Yay for the various disgusting liquids from Golgotha (sp?). Hell, it's fun mixing liquids, period.

[forsaken1111]

I've noticed that the auto-targeter for firing ranged weapons will often default to an enemy I cannot see who is just outside of my light radius (or outside of my night vision range)

I misread what you wrote and I now feel kinda ill....

Um...I'll have to check it out once I'm at home. I know it's an issue when I'm trying to attack plants with bows, generally early on in the game. I think it's the default targeting the game does when you press 'F'

Yeah, this was happening in the latest build; I'd hit 'F' to aim a bow, and I'd auto-target something out of sight in another room.

I'm working on a general cleanup and bugfix patch. Anyone got any pet-peeve bugs or interface quirks they'd like me to take a look at?

Biggest peeve right now is the lack of attribute/other stat changes for some of the defects (and in general). Hooks for Feet wouldn't have seemed such a good defect if I had known it lessened my speed by 10. Beak, Albino, etc.

THIS. Please have an info window or something which explicitly explains what the mutations and drawbacks do. People who don't care don't have to look, but for those of us trying for certain builds or objectives it helps a lot.

There are also some items that seem hard to figure out. In particular, Nullray Pistols and some of the grenades.

Perhaps an additional function of tinkering or identifying artifacts should be a description of what they do?

Yeah. With eXamining artifacts "you come closer to an understand of x" would mean that you may reveal a part of its full effects, in addition to unveiling what it actually is. Further examinations can lead to breaking it or showing another, undiscovered effect. Better artifacts would, of course, be more prone to breakage but have better effects.

Also, a visual description akin to most roguelikes, followed by a "this is what it does to your stats" for the defects would be lovely.

[forsaken1111]

As an example, examining fix-it foam might give at first glance just "It can probably fix things."

next level of discovery might be "Will fix rusted or broken items."

Something like that. A tiered discovery of the object's function.

With a system like that in, you could put in random artifacts with several functions as well, which would be discoverable.

[beorn080]

That would be amazing.

A second interface thing that just occurred to me. Items that can be activated should add a line to the skills/mutation menu for their activation when equipped. So you have the option of either digging though your backpack ala inventory to activate your recoiler, or you can keep it in hand and activate it quickly from the menu.

Pure Awesome

Thank you so much. Especially the defect thing. And the ammo having effects on it (I had a bullet that was bloody x4 slimy x6 when in Golgotha... wondered what the heck was going on with that. And the everything else I haven't yet encountered yet.

[Carrion]

Amazing update!
