I believe using powers also consumes your "food counter." I remember a bug note that indicated Pyrokinesis now correctly uses 1000 energy, but since energy isn't really tracked directly I assume it is related to your satiation/food/verdantitudity.
Actually, energy works off speed. Basically, every tick you get your speed in energy. When you hit 1000, you can then act until your energy hits zero. Like 99% of the actions in the game take up that full 1000 energy, but there are ways to decrease it.

What does the small sphere of negative weight do? I thought it would be some sort of grenade. Does it just free up a little bit of space?

It's a small sphere of negative weight. It weighs like -10 KG, so you can carry 10 Kg more.

I think I would remember if I had amnesia.
I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

I rarely use them, because I have better alternatives, and I kill the target before they are needed.
But for true men, they're the equivalent of cryo/pyrokinesis

Sleep gas grenades + temporal fugue + sleep gas generation = everything sleeping.

It's possible to find a mask/helmet thingy that protects the user from poison.  Suddenly, those poison grenades look pretty cool.

I remember fighting my evil twin, we both had the gas mask and poison grenades.  Both of us threw our grenades, then fought in melee.  It was like something out of World War I.

I won, because I ate food and that healed me (although how I ate food through my gas mask, I'm not entirely sure).  But died to a hermit with a warhammer later.

I don't use grenades because they're like, Special Weapons.

You know, those Special Weapons you never use because you're always saving them for something else.

Quote from: Phantom
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.

Same here.

But actually using them tends to result in my squishy mutants taking half their own health off.
