do I determine my agility modifier? It the number next to my agility?

And a hint for everyone else, if you see an expensive artifact in a store, buy it. I ended up with an electrobow and am currently murdering baboons.

EDIT: Apparently aim doesnt work with bows? The skill description says you should be able to do it with bows.
EDIT2: I have found the awesomest door! If you go through it from the left, the game freezes. Anyone want the save to see for themselves?
EDIT3: Apparently looking at the door causes the game to freeze.
EDIT4: But only when looking from the left. I do believe this is the weirdest bug I have ever seen.

[Sappho]

Ohhhh updates, awesome!

I've found, as far as starting the game goes, that if I take my time, am careful with each step, and clear out all the areas on the way to Redrock, I am strong enough by the time I get to the caves that I can make it through.  It's all about being careful with each action and step, however - I tend to die when I'm walking back to town and don't notice that an enemy is coming towards me, then I get smushed.

As for food, I think the harvesting skill is worth having. You can collect 10 vine wafers at a time from any vine, so you don't have to worry quite so much about food supplies.

EDIT: To download the latest version do we just go to the same download page and re-install, or is there a patch-only file we can download somewhere?

I have a small request, oh kind rogue-like maker.

Could you make it so whenever in the normal gameplay screen, as in, when you're actually playing your character and moving around, your game doesn't use nearly 100% of the cpu? As soon as I open any menu, the game drops to a normal cpu usage.

Hit F11 to disable animations if CPU utilization is a big concern.

[Soulwynd]

Oh, I could do that yes, but I don't really want to disable animations. You could perhaps make it update only 10 times a second instead of over 9000? That would help and keep animations up.

It's just a suggestion that would make your game more enjoyable without getting rid of the cool animation feature.

The second reason would be that, with animations disabled, the screen is soon filled up with tiles that wont go away, like *HIT*... *BLOCK* .. and things like that.

[Pillow_Killer]

Whatever you do, dont have it hardcoded. I want my animations.

[Soulwynd]

Oh, I don't mean to get rid of them. What I mean is that I think it can be handled, keeping the same animation fluid looks, without eating quite a lot of cpu time.
