Caves of Qud (tuxdb.com)

Feature Friday - December 29, 2017

You can now cook with lava.

Canned Have-It-All is now a preserved food that you can cook with.

Scorpiock meat not properly exists.

Removed the Bludgeon power from Equimaxes and Naphtaali runts, which means they'll no longer stun lock you. Be warned, though: albino apes and ogre apes still bludgeon.

If you have Butchery, you can once again butcher cybernetic implants from corpses.

Creature AI now takes combat actions less deterministically. That is, sometimes they'll use a mutation before throwing something at you, and sometimes they'll do those things in the opposite order.

Creature AI no longer attempts to confuse creatures who are already confused or robots.

Falling asleep now clears a creature's goals.

When you talk to the temporal fugue clones of other creatures, you no longer get the message, "You make small talk with yourself."

Temporary and non-temporary objects of the same type no longer stack together.

Fixed an issue that occasionally caused whole stacks of cooking ingredients to be consumed when cooking from a recipe.

Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented monsters from attacking up stairs.

Fixed an issue that caused monsters to attack through floors even when no stairs were present.

Fixed the Escape key not working properly on the recipe details popup menu.

Fixed a rare exception with Clairvoyance.

Fixed an issue that caused only the top solar cell in a stack to recharge.

Fixed an issue that caused hotkeys to be improperly assigned in the cell picker.

Fixed an issue that caused cells to disappear while they were being swapped.

Fixed an issue that caused the looker to bug out when passing over liquid volumes.

Fixed some small grammar issues.

Fixed an issue that caused particle effects to remain on screen after quitting a game.

Fixed some missing ingredient text in the Rust Wells.

Fixed an issue in the Tomb of the Eaters.

Fixed a memory leak.

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.
