How do you get this to work with the Steam shift+tab overlay and screenshots? Also, expect an interactive adventure of this in the play with your buddies subforum.

[Gunner-Chan]

It needs to be in opengl mode. Go to set launch options and in the little box type "-opengl" without the quotes.

Should work flawlessly. Though it's noted as experimental.

What little box?

[Aqizzar]

Holy crap, I cannot stop playing this game.  No matter how many times I die to a Sickly Diggle within the first 100 turns, every time I get a character who manages to survive the starting hurdle, Hell yeah boy.

One question, for people who've been keeping up with the game for a while.  I just bought it as part of the Humble Bundle a few days ago, and according to the wiki it was a pretty big update.  Supposedly this update included Wand Crafting by way of the n-Dimensional Lathe.  But the wiki is mum on information about it, and in my game at least, the Lathe is worth $0, does nothing, and crashed my game the first time I tried to use it.  Any word on what the deal there is, and when it might become functional?

AFAIK there's no update for the Bundler's till early this week

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP DOING THAAAATTTT.

What little box?

Lemme hack up a little diagram really fast.



If you don't know how to get the windows up at all just right click the game and pick propertys.

[klingon13524]

Aah, It works now.

The crash has apparently been fixed now. There was a crash related to all the crafting items (based on the new crafting system with the hueg updaet). When you opened the lathe, did it have no recipes, and crash when you hit any of the buttons in the crafting menu? Because it sounds like that. Unless this was just in the last one or two days, in which case it's a different crash? I guess?

I haven't actually played a wandcrafting build yet (although it could be fun), and I haven't sold or bought a lathe, so I can't comment on the other stuff. Although some items (lutefisk cube, I think) have 0 cost, I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but it seems it's not related to the crash. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some lingering bugs though, since it got a complete overhaul and Gaslamp...tends to notice a fair amount of bugs after public release.

Also yeah, wiki hasn't caught up to 1.08 + Diggle Gods yet, and that makes me sad. I'm almost tempted to stop being selfish and contribute. It's a pretty good wiki otherwise.

EDIT EDIT EDIT: If you're playing the non-Steam Humble Bundle version, it's probably 1.07, in which case the bug will not be fixed. La.

[Rhodan]

If you've bought the Humble Bundle version you can go get the Steam key from the download page.  Unless you don't wish to use Steam, in which case that won't really help much.

So, it turns out Shove and Nerve Staple were actually nerfed. Both the knockback and miss-a-turn effects of Shove seem to be resisted seperately - resisting the latter being more difficult than the former - and Nerve Staple is now unreliable and thereby not an effective way of dealing with tough melee enemies. Both are now pretty useless past dungeon level 8.

Luckily, it turns out there's a new flag-carrier for the broken build: Emomancy. Love Will Teleport Us Apart is entirely nonresistable. Combined with some way of causing burn and The Cure, you can safely just stand still and watch everything die while healing any AoE/DoT damage and teleporting away anything that gets into melee range. Having trouble with ranged enemies? Not to worry, Emomancy has an antimagic cloud spell as well.

It also seems that Big Game Hunter is the new poor man's cheese skill as it renders Vampirism extremely powerful via giving you unlimited animal minions to feed on.

I think the Lathe uses Alchemy as its craft skill, and it definitely uses burnt-out wands as reagents.

[cerapa]

There is now no wand use skill, only the wand crafting skill. Burnt out wands are a part of every wand recipe.

It most certainly does not use alchemy skill.

My first character to last until Dungeon Level 6 (and character level 15) died due to my own incompetence (namely, stepping through multiple traps as I was absconding from a burning monster zoo). She had the following skills:

Staves, Psionics, Promethean Magic, Blood Magic, Magic Training, Perception, Wandcrafting.

My strategy for the first four dungeon levels was lay down fire traps and blow things up.
My strategy for the next two dungeon levels was throw fireballs and blow things up.

Seriously, with blood mana I could take out zoos without ever dipping below 45 mana. Crazy stuff. However, it was a pretty cheap/boring strategy.

What really made the run is that I found a Metal Orby Staff with EVEN MORE Magic Power boosting than normal. That helped a lot.

[cerapa]

I got the expansion, and proceeded to do a dual wielding werediggle berserker smith with master of arms . Monster zoos are hard, but werediggle stuff gives so much resists and armour and damage, and rage gives even more armour and damage. Once I get rolling in rage bonuses, I am literally untouchable and 1 shot everything that doesnt have a lot of elemental damage.

Well, until my werediggle runs out. After that I am semi fucked, as I have dropped all of my points into it. But somehow I still kick ass.

[Myroc]

Okay, Leywalking is really freaking ridiculous now. The newly introduced second skill pretty much means you will never run out of mana ever again, as long as you use it somewhat frequently. It's crazy enough that using Dragon's Breath and Rune of Exploding as my main form of attack is a viable option.

[cerapa]

Wait...

You arent supposed to do that?

I always get blood mage and promethean and kill everything with runes of exploding when I play a mage.
