  • The Barathrumites are still remodeling. Continue staying tuned.
  • Added new item: blood-gradient hand vacuum.
  • We refreshed how turrets work.
    • Turrets now require ammo to fire. You can supply a friendly turret with ammo when you deploy it, via its interaction menu, or via smart use.
    • Turrets must now reload their weapons.
    • Turrets now have power switches. You can only access them if you have sufficient security clearance.
    • You can now find dynamic turrets -- turrets created from arbitrary missile weapons -- in the wild.
    • Added the following new creatures: low-light laser turret tinker, eigenturret tinker, blast cannon tinker, phase cannon tinker, and dynamic turret tinker.
    • Added two new supporting items: storage tank and gourd.
    • Added a new item mod, jacked, which allows gear to be powered by robots (particularly turrets) who wield it via their onboard systems or from grid power they have access to.
    • Traipsing mortars now use ammo and can scavenge to fabricate it.
    • Seed-spitting vines, thirst thistles, slugsnouts, and agolflies now generate ammo through biological mechanisms rather than not use ammo.
  • Slugsnouts now have tusks.
  • Agolflies now have mandibles.
  • Added a new tile for troll foals.
  • Base troll creatures no longer appear outside of Bethesda Susa.
  • In most cases smart use now prefers to pet creatures, if possible, rather than talk to them.
  • Dart guns and booster guns now use the Pistol skill rather than Heavy Weapons.
  • Grenade launchers now have the correct weight of 15 pounds.
  • Fleeing creatures now prefer to flee into tiles that have fewer adjacent enemies, unless they are panic-fleeing due to a fear effect.
  • Aquatic creatures no longer pathfind or flee into tiles containing liquid containers or puddles too small to swim in. This also applies to player auto-movement while dominating an aquatic creature.
  • Leering stalkers, chrome pyramids, traipsing mortars, and boosterbots no longer drop their ranged weapons upon death (once again).
  • Repairing items via the trade screen now correctly charges the listed water cost.
  • Norm cores now have a power switch that can be accessed if you have sufficient security clearance. They occasionally start in the off state.
  • Liquids that fizz away when using the pour command now exhibit the same behavior when using the collect command.
  • HP restored by life drain is now treated as healing and includes messaging and floating text.
  • Fixed a bug that broke night-vision implants when they were reimplanted after the game had been saved and restored.
  • Fixed a bug that caused phase-conjugate grenades to not shift phase after the game had been saved and restored.
  • Fixed a bug that caused dismembered limbs and equipment to not appear on the ground if the dismembering attack killed the target.
  • Fixed a bug that allowed the player to accumulate multiple beguiled or proselytized companions by leaving them in far-away zones and later returning to them.
  • Fixed a number of bugs involving stat modifiers from effects becoming permanent on your clones.

    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.
