So, I just tinkered up a geomagnetic disk. Dude, it's awesome.

[Edmus]

That sounds like fun.
I just ran into something called a "emerit wight"?
Or something similar to that. Something starting with E descriping a wight. It was right beside what can only be described as an underground oasis, with two sconces, a plastic tree, a folding chair, and a wooden table. It had the default "a hideous specimen" description. It died easily, as it was hostile; anyone have a idea what it was?

[beorn080]

Having taken it into group combat situations, it is far better then amazing. Captain America HO!

I do have a question. How the devil does one use a portable wall? I've got a nuclear cell I found slotted into it, but activating it does nothing. Throwing it did nothing, and I somewhat doubt equipping it and smacking a guy will do anything, but I can give that a try.

Edit: Commentary on that wall as well. I found it on the body of a dead putus templar in the red rock river. Perhaps the Putus should not spawn down there, as I only beat them and their unique leader, who had night vision?, thanks to obscenely overpowered equipment and a mass assortment of lethal and protective mutations. You're average person at that point would have been destroyed by them, or forced to retreat and miss the very useful loot down there.

Edit the second: I just dove underground, and encountered what I think is some sort of spatially distorted area. My avatar would randomly jump around as I moved about, including off screen.

Edit, part three: I just scored a hand e nuke from a pile of trash. I am now perhaps the most powerful character I have ever ran.

Edit, the finale: And so ends the most powerful character I've had, wielder of the sacred swarm rack of the pyramid of chrome. To a swarm of chute crabs that ganged up on me when I went down in golgatha.

One shot by a rhinox in some deepish caverns. That was one of the least fun deaths I've encountered in a while. First time I've seen a rhinox too, he was just chillin' down there.

[redacted main quest information coming out of the fungal jungle] Just listen to everything Pax Klanq says. He'll have a new request for you in a week or two.

Edit, the finale: And so ends the most powerful character I've had, wielder of the sacred swarm rack of the pyramid of chrome. To a swarm of chute crabs that ganged up on me when I went down in golgatha.

Further proof that golgatha is BS

Yeah. REally it was my own fault. I went a phasing through the walls, looting everything and ending up in the chute crab path. Should have moved, but I was slaughtering them all and figured it would be no issue to go down that chute, with my force bubble up. I suspect that they all stacked on top of each other for MASSIVE swarmer bonuses, as even without force bubble, 9 around me were having a hard time even touching my armor.

[Edmus]

Golgotha is easy if you play for the win. It's not a dungeon that rewards faffing about. You don't even need to fight Slog.

[beorn080]

Considering how overpowered i was (maybe 2000 eater nectar injectors and a mutation list longer then the screen could display) you are quite right. Had I not faffed about, I would have won handily. I will say this though. If you get unlucky and have to fight the crabs, its a losing battle.

[getter77]

Changed Mehmet's tile.
Changed Putus Templar warden name to knight templar.

Procedurally-generated books are now worth various amounts.
Added a new overland tile for the Six Day Stilt.
Updated the tile for Shekhinah's hologram.
Added new overland tiles for the fungal jungle.

[Aoi]

I had an even stupider Golgatha death with somebody way powerful too: I mistook an auto-death shaft for one of the chutes you're supposed to jump down. Fell to my death, with like L7 Wings... (It was my first trip through Golgatha in like five years, so I forgot what a lot of the features were called.)

[Edmus]

There are auto death shafts?
What are they called?

[beorn080]

You can jump down the elevator shaft to the bottom of golgatha. I've heard its survivable with a rubber gum injector and high health.
