Added an Active Effects screen for viewing the details of your active status effects or the effects of other creatures or objects.

Renamed 'Status' screen to the more appropriate 'Character Sheet'.
To access your active effects, either navigate to 'active effects' on your Character Sheet, or bind the 'Open Active Effects' command in the Keybindings menu.
To access the active effects of another creature or object, hit 'e' while looking at it.
Added descriptions for all 100+ status effects.
Changed the name of the 'spectacles' effect to 'corrected vision'.

Changed the name of the stun gas effect to 'stunned by gas'.

We made some changes to the turn costs of managing your inventory.

Equipping an item in your thrown slot no longer costs a turn.
Automatically unequipping an item when you equip another item no longer costs an extra turn.
Splitting a stack of items into multiple stacks no longer costs a turn.

Removed snailmothers from the list of possible fungal infection cure ingredients.

Added an entry for Mumble Mouth to the Corpus Choliys.

Installed cybernetic implants that occupy an equipment slot no longer add to your encumbrance.

Molting basilisks now properly inject a stony poison when they bite.

The full message log viewer now uses the much better book UI.

Energy cells can now be recharged directly from the cell's action menu.

Baetyls no longer ask for objects you can't pick up.

Fixed an issue that caused the player to gain reputation when an NPC equipped an item with a reputation-granting item mod.

Fixed autoexplore attempting to pick up objects embedded in walls.

Caves of Qud - Pet Pack 1

Caves of Qud is a science fantasy roguelike epic steeped in retrofuturism, deep simulation, and swathes of sentient plants. Come inhabit an exotic world and chisel through layers of thousand-year-old civilizations. Decide: is it a dying earth, or is it on the verge of rebirth?

Who are you?

Play the role of a mutant indigenous to the salt-spangled dunes and jungles of Qud, or play a pure-strain descendant from one of the few remaining eco-domes—the toxic arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City; the ice-sheathed arcology of Ibul; or the crustal mortars of Yawningmoon.

You arrive at the oasis-hamlet of Joppa, along the far rim of Moghra'yi, the Great Salt Desert. All around you, moisture farmers tend to groves of viridian watervine. There are huts wrought from rock salt and brinestalk. On the horizon, Qud's jungles strangle chrome steeples and rusted archways to the earth. Further and beyond, the fabled Spindle rises above the fray and pierces the cloud-ribboned sky.

You clutch your rifle, or your vibroblade, or your tattered scroll, or your poisonous stinger, or your hypnotized goat. You approach a watervine farmer—he lifts the brim of his straw hat and says, "Live and drink, friend."

What can you do?

Anything and everything. Caves of Qud is a deeply simulated, biologically diverse, richly cultured world.

Assemble your character from over 70 mutations and defects and 24 castes and kits—outfit yourself with wings, two heads, quills, four arms, flaming hands, or the power to clone yourself—it's all the character diversity you could want.
Explore procedurally-generated regions with some familiar locations—each world is nearly 1 million maps large.

Dig through everything—don't like the wall blocking your way? Dig through it with a pickaxe, or eat through it with your corrosive gas mutation, or melt it to lava. Yes, every wall has a melting point.
Hack the limbs off monsters—every monster and NPC is as fully simulated as the player. That means they have levels, skills, equipment, faction allegiances, and body parts. So if you have a mutation that lets you, say, psionically dominate a spider, you can traipse through the world as a spider, laying webs and eating things.
Pursue allegiances with over 60 factions—apes, crabs, robots, and highly entropic beings—just to name a few.
Follow the plot to Barathrum the Old, a sentient cave bear who leads a sect of tinkers intent on restoring technological splendor to Qud.
Learn the lore—there's a story in every nook, from legendary items with storied pasts to in-game history books written by plant historians.
Die—Caves of Qud is brutally difficult and deaths are permanent. Don't worry, though—you can always roll a new character.
