Feature "Friday" - October 4, 2018

New item: anti-gravity boots.

Your clones no longer pass on their inspirations for meal ideas to you.

Evil twins no longer spawn during game initialization, resulting in half-formed twins.

Villagers who give dynamic quests no longer confusingly wander around their villages.

Rehabilitated some jumbled outcomes for the Kith and Kin quest.

Corrected the rhyme scheme of the procedural love poem.

Dawngliders and fruit flies now correctly have wings.

Ceremonial vibrokhopeshes now have a boot sequence and power source, though it's a power source you don't have to worry about getting disabled under most circumstances. *Most* circumstances.

Animated walls and doors no longer continue rendering in their updated position when out of your sight.

Grit Gate now shows up highlighted in the alt display.

Made the appearance and behavior of the interaction menu 'look' command more consistent with regular look.

Changed the tinkering bits on ruin recoilers.

Ruin recoilers now have their name displayed as "random-point recoiler" on their tinkering recipe instead of using a specific recoiler location.

Auto-explore no longer attempts to open empty chests and bookshelves.

Fixed a bug that was preventing all desert canyon encounters from generating. These included apple farms, pig farms, snapjaw forts, and Stopsvalinn.

Fixed a bug that caused the salt dunes alternate start to not correctly grant reputation with the unshelled reptiles faction.

Fixed a bug that allowed you to choose campfire options even when they were greyed out because you didn't have the appropriate skills.

Fixed a bug that caused the feathered and scaled mods to sometimes inappropriately modify the player's reputation when equipped and unequipped by non-player creatures.

Fixed a bug that caused the splash sound effect to be played when you stepped into a tile with a closed liquid container (such as a canteen).

Fixed Freezing Hands and Flaming Hands having incorrect damage listed in their level-up preview dialogs.

Fixed a bug that caused twinning lampreys to spawn too many twins.

[modding] Added some new properties to the MechanicalWings part.

Type: a string like "AntigravityBoots" used to differentiate the events used by different MechanicalWings parts. This facilitates having multiple sources of equipment-based flight.
FlightSourceDescription: a string added to the display text of the Fly and Land abilities. Use it to differentiate between different types of equipment-based flight.

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.
