Tomb of the Eaters Feature Friday - July 3, 2020 ('beta' branch)

200.65 Tomb-related notes:

Polished and bugfixed [redacted], [redacted], and [redacted].
Changed the Bell of Rest timer from 200 to 300 rounds.
Gave the Life and Death Gates descriptions and much more HP.
Tweaked the crypt reliquary loot tables.
Reduced crypt ferret DV.
Added more hagiographs.

General notes:

Added a new command to attack the nearest hostile target in melee (Shift-A by default). If there are any hostiles adjacent to you, this command attacks the one that appears easiest to kill. Otherwise, it pathfinds one step toward the easiest-appearing visible hostile.
Equipped items and items in your inventory no longer take on your temperature directly.
Ashes are now categorized as corpses.
Factory arms now respect phase and flight.
Pulse field magnets ripping equipment off your body is now messaged via a popup.
The menu for entering a local map from the worldmap was reworked for clarity.
Hitting escape when you're asked for a character name during character creation now returns you to the character summary screen.
Added caves music to trembling dunes underground.
Fixed a bug that made reloading multiple magazine-loaded firearms behave strangely.
Fixed a bug that set Face as goatfolk's primary attack limb.
Fixed some cases where you would attempt to enter an occupied tile when entering a local map from the world map.
Fixed music not playing properly after loading a game.
Fixed an error when generating linear cannon relics.
Fixed some (but not all) issues with world seeds.
Fixed the background color of the trash sprite.
[modding] Die rolls can now be specified as follows: "1d6[foo]", "2d4[bar]", etc, where 'foo' and 'bar' are arbitrary names of randomizer channels. The die roll will source its pseudorandomness from the channel specified; this produces a consistent series of results for a given channel name and world seed.
[modding] Conversation choices now support fields IfHavePart and IfNotHavePart that make the choice conditional on whether the specified part is present on the player.
[modding] The tag or string property ForceAnimatable now overrides an object animation's current walls-and-tables-only check.
[modding] Bodies.xml now supports a BodyType attribute on anatomy elements that allows override of the body part type to use for the central body (normally "Body").
[modding] Added an AfterGameLoaded event.
[modding] Added default behavior for when a modded quest doesn't specify a hagiograph.

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.
