It'd be pretty cool if you could mark down locations on the map
Would make re-finding those traders a hell of a lot easier

Edit: OH and multi-level buildings.
Just because.

Is he actually IN grit gate? As in pass the force field?
If not, is he pink? Because then he's probably a named snapjaw.

How do I turn a stun rod on?
You've just got to have an energy cell inside of it, then just stab at stuff. (IIRC)

And a question of my own:
I accidentally applied something (while it was still an unidentified artifact) and now everything's gone blue, I can see in the dark slightly, and my agility has been lowered. Any idea what it is? I'm really hoping it wears off soon :\
Also everything stays blue, even during daytime.

I do believe that that is a skulk injector. As far as I remember it makes you see better and move faster in the dark and makes you slower on the surface. I think it also did something else I cant remember.

It lasts for 1001-1200 rounds (so it should wear off eventually, but it will take a very long time).
You move faster at night/underground, slower during the day.
You get burrowing claws.
You get bonus agility at night/underground, negative agility during the day.
You have limited night vision.
You suffer double damage from light based attacks.

Not quite sure why you would ever apply a unidentified item, since identifying takes only 1 turn and has only a tiny risk of breaking the object.

I accidentally applied it, I meant to examine it ^^

I've done this tons of times when I meant to disassemble or look at something.

I just said that this 's' guy is in grit gate, he's in the lower left and is apparently a merchant as he restocks his wares from time to time. Yet when I open his door to approach him he gets angry and attacks me.

I think it is some incompatibility with turning permadeath off and how the game handles zone cleaning. The game is a roguelike and is intended to be played with only one life, but its beta and you can turn permadeath off so you're not wasting your time playing the same things over and over again.

However, I think I've had zone resets happen even without dying. Not 100% sure of that, though.

The game feels more like an adventure game to me so I play it without permadeath.
Though theese things happen more or less after I'm done playing and quit, then come back later to see some error messages.
Sounds like a save compresssion error or something.

First of all, I want to say that this is an absolutely fantastic game.  I've played it practically non-stop for the past couple of days.

However, I've been experiencing something very odd.  When a creature or NPC appears in my line of sight, a bunch of asterisks appear, usually covering said creature/NPC.  These disappear after I press a key (any key except ctrl, shift, and alt) once or twice, which the game doesn't respond to.  The game then proceeds as normal until I encounter another creature/NPC.

This was relatively bearable until I got to Golgotha, where every tile I move plasters the screen with asterisks, requiring 10-15 keypresses to dispel.  This happens regardless of whether creatures are present or not.  The asterisks only appear when I do certain actions (moving, searching, aiming, and waiting seem to be the only actions that trigger it).  Opening menus seems to have no effect.  This persists even when I leave Golgotha.

I've tried -console and -filter, neither of which had any effect.  I do have permadeath disabled, and my current character has died a few times.

Aw man. Joppa just reset. Infact alot of areas I've been to, including all the levels of grit gate reset.
There goes all my stored water.
What causes this to happen?

This has happened to me once in my game, very very early game when I came back in to Joppa to cash in my loot. My advice is before you go out on an adventure, save and backup your game, that way the revert won't be so bad.

Whenever you die a fair number of areas reset.
Same thing usually happens when you save scum, and I think sometimes when you save regularly.

It doesn't sound like it having anything to do with permadeath, do you have any other debug settings on?
