Tomb of the Eaters Feature Friday - March 6th, 2020 (beta branch)

200.20: We've posted an update on the beta branch. A note on updates: our cadence has slowed a bit while our small team deals with some impactful life events. We'll be ramping back up soon. Live and drink, friends.

Added a new cybernetic implant: medassist module.
Added a new item: syphon baton.
The co-processor mod now provides compute power that select equipment can consume.
Added new descriptions for the following creatures, items, and objects: graverobber, exit teleporter, ornately carved marble, rotating machine arm, locking machine arm, strip fly, urn porter, urn, sarcophagus, machine press, reliquary, sultan reliquary, ornate chair, ornate bench, ornate table, plant in ornate pot, grave goods, Eater hologram, crypt sitter, and ghost perch.
Added a new tile for the sign to village Ezra.
Added flipped tiles for Eater holograms.
Added some new tomb propaganda.
Fungal infections and motorized treads are now immune to damage.
More NPC tinkers can now repair, recharge, and identify artifacts.
Piston presses now respect phase.
Lunge now respects phase and flight.
Juke now interacts better with effects that restrict your mobility.
Removed the old tattoo gun.
Cybernetics credit wedges are now stackable.
Wraith-knights can no longer be duplicated or cloned.
Robotic and otherwise inorganic creatures are no longer made thirsty by thirst thistle attacks.
Disassemble now requests confirmation before disassembling quest items and items you have equipped.
Disassemble now provides a "disassemble all" inventory action that disassembles a stack of items at once.
Disassemble now has an action cost.
Temporal fugue clones and various other forms of cloning no longer count toward the death and destruction toll of A Call to Arms.
Sturdy spectacles and mirrorshades no longer incorrectly report that they have broken in melee.
Having thirst inflicted on you by an attack no longer triggers tongue bleeding from glotrot.
The Amphibious trait no longer reduces thirst that's inflicted by attacks, and amphibious characters get the same log messages as do non-amphibious characters when an attack inflicts thirst.
A message now periodically appears in the message log when your companions are dehydrated. If they are visible when they become dehydrated, you get a popup.
Fixed some issues with companions re-joining the player after traveling on the worldmap.
Fixed a bug that caused an item type's repair cost to permanently depend on whether the first item of that type you repaired was rusted.
Fixed some bugs that caused modifiers to secondary statistics like AV, DV, and movespeed to be double-applied when they came from mutations and cybernetic implants selected during character creation.
[modding] The ability of NPCs to repair, recharge, and identify artifacts in the trade screen is no longer controlled by the CanRepair, CanRecharge, and CanIdentify properties. Instead, it's determined by the relevant tinkering skills. (Repair enables the repair action, Tinker I enables recharge, and Gadget Inspector enables identify, with Tinker II, Tinker III, Intelligence modifier, and any relevant equipment contributing to identification performance.)

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.
