Feature Friday - January 25, 2019
Added a new music track to Bethesda Susa.
Added tiles for red death dacca, gelatinous palm, arcwyk, skittering sentry, Rodanis Y, the Alchemist, and Saad Amus.
Updated Burgeoning to choose from a much more diverse selection of plants that scales in power with the level of the mutation.
Reworked Burgeoning so that each time you cast it, a primary plant is chosen from among the viable plants of the appropriate tier. About half the plants you summon will be the primary plant and the other half are chosen randomly from among the other plants of that tier.
Added some glowing mushrooms to subterranean caves. More variety to come.
Added the new high-tier armor to some additional armor tables.
Re-classified all saps as winged mammals.
Changed the corpse-drop chance for the various bearded lizards.
Juke can no longer be used on the world map.
Creatures that spawn from nests now inherit the attitudes of those nests. This means village-dwelling nests no longer produce feral offspring.
Village-dwelling snailmothers no longer spawn feral ickslugs.
There's now a maximum number of ickslugs that can spawn on a given map.
Objects being moved by magnetic attraction no longer ignore intervening obstacles.
Slumberlings are no longer woken up by nearby combat or theft.
Cooking with the gland paste of various bearded lizards no longer forcibly removes your beak if you have one.
Fixed a bug that prevented mazebeards from dropping corpses.
Fixed a few text bugs with stasis grenades and mines.
Fixed a bug with freshwater autoget.

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?
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."
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.

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.
