Will this mean that missile effects such as freezing hands won't hit you while phased as well?

Just hand-held missile weapons at the moment, though eventually all physical effects.

I love the idea of the game and where its going, but whenever i play it i just shit myself from confusion in the beginning, walk around and get killed by some random ass turret hiding in a broken down house.

Then stop adventuring into ancient ruins filled with various horrors. What did you expect, a free BFG9000?

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.

I take like ten steps out of the starting area and pass some falling apart house that has a turret in it that just shoots the shit out of me

I'm not saying its bad or anything, but I have no idea what the hell is going on

That's just random bad luck. The RNG just shat on you. Don't feel bad, that happens to the best of us.

As to having no idea about what's going on, let me ask you; have you ever played other Roguelikes before?

Roguelikes: if the computer rolls a double 6 and you aint lvl 10, you are gonna die, if you are lvl 10, there is a fair chance you will die.
Why do I find them so much fun

Because you're a masochist, at least in video games? That's why I play. I love the challenge.

No need to reply to this but let me just say: when I venture into apocalyptic ruins filled with flesh eating horrors, I do in fact expect to find a FREE lost superweapon.

By free I meant just standing out in the open with no resistance whatsoever. As in, a BFG9000 just standing at the door of ruins with absolutely no enemies trying to stop you.

Damn, I wish BFG's were in the game.

Haha, I was just kidding Tarran. But anyway I agree with this guy's sentiment. I'm sure that one of these mega-updates that the game occasionally gets will include a new gun with ridiculous amounts of power, to some drawback. Surely.

I play Dwarf Fortress ASCII a lot, I also play Incursion, Stone Soup ASCII, Doom RL, Alien RL, Goblin Camp, Doryen Arena, and probably like 20 others. I think one of the main issues is that it's so offwordly, and it seems theres really very little things actually named after something that would exist today.

Have you tried reading through the '?' menu?  It has some helpful stuff.  Talk to the Elder in the center building as well as to Argyve in the far western house.  Ask for work, visit the trader, etc.

Already exists, called the swarm rack (though I don't know that it's actually available versus through cheating). The drawback is it weighs 1500lbs, so you're not going anywhere with it.
