[Vorthon]

Also, from the Canticles Chromaic, Verses XVII-XXIV:

Verse XXIII, Song of Eshurium

Oh - baetyl, baetyl, baetyl,
They made it out of chrome.
And when it's waxed and ready,
I'll have a new genome.


-----

That makes me think that Baetyls have some hidden capabilities, or at least they will once the game's finished.

[Astral]

When you have regeneration, double-hearted, and some skills, you're almost immortal if you can run.

You just need a Sonic screwdriver...

Regeneration, double-hearted, Space-Time Vortex...

Also, what does the basic toolkit do, other than annoy me with its inability to do damage effectively?

[RedKing]

Anybody else had much luck with a "Siamese" build? (Multiple Arms, Multiple Legs, Two-headed)?

I love having all the extra gear slots, plus if you put some points in off-hand weapon skills, you've got a 4-bladed hurricane of death.

Two-Headed might be good as an addition to a mental-mutation-focused character, but I haven't tried yet; didn't see a good reason otherwise. Multiple Arms is fun, but watch out about wearing additional pairs of gloves - you don't get an armour bonus when putting them on, but you do lose the armour value if you take them off. (I don't think I've seen that in the bugfix list yet..)

[Vorthon]

Am I the only person here who uses the F8 and F7 keys when their character's on the verge of starving and there's no hope of getting food in time?

I don't always use it, but sometimes I'm on a roll and don't want something trivial like my character starving to death stopping me.

True. I suppose you could substitute Two-hearted for Double-headed, though I think you have to take a defect to fit all of that in. Though then you're basically a single head with two bodies. Which is pretty freaky.

I'm going to blame Vorthon for me discovering this bug... (And, y'know, not checking what F7/F8 does, first.)

Very strange things happen when you get your 'Left Missile Weapon' dismembered; it dropped my desert rifle to the ground, so after regenerating the part, I picked it up and re-equipped the weapon. At this point, I was 15lbs overweight, and not thinking anything of it, jettisoned an extra rifle from my backback.

Upon killing a goatfolk with a desert rifle, and picking it up, I found I was then 30lbs overweight. I had 'desert rifle x2' equipped on my equipment screen in the L/R slots, and another 'desert rifle x2' in my inventory. Some juggling eventually made things settle out again.. (I was able to 'drop' one of the rifles from my equipment screen, and it vanished.)

Yay! I'm useful! Sort of, anyways.

Is blinking tick meant to trap you in small box-like sealed off areas, or does my luck just suck?

Happened to me a lot too - but I always take the Teleport talent to go with it.

[beorn080]

I just had a thought on making True Humans more customizable along with mutants.

Since they are coming from a place that presumably equips them with a large amount of gear, let them select from a list similar to how Mutants select their powers. At least for generic gear, the classes that get special equipment would still get them, like the Artifex's scrap or that Horn the one guy gets.

Edit: Blast. Flamethrowers need a back slot, so they don't work with wings at all. BLAST.

I really can't reproduce this, I've tried quite a bit, can anyone actually reliably get this to occur somehow? Is there some specific item that you're using when it happens?

[unormal]

*Mk III grenades take a tier 1 bit
*Removed the 'fill' command, 'pour' is now menu driven and much more flexible
*Multiple open liquid volumes will correctly mix instead of stacking in a single cell
*Unequipping should now catch all corner cases where the unequip event wasn't being fired
*Hitting escape to cancel out of quit commands no-longer confirms

Bug: I sold chain boots and 2 furs, had 2 drams of water on me, and it said I'd get about 18 drams for it. After the trade I had -44 drams of water.

EDIT: I have a waterskin with -46 drams of water in it that weighs -10 lbs

This might be related to me trying to apply a desalination pellet to brackish water. I'm pretty sure it's the same waterskin, at least. But I'd already poured out the water a while ago.

[unormal]

No I messed up pour, you can pour to negative volume. Next patch fixes it. We're chugging on the big golgotha rework, it's the next patch. Should be ready in the next few days. Trying for Sunday, but probably will take a little longer.

[beorn080]

Hehehe, I found a DF reference. Very nice Unormal.

Note that if you dump out negative water, you can get massive amounts of water otherwise with the pouring and such, since it adds the negative amount to what you have. Also works for honey, and I presume other trade liquids.
