Out of curiosity (I don't know much about the subject), why would you need fletching on arrows but not bolts?

Also, bear in mind we can make teleporters out of flashlight parts.

Sorry I missed this.

You need fletching on Arrows more than bolts for two reasons. The first reason is launch stability. A bolt fired from a crossbow is in contact with the stock of the crossbow for the entire time it's accelerating, keeping it moving in a straight direction, contrast this to an bow, where the only point of contact is the arrow rest. Fletching is needed stabilize the flight. The second reason is range. Longbows (and compound bows) are designed to be accurate at longer ranges, and you need fletching to keep arrows stabilized.

XP generation is a little fast now, it's true.  I'm still tweaking it and tinkering and whatnot.  Might see a new system out soon.

I suggest pressing ? in-game to access the help menu; pressing 1 from there lists all commands, and you'll probably find some of the other options helpful too.


Also, whales, someone on IRC mentioned that it would be nice if all menus (or lists of items, or what have you) were scrollable, since there are still allegedly some cases where the lists can run off-screen and the lower items become inaccessible. I thought this was a good idea.

NPC's supposedly, though it doesn't necessarily mean he won't have anything else added in the meantime.

Use "%" i.e. Shift+5.

Now that you bring it up, it shouldn't, really. Cocaine doesn't cause physical dependence.

(of course, psychological dependence is another matter entirely.)

It shouldn't? Really? Have you ever seen a cocaine addict? I knew a guy in college who was trying to kick the stuff, he had been off it for a month and was still all jittery and miserable. Cocaine addiction is no joke. Just because it's a psychological dependence doesn't mean it isn't very bad. It can cause all sorts of physical effects.
