Feature "Friday" - October 31, 2018

Added some furniture to Grit Gate and Bethesda Susa.

You can now properly equip ape fur gear bought from Svenlainard.

The Trip power now more properly respects the anatomy of its target.

The following powers and items no longer work when you're out-of-phase or have a different flying status than your targets: Kickback, Shield Slam, and geomagnetic disc.

Select Target and Draw a Bead are now smarter about the target they select if there are multiple potential targets in a tile.

Equip and autoequip no longer bypass ownership checks. This means you can no longer equip chests from the ground right in front of their owners, haul them someplace out of sight, and then open them safely.

NPCs are no longer immune to the exhaustion caused by Adrenal Control, and they now use Adrenal Control more tactically.

Drinking medicinal liquids now affects the onset of ironshank as intended.

Fixed a bug that prevented glowmoths and agolflies from using their range attacks.

Fixed a bug that caused slippery liquids to occasionally cause twice the slippage they were meant to.

Fixed a typo in telescopic monocle's partially identified name.

Added a new debug option: "Show saving throw debug text". When enabled, the details of saving throw rolls are displayed in the message log.

[modding] In ObjectBlueprints.xml, elements can now have a CellChance attribute that sets the ChanceSlotted field on the EnergyCellSocket part of generated objects, if they have the part.

[modding] There's now a general architecture for altering the results of saving throws. The object making the save has the ModifyDefendingSave fired on it, and if applicable, the attacking object causing the save to take place has ModifyAttackingSave fired on it. The attacker's event is fired first. Each has the following parameters:

Defender -- the object making the save
Attacker -- an entity intentionally causing the save to take place, if any
Stat -- the string name of the statistic whose modifier provides the defender with a bonus to their save. Specify a comma-separated list and the highest value is used.
AttackerStat -- like Stat but checked on the attacker and increasing the save's difficulty
Vs -- a string characterizing the save. Examples include "Stun", "Stinger Injected Paralysis Poison", "Glotrot Disease Onset". Typically this field is used with .Contains() to scope save modifiers to their desired context.
NaturalRoll -- an int, the defender's original 1d20 roll for the save
Roll -- an int, the roll after modifications. Changes to this parameter by either event are taken into account by the saving throw check.
BaseDifficulty -- an int, the original difficulty of the save
Difficulty -- an int, the difficulty after modifications. Changes to this parameter by either event are taken into account by the saving throw check.

[modding] Added a new part, SaveModifier, that modifies the defending saving throws of its parent item's equipper. It's an IPoweredPart and has that class's fields, with the following defaults: ChargeUse = 0, IsEMPSensitive = false, and WorksOnEquipper = true. (If WorksOnSelf = true, this part properly modifies the saves of its parent item. Other WorksOn field behaviors may or may not work.) Its own fields are:

Vs -- a string with a comma-separated list of strings. If a saving throw's 'Vs' value contains any of them, this part's Amount modifier applies to the saving throw. If null or empty, this part applies to all saves. When one of the list items contains spaces, each space-separated item is matched separately, and all of them must match. Example: If SaveModifier.Vs = "Injected Poison", it will match against a ModifyDefendingSave.Vs of "Stinger Injected Confusion Poison" but not "Contact Damaging Poison".
Amount -- an int, the amount the part modifies saves by

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.
