Most forms of pathfinding will now automatically dig through walls, if need be, if you have digging capability.
Autoact interruption by Heightened Hearing, Sense Psychic, and electromagnetic sensors now behaves in a fashion more consistent with other ways that autoact gets interrupted.
Terrain is no longer shown as "Undamaged" when looked at.
Added new default bindings to the prerelease input manager:
- alt+dpad left => move to point of interest
- alt+dpad right => auto attack nearby
- alt+dpad up => ascend
- alt+dpad down => descend
Added a new 'Adventure' keybinding category for legacy keybinds.
Hook and Drag and latch-on weapons no longer trigger a drag attempt, and potentially prevent movement/attacking, when attempting movement that would not actually perform a drag.
NPC scavengers will now only attempt to pathfind to trash that is in their line of sight.
Liquid auto-collection can now always be disabled when it has been enabled, and gives an appropriate message when you attempt to enable it on an empty container for which no appropriate liquid type is obvious.
Targeting with the prerelease input manager enabled now correctly fires via the fire binding when picking a target when using a binding other than F.
Fixed an issue preventing the highlight overlay from working with the prerelease input manager.
Fixed a typo in the "Zoom In" binding.
Fixed a bug that caused some autoact interruption messages to not be displayed.
Fixed a bug that caused anchor spikes to prevent the defensive lunge of long blades.
Fixed a bug that allowed you to take items from sultan reliquaries without triggering the robber chimes by using the "Store an item" menu.
Fixed a bug that caused Proselytize to become guaranteed once you were sufficiently above your target in levels.
Fixed a bug that caused wire strands to display both a length and a stack size.
Fixed a bug that that prevent some alternate move commands from being activated.

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.
