Feature Friday - May 31, 2019
Added new autoexplore options to ignore enemies based on their distance and your evaluation of their difficulty.
Autoexplore will no longer run into immobile friendlies and stop.
Autoexplore and pathfinding will now merely avoid campfires, torches, and sconces rather than considering them absolute no-go areas.
When you stop autoexploring or autowalking because you see a hostile creature, the message will now indicate in what direction you saw them.
You must now type ABANDON in a prompt to quit without saving
Ovens now appear on the alt display.
Charge's animation will now display the charging creature's tile rather than its text character, if it has a tile.
NPCs no longer waste time trying to charge through solid objects or hesitating when they mean to charge.
Defoliant gas now works properly on the plant matter created by seedsprout worms and sprouting orbs.
Being dismembered will now interrupt the player.
Blue jells now bleed convalessence, not slime.
Pouring from a vessel owned by somebody else into one of your own containers no longer confirms twice.
Examining or disassembling an artifact that is inside a container owned by somebody else now confirms before proceeding (disassembly previously proceeded without confirming and angered owners; examining in this circumstance didn't anger owners but now does if you break the artifact).
Grit Gate medical furniture is now properly considered owned by the Barathrumites.
Hologram bracelets now have a 'deactivate' command rather than using 'activate' again to deactivate them.
Jotun is back where he's supposed to be.
Fixed an issue causing multiple hostiles to spawn in a single cell (most noticeable with turrets)
Fixed a bug that prevented renaming of companions after you had already renamed them once.
The conversation UI now allows scrolling
[modding] Conversation UI has some new overridable methods on ConversationNode and ConversationChoice sub-classes.
[modding] Many conversation hooks have events now, see https://cavesofqud.gamepedia.com/Modding:_Conversation for more information

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.
