It's been a good while since I played this, back when the true human warden class was considered easy mode due to their great starting equipment and stats, and I reckon it's time to dive back in. One problem though, where do I download it from again? The link on the OP states that it's all the way from August of last year, and that can't be right.
The post links to the newest version. The newest version is always from those links. Don't worry about the post being old, the downloads aren't.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Yes, but I'm saying you won't get any new data disks from Joppa. Meaning if you're around that area you'll have to travel all the way back to the Grit Gates and back if you want disks.

Grit gate recoiler. Joppa is not important after you get to the grit gate.

True, unless you want to check around Joppa, then Joppa's important. Not sure what you'd look for though...

Also, I just thought of it: three merchants=three times as much chance to get a data disk for something you want. And remember it takes a long time for merchants to restock.

Still. I never had a problem relying on the grit gate. It's easy to find red parts to recharge my batterys. And hell I can make new ones. But different play styles. So yay.

Personally, I've never recharged batteries before. I guess I just die before I can even use them. :P

You've got a snipe?!

Damn, lucky. The last time I remember having one is many, many versions back (you can check if you search). It was sooo awesome.

It is. All thanks to murdering that one guy. He was loaded with useful recipes. And with THAT rifle I plinked a caravan guard right out of his group in the middle of the night undetected. So then ARMOR! :D

Huh, I started a new tinkerer game with a data disk for Semi-automatic pistols. Apparently they're really good being worth about 200 drams at the merchants. Hopefully my guy will live long enough to make some. I doubt he will, though, since he's nearly dying in melee against glowpads.

Ed: Aaaannnnddd I died at the first level of Red Rock. Welp, too bad, I won't be getting any semi-automatic pistols.

Edit2: hahahahah, my next guy had a data disk for MkIII freeze grenades. Wow, they are extremely powerful. Negative thousands of degrees three squares from the impact zone.

You know, I've always wondered: what are merchants/farmers token for?

Are farmers markets or settlements implemented?

Play combat characters for a while, start true human with:

STR 24, AGI 20, TOU/INT 18, WIL/EGO 12

And pick either:
Praetorian, child of the heart, or child of the wheel.

1) Joppa is closer to salt dunes than Grit Gate, and it's full of guns, recipes and legendary items. Argyve is useful.

2) Darvi, witchwood is still plenty, remember where everything is and eat it like mad. You will NEVER die.

Take harvest first skill, and use it on the yellow trees. That'll net you witchwood which heals 30 HP every time you eat one.

Head south initially. To the north and east are mountains which can be very dangerous, and to the west are the salt dunes, which admittedly I've never been to but I expect are harder then the salt marshes. The worst you'll hit going south are crocodiles and the occasional snapjaw group.
