Hello folks! I'm back after taking a break for a few months. I'm working on a new patch for KeeperRL, which is going to contain a lot of small quality of life improvements (among other things). I thought it could be a great opportunity for our small community to get together for
Made the game respect a flag that prevents certain creatures from copulating with succubi. Fixed a minor issue with animal fence not having desired effect. Thanks to CSeven and chaoticandy for pointing out the bugs.

It looks like I'm in an unlucky streak of urgent bug fixes, this time it's to stop crashing in mods that use the previously removed InferniteEffect() macro.
This fixes another two other issues found in 1.1.3. If you find that any other enemies are too hard or too easy to kill with recent changes, please let me know. Made it possible again to cut off hydra's heads. Only up to 20 body parts will count towards Necromancer's abominations
The previous patch caused excessive limb injuries required to kill living creatures, which this should fix. Thanks to Tooca for bringing up the issue.
Some more bug fixes and gameplay improvements incoming. Please note that some of them will only take effect after starting a new game. Coffins will now heal body parts of sleeping undead creatures. Scoring critical hits against undead will require that the target has less than 40
This patch contains a few minor gameplay improvements and fixes. Ghoul will receive temporary, stackable damage and defense bonuses for eating corpses, instead of permanent stat increases. Added special handling of a scenario where Black Mass is held after Adoxie he has already b
