What is the relationship between Multiple Arms and the Dual Wield skill?  Does the skill apply to each arm, or just your original left arm?  If all arms, it seems raising the mutation itself will be overshadowed by the skill.

I've been meaning to ask this myself. Does Multiple Arms give you one, two, or zero additional 'offhands' for skills like Dual Wield and Jab?

Also, I /finally/ managed to get a Dual Wielding character to survive, and he's now getting two attacks with his offhand cryssteel dagger every (or just about every) turn.

Also, I'm running into an issue where the Regeneration mutation just.. stops working for a while, has anyone else noticed this? Sometimes it'll take me 100+ turns to heal 80hp, and sometimes it'll take 400+ while resting.

Got my first character to level five and almost out of red rock. Eyeless crab got me though.

Skip redrock initially. The rust caves are somewhat easier and there is a nice trio of quests for easy xp. Or even more, skip the quests and just wander the marshes killing glowfish.

The dual wield skills only apply to your first offhand. Any additional hand's attack chances are controlled only by the mutation.

However, if an additional offhand attack occurs, all effects that would apply to an attack or offhand attack (Jab, etc) are applied just the same as your first offhand.

Red Rock was actually easier than the rust wells because I was running a physical character and there are NO salt hoppers down there.

[Darvi]

I usually just kill some stuff, go to red rock, go to the rust wells, and get killed somewhere along the way.

Bit of a bug report - I was lost and found some traders; upon talking to them it said that I'd asked about my location, and that I was no longer lost.

Attempting to travel from there afterwords, however, it prevented me from doing so due to still being lost.

I had a level (Redrock 3) spawn with the up and down staircases on the same square.


Also, when you have a lot of items in your inventory, page down will only go down so far (two pages) in your inventory. You have to use the down arrow to go the rest of the way.

This is a slightly odd feature request.

There are several mutations that gain charges rather then cooldown. Off the top of my head, Electrical Discharge and Light Manipulation. Would it be possible to have their cooldown indicator changed to a number indicating how many charges are accumulated. This is also linked to a bug, where Electrical Discharge is always displayed as green.

Random question: Is there a reason there are no 2 point mutations?

[Strange guy]

I guess because it would be hard to make a 2 point that's strong enough to put points into or with a weak but continually useful enough effect to be useful even if it can't gain levels. Though there really needs to be 2 point mutations or more 1 points, when you have 2 points left over there's not much worth taking, compared to tons of choice in 3,4 and 5 mutations.

[beorn080]

If your not making a straight esper, analgesia is a great defect that just makes your health be displayed the same way as the critters normally are. Or just take two 1 point mutations. They're all pretty well useful, especially spit slime and kindle.

Edit: Bug. Steam that has been cooled with Freezing hands or other cooling effects doesn't cool down and recondense.

Going from a level 15 character with an arsenal of grenades, dual folded-carbide shortswords, scoped rifles, and a bag of witchwood bark, back to a level one character is pretty jarring.  I suddenly remember that my only defense is basically to run and hide, and wait for my health to regenerate.  Getting killed by a snapjaw brute again is almost refreshing, if it didn't mean having to rob Joppa blind all over again.

I finally got my greasy mitts on a carbine, and it is indeed awesome.  Still don't know what that mondo-expensive artifact is, and it's probably gone by now if random merchants restock.  I did pick up a schem for a nuclear cell, though.

I second this.  Light Manip you can sort of tell if you're in the dark, but outside in the day you have no indication.  Also, it'd be nice to have "turns until next charge gained" on the display, but that's far from priority.

Speaking of guns, I've got quite a few schematics that I've never been able to build, because I can just never find some scrap bits.  I've got plenty of phasic crystal, but absolutely no pristine electronics, and I'm knocking on the door of Golgotha here.  When do the higher-tier scrap bits start appearing, in any quantity whatsoever?
