Also unless something has changed, the Fur mutation entirely negates the combustion damage

Yep, that's been changed. Unless you're immune, there's a minimum damage amount.

Ahh alright. Its been a few versions since I last played. In fact I think I'll go pick it up again now.

What would be a worthwhile defect to take, then? Not all of the defect descriptions are... complete. I didn't realize that was what gave me the movement speed reduction.

I generally go with either Brittle Bones or the one that makes you take extra/longer damage from bleeding. Brittle Bones isn't too bad, though anything that deals blunt damage will deal extra damage to you (supposedly 1.5 times as much). There aren't too many things that cause bleeding, so Hemophilia is good in that regard, the problem is that if anything so much as scratches your arm before you find enough bandages or get high enough regen or whatever, you're guaranteed to die. Avoid Horned Chameleons like the plague and pray you never step on an ivory plant, because those will be a death sentence.

Personally, I find Analgesia to always be a good choice for a 2 pointer. Amphibious used to be THE 4 point physical, but then they fixed the salt water issue. Not sure how good it is now. As for the rest, Electromagnetic Impulse might or might not be ok, depending on if it affects you, and if the folks in gritgate take issue with it. Myopia is basically being in permanent night mode, though I think spectacles and telescopic lenses might negate it, as would hearing or maybe Clair. Beak drops ego a bit, and removes the head slot, so not too great.

I usually just take Evil Twin. It makes life interesting.

What does Albino do aside from "makes you a pariah to your people"? I did notice a little less regen even with Regeneration at 3 (It took ~100 turns to heal to a full 60 points with that, Double-Hearted 3, and no enemies).

Edit: Ravenous seems to be fairly easy to deal with. Early Butchery and lots of fish corpses.

I always take hooks for feet. Sprint is there for a reason.

Are shotguns classed under the rifle/bow skills, or the heavy weapons? I've found a nice shiny combat shotgun and despite my character being mostly melee, it actually hits pretty hard. Great as a backup/oh shit weapon.

Rifle. Two-handed missile weapons are rifles unless the 'l'ook text displays 'this is a heavy weapon'.

e: Actually rifle skills may not work with shotguns due to a bug at the moment.

[Mephansteras]

I don't know about the most recent version, but the knock-back skill at least used to work just fine with shotguns.

I'm working on a general cleanup and bugfix patch. Anyone got any pet-peeve bugs or interface quirks they'd like me to take a look at?

[Mephansteras]

I find the auto-targeter to be a bit annoying when it goes for enemies off screen instead of the plants I'm trying to shoot that are in the same room with me (or right in front of me). Also, it works as a bit of a cheat to know where the next enemy is, since it'll point out people in areas you haven't explored yet.

Which targeter does this?

[Mephansteras]

Um...I'll have to check it out once I'm at home. I know it's an issue when I'm trying to attack plants with bows, generally early on in the game. I think it's the default targeting the game does when you press 'F'
