Feature Friday - May 17, 2019

Beguiling is now put on cooldown when you attempt to beguile and fail.
Tractor beams no longer move stairs.
Liquid containers now let you toggle whether you want to autocollect the liquids they contain, if they contain pure liquids.
Creatures with whom you've performed the water ritual now have positive personal feelings toward you separate from their faction-derived feelings.
The outskirts of generated villages and Bey Lah now have appropriate map names.
Sewage eels now respect phase and flight.
Telepathy no longer works on creatures without minds or creatures with sufficiently unfamiliar minds.
Desalination pellets now remove the salt from a liquid mixture rather than converting it to the other liquids.
Objects with onboard fusion reactors now explode with less force when they're destroyed.
Your character tile and the tiles of your companions are no longer recolored to white when the option to color tiles according to HP status is disabled.

Made some improvements to choice dialogs, including cleaner wrapping and scrolling.
Fixed several issues with recoiler quest rewards.
[modding] Factions are now moddable. Check out Factions.xml.
[modding] You can now add the part VariableReplacementInDisplayName to objects in order to use the =pronouns.x= style referent variables in the object's display names. (These variables are used extensively in object descriptions.)
[modding] In-game text references to the player as 'human' have been replaced with referent variables, so mods that introduce new player character species aren't contradicted.
[modding] Added category names for the arcologies to Subtypes.xml so new castes can be added to them.
[modding] Added scrolling functionality to the Subtypes selection screens ('Choose Calling' and 'Choose Arcology & Caste').

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.
