I jumped in a space-time portal but the game got stuck on 'building zone,' so I had to close the program and hope I could load my precognition save. It didn't, its stuck on thawing zone, now.  :'( Oh well, now I can update to the new version now, I just wished it didn't happen to my new best character.

I reached 16 with my best character, got killed by an agolfly in one turn when it shot me 5 times in a row on one turn from outside my viewing range. Next character bought an early grit gate recoiler and used it at level 4, without a corresponding joppa recoiler to get back.

If you want to level up, get wings and any attack mutation. Ideal would be one that can hit multiple targets, but even light manipulation works. Then just take to the air and snipe equimax.

Edit: I've been running tests with various mutations. Certain ones seem rather poor. For instance, triple jointed. The chance to dodge automatically seems fairly small, even at level 10. Also, any mutation that decreases speed or movement seems to be unusable later on without large stockpiles of speed injectors.

Ok, it's still one giant stupid list but it's good enough that I'm ok releasing it.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
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.

Yeah, copper nuggets are always 10 drams, and silver are always 50. Makes them better then beaded bracelets for low ego characters, though they won't be doing too much shopping for expensive things anyway.

I've only played around 5 characters but I'm really enjoying it, so I registered my copy, it's only $5 after all.

I always seem to get just a little bit farther with each character, my last character was a mutant.

I had finished the Red Rock quest and had done all of the Rust Caves quests and was on the way to the jungle village for the first time, when I came across a lair of a horned chameleon. Easy, I thought... Until I found it, the bloody thing could send out freezing waves and other crazy things. I was slaughtered!

I thought I read on the CoQ forum that baking was to be added?

I have been unable to locate it. Does anyone know the status of this?

I've seen nothing regarding cooking or similar things, though these will likely be added.

On a side not, while trying to do crazy things, I learned that you can release gas and shoot ice beams on the world map. I suspect other things are possible as well, but gas shooting got me this.

Next time I die I wanna roll up a pyro and see if I can't set the world on fire.

Na, the range of the pyro spell is too short.

On another note, if you wish for "farport" you will get something that sorta works like teleport, but on the world map. It is pretty glitch, and only seems to recognize Joppa very well. When I typed in "grit gate" (apparently its "the grit gate", although typing that in didn't work either) it sent me to serenity world, which is basically another map that is all jungle except for 1 water tile and 1 mountain tile.
Their are probably some other worlds too, although i can't find any.

I hate qudzu so much. Light manipulation is awesome just because it lets me kill them reliably from range. I avoid them as much as possible now.

It looks like you can get to Serenity world by cheating only, so it's probably a dev. testing tool or something.

Any ranged attack works. As long as you do not melee it, it's easy.
